THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE: A dour and joyless portrayal of faith, repression and religious fervor. Amanda Seyfried gives it all she's got, but her character's redemptive suffering is oppressive, not illuminating. Sitting through this glum period musical is an exercise in self-flagellation. C-

Can't say I'm surprised to see the critic who not so silently judged Coen Brothers fans who think FARGO is their best film going the John McEnroe route against people with the audacity to take issue with said critic touting a paywalled article with a clickbait headline. (OK, now I have a headache.)

Daniel Day Lewis came out of Instagram retirement to show support for Paul Dano. King shit.

#Zootopia2, #Hamnet and #WakeUpDeadMan -- three crowd-pleasers of different shapes and sizes -- enter the awards race, but do they measure up to the hype? Disney's zippy animated caper, better than the first, does just that. The others are decent enough. My Miamiartzine reviews: bit.ly/44fMqQ8

The Ladies Who Lunch reconvene at Lester's Diner on State Road 84, near Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. I've missed these chats, and their company. Breakfast, as usual for Lester's, was stellar. 🍳☕😋

Pro tip, staff of Motek at Aventura Mall: when you offer water options to diners, kindly let them know you're going to charge them $8 for a large bottle of Saratoga Spring Water _before_ placing the order. That way, you won't come across as money-grubbing scammers. Much obliged. #MiamiHustle

Here's a fun flashback to the premiere of THE IRISHMAN at the 2019 Key West Film Festival with @mcastimovies.bsky.social and @davidlfear.bsky.social. Fond memories. 🎬🎞🏝🍿😊

IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT: It was just a chore. There is a payoff, but to get there, you have to wade through way too much of bitching and moaning -- charming when it was young soccer players in OFFSIDE, but these are grown men and women who won't shut the hell up. (_This_ won the Palme d'Or?) C+

Four new fall releases from four directors I like:
Kelly Reichardt's #TheMastermind (B+) > Richard Linklater's #BlueMoon (B) > Guillermo del Toro's #Frankenstein (C+) > #Bugonia (C), a rare miss from Yorgos Lanthimos.

Once a year, on a Saturday in the fall, I invite local film critics and other friends for lunch at Seasons 52 in Coral Gables to catch up and enjoy each other's company. It was every bit as soul-tingling and satisfying as the best of these events that I've been organizing for well over a decade now.

#ROOFMAN nails retail purgatory and local news in the 2000s. Never expected Derek Cianfrance to have a lighthearted side, but he lets his hair down in disarming ways. Also, beautifully shot on film. Best Channing performance? Up there with Foxcatcher. What a lovely final scene. B+

The clock is ticking in #AHouseofDynamite and #TronAres. Kathryn Bigelow's political thriller is a bleak mosaic of despair marred by multiple shifts in perspective that dilute its urgency. Disney's generic legacy sequel rarely stops feeling as synthetic as its sentient AI. My reviews: bit.ly/4ogdhDd

I saw Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson from a distance at the European premiere of SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE at Berlinale many moons ago. A tremendous talent with a wide range. She really brightened movies, didn't she? RIP.

Happy #NationalComingOutDay. What under normal circumstances is considered a celebration is increasingly becoming, in these turbulent times, an act of defiance.

Also, I'm single.
