Martin Scorsese was recently asked if he’s seen any great recent films, and his answer might surprise you; he namechecks Jane Schoenbrun’s “I Saw The TV Glow,” which was released this past May (via AP):
There was one film I liked a great deal I saw two weeks ago called “I Saw the TV Glow.” It really was emotionally and psychologically powerful and very moving. It builds on you, in a way. I didn’t know who made it. It’s this Jane Schoenbrun.
Interesting how Scorsese keeps praising A24 movies. Earlier in the year, he championed Ti West’s “X” trilogy. He’s also a major fan of Ari Aster’s three A24 films (“Hereditary,” “Midsommar,” and “Beau is Afraid”). Now, it’s Schoenbrun’s turn to get high praise from the master.
Paul Greengrass’ "The Uprising," starring Andrew Garfield, opened to $3.2M from 2,068 theaters this weekend. Yikes. The budget hasn’t been disclosed, but is said to be in the $20-$30M range.
