Pedro Almodóvar‘s English-language feature debut @theroomnextdoormovie is a stylish albeit strained saga of reconnection amid tragedy. Based on the novel What Are You Going Through by Sigrid Nunez, the film gives glimpses of strength in its beautiful production design and enviable wardrobes. Still, strong visual aesthetics, including Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore’s star power, don’t fully make up for a soft script. ‘The Room Next Door’ may not be Almodóvar’s finest work, but it offers a unique perspective on an unconventional life journey that will no doubt resonate differently with each viewer.

In 2018, actor-turned-filmmaker @bradycorbet turned heads with his sophomore feature, ‘Vox Lux’. The Natalie Portman-led dark musical harnessed an uncompromising vision that, at the time, felt exciting and fresh. It was a bold introduction to his aesthetic and unique visual style as an artist. In his latest film, ‘The Brutalist’, Corbet doesn’t so much turn heads as he does command the room. A larger-than-life story about an architect (@adrienbrody ) who immigrates to America with nothing more than a dream, ‘The Brutalist’ is a defiant, fiery magnum opus whose enduring appeal will withstand the test of time. Running over 3.5 hours long, with one smartly placed 15-minute intermission, this independent film (made for less than $10mm) is a profound cinematic achievement.

“Ho ho ho” turns into “No, no, no” in filmmaker @classicnelson ’s debut feature, @breakupseasonmovie . Arriving just in time for the holidays, this indie dramedy tells the story of a young couple’s ill-timed split during the most wonderful time of the year.
In his winning directorial debut, Tracey cleverly combines a coming-of-age story over Christmas and captures a broad spectrum of deeply felt human emotions, making for a humorous, heartwarming, and crowd-pleasing delight.
Now streaming on VOD 💔 review in bio.

Your ears haven’t heard anything like this before. Quite possibly the most resonating score I’ve listened to all year, co-composers @scottalario and @alexsomersmusic conjure up nothing short of magic in their stunning experimental soundtrack for @nickelboysmovie . The film already plays with strong stylistic choices, including the use of the first-person POV perspective, and Alario and Somers propel this intimacy with their ethereal and often hypnotic sound. It’s easy to listen to and impossible to forget.

A smart sci-fi thriller makes landfall this Friday and you won’t want to miss it. Writer/director Jérémy Clapin’s latest experimental feature, #MeanwhileOnEarth, combines the best of arthouse adventure and big blockbuster drama to create a singular story of hope against all odds. It is heavily dependent on the score and sound design, in the same vein as Sound of Metal, which is equally stunning.
Meanwhile on Earth is a conceptually rich and thought-provoking piece of cinema that breathes new life into the independent film genre.
Now playing in theaters including @drafthousela 🛸 review in bio.

A conspiracy thriller set during one of the world’s most secretive religious events, @conclavethefilm will have you murmuring “Oh my God” under your breath. Director @eeedwardberger ‘s latest feature, starring bonafide thespians Ralph Fiennes, @stanleytucci , @jalithgow , and @isabellarossellini , is an electrifying and visually stunning tour de force, whose suspense only intensifies as the story unfolds.
#Conclave is based on the acclaimed novel by author Robert Harris.
Now playing in theaters 🙏 More at the link. Amen.

The epidemic of loneliness and isolation is devastatingly realized in director @adam_elliot_clay ‘s animated feature #MemoirOfaSnail. The stunning stop-motion drama, which won “Best Film” at the BFI London Film Festival, expertly blends coming-of-age angst and bittersweet melancholy.
@sarah_snook of Succession fame voices the film’s main character Grace Pudel, while @kodismitmcphee (The Power of the Dog) voices her twin brother, Gilbert.
In theaters today 🐌 More at the link.

If you want to see the best film of the year, look no further than Sean Baker‘s @anorafilm . Winner of the Palme d’Or at @festivaldecannes , #Anora follows the rise and fall of an exotic dancer named Ani. Baker’s operatic love story is equally stunning and devastating as it depicts a whirlwind young romance destined to fail from the start.
Much like its titular character, Anora is a straight-shooting, no-BS, mesmerizing odyssey that is impossible to forget.
In theaters today ❤️🔥 More at the link.
