SIFF kicks off Thursday and there is a whole bunch of good stuff showing to see. Thus, I recommended one film to see for every day of the festival for KNKX such as I Saw the TV Glow📺, Good One🌲, Janet Planet🪐, Sing Sing🎭, and more.

There are exciting feature debuts and then there is India Donaldson's GOOD ONE. With a breakout performance by Lily Collias, it's one of the best of the year. Check out this new poster and see it in theaters starting August 9 (my birthday).

If you didn't experience it yet, Alice Rohrwacher’s stunning LA CHIMERA is now available to see on VOD for you to get on that. It remains a film that captures the beauty & agony of life in rich detail, with one series of shots remaining something that will stick with me forever.

I finally watched a Somai Shinji movie and, no surprise, it's really good. Wrote about Sailor Suit and Machine Gun here, for subscribers only.

On the new Anita Pallenberg documentary--and other media representations--now in theaters and on VOD. Well worth seeing for anyone interested in this iconic figure, though I was hoping to learn more about her life outside of the 'Stones. Seattle Film Critics Society 🔜 SIFF 2024

The world is on fire and everything is bad, which only makes John Rosman's PNW-shot feature debut NEW LIFE even more potent. For Portland Mercury 🗞, I wrote about how it's one of those rare films that hits you out of nowhere. See it Sat. Hollywood Theatre

Hop on folks! We're less than a week out from the start of the 50th annual SIFF + there are other great film festivals happening locally too. From the end of NFFTY & the Cascadia International Women’s Film Festival to TRANSlations, I rounded them up here👇

If you missed it in theaters, Radu Jude's DO NOT EXPECT TOO MUCH FROM THE END OF THE WORLD is now available to stream on MUBI. It's an absolutely sensational cinematic scalpel that cuts to the very core of modern life & the casual cruelties that dominate every facet of our world.

I'll be covering SIFF 2024 this year, starting with Dawn Porter's Luther: Never Too Much, one of the documentaries I was looking forward to the most (the other is SCALA!!! The Movie). Porter will be at the May 10 screening. Seattle Film Critics Society 🔜 SIFF 2024

“THE FALL GUY proves the greatest stunt is pure Hollywood charisma” — Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt shine (literally) in David Leitch’s love letter to the stunt community.

Can Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt just star in every movie together from now on?

Hey Seattle, looking for some good local films to see at SIFF? I watched all the PNW films including the terrific Tim Travers and the Time Traveler’s Paradox, great docs like Rainier: A Beer Odyssey and All We Carry, the stellar short Dream Creep, & more👇

#TheFallGuy stumbles on its feet, due to a weak villain and a prolonged third act. Still shows growth for Leitch as a director, and Gosling as a modern matinee idol, their wattage delivering a worthy summer curtain-raiser.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 | Seattle Film Critics Society 🔜 SIFF 2024

THE IDEA OF YOU: Anne Hathaway is wickedly funny, effortlessly charming, and authentically vulnerable in this romantic dramedy that largely won me over. Plus, it's always great when you get to make a silly headline pun after watching something.

My review: inlander.com/screen/the-ide…

#TurtlesAlltheWayDown is an emotional film with a strong performance from Isabela Merced! It is approached with care and the story of a young girl struggling with OCD feels realistic.

I reviewed the new Ma Dong-seok Roundup movie.
Spoiler: he punches guys in the head.
