that's twice in three weeks I've seen trailers for high profile movies, not out 3-4 months, advertised on TNT Sports during the football...

no one has talked about how Jared Harris just yeets himself off the Pentagon

honest question - are Trojans renowned for their work ethic? I thought they were more famed for their ability to be duped by hollowed-out farmyard statues

Love+War - a documentary about conflict photographer Lynsey Addario - is also out in the UK today and I quite liked it.

“Hugo? Who’s he?”

apart from omitting the only ‘kids film’ Marty ever made, this is an amazing and enthralling five part documentary on the king of modern cinema

I want to rewatch his whole filmography now

Daniel Day-Lewis's 'comeback film' Anemone is not out in UK cinemas until November 7

here's my 41-movie #LFF ranking - I caught Die My Love before the festival at an advance screening

(rankings are a stupid way of judging art etc etc)

I liked Lurker! Fairly familiar ground but has a nice 2025 edge. A bit All About Eve, a bit Baby Reindeer and, oddly, a bit Phantom Thread.

should have been a shorter summer! I found this a chore really. Demands a lot of the audience and maybe I just didn’t have the patience. Some striking imagery and a bit of a whiff of The Zone of Interest about it.

fucked up movie about a fucked up life that leans into some filmmaking cliches regarding memoir adaptation BUT I really liked it - best performance of Imogen Poots’s career as well

just picking up this thread to say Bugonia is sad and stupid and I didn’t really like it #LFF

Third movie #LFF

pretty pretty funny and pretty fucked up

nice and dark humour

Second film of #LFF

liked this a lot but the ending montage felt a bit tacked-on

it does have that Sean Baker energy though

First film of #LFF

An intriguing movie with interesting ideas and a strong central performance ultimately doesn’t quite know how to resolve itself or what it’s saying

second watch and still one of my favourite pure blind buys

a life-affirming documentary of fascinating vignettes into humanity and inhumanity and the weirdness of the world

second viewing in 48 hours lol

rewatching Citizen Kane again and it's remarkable how Kane, despite being unfathomably rich, makes it clear in his first scene that he wants to improve the lives of his readers, no matter the cost to his personal wealth

feels incredibly naive/optimistic in 2025
