I also guest hosted Keep It this week! Give it a listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/k...

I profiled Ariana Grande. Here’s a free link! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/m...

Sat down with Colin Farrell: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/m...

I talked to Jesse Plemons about BUGONIA while he’s in Berlin shooting the HUNGER GAMES prequel. Here’s what he said about playing a younger version of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s character in that film: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/m...

I talked to Julia and Luca: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/m...

Why did Daniel Day-Lewis once hang it up to become a cobbler? Because, to hear him tell it, it’s the sort of craft that provides something tangible for all his effort

I scored the only solo print interview Daniel Day-Lewis has given in nearly a decade! And he was candid and thoughtful about every single thing you’d want to know: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/m...

“I’ll perform for love, essentially: Who do you want me to be, what do you want me to be, just to love me?” I profiled Channing Tatum: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/m...

It’ll be one awards show after another when PTA’s latest sweeps the season on its way to the Oscars. The only question is, how many categories can it take?

Are you ready for ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER? I interviewed Leonardo DiCaprio and the rest of the cast about the movie that’s about to knock this year on its side. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/m...

I wrote up MEGADOC, a fly-on-the-wall film about Coppola’s difficulties making MEGALOPOLIS, particular his never-ending conflict with Shia LaBeouf: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/m...

“How do you manage success without turning into an alien,” asks a journalist. “How do you know I’m not an alien?” replies Emma Stone.

Hi from Venice

I’m the guest on The Daily today, talking about the 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century: open.spotify.com/episode/3GNl...

Readers want good criticism. When editors don’t listen to those readers, it’s worth wondering who they’re listening to instead

“Let’s be too earnest. What is wrong with all of us that we have to protect ourselves constantly by being less earnest?” James Gunn and I went long on the “Superman” squirrel scene and other deleted moments: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/m...

Joined my colleagues Gilbert Cruz and @kylebuchanan.bsky.social on the Culture Desk podcast to talk SUPERMAN, the very good boy Krypto, politics, history, the future of DC and all that jazz: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/p...

“I wanted to be famous so I could find a way that people would love me. Over the years, I’ve learned it doesn’t make you feel that — it just makes you feel worse.” I interviewed James Gunn: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/m...

I profiled the new Superman, David Corenswet: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/12/m...

Over 200,000 people cast their own ballots for the 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century. So how do their picks stack up against Hollywood’s? Here’s a brand-new list tabulating the readers’ top 100! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Still got questions about the NYT’s Best 100 Movies list? Hop into today’s Reddit AMA and we’ll do our best to answer: www.reddit.com/r/movies/com...

Tomorrow, the top 20 films will be revealed. Any guesses for the top five?

#41-60 is now up! Did one of the movies you put on your ballot place in this section? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

#80 to #61 is now up on the list of the 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century.

The best part of the Times’ list of the 100 Best Movies since 2000 has to be the public ballots. Love these Sofia Coppola picks! Love that Luca Guadagnino picks 9 very Luca movies but also John Carpenter’s GHOSTS OF MARS! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

So excited to have this out! I’ve been working on The 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century for months. We polled over 500 major directors, actors, and other people in and around Hollywood to find out the best films released since 2000. You’re gonna be obsessed. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

MATERIALISTS is going to spark a lot of conversations. I had a long, fascinating one with its director, Celine Song. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/m...

The last two editions of Cannes have produced 3 Best Picture nominees each. Will this year follow suit? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/26/m...

I wrote about why you can’t trust the reported times of a Cannes standing ovation: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/m...

I wrote about TITANE director Julia Ducournau’s new film ALPHA, and the perils of following up a major Cannes hit www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/m...

I interviewed Kristen Stewart about her directorial debut, starring in her wife’s own directorial debut, and baring her metaphorical breasts

What will win the Palme d’Or at Cannes? I know the answer with total certainty: It will be the movie I end up skipping because I’m too tired. In that way, I wield a power that surpasses even that of the jury

I wrote about Tom Cruise and the intriguing meta narrative of his big Cannes premiere www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/m...

Tom Cruise is signing autographs outside his Cannes premiere. I would like to think he’s just scrawling “Movies!!!” and then underlining it

Bonsoir from the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE premiere at Cannes

Lol

Hello from the Cannes jury press conference. Here is Jeremy Strong making his entrance in a bucket hat

Bonjour from Cannes! For the next two weeks, I’ll fill you in on all the major movies and fun run-ins from the Croisette. Until then, here’s what I’m keeping my eye on: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/m...

The director of THUNDERBOLTS gave me the scoop on the movie’s marketing name change to THE NEW AVENGERS, which rolled out in full this morning: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/m...

David Cronenberg was much more sanguine about A.I. than I expected

I interviewed David Cronenberg www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/m...

Revisiting this Sean Baker profile I wrote a few years ago and a lot of his quotes hit me anew: www.vulture.com/2017/11/the-...

I beat Sean Baker to his own after party because he went home to walk his dog first (after winning 4 Oscars)

And with that, ANORA director Sean Baker just tied Walt Disney’s record for 4 Oscar wins in the same night.

The Oscars came to Brazil

8 Oscars left…

If you’re not reading the NYT Oscars liveblog, you’re missing out: www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

NO OTHER LAND! t.co/BKAAvzK4Ly

If you want more Oscar thoughts from me during the show, look to the NYT live blog: www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

Nick Offerman is the Oscar night emcee and before the show begins, he’s addressing the crowd to keep their speeches short and avoid wasting too much time on hugs, “whether consensual or from Kevin Spacey.”
