Lovely to chat with Alex Russell, writer-director of LURKER! The interview is live on @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social! 👇

The poster for A USEFUL GHOST is perfect! 🥰😍 Can't wait for more people to see this gem!

"Josh Safdie teaches us that sometimes, while we’re busy chasing a dream, real life happens, and we grow up." I can't stop thinking about MARTY SUPREME! 🏓🧡 I might have a new favorite film of the year. Review at @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social 👇 #MartySupreme

My review of DOWN CEMETERY ROAD! I stumbled upon it by chance and reached out to Apple immediately as I couldn't wait to watch all the episodes! 🤪 Thoughts on the series on @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social 👇 #DownCemeteryRoad

We were quoted in the trailer for WAKE UP DEAD MAN! 😱😍 (youtu.be/0hc8yz5-d5Y) @themnmovieman.bsky.social's review: t.ly/X8d9R @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social

Edgar Wright's THE RUNNING MAN is actually great!😍 Smart narrative choices, tense action scenes, the right humor & a committed cast make this adaptation fun & gripping but also bleak & introspective, and I really liked its subversive ending and Michael Cera & Lee Pace's characters. Review👇

My first interview that contains both words like "transmogrification" & "exponential encrustation of ideas" and the word "fucked-up-ness"! 😆😍 Lovely to speak with Seamus McGarvey, cinematographer of DIE MY LOVE, about the film, 'cinematic ghost hunter' Lynne Ramsay, the medium of cinema & more! 👇

I was finally able to write my last review from the London Film Festival! 😅 I loved Cal McMau's WASTEMAN! Here are my thoughts 👇

I was finally able to write my review of RENTAL FAMILY, my favourite film of the year! 🥰👇

Help, I can't stop looking at our quote from Hayley's review on the new poster for Pillion 🤪🤪🤪

So wonderful to speak with writer-director Zain Duraie about SINK, a film I really loved at the BFI London Film Festival and that I still can't stop thinking about! Read the interview at @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social 👇

My review of “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” 👇🏻 @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social #LFF

Blown away by WASTEMAN! David Jonsson and Tom Blyth are phenomenal in this tense, bold, unpredictable drama about quiet survival and not losing sight of who you are. One of my favourite films of #LFF!

I can't stop thinking about Genki Kawamura's EXIT 8! 🥰 My review from the BFI London Film Festival 👇 @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social

"What’s most astonishing about Sink is Duraie’s ability to move between very jarring tones and genres and still deliver a narrative that’s not only coherent, but also incredibly effective." My review of SINK (Gharaq) from the BFI London Film Festival 👇 #LFF @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social

My first review from the BFI London Film Festival! Don't miss HUMAN RESOURCE! ❤️🔥 Thoughts on @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social 👇

My last interview from Venice is live! It was wonderful to speak with Andrea Di Stefano and Pierfrancesco Favino about MY TENNIS MAESTRO (IL MAESTRO), which had its World Premiere at #Venezia82! Read it at @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social 👇🥰

Mark Jenkin, Callum Turner and George MacKay ruined interviews for me because they were the nicest, most generous people I've ever interviewed! Here's what they told be about ROSE OF NEVADA, my favourite film at #Venezia82 👇🥰 @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social

Thrilled to share the lovely chat I had with writer-director Maryam Touzani (of The Blue Caftan) about CALLE MALAGA, which unsurprisingly won the Audience Award at #Venezia82! 🥰 Read the interview at @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social 👇

I watched 13 experiences at VENICE IMMERSIVE this year, which is better than last year's 6 😅 but I still wish I had been able to watch more! I was so impressed by so many of these works and here's my article about them 👇 #Venezia82 @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social #VeniceImmersive

I love to see this quote from @cynicalfilm.bsky.social's review in the trailer for LEFT-HANDED GIRL 🥰 Review 👉 t.ly/_mYNk @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social

I’ve been so bad at updating BlueSky from Venice! 😨 it’s been a crazy busy festival but I’ve also seen some very good films (and VR!)! I’m off to another screening now but I’ll post more photos, videos and reviews soon! ✨ #venezia82

Jason Momoa and Oscar Isaac had a moment inside the Sala Grande before the Premiere of In The Hand of Dante the other day 🤣 #Venezia82

My review of Mark Jenkin's ROSE OF NEVADA, my favourite film at #Venezia82! 👇 Interview with Mark Jenkins, George MacKay and Callum Turner soon! 🥰🔥 @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social

Very excited to share my interview with the director-producer of the Venice-premiering Newport Folk Festival doc NEWPORT & THE GREAT FOLK DREAM! We spoke about the evolution of folk music, Bob Dylan & A Complete Unknown, how the film is "a message in a bottle from the people in America" & more! 🥰👇

Father Mother Sister Brother was one of my most anticipated films of #Venezia82, and Jim Jarmusch didn't disappoint. Review @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social 👇

I changed my mind multiple times about this film, but after really thinking about it (or, rather, not being able to stop thinking about it!), I've come to the conclusion that it's only deceptively simple. My review of Park Chan-wook's NO OTHER CHOICE for @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social ! 👇

JAY KELLY is exactly my kind of film. So much to think about but also very funny and entertaining, fantastic acting, interesting storytelling choices, and I even found myself crying at the end ❤️. Review for @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social 👇

Today I went to the Venice Immersive press preview and watched three Atlas V / @astreaimmersive.bsky.social projects! ✨ I think I’m still under embargo, but thoughts on these and more experiences soon! 🥰 #Venezia82 #VeniceImmersive #VR
