This morning, the Main Slate for the 63rd New York Film Festival was announced, giving a far clearer picture of what will be playing in the Big Apple. NYFF will feature, among other things, After the Hunt, Father Mother Sister Brother, A House of Dynamite, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, Is This Thing […] More
This morning, Film at Lincoln Center revealed the Closing Night selection for the 63rd New York Film Festival. That honor goes to Is This Thing On? from Bradley Cooper. The movie will be making its world premiere at NYFF, so it’s a real highlight selection. The film joins Opening Night title After the Hunt from […] More
This morning, Jim Jarmusch’s Father Mother Sister Brother was revealed as the Centerpiece selection of the 63rd New York Film Festival. NYFF announced their Opening Night title yesterday with After the Hunt, so now we know two of the festival’s prime movies. Could tomorrow bring the Closing Night film announcement? We shall see. Here is the […] More
This morning, we got our first big announcement from the 63rd New York Film Festival. Opening up NYFF this year will be After the Hunt from Luca Guadagnino. Julia Roberts stars in the drama, alongside Ayo Edebiri, Andrew Garfield, and more. Being the Opening Night film will certainly be a feather in the cap of […] More
It’s over. Folks, we can put a bow on the New York Film Festival for 2024. Moreover, that’s pretty much it for festivals this year for me, allowing me to really settle in with my own bed (though, yes, I sleep at home during NYFF). Listen, I’ve been very tired! Each year, NYFF puts on […] More
For a British filmmaker like Steve McQueen, the events taking place during Blitz are hugely meaningful. So, it’s not surprising that the movie handles the infamous World War II bombing of London tremendously well. At the same time, the flick ends up surrounding that by a fairly generic human story, one that feels more at […] More
Welcome back to the Awards Radar Podcast. In each episode, Editor Joey Magidson (that’s me!) will be joined by some of the staff of Awards Radar to talk about the latest in film, television, and entertainment in general. The show will obviously have an awards season slant to it, but we won’t forget about other […] More
Politics these days has become its own satire, as we all know. Something like Veep almost feels quaint, given where we’ve found ourselves. So, whenever there’s a satirical take on politics, especially on film with a briefer running time, your skewering needs to hit home. Rumours, playing at the New York Film Festival, does so, […] More
Over the years, Pedro Almodóvar has developed about as unimpeachable a reputation, filmmaker-wise, as it gets. So, when he tries something new, as with The Room Next Door, you go in expecting him to be up to the challenge. Here, he’s attempting his first movie fully in the English language. While it’s occasionally a little […] More
When you watch a David Cronenberg film, you pretty much have to expect something done in a unique register. Whether it’s his various body horror works or when he tackles other genres, it’s handled in a manner unlike most other storytellers. So, when it comes to The Shrouds, of course a Cronenberg movie about grief […] More
Luca Guadagnino and I have a complicated relationship. As a general rule, I tend to like his films less than most, whether it’s something I like when most love like Call Me By Your Name, or something I dislike that most like, be it A Bigger Splash or Susperia, for example. Then, Challengers came along […] More
I will never begrudge a filmmaker taking a bold new approach to their material. Doing something different is often a way to break cinematic ground and establish yourself as an auteur to watch. Now, there’s also the possibility that the boldness will backfire and the movie will suffer as a result. Unfortunately, there’s a prime […] More
