"Die My Love" is an electric portrait of feminine rage, sorrow, and mania that's energized by the finest performance of Jennifer Lawrence's career.

I wrote about Springsteen, Shakespeare, and the right (and wrong) way to illustrate the mystery of creation.

Today, we’re proud to announce the newest member of the New York Film Critics Circle: Ryan Lattanzio of IndieWire. Congratulations and welcome! The #NYFCC will vote on its awards for 2025’s best achievements in film on Tuesday, December 2.

One of the signature actresses of her or any era, and a woman who paved a path most Hollywood actresses -haven't- followed: dressing to express joy and a sense of self. On Diane Keaton: time.com/7325208/dian...

The headline slightly overstates the case--I neither know whether Bugonia will get Oscar noms, nor did I *totally* hate it--but yeah, Yorgos Lanthimos' claustrophobic black comedy about a low-wage worker who kidnaps & tortures his Big Pharma boss was definitely not my bag. slate.com/culture/2025...

I really liked It Ends With Us. I did not like Regretting You one bit. Here’s a review:

We join our colleagues in @lafilmcritics.bsky.social and @nsfc.bsky.social in condemning the actions taken by Nexstar and Disney-ABC to pull "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" off the air.

We join our colleagues in @lafilmcritics.bsky.social, @nsfc.bsky.social‬, and @bsfc.bsky.social in condemning the attack on NO OTHER LAND co-director Hamdan Ballal.

I wish I never had to write this piece. On the late great David Lynch, a filmmaker who taught me how to look directly into the darkness. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

He made strange things feel normal and normal things feel strange. We were so lucky to have him. time.com/7207633/davi...

Wrote about my favorite performance of the past year, and why what Marianne Jean-Baptiste does in HARD TRUTHS really feels like it's in a league of its own www.vulture.com/article/give...

I have named the best movies of this accursed year. Read, please! https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/best-movies-2024

I adored NOSFERATU, Robert Eggers's best film. My review for Fangoria is here: www.fangoria.com/robert-egger...

loved Nosferatu. Lily-Rose Depp is a total revelation. my review: www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...

I wrote a little thing for the @nytimes.com's T Magazine about a spate of recent film performances by women who speak very little--not because their voices are being repressed, but because silence is their own particular way of wielding power. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/25/t...

My book DAVID CRONENBERG: CLINICAL TRIALS, a biography and critical retrospective of his work, is available for preorder on Bookshop and Amazon! Oh yeah—Viggo wrote the intro (and it’s so fucking good). bookshop.org/p/books/davi... www.amazon.com/David-Cronen...

Sometimes, all it takes is just one extraordinary screen actor, giving a performance that somehow simultaneously grounds *and* lifts a production up to higher ground... Not to damn the rest of WICKED with faint praise, but jfc, what Cynthia Erivo does here... www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Since this place is picking up, a good time to reshare one of my proudest projects as a film journalist, one I worked on all summer. To remember Robin Williams on the 10-year anniversary of his passing, I spoke to more than 20 of his collaborators & friends. Rest in peace, you beautiful soul.

I spoke with the one and only Billy Bob Thornton about beer, wine, music, oil, Taylor Sheridan and his new series, "Landman."

The big-screen adaptation of Wicked could have gone wrong in so many ways, but it sidesteps nearly every one of them with nimble direction, gorgeous production design, & a heartstopping lead performance from Cynthia Erivo (& a charming if imperfect one from Ariana Grande): slate.com/culture/2024...

Hello! I am the Bluesky account for the New York Film Critics Circle. (You have to take my word for it, I have no way of proving it to you, other than to say that we are all fueled by Richard Brody's luscious beard.) Follow us here, especially as our big voting day is on Tues, Dec. 3
