this is a perfectly stated embodiment of how so many filmmakers have come to see the artifice of film as something to hide and in doing so paradoxically makes their movies look and feel incredibly artificial
Jon M. Chu talking about the color in WICKED just made me irrationally angry.

When my Mike Nichols biography came out in 2021, one of the questions I was asked most often was "Why can't I stream Silkwood?" Due to absurd rights issues, it's been devilishly hard to find. I'm happy to say it's now on Hulu. And it's essential. One of his best, and unlike anything else he made.

Want something to do that will help you get away from the world but also think about it? Jesse Eisenberg's movie A Real Pain opens wider on Friday. I saw it a month ago and it's grown and grown for me. Witty, sorrowful, well-calibrated, beautifully played and written--it will take you on a journey.

My feelings on Gladiator II are about the same as the first: it’s fine
Much better fight choreo + action, offset by Paul Mescal simply not being able to carry a film like this the way Russell Crowe did so effortlessly 20 years ago
Denzel is levels above the rest
