Next week, I’m headed to Colorado and the Telluride Film Festival. I’ll do my annual Telluride preview post beforehand, talking about the festival in a more holistic manner. Today, however, as I pour over the lineups of other fests, I have something specific on my mind. Just what might be screening this year at Telluride? […] More
It seems like only days ago I was packing for the Telluride Film Festival, let alone the Toronto International Film Festival. Yet, here we are, post Telluride and TIFF, with the New York Film Festival on the horizon. Each year, this is the time when the Oscar race really begins to come into focus. Interestingly, […] More
It’s somewhat of an unspoken thing that the Telluride Film Festival launches Oscar season. The presence of Academy members, the small amount of press, most of whom are prognosticators like yours truly, and the type of movie that plays in mountains all contribute to that. So, in light of that, I figured I’d fully put […] 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
My friends, I’m back from the mountains of Colorado. Yes, I have returned from the 51st Telluride Film Festival. In literally just a day, I’ll be off to Canada and the Toronto International Film Festival. At the moment, I’m home in New York City for a scant 24 hours, already missing the box canyon of […] More
For the amount of work that goes into making a film or a television show, it’s a literal miracle that anything gets completed. That there’s also live television in this world speaks to talented men and women doing the impossible. Jason Reitman‘s Saturday Night is a loving tribute to that, looking at the creation of […] More
Between Jackie and Spencer, Pablo Larraín has become a filmmaker closely associated with tragic women. He returns once again to that subject matter for Maria, a look at the final days in the life of opera legend Maria Callas. In some ways, this is familiar territory to be trafficking in, but in other ways, it’s […] More
Big swings are always fascinating to watch, whether they work or don’t. When they do, cinema grows and flourishes. When they don’t, it’s still a burst of creativity that you’ll never regret watching. For most, Emilia Pérez is the former. For me, it’s still that, though with occasional caveats. Still, whether it’s here at the […] More
August Wilson stage adaptations are not easy. There’s a reason why it has taken so long to see them come to the screen. So, the mere existence of The Piano Lesson is admirable. The fact that the Washington family made this such a passion project only further hammers home how much this story can mean […] More
In a perfect world, elections would be purely about ideas, with the best candidate coming out on top. We all know that this is hardly the case, with all manner of backroom deals and compromises necessary to even get to that point. Conclave is about the election of a new Pope, sure, but it could […] More
There likely isn’t an audience member who will sit down to The Apprentice that doesn’t have a strong opinion about Donald Trump. Whether you find him to be despicable or the second coming, you know how you feel about him. So, this film does have a big hump to get over in depicting his early […] More
Sean Baker has made a career out of de-stigmatizing sex work. He’s clearly fascinated by characters who exist, to one degree or another, on the margins of society, seen as “other” in some way. Not only does it set him apart as a storyteller, it leads to some incredibly unique works. Starlet, Tangerine, The Florida […] More
