Two of the most powerful performances I’ve seen this year come from child actors in horror films. Just glad to see directors using the genre to explore a little deeper into childhood themes, moving past the one-note portrayals we've been stuck with for a long time.

Sally Hawkins' range in BRING HER BACK is astounding, convincingly playing a comforting counselor one second, a ruthless monster or a grieving mother the next. It's such a precise, ever-fluctuating performance.

Was absolutely hypnotized by SIRĀT, Laxe's propulsive film, where life and death breathe as one, transported by the pulse of its trance.

THE WOMAN IN THE YARD is messy and forgettable, but it’s also an exciting showcase of Collet-Serra’s visual flair, his inventiveness and playfulness.

Julianne Nicholson being by far the best part of this season of HACKS…is there something this woman can’t do?

CAUGHT BY THE TIDES sees Zhangke examine once again the alienating effects of modernization on human connections but imbues it with an even stronger sense of lingering melancholy. Would make a perfect double feature with Bonello’s THE BEAST. As always Zhao Tao is nothing short of stellar.

Loved Andrew Ahn’s THE WEDDING BANQUET, which finds strength in its subtlety, never overplaying its humor and always wearing its heart on its sleeve. More heartfelt, genuine comedies like this, please!

Freaking pumped to see Oliver Laxe in the Cannes' official selection. His previous film, FIRE WILL COME was such a gorgeous and eerie depicition of Galician rural life.

Carrie Coon, true MVP of this season of WHITE LOTUS. Very few actors are able to create credible and nuanced characters like her, regardless of how much screentime or development they get.

LES REINES DU DRAME fucking rocks. Between this, THE PEOPLE'S JOKER and I SAW THE TV GLOW...queer cinema is really proving to be the antidote to creative fatigue in mainstream films.

Sleek, sexy and so effective in its subversion of the spy thriller, BLACK BAG is further proof that Soderbergh is one of the contemporary greats. Loved how he constantly mixes playfulness and rigor in his visual grammar.

What a pleasure it is to see Aimee Lou Wood grace our TV screens weekly in THE WHITE LOTUS. Love every one of her performances but especially her supporting role in LIVING, where she brings a lively, yet understated youthful energy that plays so effectively against Nighy's sorrow.

In a perfect world, Abou Sangare would not only have won the César for Male Revelation but also the Best Actor award. His performance is nothing short of miraculous...the last minutes alone are some of the most gripping acting work in a decade.

RaMell Ross' vision, his empathy imbued in every frame of NICKEL BOYS, left me shattered. To witness a filmmaker confront the depths of humanity’s depravity head-on and still choose to perpetually seek out the light is beyond inspiring. In these dark times, Ross' cinema may yet be our salvation.

The more I reflect on THE BRUTALIST, the more it feels increasingly shallow, signaling its intent at every turn. Watching it, I could sense Corbet wrestling with his own film, working against it, contorting it to forcefully inject his themes.

I'M STILL HERE, with Fernanda Torres in full command, is at times riveting and occasionally too straightforward/restrained in its depiction of political oppression. The film truly shines when it anchors itself in a specific time/place, but stumbles when it begins to rely too heavily on time jumps.

Very happy that A PLACE ON THE EDGE OF BREATH, a short documentary I had the privilege of editing, is now streaming on the Criterion Channel. Huge thanks to Ava Fiadh and Shaawan Francis for sharing their powerful story, and to Veronica Rutledge for capturing their relationship with such tenderness.
