«The Mastermind» es una película francamente curiosa. No sabría decir si me ha gustado, y sin duda frustrará a la mayoría, pero valoro la originalidad de su tono y de su estilo. El cine de Kelly Reichardt siempre tiene interés. Y el protagonista está hecho a medida de Josh O'Connor.

I just saw Raoul Peck’s Orwell film, and it’s masterful. It’s good for clarifying where we really are in terms of fascism and totalitarianism. Orwell: 2+2=5.

#TinsmanRoad: There’s nothing more terrifying than anguish in this found footage gem, more interested in its haunting tapestry of sorrow and longing than it is in short-lived scares. My review via @wehotimes.bsky.social: wehotimes.com/tinsman-road...

Saw Lesbian Space Princess yesterday and had a blast! Surprise, surprise I connected with the artist <33 The movie should be airing in the US tomorrow so go check it out if it’s playing near you! #lesbianspaceprincess #art #hobonichi

Surveillance and propaganda reign supreme in the fictional world of “1984”—for which generations have found real-life parallels, again and again. The new film “Orwell: 2+2=5” argues that noting such similarities isn’t enough, writes Shirley Li:

i’m getting the sense the distributors have decided to make it impossible to view An Officer and a Spy.

BATTLE ROYALE is in theaters this month? I'm tempted to get tickets.

Lucile Hadžihalilović's fourth feature, The Ice Tower, is now playing some US cities, but not Seattle (I don't recall an opening for Earwig either, which I caught up with via screener). In some ways, the new work plays like a sequel or companion to Innocence, her first. @seattlecritics.bsky.social

Ugh. Local indie theater is showing something called The Pee Pee Poo Poo Man in two weeks. This sounds terrible but the bizarre movie siren call is too strong for me to resist.

Color me dazzled by Lucile Hadžihalilović's THE ICE TOWER, an unsettling hall-of-mirrors meditation on enchantment in the blinding lights of idolatry, cinema, and fantasy. One of the most dreamily arresting films you will see this year. My four-star review for @ebertvoices.bsky.social:

I quite enjoyed found footage flick WHAT HAPPENED TO DOROTHY BELL?, out of Fantastic Fest. Creepy with plenty of really good scares. My review! bsidesbadlands.com/what-happene...

New review up on Boys Go to Jupiter, a delightful little CG movie that could about the absurdities of the gig economy that’s a breath of fresh air during a period of stagnation in big budget animation.

Go see THE BALTIMORONS while it's still in theaters. Add it to the genre of films set in one location over a 24-hour period. It's set at Christmas, but that doesn't make it a Christmas movie. Maybe it will come out on streaming around Christmas. 📽️ #FilmSky
