I’ve only caught a small glimpse of the reviews for “Alpha,” but I can’t imagine there will be many positive takes. This is not a good film. So far, pans coming in from THR, Variety, The Guardian (1/5) and IndieWire (D+).

Not much time to collect my thoughts on Spike Lee’s “Highest 2 Lowest,” but early critical reception seems generally positive.

According to a new report out of Naver, Lee is gearing up to shoot his next feature, “Possible Love,” as early as this fall. The hope? To land a coveted Cannes 2026 premiere.

I’m an admirer of Brazilian filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho, whose “Aquarius” and “Bacurau” pulse with life, rebellion, and a distinct cinematic voice.

“I actually said I’m going to make movies into my 80s; actually, I’m going to make them into my 100s,” he recently told THR.

Can Julia Ducournau win the Palme d’Or again? Here’s our first teaser for “Alpha,” Julia Ducournau’s anticipated follow-up to “Titane,” which screens tonight at Cannes.

After a buzzy six-screen debut last weekend, Andrew DeYoung’s “Friendship” pulled in a spectacular $1.4M from just 60 theaters in its second frame

Netflix is also shelling out a massive $35M to lock in Denzel for the newly announced crime thriller “Here Comes the Flood,” which will also star Robert Pattinson and Daisy Edgar-Jones.

Guillermo del Toro is steering his adaptation of “Frankenstein” away from traditional horror and leaning into something far more personal and emotional.

We’re only halfway through Cannes, but chatter has already shifted to what might surface on the Lido later this year. It’s looking like a strong lineup of films will be unveiled.

Andrew Garfield is now in active negotiations to take over the lead role from Matthew McConaughey, who had previously been attached. 

I haven’t had the time to write a review for Wes Anderson’s “The Phoenician Scheme,” but at first viewing, I’m underwhelmed by it. As it stands, it’s one of his lesser efforts.

The first major deal out of Cannes has landed—and it’s a big one. MUBI has snapped up U.S. rights (along with several other territories) to Lynne Ramsay’s latest

Following her Palme d’Or win and Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, Justine Triet—the French filmmaker behind “Anatomy of a Fall” —has been attracting serious attention from Hollywood.

To think, ‘Bloodlines’ was initially planned as a streaming-only release on HBO Max, and only switched to theatrical in August 2024. Goes to show how important theatrical can be for a film.

We’re eagerly anticipating Chomet’s “The Magnificent Life of Marcel Pagnol,” set to be his first animated feature in 15 years. The film premiered yesterday at Cannes.

“Near Dark,” Kathryn Bigelow’s awesome 1987 vampire neo-Western is being developed as a series over at A24. Bigelow herself is involved in some capacity.

Jennifer Lawrence has never been one for half-measures, but it’s been a while since we’ve seen her go this raw, this unfiltered, this dangerous.

Richard Linklater has always been more interested in moments than plot. In “Nouvelle Vague,” his tribute to Jean-Luc Godard’s “Breathless,” he turns the French filmmaker’s story into — what else — a hangout movie.
