There are two very different films being made in Little Death. One is big and brash and not especially good, but also kind of fun in a dopey way. The other is sad, almost tender, and trying to make a very different point. Combining them into the same movie is a wild decision, one that […] More
A few Sundance Film Festival installments ago, Jesse Eisenberg unveiled his filmmaking debut, When You Finish Saving the World. That was a touching work, though it really only set the stage for his sophomore feature, A Real Pain. This movie mixes very funny travel humor with some truly empathetic emotions.

I’ve long railed against unnecessary animal deaths in film. Almost never can a movie justify killing an animal, especially a household pet. Cats and dogs are often the victims, but in Handling the Undead, it’s a rabbit that’s given the fate. Moreover, this work opts to make the death so gratuitous and upsetting that my […] More

The 2023 Sundance Film Festival came to an end early this week, wrapping up ten days of independent cinema. As the last bit of our Sundance coverage, I wanted to take the temperature of where you all are in regards to those movies. So, this weekend’s Awards Radar Community Question is on just that. Which […] 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
Well, that’s now a wrap on the 2023 Sundance Film Festival for me! This only marks my fourth year fully covering it overall, with one year almost a decade ago being in person, as well as the last two years from home. Of course, last year wound up going that route at the last minute, […] More
