Oh my God! McCarthy's rabbit dress is the best thing since Björk wore a swan! #Oscars

Biggest surprise, and most welcome one.

The 2 epic #Oscar upsets are Olivia Colman (YAY!) winning Best Actress and Green Book winning Best Picture (really???)—which also produced respectively the most inspired and crass acceptance speeches of the night. The Academy was on a historic roll then shot itself in the foot

Despite Brie Larsen, strenuous damning-with-faint-praise by my Toronto Film Critics 🍿 comrades won't persuade me to see #CaptainMarvel But Jafar Panahi's shape-shifting #3Faces sits well 9 months after I saw it Festival de Cannes. Keen to see Charles officer's #LittlePrince Hot Docs Cinema tonight!

RIP Agnès Varda, 90, a filmmaker of boundless energy, vision and wonder, the woman who put the verve in the New Wave. Celebrate her today watching Cléo from 5 to 7, Faces Places or any of her timeless films.

Cinema loses a giant, who gave us brilliant work right down to the wire

It’s spring, which means that it’s suddenly raining Canadian movies—four of them open today, offering some smart alternatives to Beach Bum and Dumbo.

A clip from Varda by Agnès, the last film of #AgnesVarda, which screened just yesterday 香港國際電影節協會 HKIFFS. Hope we get to see it here soon. RIP Agnès Varda. youtube.com/watch?time_con…

As a friend & colleague of @ronmann, I'm can't review #CarmineStreetGuitars—received warmly here by my Toronto Film Critics 🍿 comrades—but I gotta say I loved it both times I saw it. Like the guitar shop, the film is a great place to be. There's the Spike Lee Joint; this is the Ron Mann Groove.

Talk about a departure. A zombie film will open #Cannes2019! Jim Jarmusch directs indie dream team—Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Steve Buschemi, Iggy Pop, RZA, Adam Driver, Chloë Sevigny, Danny Glover, Rosie Perez, Selena Gomez, Sara Driver, Tom Waits...I'll be there for Maclean’s Magazine

Who needs Rotten Tomatoes 🍅? The Toronto Film Critics 🍿's special forces are in the trenches, forging their own algorithm with reviews of 14 new releases this week. Aretha's 47-year-old revelation soars above the fray as the unanimous standout.

Laurie Lynd has made a vital, extraordinary film that demolishes the Patient Zero myth and redeems the Quebec flight attendant cast as the arch villain of the #AIDS epidemic. "Patient Zero and the Making of the AIDS Epidemic" premieres Apr. 26 @hotdocs macleans.ca/culture/movies…

Woke up today to find my Twitter hacked. Suddenly I was selling crypto currency. Never had so many comments—an underworld infestation! I don't use my account much these days and was tempted to let them keep it. But I purged the aliens. I'm clean—in time to tweet Festival de Cannes

Midnight #Cannes. It’s #Madame Tussaud’s gone goth as #model zombies (#zombie models?) flank the entrée to the rooftop party for #TheDeadDon’tDie. Jim Jarmusch’s opening night film is a… instagram.com/p/Bxdoc2NgM-8/…

A thrill to be in #Cannes2019 and see @ronmann announce my next film: THE COLOUR OF INK, a doc feature produced by Sphinx Productions and National Film Board of Canada, involving inkmaker Jason S. Logan, with Director of Photography Nicholas De Pencier (#Anthoprocene) screendaily.com/news/sphinx-pr…
