Oscar nominated co-writer of It Was Just An Accident has just been arrested in Iran. Statement by Jafar Panahi:

The Invite Review: Olivia Wilde's Foursome Is an Expertly Crafted, Bitingly Hilarious Game of Marital Jenga The actor-filmmaker's best film to date is acerbic and tightly wound and profits from four actors at the top of their crafts.

“The Invite is a magnetic, acerbically funny, romantic nightmare in the vein of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? It was never a doubt that this foursome could keep the ball so high up but what really mesmerizes is Wilde's meticulous direction.” @screenrant.bsky.social: screenrant.com/the-invite-m...

Carousel Review: Chris Pine & Jenny Slate Soar in Impressionistic Romantic Drama at Sundance Rachel Lambert's gentle drama is a patient, wholly distinctive look at adult depression and love.

“It is a story about pushing past boundaries so well-established that they've metastasized to the degree that even the physical frame of the cinema keeps its characters locked in.” I really liked Carousel. Full Sundance review for @screenrant.bsky.social

Wicker Review: Olivia Colman's Absurdly Hilarious and Achingly Romantic Fable Teaches Us How To Love One of Sundance's more surprising films comes via wicker and sex. Lots of sex.

“Wicker's treasure is in its hopeless romanticism that insists that pure love and adamant individuality can create irrevocable progress through osmosis.” Full review of Olivia Colman’s beautiful fable from Sundance, for @screenrant.bsky.social : screenrant.com/wicker-movie...

The Moment Review: Charli XCX's Mockumentary is an Unmitigated Disaster The loosely scripted comedy drama is a completely misguided mess from top to bottom.

At #sundance and found last night's buzzy premieres to be disappointments. Araki's I Want Your Sex is sleek, fun, ridiculous, silly - but I was turned off by the casual treatment of a predation; Charli XCX's The Moment is a disaster. @screenrant.bsky.social t screenrant.com/the-moment-m...

Paralyzed By Hope: The Maria Bamford Story Review - Judd Apatow's Essential Sundance Portrait of a Singular Comic Bamford's career has flourished in spite of the artist's many challenges; Apatow's Sundance doc argues that she has succeeded because of them.

I love Maria Bamford and I loved Judd Apatow’s portrait of her. What a gift she is. Full review of the doc for @screenrant.bsky.social : screenrant.com/paralyzed-by...

The Incomer Review: A Charming Scottish Fairy Tale Elevated by Gayle Rankin's Performance The Incomer is a sweet and quirky adult fairy tale at Sundance set in Scotland, with a standout performance by Gayle Rankin

#sundance The Incomer is very sweet, really silly. One can feel the growing pains of Louis Paxton moving to features, but Gayle Rankin is exceptional. Full review for @screenrant.bsky.social : screenrant.com/the-incomer-...

Carousel - had a hard time getting on Lambert’s wavelength but once this settles into a tactile understanding of depression - and the difficulty of communicating when you well, don’t know how to communicate - it hits, little off-kilter still-lives just very smart direction and patient. #sundance

The Last First: Winter K2 Review - Sundance Doc Tragically Depicts the Last Frontier of Mountaineering in Harrowing Detail Amir Bar-Lev's documentary is less about the sport than about how natural spaces are corrupted by human folly.

The world of high-risk climbing does not seem like it would be an environment for the likes of nationalism, xenophobia, social-media dependency, craven capitalism, colonialism, but The Last First goes there. Really enjoyed @sundance.org @screenrant.bsky.social : screenrant.com/the-last-fir...

American Pachuco @sundance.org beautiful and joyous tribute to Luis Valdez. Wished it went even deeper! So much theatrical innovation glossed over, but loved the depth of appreciation for a true trailblazer

I have exactly two takes about the Oscars. 1) F1... lol 2) Amanda Seyfried's performance in The Testament of Ann Lee is extraordinary and it's frustrating to see her (as well as Fastvold's audacious film as a whole) get overlooked consistently

Mercy Review: Chris Pratt's Sci-Fi Dystopia Is a Harebrained, Confounding Slice of Swiss Cheese Timur Bekmambetov ends up endorsing the very thing it advertises as critiquing.

Mercy - not uninteresting, as I keep getting suckered into Timur’s advancement with Desktop Cinema, but overall just really silly and politically inscrutable. Pratt is very bad in this, Ferguson very good. Full review for @screenrant.bsky.social : screenrant.com/mercy-movie-...

Sundance Preview: The Fifteen Most Anticipated Titles at The Legendary Festival's Final Rodeo in Utah Some legends return to the directing chair, several more make their debuts, as Charli XCX threatens to make this her year alone.

Heading to @sundance.org to cover the last Park City edition for @screenrant.bsky.social and wrote up a small preview of the fest’s most exciting titles. Hard to narrow it down! Gregg Araki! Charli XCX! A new posthumous film from William Greaves! Boy oh boy! screenrant.com/sundance-202...

Deepfaking Sam Altman Review: A Sardonic and Surprisingly Sweet Look at the Burgeoning Influence of ChatGPT Adam Bhala Lough's documentary of a failed documentary implicitly celebrates the folly of human existence.

If we weren't already, we're about to enter into an era of media that reflects the unchecked burgeoning dominance of AI. Deepfaking Sam Altman takes a sardonic, resigned look at ChatGPT, while also subtly endorsing basic human interaction. For @screenrant.bsky.social screenrant.com/deepfaking-s...

A Private Life Review: Jodie Foster's Captivating Murder Mystery Is Psychologically Dense and Thrillingly Strange Utilizing her French linguistic skills, Foster dazzles in Rebecca Zlotowski's all-together uncommon caper.

Jodie Foster is an artist that finds ways to continually explore new avenues of herself for her work, and in A Private Life, Rebecca Zlotowski's transcendent psychological thriller/murder mystery, she is, once again, magnetic. Full review for @screenrant.bsky.social screenrant.com/a-private-li...

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Review - Nihilism and Hope in Equal Measure in Nia DaCosta's Beautiful and Brash Sequel Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell both astonish in the franchise's best entry to date.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is the franchise's most nauseating and most hopeful, a film whose seeming contradictions act as its beating heart. Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell are exceptional. Full review of @28yearslater.bsky.social for @screenrant.bsky.social : screenrant.com/28-years-lat...

A Useful Ghost Review: Thai Anti-Capitalist Surrealist Fantasy Comedy-Drama With Possessed Vacuum Cleaners Will Break Your Heart Arguably too packed with allegory, Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke's feature debut is still a visually wild, prescient and emotional feast.

Never thought a story about possessed vacuum cleaners could be so heartbreaking and beautiful. My review of Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke’s wild and singular A Useful Ghost, for @screenrant.bsky.social : screenrant.com/a-useful-gho...

Shuffle Review: Sobering Documentary on Corrupt Addiction Services is a Maddening Experience Benjamin Flaherty's feature documentary debut reveals a seedy subsection of so-called treatment centers which profit from the hamster wheel.

If you needed one more reason to be frustrated with the American healthcare system, focus your eyes on Benjamin Flaherty’s personal and maddening experience with the corruption of addiction care in South Florida. My review of Shuffle, for @screenrant.bsky.social : screenrant.com/shuffle-movi...

Seeds Review: Gorgeously Shot Documentary of Black Farmers Is a Tender-Hearted Portrait of a Fading Subculture Visually, Brittany Shyne's film recalls Walker Evans, politically the late Béla Tarr.

Opening at @filmforumnyc.bsky.social is Seeds, a gorgeous, tender-hearted portrait of the perseverance of a fading subculture, with Walker Evans-like photography of Black farmers in the rural south. My full review for @screenrant.bsky.social : screenrant.com/seeds-movie-...

ALL YOU NEED IS KILL Review: A More Faithful Adaptation of The Book That Inspired "The Edge of Tomorrow," But Not Nearly As Fun The allegory for Japan's mental health crisis is painted in stunning explosions of pastels, but its metaphors exhaust themselves quickly.

The same book that inspired Tom Cruise’s The Edge of Tomorrow now has a more faithful anime adaptation, and while it’s certainly gorgeous to look at, it’s not nearly as fun. My full review for @screenrant.bsky.social : screenrant.com/all-you-need...

RIP to Béla Tarr - watching all 7+ hours of Sátántangó during lockdown is a seminal memory - the Hungarian slow cinema pioneer’s work still feels like the most accurate depiction of the bleak powerlessness of everyday people. An extraordinary singular artist.

OBEX Review: Albert Birney Channels Eraserhead in Oddly Pleasing Throwback to 1980s Computer Gaming The comparisons to David Lynch practically make themselves, but Birney has something more nostalgic in mind.

Albert Birney continues to one of the true (potential) heir apparents to David Lynch. OBEX is a tactile immersion into his strange, oddly warm world. Full review for @screenrant.bsky.social : screenrant.com/obex-movie-r...

Sleepwalker Review: Probably Best to Stay Asleep For This Hayden Panettiere Snoozer Brandon Auman's "horror" film reads like a Temu version of a Tubi original.

Sleepwalker sets a new, low bar for the infamous January horror. My full review of Hayden Panettiere’s bizarrely bad vehicle, for @screenrant.bsky.social : screenrant.com/sleepwalker-...

My Neighbor Adolf Review: Udo Kier Posthumously Does His Best as (Maybe) Hitler in Bumbling, Ill-Conceived Comedy Leon Prudovsky's film of frenemies on either side of the Holocaust is off-beat in all the wrong ways.

My Neighbor Adolf is an ill-conceived comedy which treats both PTSD and Nazism like personality quirks. Read my full review for @screenrant.bsky.social : screenrant.com/my-neighbor-...

I Was a Stranger Review: Angel Studio's Latest Turns the Migrant Crisis Into Digestible Thriller Brandt Andersen's film comes from the right place but inadvertently succumbs to the genre's worst tendencies.

Angel Studios’ latest film, I Was a Stranger, is arguably their best - and yet it is also their most myopic and self-serving, a digestible thriller which reduces the migrant crisis to fodder for generalized action. My full review for @screenrant.bsky.social : screenrant.com/i-was-a-stra...

The Mother and the Bear Review: New Year, New Mom, in Johnny Ma's Sweet and Slight Comedy Kim Ho-jung soars as an obsessive and overbearing parent on a journey of self-discovery in TIFF film out of Canada.

Here's my first review of 2026: the charming (if a bit slight) comedy The Mother and the Bear, which premiered at TIFF in 2024. Lovely take on the elder-person-self-discovery with a little bit of While You Were Sleeping thrown in. For @screenrant.bsky.social : screenrant.com/the-mother-a...

This Christmas, I'm Watching Horror: All I Want For Christmas Is Blood and Guts Screw your overly warm-hearted romances and miracles, I'd rather see a deranged maniac in a Santa suit chop down some horny teens.
