EDDINGTON rips. Small town America painted as a Bosch hellscape of grievances and identity politics, fuelled by the dissolution of truth. Incredibly ambitious — even more so than BEAU — and ripe for misreading. I hope Ari Aster is braced for the storm ahead.

“Let’s rip off the band aid and watch this f—ing movie.” Now that’s how you intro a film. Kristen Stewart has leveraged every bit of clout to make THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER. The results are uncompromising and stingingly raw. Her image making is beautiful. It won’t be her last.

Today’s EDDINGTON press conference was lively. cnn.com/2025/05/17/ent…

Adored DIE MY LOVE. Jennifer Lawrence and Lynne Ramsay was a dream collab on paper, and their commitment to this story of postpartum depression –frenzied, abrasive, often gut-wrenching – is astonishing. Arguably the actor's best work to date.

About last night. Spike brings Denzel — and the zoot suit — back to Cannes. A shame the acting great couldn’t stick around. #Highest2Lowest cnn.com/2025/05/19/ent…

Team ALPHA over here. A shattering cinematic experience. The genre trappings and allegory are Ducournau’s mode not motive: this is a story about familial love and grief and the gnawing terror of loss — and my god, Golshifteh Farahani and Tahar Rahim are sensational.

A sensational result for Jafar Panahi, who wins the Palme d'Or. Here's my dispatch from the festival: the drama, the deals, the highlights, and notes on the maddening, addictive job of covering the thing. cnn.com/2025/05/24/ent…

A couple of weeks ago I called Wes Anderson for a chat about menswear in his films and in his life. A dream assignment. cnn.com/2025/06/13/sty…

I followed My Father's Shadow to Cannes, where the film planted a flag for Nigerian cinema. More to come, but here's a link to our show, ft. interviews with star Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, director and co-writer Akinola Davies Jr., and producer Funmbi Ogunbanwo. cnn.com/2025/06/30/wor…

Late to the MATERIALISTS discourse, but it's my firm conviction that these two could've fixed all three of those characters.

Watching WEAPONS: Hell no, absolutely not, f—k this, get me out of here. Next day: Great movie, would 100% recommend.

“I don’t need to be known, you know? I like being quiet.” I interviewed Denzel. cnn.com/2025/08/14/ent…

Every new soundbite from Denzel Washington’s HIGHEST 2 LOWEST press tour only furthers my point.
