WICKER was resplendent. The epitome of a Sundance film. Performances were wonderful—to be expected from such talents. But, there was true heart and wholesomeness to the story beyond the sexy wicker comedy. Adored. We all deserve to be loved like this.

I PLAY ROCKY stands less as a character piece & more as a love letter to the magic of filmmaking. Despite all odds against this production, the film itself becomes a representation of the true underdog story. I don’t know where they found Anthony Ippolito, but whoa.

SENSE & SENSIBILITY… ✨swoon✨ An absolute breath of fresh air for the heart & the senses. Masterful in every aspect. A true piece of feminine beauty & craft. I couldn’t get enough of the magnitude of artistry Georgia Oakley brought together alongside so many talented women.

I need a drink after WHALEFALL. I need to catch my breath. That was an intense couple of 106 minutes. Austin Abrams is a charmer, as always, under perilous circumstances. Beautifully shot. A vibrant musical score. Immersive, terrifying & oddly therapeutic. Couldn’t look away.

The Bird's still got it! RAY GUNN turns up the heat on this award-season race for Animated Feature. It's a thrilling sci-fi neo-noir spectacle, rich in character, production & sound design. Michael Giacchino's score is impeccable. I felt like a kid the entire way through.

TENZING is remarkable work of filmmaking & quite frankly a perfect film from Jennifer Peedom. The way the narrative weaves past & present elevates the adventure biopic beyond what we usually see in the genre. The practical work brings it to new heights. #Tenzing

Daily reminder that you can vote every day until the cutoff date, October 15th. Until then, if you haven't already, I'd appreciate your vote! It's a tight race, and I'm at the very lead 🥹

A STATEMENT has come out as one of my favorites of NYFF. Despite its bleak ending, there’s a lot of hope within it. McCarthy has accomplished a complex, emotive, and important feature thanks to the research materials and the A+ ensemble assembling it all together. #NYFF64

Tony Gilroy’s BEHEMOTH! carries a certain gravitas that meshes quiet melodrama with occasional humor as Pedro Pascal delivers a calm-before-the-storm type of performance. A symphony of generational trauma, it feels nostalgic at times thanks to its powerhouse scoring. #NYFF64

DIGGER is egregious & outrageous. It’s a tragic farce of the current disasters we’re living through told comedically by outlandish performances at the hands of a top-tier cast. Ultimately, while it may be a divisive picture, it’s about the importance of art in trialling times.
