With summer movie season approaching, you could use a reliable guide to and through the best, worst, and most fascinating new films. Luckily, as senior film critic @salon.com—where I cover film and its role in the broader human experience—I’ve got you more than covered. Lemme tell ya why! (1/5)

A thing we're launching at @salon.com is a weekly art-over-algorithm newsletter on culture and entertainment that isn't decoding the latest trends but rather looking closely at stuff that's (hopefully) built to last. It's called The Swell, it's free, and it starts next week. www.salon.com/newsletter

ahead of opening night at #nyff, i wrote about ‘after the hunt,’ a mercurial and cruel provocation that tests its audience’s wits and questions the modern desire to define heroes from villains in a ceaseless search for answers. i absolutely loved it. www.salon.com/2025/09/25/a...

“After the Hunt” is a slippery study of our desire to wield power
In Luca Guadagnino’s timely drama, Julia Roberts is out for millennial blood at a steep cost.

On this note, I absolutely endorse this @salon.com review of the now Emmy-winning Adolescence by @colemanjspilde.bsky.social www.salon.com/2025/03/18/a...

"Adolescence" explores the dark consequences of teenage boys being radicalized online - Salon.com
The third episode of the limited series finds online misogyny bleeding into real-life, and parents shouldn't look away.

"Escola didn’t catch up to the culture; the culture caught up to them. Their win and ongoing success are fate manifested, a testament to the power of hard work and uncompromising vision. Sometimes, the right things still happen." Read the story by @colemanjspilde.bsky.social ⬇️

"Oh, Mary!" star Cole Escola manifested their Tony win the old-fashioned way
The smash-hit play is the result of Escola's uncompromising vision and flair for the absurdly strange.

Chloë Sevigny and Lily McInerny star in "Bonjour Tristesse," a lush, haunting remake from Durga Chew-Bose. In an interview with Salon's @colemanjspilde.bsky.social, the stars open up about fleeting beauty, aging, creativity and the ache of feelings we can’t quite name. www.salon.com/2025/05/02/i...

In "Bonjour Tristesse," Chloë Sevigny and Lily McInerny try to capture beauty before it slips away
The stars of Durga Chew-Bose's remake find languid, new resonance in the most beguiling film of the year.

david cronenberg has a very singular, special way of addressing the humor in our mortality and the deeply ironic pain of living and losing. wrestled with that for my review of ‘the shrouds,’ his prickly, agonizing, and hilarious latest. www.salon.com/2025/04/19/w...
salon.com
With "The Shrouds," cinema's great body horror auteur goes for something a little lighter: grief
Perhaps the greatest living filmmaker, Cronenberg's latest — a flawed, dynamic look at loss – doesn't disappoint.

Salon's @colemanjspilde.bsky.social praises Lady Gaga's Coachella performance: "A striking vision like Gaga’s is critical in proving that beauty is not lost; it’s just harder to find, and her Coachella masterpiece makes our world all the more beautiful just by existing."

nurse, he’s out! ahead of coachella weekend two, i wrote 2440 words on lady gaga’s “the art of personal chaos,” a magnificent live spectacle where the superstar reminds us beauty is not lost, just harder to find. www.salon.com/2025/04/16/l...

Lady Gaga's Coachella spectacle makes a case for beauty in an ugly world
The superstar's second headlining show in the desert is a magnificent display of artistry when we need it the most.

Really lovely tribute to Val Kilmer here from @colemanjspilde.bsky.social www.salon.com/2025/04/02/v...
salon.com
Val Kilmer, Hollywood's oddball bad boy, was the real deal until the end
Dead at 65, Kilmer spent his life in pursuit of wonderful things, even if it meant rubbing others the wrong way.

it’s almost like journalism has long since been overtaken by a media industry centering the perspectives of the establishment as the default for ‘neutrality’ & any deviation from that ruse gets you fired & shunned. even if you do speak up you can only go so far within their ‘decorum’ boundaries.

scraped my soul to write about david lynch’s radically empathetic filmmaking by examining my favorite recurring image in his work: the long road in the dead of night. would mean a lot to me if you read it. i’m so grateful to have the platform to share it. www.salon.com/2025/01/25/d...

David Lynch's films pull back the red curtain on our shared reality
Though surreal and sometimes impenetrable, Lynch's films lead us down dark roads to curious, new possibilities.

‘wicked’ has its shortcomings (that consistently baffling lighting design!) but entertainment value isn’t one of them. it’s a bewitching, timely holiday movie spectacle, made with plucky earnestness that’ll charm fans and newcomers alike. my review for salon: www.salon.com/2024/11/19/w...
salon.com
"Wicked" is a bewitching spectacle that smartly probes who has power in a beloved fairy tale
Cynthia Erivo is moving while Ariana Grande delights in an entertaining holiday event film that defies expectations

one of my biggest hopes rn is that we get a feature-length doc that follows charli from the conception of brat up to its release and through the phenomenon of the next six months. preferably intercut with sweat tour footage/backstage clips. could be on par with ‘truth or dare’ no not kidding
