Day 3 of MoMI's Terence Davies series features a triple dose of sublime cinema: his sole documentary OF TIME AND THE CITY, Gena Rowlands in THE NEON BIBLE (in 16mm, with costar Jacob Tierney in person), and Davies's devastating final film, BENEDICTION. movingimage.org/series/teren...

If you don't know THE TERENCE DAVIES TRILOGY—his first 3 shorts—then you don't know Terence Davies. Some of the most indelible images you'll ever see. Screening this Sat afternoon, once only, in imported 35mm prints at Museum of the Moving Image. movingimage.org/event/the-te...

We're talking ROPE tomorrow with Michael Koresky on our first ever Hitchcock pod! Michael wrote about the film extensively in his latest book—Sick and Dirty: Hollywood’s Gay Golden Age and the Making of Modern Queerness—which you really REALLY should get your hands on soon

BOYS GO TO JUPITER, with its timelessly melancholic portrait of youth situated in a ravaged economy, is one of my fave films of the year. I talked to Julian Glander about how Blender changed his life, eggs, and being on Jeopardy! for @reverseshot.bsky.social: reverseshot.org/interviews/e...

if you have not seen the House of Mirth, then you haven't seen one of the best movies of the last 25 years

I’ve been an avid reader of Reverse Shot and its marvellous coterie of writers for years, so it’s a honest thrill to make my debut there, on Ari Aster’s prickly, perverse, brilliant EDDINGTON. (Thank you to Michael Koresky for being a dream editor.)

For Reverse Shot, I spoke with Zeinabu irene Davis about the rejuvenation of her incredible classic COMPENSATION — a film I think is one of the great films about Chicago, deafness and Black life.

Presenting our Top Ten films of 2024. In honor of David Lynch, for whom words of analysis were somewhat inimical to cinema, we acknowledge that this magazine’s writing has only ever been an attempt at understanding that which we often cannot fully grasp. reverseshot.org/features/329...

breaking from album excitement to say that FLOW, one of the best animated films of the year, is hitting select US cinemas today (it goes nationwide from Dec 6). I interviewed the director Gints Zilbalodis a couple months back in for Reverse Shot: reverseshot.org/interviews/e...
