Alison Byrne Fields discussed the 10+ years process of making THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD at @truefalsefilmfest.bsky.social, which @deadline.com’s Matthew Carey describes as “a meditation on how we assign value to life and a reflection on mortality”

Oprah Winfrey's Favorite Movie Is An Underrated Fantasy Drama That Made Oscar History - SlashFilm Oprah Winfrey is considered a tastemaker for her book club, but she's also got fantastic taste in cinema, citing this historic fantasy film as a favorite.

Flashback with this @slashfilm.bsky.social article about how much Oprah loves BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD! As she put it “when you see it, you’re just going to want to talk to somebody about it. You’re going to want to know ‘how did they do this?’”

Getting ready for @truefalsefilmfest.bsky.social Day 2. Day 1 was Sam Green’s The Oldest Person in the World, Robb Moss’ The Bend in the River and Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard’s Broken English. All three films about time, reflection, personal history, moving forward. The Moss is a real stand out.

If you like the score from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, let me suggest the work by composer Dan Romer that’s closest to my heart: Beasts of the Southern Wild. It’s a deeply moving, uplifting, and edifying score.

I love Ping Pong Summer.

We’re ecstatic to announce THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD is heading to Copenhagen for CPH:DOX!!!

Welcome to #TransTuesday!

It’s time once again for my annual report on the good, the bad, and the yikes in popular culture. Here comes TRANS REPRESENTATION IN 2025 MEDIA part 1: MOVIES!

including The Day the World Blew Up, Kpop Demon Hunters, National Anthem, O'Dessa, and more!

Spirited away & Ponyo because they’re both incredible movies, duh. Let The Right One In is an art piece. I love the original and the remake but the original will always be the best. Beasts of the southern wild is an incredible movie, I think about it all the time. Need to rewatch soon. —

“A massive emotional journey... A fascinating experience.” Some more amazing appreciation for THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD, this time from Pedro Lima at Movies We Text About

Beasts of the Southern Wild
JoJo Rabbit

A Rogers Park house was an HGTV ‘Ugliest House in America’ finalist — some say it’s always been anything but. Long a neighborhood landmark, the Victorian home was an art project for its previous owners. Its new owners promised to keep it much as it was. Then HGTV came calling.

SO LATE SO SOON the house at the center of the film and Director Daniel Hymanson are featured in @chicagotribune.com and HGTV’s Ugliest House In America. For the record, we think the house is beyond beautiful!

Available to rent or own on your favorite streaming services.

Celebrating the Power of Film and the Best of Humanity at Park City’s Last Sundance Despite the sentimentality that covered Park City more heartily than the snow, films like ‘The Friend’s House Is Here’ reminded us how remarkable good movies can be at capturing our bet…

I tried to put down in words what it was like to attend the the decidedly melancholy 2026 Sundance Film Festival. A sampling of the tremendous movies I highlight: BEDFORD PARK, JOYBUBBLES, THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD, THE FRIEND’S HOUSE IS HERE. Please have a gander.

O’dessa on hulu is really fun. Sweet too. I wish our dystopia was more of a Rock
Opera like this

Not enough love for the musical O’DESSA, the closest we’re gonna get to a HADESTOWN movie, and it rules on its own.

@usatoday.com’s For The Win’s Cory Woodroof picks THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD for “The 10 best Sundance 2026 films we watched (virtually)”

a woman in a leather jacket is standing in front of a pile of scrap metal with the words odessa on the bottom Alt: Sadie Sink in a leather jacket in a junk strewn environment.

We watched O’Dessa and really liked it.

If you’re not familiar, it’s a post-apocalyptic rock opera gender-bent retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice with a masc Sadie Sink.

Beautifully shot, quirky, with good music.

Eric Kohn calls THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD one of the best movies at Sundance and describes it as “a sensational portrait of what it means to keep living in the moment, regardless of what the future might provide, and something of a repudiation to more superficial pursuits.”

candyman + his house + Us + nope + night of the living dead + gothika + malum + angry black girl & her monster + little monsters + beasts of the southern wild + eve’s bayou + barbarian + talk to me

We’re going to @truefalsefilmfest.bsky.social! We cannot wait to share THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD with our fellow filmmakers and the discerning audiences of Columbia, MO. See you soon!
