Many thanks to @alulafilmfest for inviting me to moderate their opening night Q&A with Hou Hsiao-hsien’s longtime editor Liao Ching-sung! He described Hou’s presence as ā€œa sun,ā€ shared delight over A CITY OF SADNESS’s sync sound, and that they’re still in constant contact ā¤ļøā¤ļø

Jafar Panahi's Palme d'Or winner, IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT, is now playing in New York and Los Angeles theatres. A film of blistering rage and implacable moral authority, in which Panahi's presence, experience and courage are stamped into every frame: newyorker.com/culture/the-cu…

I talked to Jacob Elordi about becoming the Creature in Guillermo del Toro’s remarkable take on FRANKENSTEIN for LA Times. With input from the master of monsters himself (@RealGDT) and makeup artist Mike Hill on the beauty and rage of Elordi’s performance. Link in first reply.

THE MASTERMIND is one of Kelly Reichardt's finest films, a sad, funny look at a going-nowhere sad-sack whose unremarkable life is slipping through his fingers. (It's also a heist movie.) Here's my @Screendaily review. screendaily.com/reviews/the-…

RIP Drew Struzan, the poster artist whose paintings for STAR WARS and INDIANA JONES made those franchises even larger in our imaginations than they were on screen. Here's my roundup of his best work (featuring the original artwork): variety.com/lists/drew-struz…

It feels like Guillermo del Toro's entire career has been building toward him doing an adaptation of FRANKENSTEIN. The result is a movie that showcases his considerable strengths and nagging limitations as a filmmaker. Here's my @Screendaily review. screendaily.com/reviews/fran…

Honored to have written the liner notes for the @Criterion Premieres release of Jia Zhangke’s masterful CAUGHT BY THE TIDES. One of the absolute best films released this year. Feel very lucky to have my writing in this one.

I got to speak to @TheHorrorMaster, one of my favorite filmmakers, for @screenrant! Ahead of his LA concert appearances, he discussed the music-making era of his career, and offered some news about an unreleased soundtrack! screenrant.com/john-carpente…

Epic fail-safe: A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE is a high-minded piece of doomsday schlock — and a baffling misuse of the director Kathryn Bigelow's talents. newyorker.com/culture/the-cu…

The UK selected the Nigeria-set film MY FATHER’S SHADOW as its Oscar entry. This stunning debut by Akinola Davies Jr. unfolds over a single day when two young siblings spend time with their dad in Lagos as people await elections results. Loved this one. My review in first reply.

Had a lot of fun discussing this film that I really wanted to like better with these great folks!
Always happy to have contrasting opinions and make it fun for @OutNow_Podcast. Our takes on #TronAres, between @WalrusMoose, @mtgilchrist, @PrunerAaron, and me, really cover a lot of ground. Enjoy! tinyurl.com/2ssbnpxu
