In this house we have always loved Oliver Coates (who's a very big reason why I think this film is actually very good!)

My Oscars two cents: thrilled for Sinners, thrilled for Train Dreams, thrilled for Wagner bummed for Daniel Lopatin's Marty Supreme score, bummed for Chase Infiniti, bummed for No Other Choice, really really bummed for The Testament of Ann Lee, bemused by the lack of Wicked, enraged by Elio. ty!

Chuffed to have kicked off the year with a long interview with Josh Safdie—focusing on four films that absolutely rocked my world last week!

Have you ever dressed up for a Rocky Horror Picture Show screening? Do you throw rice and toast and water at your loved ones every year? Do you think about what Glee did to our heroes? I would ❤️ to talk to you for a fun story for @letterboxd.social, my DMs are open!

Spent some time sifting through beautiful Letterboxd reviews of the great Robert Redford's films—learned a lot, added loads to my own watchlist, fell so hard for The Way We Were, at long last. A titan.

So thrilled this happened—a few years on a music newsdesk and precisely one (1) minute in the pit at Outbreak leading up to this. Read all about it!

Back with another starter pack to celebrate the release of Twinless, this time asking a very important question. Note "compelling", not "best ever". Except for ROTK. I love writing these! boxd.it/2HY

I thought THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE was low-key spectacular. Found the music, choreography and aesthetic construction so moving, and love to see Amanda Seyfried being able to give her all again. A religious musical that feels timeless to me? Insane. Always loved Mona Fastvold’s directorial eye.

This Ridley Scott interview from @ellakemp.bsky.social is one of my favorite things we’ve published this year. A wide-ranging convo with so many incredible gems from the legend.

Had the privilege and genuine joy of sitting down with Ridley Scott for a big career-spanning chat ahead of his BFI season: deep cuts only. boxd.it/2Hk
