Yet this quiet, slow-burn look at an elderly couple suffering from dementia and other ailments is a grounded, emotional variation of “Amour,” as well as the the most sensitive and accessible work from a filmmaker for whom those descriptors rarely apply. A world apart from the dazzling psychedelic rides of “Climax” and “Enter the Void,” […]
A young Parisian filmmaker whose delicately personal work illuminates the unbearable lightness of being with the soft touch of a late summer breeze, Mia Hansen-Løve may not be the first 21st-century auteur who comes to mind when people consider the portentous legacy of Ingmar Bergman, a man whose cinema stared into the void in the […]
Along with “The French Dispatch” from Wes Anderson, “The Story of My Wife” from Ildikó Enyedi, and “On a Half Clear Morning” from Bruno Dumont, the “Blue Is the Warmest Color” Palme d’Or winner also stars in Arnaud Desplechin’s “Deception.” Adapted from Philip Roth’s slim 1990 novel, the film bows in the Cannes Premiere section, […]
Sean Penn’s first directorial effort since 2016’s “The Last Face” compensates for that misstep, if only just, with a sweet and rather straightforward father-daughter drama that lays out most of its emotional cards from the first act and offers few surprises along the way. Initially drawn to her divorced dad’s seat-of-the-pants lifestyle before learning the […]
Set in Hull, England, and on the ice floes of the Arctic in the late 1850s, the series follows the story of Patrick Sumner , a harpooner and distinctly brutal force of nature. It feels akin to the first season of AMC’s 2018 series “The Terror,” which also took place in freezing temperatures many decades ago. […]
I wanted to get the audience invested in this character before we start the plot, which is getting assigned to MIFT, where he must work alongside a misfit bunch of mechanics while training to be a Jokester with Mike,” he said. “Pixar was very generous in supplying us with all the development art from to […]
In this week’s “Mortiplicity,” all that havoc is weirdly both confined to a single idea and sprawling so wide that Rick has to take a quick breather to draw up a diagram and explain. As these encounters start to complicate themselves, with Decoys making their own Decoys, that chain starts to branch out in the […]

In a recent interview with Insider, the question came up as to why Keitel hasn’t worked with Tarantino again. Keitel went on to say, “The story is not over because what we did when we met can’t be over. He also went on to praise Tarantino’s last movie, the 2019 love letter to 1960s Los […]
Earlier in June, TikTok user Kim Saira called out Corden for showing insensitivity toward Asian cultures . Corden has now vowed to make changes to the segment, as he revealed on a June 16 episode of “The Howard Stern Show.” “We heard that story, and the next time we do that bit we absolutely won’t […]
I don’t have a reason that I would want to say out loud that’s going to win any argument in a court of public opinion or Supreme Court or anything like that. At the same time, working for 30 years doing as many movies as I’ve done, not as many as other people, that’s a […]
Facing children’s mockery and adult indifference, he wonders if his music is even worth hearing, until an old woman and her caretaker stop by just for him. Rather than bounce back and forth between both plots, as is the typical sitcom format, “The Shadow” plays them sequentially, giving each all the room they need to […]
Liam Neeson’s unexpected yet remarkably durable second act as a grizzled action star isn’t showing any signs of slowing down, and each one of his modest hits makes it that much easier to imagine the 69-year-old actor will be able to keep this up for many years to come. Movies like “Non-Stop” and “Run All […]
The starry cast includes Cecily Strong, Keegan Michael-Key, Alan Cumming, Kristin Chenoweth, Aaron Tveit, Dove Cameron, Ariana DeBose, Fred Armisen, Jaime Camil, Jane Krakowski, and Ann Harada. “There’s a whole tone to the show, which is both real, but very theatrical,” director Barry Sonnenfeld said during the TCA panel for the series back in February, […]
There are literal traps, of course — this is the series that gave Michelle Gomez , as well as the psychological baggage she’s been carrying around for years.

Hannah Waddingham, a frontrunner to land an Emmy nomination this year for “Ted Lasso,” generated headlines last month after she revealed she was waterboarded on the “Game of Thrones” set for nearly 10 hours while filming a scene in which her character, Unella, is tortured by Cersei Lannister. And some people will be like, ‘I […]
Since its debut in 2017, it’s taken slices of headline fodder and put them in a TV context, reconfiguring and prodding at them under the guise of a fascinating legal drama. Some of these developments are quick — Cush Jumbo, filming her scenes in London, gives Lucca Quinn as satisfying a leave as anyone could […]
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Thursday that its Board of Governors voted to present the annual Honorary Awards to Samuel L.

Courteney Cox appeared on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio show this week alongside “Friends” co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow, and she got candid when discussing how much it hurt not to receive a single Emmy nomination for acting during the 10-season run of the iconic NBC sitcom. “Yeah, it always hurt my feelings,” Cox said.
