Magnificent Andersons: Wes Anderson on 25 years of filmmaking craft and collaborationβ€”and his new Criterion set β€’ Journal β€’ A Letterboxd Magazine As a major new Criterion box set of his work hits shelves, Wes Anderson tells Isaac Feldberg about a quarter-century of filmmaking: via Rushmore, Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest HotelΒ and more.

Pinch-me moment: I asked the one and only Wes Anderson about his first ten films, on the occasion of a new boxset from @criterion.bsky.social, for @letterboxd.social. A dream, as ever, to spend time with his intrepid and stylistically singular body of work; one of my very favorite filmmakers.

The Ice Tower movie review & film summary (2025) | Roger Ebert This is not so much a film you watch as one you wake up from, shivering.

Color me dazzled by Lucile Hadžihalilović's THE ICE TOWER, an unsettling hall-of-mirrors meditation on enchantment in the blinding lights of idolatry, cinema, and fantasy. One of the most dreamily arresting films you will see this year. My four-star review for @ebertvoices.bsky.social:

Federal Judge Declares Kendrick Lamar’s β€œNot Like Us” Too Awesome to Be Defamatory Apparently, Drake decided that losing in the court of public opinion was not humiliating enough.

Took a break from the Supreme Court's ongoing horrorshow to focus on what really matters: how funny it is for a federal judge to decide, as a matter of law, that Drake lost the Kendrick Lamar beef

THE SMASHING MACHINE is an indie Oscar vehicle, not a franchise tentpole, and the idea that Johnson needs to come out and explain why it didn't have a massive opening weekend is a sign that both celebrity culture and entertainment journalism have reached new levels of delusion.

BREAKING: The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 100-page opinion -- says it is unequivocally, lopsidedly easy to determine that the Trump administration's view of birthright citizenship is wrong.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Struggle cinema David Roth on 'One Battle After Another'

Damn, so our best writer on Trump & the nightmare we're all living through is _also_ superb at writing on movies? It's fine, I'm not jealous at all. David Roth on OBAA, 1970s paranoid political thrillers, & how revolution, by its very nature, is always a work in progress. flaminghydra.com/issue-416/

PUT YOUR SOUL ON YOUR HAND AND WALK deserves to be seen widely β€” all credit to Kino Lorber for giving it a threatrical release. I stand by every word of the review quoted on this poster, from Cannes earlier this year.

Oh. Oh my. This sounds like a β€œmaybe not for everyone but definitely for me” film, particularly because THE SNOW QUEEN is my favorite H.C. Andersen story. What a compelling review.

The Nocturnal Masterwork β€œToute Une Nuit” Comes to Light Chantal Akerman’s rarely screened, dance-like drama of lovers’ encounters, separations, and reunions is newly available to stream.

Essentials 1: Chantal Akerman's Toute Une Nuit, one of the few movies that reconceives the very nature of narrative and does so exquisitelyβ€”extensively, intensively, romantically; at 4 at @moma.bsky.social, introduced by Aurore ClΓ©ment: www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Anthony Boyle Always Loved to 'Split the G.' 'House of Guinness' Made Him Dive Way Deeper. The star of Netflix's new hit historical drama talks fitting into Irish history, making the call for his own full-frontal nude scene, and the key to rocking a perfect Arthur Guinness mustache.

As Netflix's new historical drama HOUSE OF GUINNESS makes its surprisingly compelling case as the heir apparent to PEAKY BLINDERS, I chatted with breakout star Anthony Boyle about playing another iconic son of Ireland after SAY NOTHING, physicality, mustaches, and more, for Men's Health Magazine.

Excited to share that @kinolorber.com has reprinted my interview with Yorgos Lanthimos (first for @letterboxd.social) in a print booklet accompanying its 4K UHD release of DOGTOOTH. Among the most exciting films of its decade, a defining one in Lanthimos' career β€” an honor to be included in this.
