Duvall - acting legend, but also top director. The Apostle - amazing, but also this little-seen masterpiece

Instead of reading the Epstein files and freaking yourself out you could read my lates for @lwlies.com on how sexual assault cinema is going beyond graphic depictions to detail the lives of those impacted by sexual violence. lwlies.com/this-just-in...

Don’t let the excitement of the ritzy feature premieres fool you – Sundance’s brightest gems can be found in their excellent shorts programming.

Hey new Wuthering Heights – Claire Denis did erotic dough kneading 30 years ago, and better! www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXUy...

I just think this goes so hard in so many ways…

this take is hotter than the film tbh

some thoughts on wuthering heights lwlies.com/reviews/wuth...

I wrote about Gus Van Sant, the new queer cinema, and the stalking of immigrants for @lwlies.com lwlies.com/in-praise-of...

Elite podcast, incredible run… Kept me sane during covid, and I still love to scroll through past episode subjects for book token inspo.

@daveyjenkins.bsky.social joined me to discuss one of the greatest television single plays ever made: Alan Clarke’s Road.

when a very sweet blu-ray booklet commission drops....

Didn't realise this was remake of Bobcat Goldthwait’s Sleeping Dogs Lie.

100 Nights of Hero unfolds at breakneck speed, with never a dull moment. Julia Jackman deftly interweaves her multiple narrative threads and indulges (complimentary) in woozy, dreamlike montages of image and sound, writes @lauravenning.bsky.social Review: lwlies.com/reviews/100-...

Worth seeking out Jacques Rivette’s amazing adaptation of Wuthering Heights, a film that achieves its rhapsodic effect with the aid of many tracks from this incredible album of Bulgarian folk choir music.

My review of Is This Thing On? lwlies.com/reviews/is-t... @lwlies.com Out now in cinemas.

Was surprised to see this on my way to work this morning…

Isn’t he supposed to be a hardcore environmentalist? Does he… know?

i haven't done this since twitter but at the request of 1 (one) person, OSCAR NOMINEES AS SIMPSONS SCREENCAPS THREAD

Most people I know live a variation of this life but don't have the comfort (and lack of interpersonal skills) to routinise it to this degree. And actually, having myriad domestic responsibilities that don't come immaculately timetabled is the REAL grindset...

There are not many good, thoughtful, well-written, live-action family movies made these days, but Kate Woods’ Kangaroo definitely is one. Hard recommend. lwlies.com/reviews/kang...

What if Bourne… as a warmed-over TV movie? lwlies.com/reviews/shel...

This would definitely appear in the opening drag to a post-apocalyptic sci-fi B-movie, just before it hard cuts to a robot crushing a human skull.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Come over babe, new Leni Riefenstahl dropping…

Hard to stress how much this film rules

This reminds me of the moment just before Jared Leto gets his arm chopped off in Requiem for a Dream.

Thrilled to have been given a forum in which to wax extremely lyrical about Alan Clarke’s 1987 masterpiece, Road. rss.com/podcasts/lis...

Feels like buck being passed here for a general narrowing of cinema programming and unwillingness to look beyond mainstream titles for slots. Relative to the amount of films being made now, it's highly unlikely there are more 3hr films. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ja...

Found this on The Internet

Remember an old colleague had a glitch on his work computer where his internet explorer homepage was locked to Danny Aiello’s imdb profile.

Looks like my enemy (Ruben Östlund) has a new film out in 2026.

Bought this over Xmas with some book tokens and absolutely loving it. Could also be called That Canonical Author You Love Was A C**t. John Carey has the receipts!!

This was way ahead of its time.

I wept during the film and I wept during the interview… "It's fine, it's happening quite a lot…" said the publicist as I left the room.

Oh no am hearing that Béla Tarr has died… Though no official announcement.

My daughter genuinely loved the Poochie episode of Itchy & Scratchy.
