TRAIN DREAMS. Haven't had that feeling of a life passing by since reading Stoner. Heartbreaking and gorgeous.

FLOW: The ending broke me. That's it. An instant classic.

ANORA: for me should go on to win Best Picture (but think Emilia will). It's full of real, nuanced, subversive characters and small improvisational moments, and a central set piece that feels like it was lifted from a Billy Wilder comedy. Then that ending. 😢

"Films need to cost less money, & they need to be bolder in that [sub-$15m] space," said Working Title's Eric Fellner at #LFF

"Right now, what the industry desperately needs is innovative new filmmakers, creative ideas," said producing partner Tim Bevan: https://t.co/CnRJD6klcM

UNDER THE SILVER LAKE: is SO good! A sad, hilarious shaggy-dog LA story - career-best from Andrew Garfield, beautifully shot. Not for everyone, but If The Long Goodbye x Mullholland Drive x 100 Old Hollywood noirs floats your boat, this will spoil you👀 @silverlakemov

The three far right mugs who have turned up in Finchley arguing what to do next while 2000 antifascists are opposing them 😂

@HelenSimmons8 Hi Helen, I think I’ve missed this one but I would love to shadow you at some point!

[Michael Morgan Lavers @michael_lavers]

GUNDA - you'd think a film with no dialogue set on a farm would be a grind, but it flies by. Every shot by Egil Håskjold Larsen and Viktor Kossakovsky is a work of art... and it will break your heart.

This might be the funniest music video I've ever seen https://t.co/eEl2TLpWb9

@ZoneOfInterest- one of those films that make other films feel flimsy. LOVED - the shooting style: deep focus, high fps (?), so horribly immediate, like a disturbing family home video. There's a sequence with flowers that's🤯. And Mica Levi does it again. Go see it. @Directors_UK

[Michael Morgan Lavers @michael_lavers]

KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON: another incredible late-career epic from Scorsese. All 3 central performances are career-bests (Lily will be huge). A looong film but riveting. Ending might be controversial but I loved it, a tiny recompense for an entire genre of cinema built on lies
