15 years ago today, Andrew Rossi's 'Page One: Inside the New York Times' -- featuring a scene-stealing David Carr -- premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Here's our review of the film from that event:

āThis film almost killed me, & itās still killing me because Iām trying to get people to pay attention, & itās very difficult.ā - Marcie Hume on her Cory Feldman doc. (If I had $1 for every documentarian who says that, I could make 5 more films! But Iāll watch.)

We don't helm advocacy docs (or films funded by
@hbo.bsky.social
or
@discoveryus.bsky.social
), so commercial work has been a way to make enough $ to make documentaries with creative freedom. That work has died with the LA production blues. The last scraps are being murdered by AI. Heartbreaking.

Disagree with this review, but highly recommend this film. I found that the filmmakers let corporate interests sink their own battleship in the best way.

Critics Choice Awards Analysis: Are āOne Battle,ā Jacob Elordi and Amy Madigan Wins Reliable Oscar Bellwethers?
A lot of attention is being paid to the results of Sunday eveningās Critics Choice Awards, from which I have just returned home. Among the most notable: One Battle After Another was recognized with best picture, best director (Paul Thomas Anderson) and best adapted screenplay (Anderson) prizes, while Marty Supremeās TimothĆ©e Chalamet won best actor and Hamnetās Jessie Buckley won best actress and, in outcomes that were less widely predicted, best supporting actor went to Frankensteinās Jacob Elordi and best supporting actress went to Weaponsā Amy Madigan.
