Ann was the most incredible combination of warmth & kindness coupled with deep intelligence and incredible passion. I just adored her. As did everybody. 💔

Thinking about all the family, friends, and colleagues who loved Ann Hornaday. She was The Washington Post’s longtime film critic, but she was also generous and funny and kind and would send random notes praising your work and sign them, “Your fan, always.” 1/2

The WAFCA family is in mourning today at the loss of our cherished friend Ann Hornaday. Ann was a true legend in our field, one of the best to ever do it. She was also a beloved mentor and colleague, whose thoughtfulness and humor made us all better. She will be missed.

Ann Hornaday was a beautiful writer and an accessible one. She connected with readers every time she reviewed a movie. She loved a political documentary as much as a rom com. Ann's cancer was brutal and I'm glad she's no longer in pain. But I will miss her forever. I loved her.

Ann Hornaday was a stylish and fearless film critic who taught me a lot about what the job should be. News of her death is gutting. I was honored to edit Ann in May on a piece about ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN, her obsession. She was finishing a book on it. latimes.com/entertainment-ar…

Very sad to learn about the passing of Ann Hornaday, a stellar critic & warm-hearted colleague. Friendly to all, curious & insightful, with an accessible style rare among her peers. Will miss seeing her at Cannes and other places. The movies will her, too. indiewire.com/news/obituary/…

The two movies dominating film discourse this weekend are a new restoration of a film from 1971 and a 3 hour documentary from Nathan Fielder. What a time to be alive.

RIP RJ Mitte. What an extraordinary individual. Amazing on BREAKING BAD, yes, but also for what came next: living off the grid in Texas, starting a non-profit to help those in need. Honored to have spent a little time with him earlier this year.
