Can we talk about how Jeremy Allen White and Stephen Graham have both starred in one-shot kitchen dramas? I really hope that they got into that on set.

Yes it's the full five gold stars from me for Warfare, because it blew my head off. It's nerve-shredding cinema, brutal and upsetting. As it should be.

On especially chaotic days I like to take a moment and cast my mind back to John C. Reilly's red-carpet looks from Cannes 2015.

Fantastic to hear! And it was a great question (I should've kicked things off with that one!) Glad that she had a good time.

FLOW is finally out in UK cinemas. A hugely-deserving Oscar-winner and one of the best films you'll see this year, animated or otherwise. My review:

Tried to find the words about The Royal Tenenbaums, Gene Hackman's almost-final role: a gorgeous film which carries an extra resonance today.

Gene Hackman single-handedly carries some of cinema’s greatest films but it is his turn in the often overlooked POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE that comes to mind when I hear his name, such an assured yet tender presence in a film that so sharply understands the joys and burdens of the job. Heartbroken.

A little late posting, but it was my pleasure to host our Empire VIP Flow event with filmmaker Gints Zilbalodis. A remarkable, staggeringly beautiful film about a small black cat, a natural disaster, and the terrifying process of trusting and accepting others.

My main takeaways from the first six feverish hours of this season are that Jason Isaacs and Parker Posey are having a ball, the staff need more screentime, it goes darker and is a better season because of it, and Aimee Lou Wood would be great value on a night out. Some more organised thoughts here:

A beautiful cover/tribute to one of the most important artists of our time. So pleased to have played a small part in it by sharing an in-conversation with @bethwebb.bsky.social @iana.bsky.social and @leilalatif.bsky.social about his depiction of women onscreen.

A fresh reminder that Hustlers is a masterpiece and yet over five years after its release we still haven't had a follow-up film from Lorene Scafaria. Please let her do whatever she wants.

This is alarming. The PCC is a legendary cinema; there’s no other place doing what they do.

Please sign and share.
