GWYNETH PALTROW in Marty Supreme unleashes a voracious elegance and magnificent precision. Her comeback doesn't just convince — it hypnotizes with feline subtlety.

CHASE INFINITI will be campaigned in Lead Actress, and that’s wonderful. My review for her performance in ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER.

Imogen Poots channels a haunting echo of Kristen Stewart: that penetrating gaze, sharp features, and rebellious indie aura turn them into ethereal doubles, as if cinema had fused them into the same wild spirit. #TheChronologyOfWater

Emma Stone at the 2025 London Film Festival. Unquestionably stunning, as always.

Bradley Cooper’s IS THIS THING ON? masterfully directs a symphony of sharp laughter and marital truths with comic genius. Will Arnett and Laura Dern, a divorced duo with inevitable sparks, distill the dark humor of adult life into pure gold. A cathartic film. #NYFF63

My review of Chloé Zhao’s HAMNET starring Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley. It is undoubtedly one of the films of the year. #LFF

The sixth episode of TASK breaks your heart and gets your pulse racing. Brad Ingelsby has written a script with an astonishing balance.

My review of ETERNITY starring Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller and Callum Turner. In theaters this Thanksgiving. 🦃

BLACK PHONE 2 isn’t just a sequel, but a punk requiem for childhood traumas, where Scott Derrickson distills eighties horror into an alchemy of memorable scares and themes that sting like fresh scars. With a more cunning The Grabber. An encore that terrifies with elegance!

Kristen Stewart at the London Film Festival 2025. A sensationally brutal director. #TheChronologyOfWater

My review of Lynne Ramsay’s DIE, MY LOVE starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson. #LFF

The finale of TASK elegantly distills the echoes of redemption and guilt that define its criminal pulse, closing arcs with a restraint that favors the emotional whisper over the clamor. Mark Ruffalo is unforgettable.

Just learning (or maybe it was information that got lost in my brain over the decades since) that Leonardo DiCaprio told the “Lenny Williams” story to Letterman years ago. He also talked about getting booted from Romper Room.

On the occasion of the premiere of Del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN in NYC, here is my review from Venice.

My review of Mia Goth’s performance in FRANKENSTEIN.

On the occasion of the premiere of Yorgos Lanthimos’ BUGONIA in NY, here is my review from Venice.

Emma Stone in BUGONIA turns empathy into a double-edged sword: chained and slathered in white lotion, she devours the screen with a playful ferocity that elevates Lanthimosian absurdity to heights of histrionic genius. She’s extraordinary.
