Hafsia Herzi returns behind the camera with the profoundly affecting THE LITTLE SISTER, and positions Nadia Melliti as an actor to watch after the staggering breakout turn that garnered her the Best Actress win at last year's Cannes. My review:

#PrimateMovie rips (literally) -- the nastiest studio horror feature I've seen in ages, inching (very) close to being considered an exploitation film. Biggest compliment it could get. A genuine genre heater. My review: movieswetextedabout.com/primate-revi...

Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne return to the screen with the deeply affecting YOUNG MOTHERS, a portrait of four resilient women who yearn for a more hopeful life away from the harrowing challenges they currently face. My review for @insessionfilm.bsky.social: insessionfilm.com/movie-review...

Cédric Jimenez brings some intriguing ideas to the table with an adaptation of Laurent Gaudé's #Dog51, but this dystopian sci-fi thriller seems more like a grab-bag of interesting stuff than an actual film with meat around the bone. My review:

#BlackPhone2 fucking rules. The kind of sequel that, on paper, shouldn't really work, but actively pulls you into its thrilling Super 8 nightmares with a formal edge over the first installment that quickly made everything *far more* exciting. Surprisingly very funny, too. Give me five more.

Radu Jude filme un long dialogue entre une huissière de justice et son amie dans Kontinental'25, qui dévie de l'état du climat politique de la Roumanie pour parler caca, odeurs et incommodations tout en glissant une vanne sur A perfect day de Wenders. Est-ce que ce ne serait pas ça le "peak cinema"?

All my memories are movies

Are people here or is this another one of those "mass exodus, but not really" phases we've seen far too often? lol

Plus grand album québécois de l'histoire. Rien ne va le battre. Sujet clos. #SergeFiori

[Critique ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐] «F1: The Movie 🎞️» de Joseph Kosinski: un pur spectacle pour les adeptes de course automobile. Le meilleur film de l'année jusqu'à présent selon notre journaliste @maxfromquebec.bsky.social 🏎️ labibleurbaine.com/cinema/f1-th... #bibleurbaine #f1movie #cinema @f1tv.bsky.social

#F1Movie is the year's best film. A leap forward in digital filmmaking through its 155-minute succession of slack-jawed, "How in the fuck did they do that?" moments with a self-reflexive turn from Brad Pitt that immediatly recalls Old Hollywood stars we no longer get. Kosinski is a real talent.

For @insessionfilm.bsky.social I reviewed Danny Boyle's #28YearsLater, a piece of post-digital filmmaking so inventive it must be seen to be believed. It also contains Alex Garland's best script since 2015, even if he can get a bit bizarre at times. Read it here:

For my final interview of the FYC season, I spoke to director Jeremy Saulnier about the making of his best movie, #RebelRidge. Check it out here:

#Cannes2025 opening film LEAVE ONE DAY has finally been released in Quebec, and it's an absolute catastrophe. Bastien Bouillon is, as always, terrific, but the "jukebox musical" aspect of it all was so painful that I considered leaving the cinema when the characters began singing. Awful.

For Awards Radar, I recently spoke to #ThePenguin's Production Designer, Kalina Ivanov, about her work on the show. Full interview here:

28 YEARS LATER joins the "formally daring digital 2025 films" compendium, with Steven Soderbergh's PRESENCE, Jia Zhangke's CAUGHT BY THE TIDES and Joseph Kosinski's F1 (the movie of the year)

Wes Anderson concludes his cycle of self-reflexion with one of his most formally exciting films in THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME. My review:

Anyone who doubted Celine Song will be forced to eat their shoe, because her latest film, MATERIALISTS, is as visually potent as her directorial debut, albeit with *some* narrative inconsistencies this time around. My review:

'Karate Kid: Legends’: A Strange Legacy Sequel Anchored by an Amazing Ben Wang - by @maxfromquebec.bsky.social #moviesky #karatekid #karatekidlegends #movies thecosmiccircus.com/karate-kid-l...

Amazing movie

me when someone tells me the first hour of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING is bad

AWESOME!!!!!

"Have you ever seen blood in the moonlight, Will? It appears quite black."

It would be funny if Twitter just stopped working permanently today and that was that

everytime the Xitter app glitches, I genuinely hope this is the end.

Truly incredible lmao

Nicole Kidman implies the existence of Nicole Adultwoman

I recently had a chance to speak to cinematographer Hillary Fyfe Spera about her work in #DaredevilBornAgain. Check out the full interview below:

#UntilDawn is so bad. Even as a story derived from the game, it possesses a limited understanding of the universe's mythos and replaces this complex world with novel practical scares that grow increasingly tiresome as they're constantly repeated. Thunderously boring.

Well, shit

If you are voting, DO NOT TAKE and POST A PICTURE OF YOUR BALLOT ON SOCIAL MEDIA, especially if you're a candidate. It is ILLEGAL to do so, and you expose yourself to a litany of CRIMINAL charges. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

[Critique ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2] #Sinners de Ryan Coogler: un film de vampires ultra-sanglant mais débordant de créativité. Une distribution impeccable solidifie cette œuvre singulière d'un grand cinéaste 🎬 labibleurbaine.com/cinema/sinne... #bibleurbaine @maxfromquebec.bsky.social @warnerbrospictures.bsky.social

Rebel News is not news.

hey, so THE SHROUDS is incredible, and everyone who gave it a bad review should genuinely be ashamed of themselves. I get it's hard to directly confront your own mortality in the face, but trust me when I say it's good for you to do so. It'll make you enjoy the time you have right now even more.

[Critique ⭐⭐] «Drop» de Christopher Landon qui prend l'affiche dès aujourd'hui: un thriller en chute raide... Au final, il y a bien peu de sensations fortes dans ce manège. Notre critique cinéma @maxfromquebec.bsky.social vous en parle 🍿 labibleurbaine.com/cinema/drop-... #bibleurbaine #cinema

making an apolitical war movie is insane, because all war is political, and all war movies are political

MY GOAT

god, yesterday's episode of Daredevil was so fucking good

i love how most people are going to see Minecraft for the memes and will ironically lead it to the biggest opening of 2025 so far

I'm afraid FREAKY TALES was supremely my shit

I guess a bunch of people didn't like this movie because it wasn't as it was advertised. Another reason to STOP WATCHING TRAILERS.

Still reeling over THE WOMAN IN THE YARD, not only in how Collet-Serra conjures up some of the most evocative, expressionistic imagery I've seen in ages, but in how it visualizes the internal perspective someone has when they no longer wish to live. Danielle Deadwyler is soul-crushing. Major stuff.

What do we do when things don't go according to plan? "Do we wallow in self-pity [...] or do we try to make our dreams happen before it’s too late?" "ALEXANDER AND THE TERRIBLE..." feels like a breath of fresh air! 🤩 Read @maxfromquebec.bsky.social's review! loudandclearreviews.com/alexander-an...
