Brendan George's sweet, open-hearted solo show A EULOGY FOR ROMAN runs @59E59 thru Sunday. It won me over despite myself https://t.co/tpx09crCh2

Check your cynicism at the door: Brendan George is earnest and endearing as he asks for help in mourning his friend in this one-man show, “A Eulogy for Roman.” https://t.co/6o00a8DJ5Y

Happy Birthday, Wes!!

[Film Cred @FilmCred]

Happy birthday to the whimsically unique and subtly influential stylist Wes Anderson! No garbage A.I. program could ever imitate the heart in his work.

"[The film] uses the power of knowledge to dismantle unjust systems that otherwise go unchallenged... emboldening children recognize the abuse of power, and find the courage to speak against it."

@meabhmaybe @enolalugosi Paul Mescal in Aftersun

"Mescal's performance is imbued with an undercurrent of quiet rumination that gradually evolves into a sometimes heartbreaking, but always tender, portrait of a young, single father trying his best to stay afloat."

"In lieu of cynicism, the musical charm of [the film] cuts through the humbug with enough unbridled joy to warm even the coldest of hearts."

MICKEY: THE STORY OF A MOUSE is a comprehensive look at the cultural, political, and artistic legacy of the nearly century-old pop icon.

A colorful reminder that “it was all started by a mouse.”

Streaming on @DisneyPlus Nov. 18

It took Henry Selick, director of the cult classic “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” an entire THIRTEEN YEARS to get another film made after “Coraline,” just to have it immediately enter the Netflix ether.

And I’m out here trying to be a director…lmfao

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Henry Selick says it is a little unfair that Tim Burton gets all of the credit for ‘NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS’.

“I always thought his story was perfect & he designed the main characters. But it was really me & my team who brought that to life”

"Serves as a fundamental film examination on detaching the impact and value of a piece of art from the personal life of the artist attached to it, and whether that separation can or even should exist."

#NYFF Review: Peter Charney (@PCharnz) on TÁR: https://t.co/LeLJIF7Lcj

[Peter Charney @PCharnz]

Hi! I also have a TÁR review, but it’s probably not trendy because I do, in fact, know how to spell “Blanchett.”

Would still love if ya gave it a read!

Thanks :)

Today is International Animation Day!

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate this artistically ambitious and emotionally resonant art form (for all ages!) than by watching Henry Selick’s first film since Coraline in 2009.

THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN is the most Martin McDonagh Martin McDonagh’s ever Martin McDonaghed.
