This is disappointing and even a touch hypocritical coming from the man behind INSIDE OUT. Pete Docter's willingness to bend over backwards to online bullying and far-right activism disgraces his legacy as an artist.

With the #Oscars broadcasting this weekend, here's a quick look at #TheSecretAgent which, in spite of its strong individual qualities, I ultimately found a bit hollow. letterboxd.com/thomasricard19…

Yesterday was #internationalwomensday so it's fitting that the #Oscars nominee Deanna & I watched was #IfIHadLegsIdKickYou, Mary Bronstein's uncompromising, occasionally clumsy but always compelling look at the dark side of motherhood: letterboxd.com/thomasricard19…

With just a few days left before the #Oscars, a necessarily brief word on the emotional brilliance of #sentimentalvalue and how its compassion moved me. letterboxd.com/thomasricard19…

Ahead of #Oscars weekend, a necessarily brief look at the modest pleasures of #SongSungBlue. letterboxd.com/thomasricard19…

With the #Oscars scheduled for tomorrow, I conclude my review of selected nominees with an in-depth look at the beauty of last #bestpicture nominee #Hamnet and the limits of Chloé Zhao's approach that keep it from greatness. letterboxd.com/thomasricard19…

This is wrong. Just wrong. On every level. I don't care if his family approves, this is setting a terrible precedent. There's no telling where this could go next, with actors that have been dead for even longer.

Back to reviewing 2022 films, with a very quick paragraph on how #sickofmyself's understanding of the inherent loneliness of narcissism makes it work even if it only fulfills part of its promise. letterboxd.com/thomasricard19…

Jamie Dornan is hosting #SNLuk tonight, which signals my cue to drop “Edgar’s Prayer” onto the timeline. Nobody else could’ve sold the insanity, ludicrousness and absurdity of BARB AND STAR GO TO VISTA DEL MAR like he did.

Kill it with fire! Do it now before it breaks containment

#DreamScenario doesn't completely follow through on the promise of rich psychosocial satire inherent to its core ideas, but Kristoffer Borgli and Nicolas Cage's harmonious collaboration makes it an exhilarating experience nonetheless. letterboxd.com/thomasricard19…

Absolutely disgusting behaviour from the far right Muslim Sisters of Eire are on Oconnell street every week feeding the needy and homeless. To have to endure vile abuse is so so wrong. Glad the homeless they were helping stepped in to help them.

A studio executive who gets it - at least as far as that's concerned.

IDGAF if the family is ok with it…We shouldn’t be doing this. Period.

you need to understand that a-list agents/managers are putting these ppl in rooms with reps from ai companies so they can ink deals. they aren't living in reality, they only know the sales pitch. take this as seriously as when they were all gung ho about NFTs. it's not inevitable

Reposez en paix, madame. #NathalieBaye
