The Outfit Review Mark Rylance Is Caught In Ill Fitting Gangster Saga

Graham Moore’s “The Outfit” funnels a sprawling 1950s gangster saga down into a single location. A middling thriller with occasional bursts of intensity, it’s told through the eyes and ears of elderly Englishman Leonard Burling (Mark Rylance), tailor to the mob and the film’s delightful centerpiece, who attempts to navigate the violent family drama from its margins. However, despite Rylance’s effective work and some smart physical staging, the film is ultimately unable to overcome its “tell, don’t show — then tell again” dialogue, layered atop an increasingly busy plot....

The Sounding Review Catherine Eaton S Directing Debut Is An Indie Gem

Set (and shot) mostly on the remote island of Monhegan, just off the coast of Maine, Eaton’s film conjures both a place and a people. Mostly, there is Olivia (Eaton), the only grandchild and last living family member of Lionel (Harris Yulin), a beloved former doctor who has carved out a safe, quiet life for the duo among caring friends (including a warm turn from Frankie Faison, the pair’s lawyer and best friend)....

The Top Film On Netflix This Week Stars Hugh Jackman Pinnochio 3

Guillermo del Toro’s “Pinocchio,” one of Netflix’s high-end holiday originals, ranks #3, behind Sony’s “Bullet Train.” “Grinch,” along with “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (Universal/$3.99) and “Elf” (WBD/$3.99), placed on all three charts. Particularly impressive is their showing on Vudu, which calculates by revenue. Two other holiday titles — “The Holiday” (Sony/$3.99) and 47-minute 1964 TV special “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” (Universal/$9.99, for sale only) — also have a single listing....

Thomas Vinterberg Defends Leonardo Dicaprio Remake Of Another Round

“The target was one minute. I think I landed somewhere around four,” Vinterberg said the next morning, clutching his Oscar from a hotel room and speaking over Zoom. “It was first and foremost an incredibly proud moment, satisfying, and a huge relief.” The event was more sparsely attended than most Oscar ceremonies, but Vinterberg said he still experienced the weird collision of worlds unique to that event: He was backstage getting his Oscar engraved while listening to Harrison Ford’s rambling introduction to Best Editing, met Laura Dern for the first time, and then embraced fellow Dane Mikkel E....

“It was artists, storytellers, filmmakers, who were finding ways to move us, inspire us, to remind us what we’re living for,” he said. “I want to thank you, the best movie audience in the world, for being part of this experience again.” That experience takes many forms. The festival is a beacon for awards-season titles as well as red-carpet galas, documentaries, genre films, and international cinema. It’s also a snapshot of how the industry views commercial movies at a most fragile moment....

Timoth E Chalamet S Bob Dylan Biopic Not Happening Soon

“We were going to do Bob Dylan with Mangold that didn’t happen, with Timothée Chalamet, about going electric in the ’60s, and it would have been my third ’60s movie in a row,” said Papamichael, who last collaborated with the director on 2019’s “Ford v Ferrari.” This year, Papamichael also shot the 1960s-set “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” depicting a tumultuous period of protest that certainly had plenty of crossover with Dylan’s own life and work....

In front of the camera, her persona is carefree and happy-go-lucky, but behind the scenes she is cautious and introverted. Despite her best efforts, the filming of the television series ends unsuccessfully, and frustrated by the failure, she sets off into the mysterious country....

Voir Making Video Essays For Netflix David Fincher And Everyone Else

“YouTube was very constricting because of things like copyright and DMC,” Ramos said. “The license that Netflix and [David Fincher] gave us, it was very, ‘Oh, we can do anything and everything!’ And [that] was, I don’t want to say daunting, but —” “It was mildly terrifying,” Zhou added. More than access to money for media libraries and rights lawyers, however, what Ramos and Zhou had to contend with was the ability to scale how they presented their ideas, expanding from narration over picture to mix in other modes of filmmaking....

Alex Wolff also features as a crooning vagabond, showing off a lovely singing voice that we certainly didn’t hear in “Hereditary.” They are joined by model and filmmaker Hailey Gates, who had small parts in “Uncut Gems” and “Twin Peaks: The Return.” The rest of the ensemble includes newcomers Samia Benazzouz, Chloe Park, Valerio Santucci, Francesca Figus, Tania Hanyoung Park, and Shi Yang Shi....

Focus Features, in partnership with Indian Paintbrush, has set a limited theatrical release for “Asteroid City” on June 16, 2023.

What S New On Disney Mark The Animators Strike S 80Th Anniversary

Humorist and actor Robert Benchley (grandfather of “Jaws” author Peter) tries to sell Disney on the idea of adapting the Grahame story, but before he can get to the big man himself he goes on a veritable tour of the studio. What follows is as much an inside-look at filmmaking as anything Hollywood had ever given viewers by the early 1940s. It plays like a DVD “making of” feature nearly 60 years before DVDs were invented, so no wonder, after the towering heights of “Snow White,” “Pinocchio,” and “Fantasia,” critics were puzzled by this especially strange theatrical release....

Why Anthony Bourdain Doc Roadrunner Doesn T Interview Asia Argento

Shortly after his death, Argento was scrutinized as a villain figure in Bourdain’s life, as the #MeToo activist was embroiled in a sexual assault scandal of her own. While the movie looks toward this chapter at the end of Bourdain’s life, Neville does not interview Argento at all for the film, instead speaking with others close to her late boyfriend. Neville told IndieWire, the filmmakers were “pretty deep” into the project when they decided not to include her....

With Liam Neeson And The Croods A New Age Home Viewing Thrives

The thriving home-viewing market also includes “Soul” (Disney+ only) and “Wonder Woman 1984” (also in theaters). Neither studio reported specific results, though Warners claims “WW84” viewings by “millions” of subscribers. What constitutes a “view” remains undefined. Apart from “Croods,” the leading premium hits are “Tenet,” “Greenland,” and “The War With Grandpa.” At $14.99, “Grandpa” is less expensive, “Greenland” is home-availability only, and “Croods” is part of Universal’s now-standard model of three weeks in theaters, then add PVOD....

Woodlands Dark Days Bewitched Review A Deep History Of Folk Horror

Not that such patience will necessarily be required. Trusting that her subject matter is fertile enough to merit such a scholarly approach, and also bewitching enough to survive it, Janisse connects the dots between “The Wicker Man” and “La Llorona” in a way that allows this multi-chapter epic to function as both séance-like spectacle and streaming-era syllabus in equal measure. On the one hand, auditing the whole course in a single sitting makes it easier to recognize folk horror as a mode rather than a genre, and to appreciate how its different expressions across various cultures reflect the unresolved pasts that percolate beneath them all....

Of course, certain wrinkles in the fabric of space-time make it hard to say for sure when either of those things really happened. All we know is that Emily was visited by a third-generation adult clone of herself at the beginning of Don Hertzfeldt’s beloved 2015 short “World of Tomorrow,” and spirited away on a whirlwind tour of the hilariously fucked up digital future that awaited her and all of the various back-up Emilys into which she would dump her consciousness after her body stopped working....
