What happens when Mia Goth, Zach Galifianakis, and Dan Stevens collide in one film? Absolute cinematic chaos —in the best possible way. The upcoming dark comedy “Hey Bear” is already creating waves at the American Film Market, and honestly, we at Vogue Vocal can’t stop buzzing about it. The film, helmed by Portlandia co-creator Jonathan Krisel, marks his feature debut—and yes, it’s as quirky, bold, and unfiltered as his TV legacy.
We love a project that doesn’t play it safe, and “Hey Bear” promises exactly that. It’s a “coming of rage” story where a woman seeks revenge on the bear that literally ate her husband. It’s twisted, emotional and unexpectedly empowering. And with Mia Goth leading the way, we already know it’s going to serve face, fear, and ferocity all at once.
Mia Goth has always been Hollywood’s enigmatic darling—fearless in her roles and quietly magnetic in her presence. From Frankenstein to Pearl, she has redefined modern horror and emotional storytelling. Now, in “Hey Bear,” she takes on Claire —a woman who’s tired of living under everyone else’s expectations. Furthermore, when tragedy strikes and her husband (played by Dan Stevens) meets his wild fate, Claire snaps out of grief and into glorious rage.
As fans, we crave roles that challenge stereotypes, and this one flips the script entirely. A woman taking revenge—not out of vengeance alone but out of rediscovery—is the kind of plot that gets under your skin. And Mia Goth? She knows exactly how to keep us spellbound. Moreover, her portrayal of strength, heartbreak and absurd humor gives us all the cinematic goosebumps we didn’t know we needed.
Let’s talk about the men beside her. Zach Galifianakis, the king of deadpan humor, and Dan Stevens, the master of elegance and emotional nuance—together with Mia, they’re the dream trio we never saw coming. Their on-screen dynamic feels like lightning bottled in film: unpredictable, witty, and emotionally layered.
In “Hey Bear,” Stevens plays Gregory, a man obsessed with studying bears in Glacier National Park. On the other hand, Galifianakis plays Putt—a socially awkward ranger with secrets of his own. As Claire’s mission spirals from tragic to darkly comedic, their chemistry keeps the story beating with both humor and humanity. Honestly, this is the kind of unpredictable ensemble energy that today’s audiences crave—raw, relatable and a little unhinged.
In a world overflowing with predictable sequels, “Hey Bear” feels like a breath of wild pine scented air. Mia Goth’s presence guarantees authenticity; Jonathan Krisel’s comedic genius adds bite and Carrie Kemper’s writing (yes, the Emmy winning writer behind Beef) seals the deal. The film’s revenge-fueled, grief-twisted humor fits perfectly into today’s cinematic appetite for bold, genre-bending stories.
At Vogue Vocal, we adore that Hey Bear isn’t afraid to make you laugh, gasp, and reflect—all in one scene. And yes, for those searching “What is Mia Goth’s next movie?” or “Who stars in Jonathan Krisel’s debut?”, this is your answer. It’s a film that reminds us that power can rise from chaos—and style from the wilderness.
So, grab your popcorn, your glossiest lip tint, and maybe your emotional armor. Because when Mia Goth hits the screen in “Hey Bear,” she’s not just reclaiming her life. She’s redefining what it means to be fearlessly human.
