Matthew McConaughey’s long-awaited return to the big screen arrives with The Rivals of Amziah King, a gritty Southern crime thriller set in rural Oklahoma that blends music, family drama, and dark comedy. Premiering at SXSW 2025, the film hits limited theaters August 13th, expanding August 21st. McConaughey stars as Amziah King — a beekeeper and bluegrass musician — who reconnects with Kateri (Angelina LookingGlass), his former foster daughter, after her mother’s death. As tensions rise, the story unfolds with unexpected twists, shot on location in Alabama. The soundtrack features McConaughey himself, playing mandolin and singing on “Quill,” alongside Ben Hardesty and Owen Teague, creating a unique, genre-blending soundscape. Critics praise it as sprawling and unpredictable — a bold, fresh direction for McConaughey, who’s been stepping back from major live-action roles.
