DIE MY LOVE is a frenetic and messy experiential film about the emotional and mental unraveling in postpartum, but it never felt like there was much beyond its chaos. Lawrence and Pattinson are, however, revelatory. #SFCS

Die My Love
Lynne Ramsay's DIE MY LOVE features towering complementary performances from Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson but it's hollow performative structure failed to resonate emotionally

PREDATOR: BADLANDS is a badass thrill ride that brings us one step closer to a proper Alien vs. Predator film. A dream that I, for one, can't wait to see become reality. #SFCS

The Seattle Film Critics Society joins our colleagues in @lafilmcritics.bsky.social, @nsfc.bsky.social, and @nyfcc.bsky.social in denouncing the decision by Nextstar and Disney-ABC to suspend JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!
lafilmcritics.bsky.social Los Angeles Film Critics Association @lafilmcritics.bsky.social · Sep 18
We strongly condemn the actions taken by Nexstar and Disney-ABC to pull JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! off the air.
FILM CRITICS’ GROUPS DENOUNCE NEXSTAR AND DISNEY-ABC DECISIONS TO SUSPEND “JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!” We, the members of the New York Film Critics Circle, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the National Society of Film Critics, strongly condemn the actions taken by Nexstar and Disney-ABC to pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off the air. For decades, our organizations have represented a profession that is enabled by the First Amendment. Kimmel’s long-running talk show promotes free speech, including when it gives film artists the chance to discuss their work. There is only one word to describe the decision by powerful media corporations to silence an individual’s perspective due to fear of repercussions by the government: censorship. This is the antithesis of the values embodied by our work. We demand a reversal of this decision and encourage our colleagues across the industry to do the same.

Confounding is a word I would use when describing the experience of watching A BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY. Because it just shouldn’t be this bad. #FilmSky #SFCS

SPLITSVILLE is laugh out loud funny, but also has a tender heart. The friendship on and off screen between cowriters Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin makes it feel more honest and hilarious. #SFCS

Sam Hayes' writing and directing feature debut, POOLS, shows promise but struggles to piece together a complete puzzle. Odessa A'zion's lead performance, however, is something to behold.

There will never be another Leslie Nielsen, but there IS a Liam Neeson, and he's pretty damn funny too. THE NAKED GUN is a worthy successor to the original and is jam-packed with great laughs, making it well worth the time.

Spike Lee says ‘SINNERS’ is his favorite movie of the year.

“I was jumping up and down, my mind was blown especially that musical sequence… that film was transformative, that film took me to another place”
