Jennifer Lawrence is an insanely talented actress, without question. She’s also an undisputed movie star, which puts her into rarified air. There’s a reason why Lawrence became so beloved and so famous so quickly. It was fully deserved, too. Any time you see her on screen, she absolutely kills it, regardless of the material. With […] More
There are few filmmakers out there like Richard Linklater. He more or less invented the hang out movie, has been one of the more widely accepted experimental directors out there, and often just feels like one of the coolest guys in the business. He never calls attention to it, because he’s always got his nose […] More
The Sunday Scaries are upon us once again! Yes, as the weekend concludes, most of us feel an oncoming sense of anticipatory dread about the week ahead. Anxiety about work manifests itself into a feeling that’s known as the Sunday Scaries. However, we at Awards Radar are here to combat that, by taking back the […] More
Once upon a time, music biopics were ubiquitous in cinemas. Biopics have always been popular, but chronicling musicians seems to really fascinate a filmmaker. In the past 25 years or so, that has cooled a bit, though mostly giving rise to a new way to tackle the genre. Instead of a whole life, or a […] More
It should go without saying at this point, but you know a Yorgos Lanthimos film when you see it. When I interviewed the man here (alongside Emma Stone), you could just tell that this is a man who looks at the world in a very specific way. That he can translate it into cinema that’s actually as entertaining as it […] More
Like I’ve previously said when talking about her, in a relatively short period of time, Emma Stone has become a real star. Two Academy Awards (for La La Land and Poor Things), alongside a host of winning performances, have made her one of the most likable A-listers in Hollywood. Plus, her propensity to get weird with Yorgos Lanthimos (which I discussed here with the […] More
Scott Cooper has quietly made an interesting career for himself. As I said here when I interviewed him a few years ago, when you watch a film from Cooper, you’re watching work that has a decidedly throwback feel to it. In particular, the character studies of Crazy Heart, Hostiles, and Out of the Furnace are almost a generation out of […] More
Ethan Hawke is, somehow, an underrated actor, despite continually doing impressive work. Whether it’s with longtime collaborator Richard Linklater or not, he’s incapable of not putting forth performances that blow people away, even if it hasn’t yet translated into an Oscar win. I interviewed him here (along with Linklater) earlier in the week. Today, with […] More
Emily Blunt has had a long road to getting her first Academy Award nomination, which came two years ago for her work in Oppenheimer. Now, having had that Oscar nod, she’s almost seen as overdue for another one, or even a win. That should say something about how highly regarded her performances have been, continue […] More
There aren’t many filmmakers out there like Paul Thomas Anderson, that’s for sure. Not only is he one of the best directors working today, he’s constantly experimenting with different types of films. Early on, his work had a Martin Scorsese flair to it (or perhaps Robert Altman, ensemble wise), though he’s since gone in varied […] More
As I’ve said previously when talking about the man, Leonardo DiCaprio is easily one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood. There really aren’t many, if any, A-listers at his level. So, it would be easy for him to coast, making safe films here and there. DiCaprio, however, consistently chooses to work with auteurs, including several […] More
Sean Penn is widely regarded as one of the best actors of his generation. Even if you can’t quite go that far, he’s undeniably one of the most intense. Two Academy Awards certainly speak to his talents, though a host of other performances do the same. As he gets some of his best reviews in […] More
