A lot of what ends up in award conversations is a question of PR, but this year has had an embarrassment of riches both within and outside those parameters.

BEST DIRECTOR: Jafar Panahi, It Was Just an Accident

The New York Film Critics Circle will be announcing the winners of its annual awards on this account tomorrow morning starting at approximately 9 a.m. E.T. #NYFCC

Many things can be true at once. 1) this review is nearly as breathless as Uncut Gems. 2) I still have mild PTSD from Uncut Gems and will never watch it again. 3) Chalamet is at the top of his game and should be watched. 4) this review via @siddhantadlakha.bsky.social is worth your time.

'Marty Supreme' review: Timothée Chalamet brings chaos energy to this sports dramedy of mythic proportions This nearly 3-hour thrill-ride feels like being strapped to an IV drip of some unholy cocktail of Red Bull and jet fuel.

“Marty Supreme” is sublime. A nerve-wracking sports dramedy of mythic proportions. Josh Safdie scratches that “Uncut Gems” itch with a tale of naïve optimism and spiritual chaos. Chalamet has never been better. Kevin O’Leary is DEMONIC. What a rush decider.com/2025/12/01/m...

One of the better lists of underseen films I've read, from @thathagengrrl.bsky.social, @siddhantadlakha.bsky.social, @rifewithkatie.bsky.social and others! Rare you see actual obscure movies on one of these, but this is about 70% things I've never watched!

Chloé Zhao’s ‘Hamnet’ makes the case for re-interpretation Through superb performances, the Academy Award-winning Chinese filmmaker breathes new life into Shakespeare’s greatest play.

On Chloé Zhao's "Hamnet," a very good movie that stops short of greatness, but makes an emotionally-driven case for reinterpretation through spiritual musings and stellar performances. Out now: joysauce.com/chloe-zhaos-...

I’ve been swiftly souring on Wicked: For Good after leaving it at mostly “It’s fine” yesterday, so this was a cathartic review to read.
