BLUE HERON from debut filmmaker Sophy Romvari: “But this isn’t just a family drama. Romvari layers memory, fiction, documentary, and meta-cinema together, creating something that feels closer to time travel than storytelling.” Review from Billie Anderson @billieanderson.bsky.social out of #TIFF50

Lived in Toronto for over 6 years time to do something about this I guess

"It is here, in the intersection of gothic spectacle, moral inquiry, and deep psychological insight, that Del Toro proves why he is unmatched as a chronicler of monsters." Billie Anderson @billieanderson.bsky.social reviews FRANKENSTEIN, the latest from director Guillermo Del Toro.

MJ's @billieanderson.bsky.social thinks IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT is necessary viewing. #ItWasJustAnAccident is in theaters Friday.

MJ's @billieanderson.bsky.social says, "We’re lucky to live in a world where DEAD LOVER exists—a film disgusting, hilarious, heartfelt, and entirely itself." #DeadLover premiered at #TIFF2025 and will screen @brooklynhorror.bsky.social October 18.

MJ's @billieanderson.bsky.social says, "I walked out of THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE dazed or shaky in a way I usually only feel after leaving a long concert where the sound has reverberated through my chest." #TheTestamentOfAnnLee plays at #BFIFilmFest tomorrow, opens in theaters December 25.

“Every gag is a mini miracle of guerrilla filmmaking, a perfect storm of timing, stunts, hidden cameras, and sheer audacity. It’s cinematic anarchy at its finest: hilarious, chaotic, and deliberately crafted.” Billie Anderson @billieanderson.bsky.social reviews NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE.

I loved Frankenstein (2025), but my enjoyment aside, it also does something really important: humanizes the monster. Read about my thoughts here: theconversation.com/in-guillermo...

"TIFF this year was, in a word, weird, and I mean that in the best possible sense." MJ's @billieanderson.bsky.social shares four weird flicks she caught at this year's #TIFF25. #BadApples #Roofman #GoodBoy #FuckMySon

MJ's @billieanderson.bsky.social shares a snapshot of her favorite Canadian films from this year's TIFF. #Tiff2025 #NormalFilm #YouHadToBeThereMovie #HoneyBunch #MileEndKicks

I’ve created a substack! I want to space to think through my more casual movie thoughts (esp. context I’m watching the movies in). Subscribe if you want to know why I watch the ways I watch 🫶 billielanderson.substack.com/p/this-showi...

I’m at TIFF friends! I’ve been too busy to post anything, so here’s a thread of my week so far. #TIFF50

MJ's @billieanderson.bsky.social shares "three buzzy titles" and "two wonderfully weird Canadian" flicks she can't wait to watch at #Tiff2025. Tiff 2025 kicks off September 4 until 14th.

The rumours are true! I’ve successfully defended my PhD and am now and forever Dr. Anderson. I’ve spent the last week sleeping (and have many plans to do more) and am happy to continue my time in the Disability Studied department at King’s in the fall. More soon!

Some good snags at @baystreetvideo.com birthday sale

It's syllabus season! This year, my students in Disability and Popular Culture will be watching Joker (2019), The Fly (1986), Mad Max: Fury Road (2016), and A Different Man (2024) among other great (terrible) movies about disability.

My glowing review of THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS for @moviejawn.com is, like the film, a love letter to the King of comics: www.moviejawn.com/home/2025/7/...

I’m back baby! #TIFF50

Love a Canadian movie. Love how much Canadians love car crashes :)

I guess sometimes you submit the last chapter of your dissertation on a random Tuesday at noon

MJ's @billieanderson.bsky.social says, "APRIL strips away all artifice to confront us with something far more terrifying: reality." #AprilMovie is in theaters Friday.

I wrote about the Death of the author, ambiguity, and Alex Garland’s new movie Warfare for MovieJawn www.moviejawn.com/home/2025/4/...

MJ's @billieanderson.bsky.social says, "A war film that has “no point” isn’t profound—it’s a missed opportunity, or worse, a quiet endorsement of the status quo." #Warfare is now playing in theaters.

I’m a big Grace Glowicki and and Ben Petrie fan, what’s new?

If I don’t see Nirvanna the band the show the movie post haste I will off myself

ICYMI MJ's @billieanderson.bsky.social wrote a lovely feature article about her feelings on THE SHROUDS and THE LIFE OF CHUCK and how they both handle life, death and grief. #TheShrouds is in theaters April and #TheLifeOfChuck is coming soon.

Oscar day, time to rewatch Challengers

I just made a 35 minute compilation video of all my fave Tik tok edits for all the Oscar noms that I will show to my friends before the red carpet on Sunday

Have they checked The Gorge for the Yellowjackets?

I actually think severance is making me crazy. This is how I imagine 17th century philosophers felt. Like I am thinking For Sure.

MJ's @billieanderson.bsky.social shares five movies to add to your 2025 watch list and two available to peep right now! #Tiff2024 #watchmoremovies

Sometimes my sister will text me “tell me why I should see (insert movie name)” and I feel like it’s practice for my dissertation defence

I watched 68 2024 releases (some are actually 2025 releases but I included them anyway). So many more to watch, but here’s my current ranking: boxd.it/tjUGs
