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!

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
"Genki Kawamura teaches us that to be human is to make choices, even when we can't predict the outcome."

Read @serenaseghedoni.bsky.social's review of the "haunting and gripping" EXIT 8 (8番出口), another standout at the BFI London Film Festival!

"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
"Duraie's tender, heartbreaking, disquieting film offers all the Nadias out there a life jacket to keep them afloat."

Read @serenaseghedoni.bsky.social's review of SINK (Gharaq), next week at the BFI London Film Festival! 🔥

Interview with writer-director Zain Duraie very soon!

My first review from the BFI London Film Festival!

Don't miss HUMAN RESOURCE! ❤️🔥

Thoughts on @loudandclearrvs.bsky.social 👇
In the refreshingly bleak HUMAN RESOURCE, Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit holds up a mirror to our capitalist society & shows us that this world isn’t meant for good people.

Read @serenaseghedoni.bsky.social's review from the BFI London Film Festival & don't miss the screening on Wednesday!🔥

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! ✨

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

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 👇
"And maybe it's all a performance, and it's all an illusion, but it's *your* illusion, and it's all you have."

George Clooney, Billy Crudup and Adam Sandler excel in Noah Baumbach's JAY KELLY, our first 5-star review from the festival! 🤩
