Very keen on The Cord, a film that gives an insight into the ongoing disaster of the Venezuelan healthcare system and introduces us to exactly the kind of badass character you would want on your side in times of medical emergency. www.screendaily.com/reviews/the-...

How to describe I Heard That They Are Not Going To See Each Other Anymore? A wild, uninhibited blend that has traces of Godard, Wong Kar Wai, Hou Hsiao-hsien plus Zoomer tik tok stunts and situationist provocations. Crazy, messy, rather special. www.screendaily.com/reviews/i-he...

In competition in CPH:DOX: Whispers In May is just lovely. A sensitive, perceptive account of the moment right at the very end of childhood. www.screendaily.com/reviews/whis...

A few favourites from CPH:DOX: Amazomania is a deft interrogation of documentary ethics. Loved this smart, provocative film. www.screendaily.com/reviews/amaz...

Just landed in rainy Copenhagen for five days of documentaries at CPH:DOX. One of my favourite film festivals. Stay tuned for some reviews.

Another highlight in Berlin's competition, Emin Alper's tale of a Turkish blood feud, Salvation. www.screendaily.com/reviews/salv...

My review of Rose: My favourite so far from Berlin's competition, and further proof that Sandra Hüller is one of the finest actors currently working. www.screendaily.com/reviews/rose...

First of my Berlin reviews. Very impressed by Mouse, from the team behind Saint Frances www.screendaily.com/reviews/mous...

I know we use the description “worst movie ever made’ in a fairly profligate manner but I just watched Take me High, the 1973 film that finished Cliff Richard’s acting career. And holy shit, it’s bad.

Do you have thoughts on culture and a way with words? Why not enter the Anthony Burgess Prize for Arts Journalism

Heading to Tromso today for the film festival. Thermals packed. Hoping for great cinema and - just maybe - a glimpse of aurora borealis.

Hamnet is an earthy, grounded tale of grief. Jessie Buckley is a force of nature as Shakespeare’s witchy wife in an adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s novel about the tragedy that inspired Hamlet. Read @wendyide.bsky.social's review now: https://bit.ly/3Z3tJfk

First time watch tonight: Straight Time (1978) starring a never better Dustin Hoffman as a recently released ex-con. How have I never seen this before? It’s phenomenal.

Big thanks to Mubi for a New Year celebration kit, to promote Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s series The New Years. I’m a huge fan of Sorogoyen’s terrific drama The Beasts, so this is top of my watch list.

So proud to send my kid off to an early Halloween party in a Babadook costume. I feel that this is a film education win all round.

Also out this week - me on Friendship, Smurfs, Gold Songs and Four Letters of Love observer.co.uk/culture/film...

Not for everyone, certainly, but I am a fan of Athina Rachel Tsangari's Harvest, a heady, muddy story of the end of a community observer.co.uk/culture/film...

Gutted to read this. www.screendaily.com/news/frantie...

Camille Cottin and top tier child actors are the main reason to watch Out of Love www.screendaily.com/reviews/out-...

A few Karlovy Vary reviews: Paul Andrew Williams is back with Dragonfly, which takes a huge tonal swerve in the final act. Riseborough and Blethyn superb. I liked quite a bit. www.screendaily.com/reviews/drag...

So delighted to be back in Karlovy Vary this year, for one of my favourites on the festival circuit, for its buzzy atmosphere, great programming and enthusiastic embrace of street drinking,

Me on the turbo-charged midlife crisis that is F1: The Movie in The Observer observer.co.uk/culture/film...

Me on Ocean With David Attenborough: Late to this, but what an important, impassioned film. Essential viewing observer.co.uk/culture/film...

Me on the rather joyless Ballerina for oberver.co.uk observer.co.uk/culture/film...

Travelling via Geneva today I walked past a shop selling a chair made of stuff toy flamingos for something like 10 grand, and I feel like humanity may have crossed a significant taste rubicon.

Hard recommendation for the gorgeous The Ballad of Wallis Island, a lovely, bittersweet cardigan-clad treasure of a film. observer.co.uk/culture/film...

Me on Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning and the libido-shrivelling anti-frisson between Tom Cruise and his female co-stars. In The Observer observer.co.uk/culture/film...

If Jafar Panahi's unflinching and brave attack on the Iranian regime doesn't win at least something, I will eat my shoes. www.screendaily.com/reviews/it-w...

Another Cannes highlight for me: The Secret Agent is terrific. www.screendaily.com/reviews/the-...

Another Cannes review: Chie Hayakawa’s Renoir is an intriguing, fractured exploration of grief from the perspective of a child. www.screendaily.com/reviews/reno...

This is not a drill. My Father’s Shadow is a knock out debut from Akinola Davies Jr, starring Sope Dirisu. One of the best of Cannes so far. www.screendaily.com/reviews/my-f...

Another Cannes review: Miroirs No 3 is small scale Petzold, but it’s a beguiling, unexpectedly uplifting study of trauma and healing. www.screendaily.com/reviews/mirr...

More from Cannes: Harris Dickinson has the goods as a director; Frank Dillane is a knockout as the lead of Urchin www.screendaily.com/reviews/urch...

My @observer review of India Donaldson’s impressive debut, Good One, in cinemas now. observer.co.uk/culture/film...

Latest Cannes review: The Little Sister is a too thin to thin to make an impact in the main competition. www.screendaily.com/reviews/the-...

Oh, the embargo is up so I can say that I hated Ari Aster’s Eddington. A snide, small-minded and intellectually meagre offering, stretched out to interminable length.

Sirat. Holy shit. Oliver Laxe is not playing.

Quick reminder to people in Cannes: if you cut in front of me in a queue, I will simmer silently and nurse a deep and furious grudge against you until the end of time.

My review of Sound of Falling, in Cannes competition. A substantial, consequential work by a visionary director. Mascha Schilinski is a formidable talent. www.screendaily.com/reviews/soun...

My first Cannes review is of the very French opening film, Leave One Day www.screendaily.com/reviews/leav...
