Twin filmmakers Kevin and Matthew McManus send a grieving mother across parallel worlds in Redux Redux, a 2026 sci-fi drama built around one act of vengeance repeated over and over.
What is Redux Redux about?
After losing her daughter, Irene Kelly discovers a way to slip between parallel universes, and she uses it to track down the person responsible for the death in world after world. Each new version of the confrontation should bring relief, but instead it pulls Irene deeper into the routine of the hunt itself, until the line between justice and compulsion starts to blur. What begins as a mother's grief hardens into something closer to habit, and the film follows her as she risks losing herself entirely to a cycle she can't seem to stop repeating.
About the cast
Michaela McManus leads the film as Irene, with Stella Marcus, Jeremy Holm, Jim Cummings, Taylor Misiak, Dendrie Taylor, Derick Alexander and Raphael Chestang filling out the cast across the film's shifting timelines.
Context & significance
Redux Redux belongs to a growing line of genre films that use multiverse or parallel-world mechanics as a vehicle for grief rather than spectacle, closer in spirit to intimate character drama than to blockbuster science fiction. Written and directed by the McManus brothers, the film keeps its focus tight on Irene rather than the mechanics of the worlds she moves through, using the repetition of her mission to ask what revenge actually costs the person carrying it out. That restraint — favoring one character's unraveling over world-building spectacle — is what sets the film apart within its genre.
