NOSFERATU is a theater for our most nefarious impulses where perversion and seduction collide in a psychosexual spell. Eggers’ relentless immersion into darkness encounters death with tormenting proximity while his direction has never felt more alive. Ferocious, feral filmmaking.

it’s the perfect time to assess the state of the awards race with critics groups rolling in, Golden Globes, and CCA noms

we review the trends we are seeing so far, and assess early data in the Oscars Model with @curtissonfilm.bsky.social

more than any other film, CONCLAVE stands out to me in garnering consistent conversation across multiple spheres: critics admire it, older demos showed up at the box office, younger demos brought it into meme culture, its killing on VOD

these give massive contender signals to me

finally caught up with lynne ramsay’s RATCATCHER which, although it was already secure in my head, further solidified her as one of the great filmmakers of her generation. rarely does anyone have such a confident, but subtle pulse on society’s hard truths. she doesn’t miss

very excited to officially be announced as part of @IFSCritics

a lot of work has gone into growing as a critic and consumer of film, and i’m excited for this next chapter

fully recognize that the consensus frontrunner conversation has shaped around ANORA and THE BRUTALIST, but i have such a gut feeling that those movies don’t fit the bill of becoming the “movie of the year” at a time with such palpable political implications

and what if i said these two gave the best performances of the year

EP 110: HERETIC (2024)

We talk about our favorite pie (blueberry), fast food joints (not Taco Bell), and sometimes discuss Heretic with its deliciously sadistic performance from Hugh Grant.
