With summer movie season approaching, you could use a reliable guide to and through the best, worst, and most fascinating new films. Luckily, as senior film critic @salon.com—where I cover film and its role in the broader human experience—I’ve got you more than covered. Lemme tell ya why! (1/5)

A thing we're launching at @salon.com is a weekly art-over-algorithm newsletter on culture and entertainment that isn't decoding the latest trends but rather looking closely at stuff that's (hopefully) built to last. It's called The Swell, it's free, and it starts next week. www.salon.com/newsletter

ok hey bluesky i regularly forget about this app honestly but i’ll try to use it more for holiday film coverage and takes (of the smart, thoughtful, and sharp kind, of course). marty supreme tonight, which means us gwyneth gals are rising up

ahead of opening night at #nyff, i wrote about ‘after the hunt,’ a mercurial and cruel provocation that tests its audience’s wits and questions the modern desire to define heroes from villains in a ceaseless search for answers. i absolutely loved it. www.salon.com/2025/09/25/a...

On this note, I absolutely endorse this @salon.com review of the now Emmy-winning Adolescence by @colemanjspilde.bsky.social www.salon.com/2025/03/18/a...

"Escola didn’t catch up to the culture; the culture caught up to them. Their win and ongoing success are fate manifested, a testament to the power of hard work and uncompromising vision. Sometimes, the right things still happen." Read the story by @colemanjspilde.bsky.social ⬇️

Chloë Sevigny and Lily McInerny star in "Bonjour Tristesse," a lush, haunting remake from Durga Chew-Bose. In an interview with Salon's @colemanjspilde.bsky.social, the stars open up about fleeting beauty, aging, creativity and the ache of feelings we can’t quite name. www.salon.com/2025/05/02/i...

david cronenberg has a very singular, special way of addressing the humor in our mortality and the deeply ironic pain of living and losing. wrestled with that for my review of ‘the shrouds,’ his prickly, agonizing, and hilarious latest. www.salon.com/2025/04/19/w...

Salon's @colemanjspilde.bsky.social praises Lady Gaga's Coachella performance: "A striking vision like Gaga’s is critical in proving that beauty is not lost; it’s just harder to find, and her Coachella masterpiece makes our world all the more beautiful just by existing."

nurse, he’s out! ahead of coachella weekend two, i wrote 2440 words on lady gaga’s “the art of personal chaos,” a magnificent live spectacle where the superstar reminds us beauty is not lost, just harder to find. www.salon.com/2025/04/16/l...

should i try to get back on here. i’m trying to get back on here. i’m also trying to get off social monday to friday. girl i’m trying to go full 2004 i want two hours of screen time a day and to only use it to play cartoon network dot com games

Really lovely tribute to Val Kilmer here from @colemanjspilde.bsky.social www.salon.com/2025/04/02/v...

it’s almost like journalism has long since been overtaken by a media industry centering the perspectives of the establishment as the default for ‘neutrality’ & any deviation from that ruse gets you fired & shunned. even if you do speak up you can only go so far within their ‘decorum’ boundaries.

scraped my soul to write about david lynch’s radically empathetic filmmaking by examining my favorite recurring image in his work: the long road in the dead of night. would mean a lot to me if you read it. i’m so grateful to have the platform to share it. www.salon.com/2025/01/25/d...

i have been horribly neglectful of this platform which i hope to change in 2025. but first, here’s jlo’s brilliant mind singing a mashup of auld lang syne and live it up.

personal news! next week i’m joining the culture team @salonnewsroom.bsky.social as a senior staff writer, where i’ll be tightening the scope of my criticism and analysis to film. i’m so grateful and even more excited to keep writing with empathy and wit about my favorite art form in the world.

is bluesky a place that will be responsive to my latest crush aka this guy i saw hosting an hgtv show my boyfriend’s mom was watching

had a productive meeting and filed a review (assuming everyone has already marked their calendars for monday when i announce news) and though those both brought me great joy, nothing can compare to taking in the latest lindsay lohan holiday “spectacular” on the couch with a beloved friend

every day proud to have been born and raised in the greatest city on earth

‘wicked’ has its shortcomings (that consistently baffling lighting design!) but entertainment value isn’t one of them. it’s a bewitching, timely holiday movie spectacle, made with plucky earnestness that’ll charm fans and newcomers alike. my review for salon: www.salon.com/2024/11/19/w...

wearing this to the premiere of my latest review which you can read oh so soon

one of my biggest hopes rn is that we get a feature-length doc that follows charli from the conception of brat up to its release and through the phenomenon of the next six months. preferably intercut with sweat tour footage/backstage clips. could be on par with ‘truth or dare’ no not kidding

this benefits me in ways you can’t imagine

autumn morning color yaaaayyy

enjoying both the rhyme and the reality of being a bluesky reply guy

one of these lookalike competitions needs to take place at a career fair damn

hearing this in ‘just my luck’ when i was 11 rerouted my entire life i was like oh my god music should be able to make your soul feel like it’s touching heaven music.apple.com/us/album/onl...

went to the store for a lemon and got light eggnog, a celsius, and meatless ground beef but no lemon……..

was just laying around so i did a foley work edit of a gaga tiktok because i wanted to use it as a reaction vid

me sitting in the big red chair that reverses the spell that turned me from a hen into a human

not entirely sure what the vibe of this instagram dump is gonna be

dana scully:

when Bright Sun Travels drops a new hotel review on YouTube I sit my problematic ass down and LISTEN

me in blue’s clues when my body doesn’t shrink in time and i get stuck jumping into a storybook

little preview review of ‘the last showgirl.’ you’ll be able to read me expand in full over the coming weeks, but here’s a taste of one of my favorites of 2024, which you should seek out in any way possible. boxd.it/7OLPKf

me and the influx of people i don’t know following me here who may one day become my dearest acquaintances

i really enjoyed wicked and was straight up crying with chills down my whole body the last fifteen minutes but……..phantom of the opera is still the coleman movie musical to beat. it will be vindicated in my lifetime know THAT

getting j-j-j-jacked up on caffeine and rewatching rhony season seven for the millionth time while connor works from home with me ohhh little BLISS!

when i lose my dvd box set of my favorite hbo show at a hot dog eating content

if you can only post 60-second long vids here someone should take one for the team and clip the tokyo toni enterprises video into bite-size clips. perhaps it’s my duty

remember in the nascent days of hawk tuah when she wasn’t the american ambassador to denmark and people were like “you’ll never guess what ‘hawk tuah’ means!” and it was like…yeah i will? it’s called phonetics and having been a sixth grader at recess at one point in my life

the fact that we must constantly be submitting to the knowledge that there is no telling what tomorrow will bring

not gonna lie it’s kinda blissful here

hey guys it’s me maggie gyllenhaal, star of acclaimed films like SHERRYBABY, STRANGER THAN FICTION, and one of christopher nolan’s BATMEN. so excited to get in on the ground floor of this amazing app. i’d love to connect with all of my #Gyllenheads
