For Slate's Biopic Week I wrote on two new films from Richard Linklater that reimagine the artist biopic as act of criticism: Blue Moon, with Ethan Hawke as the mid-20th-century lyricist Lorenz Hart, & Nouvelle Vague, which re-enacts the 1959 filming of Godard's Breathless. slate.com/culture/2025...
One of Our Great Directors Just Released Two Artist Biopics in the Same Month. They’re Delightful.
With his two new movies, director Richard Linklater shows a new way to keep the genre fresh.

I fell for HEDDA at TIFF last month, and then I watched it again and I love it more. It's doing something really special and it confirmed my belief that I will watch any period piece starring Tessa Thompson. (See also: SYLVIE'S LOVE & PASSING)

Here's my review:

After leaving HBO Max earlier this year, ‘Looney Tunes’ is a hit on Tubi, the company says, and popular across generations. It should be a model for every classic cartoons trapped in streaming limbo.
