A ★½ review of Jay Kelly (2025) Somehow, George Clooney convened a movie star pity party for himself that involves extended sojourns in the Italian countryside, tailoring by Caruso as overseen by Jacqueline Durran, and a finale that...

A ★★★★★ review of The Chronology of Water (2025) Eight years in the making, Stewart’s truly miraculous “The Chronology of Water” adapts Lidia Yuknavitch’s 2011 memoir of the same name into a ferocious, full-throated cri de cœur without sacrificing s...

Kristen Stewart’s THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER is miraculous; an exhilarating feat of adaptation in how she finds cinematic form for Lidia Yuknavitch’s poetics of the body, translating her lacerating, jagged, nonlinear prose into a slipstream of sense memory: boxd.it/9Ilo7Z

I reviewed Bruno Forzani and Hélène Cattet’s delirious, dazzling new genre deconstruction REFLECTION IN A DEAD DIAMOND, now on Shudder, for RogerEbert: www.rogerebert.com/reviews/refl...

Reflection in a Dead Diamond movie review (2025) | Roger Ebert This is a hypnotic, invigorating film.

"This is a hypnotic, invigorating film, and a step up for the [directing] duo—much like the diamonds that shimmer so seductively through their frames, it has a cold, bright, gem-like brilliance,” writes @isaacfeldberg.bsky.social about REFLECTION IN A DEAD DIAMOND.

Broken Voices (premiering at BIFF) could have been punishing or moralistic; instead, it is quietly devastating, resisting exploitation by emphasising systems that allow atrocity to persist unseen. Listen to @isaacfeldberg.bsky.social + I on @ohmpods.bsky.social

Amanda Seyfried in THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE — an immense performance. Sublimating suffering into faith, agony into ecstasy, both in every movement and glance, she embodies a vision of worship as all-consuming fire — cry of rage, song of survival, devotion and defiance made one.

A Source of Inspiration: Elle Fanning and Stellan Skarsgård on "Sentimental Value" | Interviews | Roger Ebert An interview with the two supporting stars of Joachim Trier's latest film.

SENTIMENTAL VALUE is a trove of lovely performances, but what Stellan Skarsgård and Elle Fanning convey in their portrayal of an actor-director relationship feels rich and honest in surprisingly vulnerable ways. I spoke to them both for @ebertvoices.bsky.social: www.rogerebert.com/interviews/a...

Olivia Nuzzi's 'American Canto': Read the Exclusive Excerpt She flamed out and she faded away. 'Vanity Fair'’s West Coast Editor returns to the written word to survey scorched earth.

Not since their “Cormac McCarthy’s secret muse” story has the writing in a Vanity Fair piece made my eyes bleed like this www.vanityfair.com/news/story/o...

I love mess but man this whole thing underlines how much it sucks that all the worst journalists somehow end up with flashy high-paying media jobs

A Source of Inspiration: Elle Fanning and Stellan Skarsgård on "Sentimental Value" | Interviews | Roger Ebert An interview with the two supporting stars of Joachim Trier's latest film.

"You can do anything on the set, and you’re not a tool; really, you’re a source of inspiration.”

@isaacfeldberg.bsky.social spoke w/ Elle Fanning & Stellan Skarsgård abt the unusual depth of their on-screen dynamic in SENTIMENTAL VALUE, the filmmakers who’ve helped them feel seen, & more:

“in making it, you’re lost along the way”. can't agree more, that's how we give meaning to our existence.

Joachim Trier had a deeply personal connection to SENTIMENTAL VALUE, he says; his maternal grandfather, Erik Løchen—one of Norway’s better-known filmmakers, and a jazz musician—suffered under Nazi occupation and turned to art in part to process his ordeal www.rogerebert.com/interviews/s...

We Live in Time: Joachim Trier on "Sentimental Value" | Interviews | Roger Ebert The filmmaker sits down for a wide-ranging discussion of his film’s poignant themes, the challenges and joys of working with time, and more.

"The film asks this question of the ambivalence of history and memory. On one level, we need to forget, to forgive a difficult parent. On the other hand, we owe it to the past to remember certain things, not to repeat those faults."

I spoke to Joachim Trier about his gorgeous SENTIMENTAL VALUE.

“We need to learn from history. And I think the film asks this question of the ambivalence of history and memory.” @isaacfeldberg.bsky.social spoke w/ SENTIMENTAL VALUE dir. Joachim Trier abt the challenges & joys of working w/ time, inescapable influence of Ingmar Bergman.

ARCO movie review & film summary (2025) | Roger Ebert “Arco” is pleasingly, gently prismatic, if never quite groundbreaking.

I enjoyed the lovely little ARCO, a French animated feature from Ugo Bienvenu that at its best evokes Miyazaki and Moebius — no small feat for a feature debut. For @ebertvoices.bsky.social:

Watched it again today. It’s lovely. Review running tomorrow.

Hard Places: Max Walker-Silverman on "Rebuilding" | Interviews | Roger Ebert An interview with the filmmaker behind the Josh O'Connor-starring cowboy drama.

"We often think of resilience as a continuation of something, whereas I hope resilience can also be a reimagination of something."

Director Max Walker-Silverman spoke with @isaacfeldberg.bsky.social abt his Josh O’Connor-starring cowboy drama REBUILDING & abt the beauty that emerges after loss:

REBUILDING, out this week, is a wistful and elegiac picture that still left me hopeful about our capacity to rise out of ashes and make something more beautiful of our world — in other words, it's a distant dream, but a welcome one. Loved speaking to Max Walker-Silverman about it earlier this year.
