Tammie Rosen, Beloved Sundance Communications Chief and Film Festival Mainstay, Passes Away at Age 49 The long-time publicist, known for her work at Sundance and Tribeca, passed away this week after a battle with cancer.

Absolutely gutted to hear of Tammie Rosen's passing. She constantly made the impossible seem like it was the easiest thing in the world and opened so many doors for so many, myself included. My deepest condolences to her friends and family. www.indiewire.com/news/obituar...

Tammie Rosen, Sundance and Tribeca Communications Chief, Dies at 49 Following Cancer Battle Tammie Rosen, a chief communications officer at Sundance and Tribeca, has died at 49 after a battle with cancer.

I'm not one to rend garments in public. But Tammie was a friend for well over a decade, she was truly the best at what she did, I loved her dearly as many of us who attend festivals and rely on smart people like her, and the loss feels unfathomable right now.

'Masculinity Is a Word That Should Be Thrown Out': Joel Edgerton on Making 'Train Dreams' The Australian actor opens up about how playing a stoic laborer in the American west changed his ideas about fatherhood, acting, and being a man.

Have been a fan of Joel Edgerton since THE SQUARE and ANIMAL KINGDOM, and he's one of those guys who, when you see his name in the credits, you go, Ok well at least *he's* in this. But TRAIN DREAMS felt like he'd switched gears on something. Turns out he had. ๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ

'Zodiac Killer Project': When Serial-Killer Docs Go Wrong! An abandoned movie on hunting the Zodiac Killer turns into a side-eye look at something even more rampant than mass murder: true-crime documentaries.

ZODIAC KILLER PROJECT is not just an autopsy of a fail; it's a funny, side eye look at the whole True Crime Industrial Complex and how formulaic it's become. Great doc for those who love incriminating montages. ๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ

See My Bloody Valentine Return to Stage for First Show Since 2018 After a seven-year intermission, My Bloody Valentine returned to the stage Wednesday night at a not-so-secret Dublin concert.

Was wondering what that faint din I heard in NYC yesterday afternoon was, and it turns out it was my beloved My Bloody Valentine playing in Dublin (anyone who's seen them live will 100% get this joke)

Welcome to Your New Favorite Cult Movie: 'Sirฤt' Spanish filmmaker Oliver Laxe's thriller follows a man looking for his M.I.A. daughter in the desert rave scene. It's a trip in more ways than one.

There will be bass drops.

Oliver Laxe's SIRAT is out in NYC now, coming soon โ€” or at least one prays on bended knees it will! โ€” to a theater near you. One of the few movies that felt like it was already a cult classic as I was watching it. So fucking good. ๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ

Just watched an ad during a 100-second ad break on a streamer โ€” let's call it Paramount + โ€” while watching a movie, that talked about how you shouldn't have to sit through all those ads when you go see movies at a theater so go to this particular chain of theaters. And they say irony is dead.

'Train Dreams' Is a Tribute to the Men Who Built America Anchored by a career-high performance from Joel Edgerton, this tale of a railroad laborer who experiences love and tragedy is a modest masterpiece.

One of my favorite movies of the year-slash-decade is now in theaters โ€” and this really is a see-it-in-theater-if-you-can experience. You'll be blown away by Joel Edgerton and emotionally bowled over no matter what, though. (Hits Netflix 11/21)

'The Running Man' Turns a Stephen King Book Into a State-of-the-Nation F-ck You Edgar Wright and Glen Powell would like to remind folks that we're amusing ourselves to death, the rich hate the poor, and we're all pretty screwed.

See Glen Run.

Edgar Wright's THE RUNNING MAN is a faithful adaptation of the novel, and a prime example of why what started as a repository for Bachman-King Overdrive now plays as subversive AF ๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ

Why 'Sentimental Value' Is One of the Best Movies of the Year 'The Worst Person in the World' director, Joachim Trier, returns with a drama that blurs the lines between art, life, and family. It's phenomenal.

SENTIMENTAL VALUE is Exhibit A for saying Renate Reinsve is canon-worthy, Stellan Skardsgard locking down รฉminence grise GOAT status, Elle Fanning being one of the best listeners on screen today and Joachim Trier summer lasting into the autumn months ๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ

Jennifer Lawrence Is Completely Unhinged in 'Die, My Love' The actor goes for broke in this story of a new mother losing her grip โ€” and gives what may be the most unique, untethered performance of her career.

There's a 50/50 chance you will love or hate DIE, MY LOVE. What Jennifer Lawrence is doing in the movie, however, is kinda awe-inspiring. This isn't performative punk-AF style bad behavior. This is a 100% free performance.

Ben Stiller Had Issues With His Parents. So He Made a Doc About Them Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost is a tribute, a therapy session, and a look at balancing professional and personal lives that sometimes gets brutal.

Went into STILLER & MEARA: NOTHING IS LOST expecting Ben Stiller to reminisce about his parents-slash-world-class comedy duo Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. Got something far more complicated, self-implicating, honest and dare I say healing than expected.
