We'll maintain a placeholder in the hope that the formerly active and vibrant community that was once here may return. And yes, it's not an airport; you don't need to announce your departure, but it's a message that we are still very active - just not here. (6/6)

If you're interested in following the work of the https://t.co/FA57Ce2Yrx team, then we are on a variety of other social sites. We've not engaged fully here for a while, but we've continued to post links to new work. We can't do that anymore. There are a few reasons...(1/6)

We owe it to our writers to promote their work as best we can, but we also want to help create spaces that celebrate art, cinema, film festivals, and thinking about these things in an inclusive way that celebrates all the things that make them great. We can't do that here. (5/6)

“BEAUTIFUL EVENING, BEAUTIFUL DAY [...] presents [a story of] incredible stylistic nuance and narrative depth[.] Ivona Juka’s LGBTQ drama is a monumental film of striking cultural importance.” - Asia Lo Savio, part of the #ReelVoices team @camfilmfest: https://t.co/fraHaK3SO9

“WE LIVE HERE is a hard-hitting debut that questions the future of warfare and military action on a global scale, as well as presenting the catastrophic impact of nuclear weapons & radiation exposure.” - Kit Gilby from @camfilmfest as part of #ReelVoices: https://t.co/YXbIfNkn0E

“For audiences interested in the effect of our shifting media landscape on democracy, [...] NEWS WITHOUT A NEWSROOM thoughtful, relevant, and well-timed.” - Emily Hill from @camfilmfest, part of the Reel Voices scheme: https://t.co/MNHZkXbMP5

“ANEMONE is fortunate in [possessing] Daniel Day-Lewis’s [performance]. Although Ronan Day-Lewis garners a performance of simmering intensity, their co-written script is flat & opaque to the point of tedium.” - @jimgr.bsky.social’s #LFF review: https://t.co/HnzXCdkc6i

"Both Shakespeare & Zhao acknowledge the beauty of grief, which is, of course, a form of love, as well as its horrific reality. [...] Tears streamed down my face, my breath coming in shudders by the end." - Sophie Russell writes on HAMNET from #LFF: https://t.co/EMyQMmWGha

The Impossipod is back for DEAD RECKONING PART ONE! @SimonXIX & @JimGR discuss reconfiguration of IMF to a weird cult and the nebulousness of the AI antagonist. They then break upon discovering which derided English director has an inexplicable knighthood:

"If #MaryShelley’s novel is the dense & sprawling sheet music for an symphony of ideas, then #GuillermoDelToro’s arrangement here is sparser. However, [...] the tune of #FRANKENSTEIN harmonises with the full version." - @jimgr reviews from #LFF: https://t.co/FYtvIQjRdF

"With seething social commentary at its centre, BAD APPLES feels contemporary and culturally accurate to the landscape of public education in the UK [and] director Jonatan Etzler wields the school setting with skill." - @reaffirmsfaith at #LFF: https://t.co/bYNUdhzF2u

"WAKE UP DEAD MAN [...] serves as a corrective for the excesses of GLASS ONION and imbues the story with meaningful resonance for contemporary Christian politics." - @SimonXIX, at GFT's satellite #LFF screening: https://t.co/igJ4Rb8Mt4

BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER rarely fails to be entertaining. However, [its virtues] are fleeting thrills in the service of an unmemorable story. Edward Berger’s film looks like a high roller, but it’s playing with buttons and matchsticks. - @jimgr at #LFF: https://t.co/zgOkgIt3S2

“A PALE VIEW OF HILLS lives up to a strong cinematic legacy of Ishiguro adaptations with its stunning, dreamy aesthetic [&] a talented cast , but the script does not achieve the nuances of its preceding adaptations.” - @reaffirmsfaith at #LFF: https://t.co/qjTccSrgvX
