I’m overhearing a conversation between two accountants at this cafe and I swear to god she just said “murders and acquisitions”.

The DIGGER critical snub is similar to the “failure” of BIG LEBOWSKI in the late 90s. Just saying.

This was a big swing and it kept me really tickled throughout. It’s a glorious mess turned up to 11 and I loved it.

Canada so weird right now. More united and nationalistic and resolved than ever in the age of Trump, while also holding these fragmented conversations about Alberta and Quebec breaking away from the country. 25 years here and still this country baffles me.

Let’s stop talking about the value of a movie by how much money it makes on its opening weekend. It is a very dumb thing to do. #digger

This is now my favourite book ever. The apex. Like being transported into someone else’s soul in the most generous way, rebooting my senses of awe and poetic indignity about the whole affair of being alive. A devastating beauty. I’m so grateful. STONER by John Williams is a quiet miracle.

So my son tells me that the TikTok generation has fallen in love with Stoner and it makes me inexplicably happy.

I'll save a real discussion of Elsinore for when it opens but right now I'll say A) every bit of praise you're hearing for Andrew Scott's performance is justified and B) he has a very witty, smart, surprising script to work with. (Don't get me started on the glibness of calling this "Oscar bait.")

Very sad. His American Psycho remains my favourite musical. What a talent. Still so young.

25 years ago today, I was in Canada covering the Toronto Film Festival with five cherished colleagues. In the days before we could get back to New York, the kindness and empathy of Torontonians sustained us. Today I'm thinking of everyone we lost that day, and everything we have squandered since.

Finally saw “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World” - it’s monumental. The moving tenderness between Crowe and Bettany. It has the scale of an epic, but the soul of a chamber piece. It’s really about humans trying to maintain some kind of civilization inside this floating wooden universe.

Good god. If you’re now in your 40s and your parents got divorced when you were a little kid and now you have little kids and you watch E.T. with them let me tell you: EMOTIONS. What a completely moving, absolute achievement that film is. Good lord I don’t remember it being this good.

Am perhaps a little too excited for this film.

Rodrigo Beilfuss @rodrigobeilfuss.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Hot take: Ridley Scott is not good at basic storytelling. Blade Runner is my favourite film. Still, very clunky storytelling. And throughout his career: clunk. He’s saved by great sense of style/scale. A great pitch. Great actors. But the storytelling is always full of holes and need re-cuts.

After seeing THE SWIMMER (1968) I had to sit with a cup of tea and really think about my life choices. So I wrote about it. It’s a properly magnificent film. Read here: substack.com/@rodrigobeil...

I wrote about one of the most beautiful films ever made - achingly poetic and disarming. It includes a story about Martha Henry turning Robert Redford down. What a film. Full piece in link below: 🔗 substack.com/@rodrigobeil...

Re-watched A River Runs Through It last night after decades since first seeing it as a boy. My god. What a gorgeous poem of a movie. Redford…what immense heart and restraint he had behind the camera. Filled with empathy. Filled with wonder.

Watching ‘Three Men & A Baby” and the sequel with the kids while single parenting this week was most illuminating; and it caused me great envy. Those guys really had it figured out: 4 parents living together is the only way to go! Also, Tom Selleck, folks. What a beautiful man and a terrific actor.

Just saw The Invite, which I liked very much for its bleak view of marriage, for Olivia Wilde's unerring visual sense and feel for actors, and for the fact that pairing Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton, absurd on paper, pays off brilliantly. He is now in the great-every-time phase of his career.
