Just want to make sure everyone knows you can "attend" Sundance online through February 2. One of the movies to watch from home is Rachael Holder's promising debut romance, "Love, Brooklyn." My review, from The Wrap: bit.ly/3WGjWv6

'Love, Brooklyn' Review: André Holland Navigates Romance Within a Changing Borough

André Holland, DeWanda Wise and Nicole Beharie star in Rachel Holder's soulful indie romance "Love, Brooklyn."

I know it's been a fairly slow Sundance, but there are still plenty of gems to be found. I especially liked Flora Lau's visually striking "Luz," starring Isabelle Huppert. My review, from The Wrap: bit.ly/4jzgWdJ

'Luz' Review: Flora Lau Conjures a Gorgeous Drama of Technology and Isolation

A visual marvel, Flora Lau's "Luz" is likely to send you out of the theater in search of palpable reality: some grass to touch, maybe.

The Doomsday clock is set at 89 seconds to midnight, the closest ever to a "global catastrophe." How appropriate, given that today marks the 61st anniversary of Kubrick's 'Dr. Strangelove,' the sharpest, most cautionary political satire. Read on: cinephiliabeyond.org/stanle...

If you're in NYC this weekend, you definitely want to see the Liza Minnelli doc "Liza: A Truly Terrific, Absolutely True Story." Which is, indeed, truly terrific. It's at @ifccenter.bsky.social for the week, and here's my review, from The Wrap: bit.ly/4hworjV

I’ve been recommending Walter Salles’ Brazilian drama “I’m Still Here” primarily for Fernanda Torres’ extraordinary work as a woman standing firm in the face of obscene state corruption. But…there are other reasons to see it, too.

WaPo habitually centers men in a female obit subject’s life. This is a prime example. They were partners, but both the caption & opening define her via him *over* her own achievements. Plowright won a Best Actress Tony the year they married! Maybe that helped confer her rank? bit.ly/3PCfLfX

Joan Plowright, English actress of dazzling versatility, dies at 95

She was blessed, a critic wrote, with “unrivaled capacity for earthy truthfulness and emotional honesty.”

Gia Coppola’s lovely, elegiac THE LAST SHOWGIRL is special in so many ways, including career-high turns from Pamela Anderson, Dave Bautista & Jamie Lee Curtis. My review, from Time Out: bit.ly/3DWuTls

Here's the sun setting in the smoke of up to 5 wildfires behind an island the fossil fuel industry built to hide their oil drilling derrick. If you're into symbolism. Taken at 4:52pm today in Long Beach, CA

An island which is clearly bullshit with the sun setting behind a layer of smoke above it. Normally the sun sets at the Horizon though there is often a cloud layer there there's definitely some Wildfire smoke mixed in as well

Delighted for Demi, but my favorite Golden Globe winner is Fernanda Torres, so outstanding in the still-underseen “I’m Still Here”

Been waiting for someone to address the Blake Lively/Justin Baldoni situation with a clear eye. @katrosenfi.bsky.social's take feels just right, for an industry built on spin: www.thefp.com/p/blake-live...

thefp.com

Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, and the Art of the Smear

Amid a turducken of lawsuits, it’s hard to know what’s true. But truth isn’t the point for the people spinning this. The point is who has the more believable story.

Ruth Orkin is one of my favorite photographers, but she doesn’t get enough credit as a seminal filmmaker too. If you’ve never seen "Little Fugitive," Metrograph is streaming it until 1/1. (It’s also on Kanopy.)

New York Times piece from 1950 describes Ida Lupino as “first feminine star to succeed also as writer, director and producer.” Grrrr….this myth is so deeply imbedded in histories of Hollywood! Lois Weber had only been dead for 11 years! But erased so quickly.

Tilda Swinton & Michael Shannon warbling their way through the apocalypse? THE END’s eccentricity and ambition feel nearly endless—as, alas, does the film itself. My review, from Time Out: www.timeout.com/movies/the-e...

What a joy to see JAZZY—costarring Lily Gladstone--earn multiple Indie Spirit nominations. An absolute gem, and one of my favorites of the year. So glad intimate films like this one are still being recognized and honored.

Elizabeth Weitzman @eweitzman.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

I agree with you and am so glad she’s getting the credit she deserves as an actress again. LMK what you think once you’ve seen it!

My favorite thing about the NYFCC awards—besides that mad rush to see every great & good movie before our vote—is that we always honor such a wide range of artists. The full list is at @nyfcc.bsky.social, with THE BRUTALIST taking well-earned Best Film (and Best Actor).
