Jonathan Majors is getting great reviews Magazine Dreams! Though people are calling it very dark and disturbing

Nice to see raves for Zar Amir Ebrahimi in Shayda…sounds it’s more industry friendly than Holy Spider and hopefully she gets the flowers she deserves next year, but I’m not holding my breath

FYC:

Zar Amir Ebrahimi - Holy Spider (Best Actress)
Ana de Armas, Julianne Nicholson - Blonde (Best Actress, Supporting Actress)
Samantha Morton - She Said (Best Supporting Actress)
Kerry Condon - The Banshees of Inisherin (Best Supporting Actress)

A24 strikes again! I love their collaboration with Asian American/Asian voices and ‘Past Lives’ seems like another success. A likely breakthrough of Sundance this year. Terrific reviews. So happy for Greta Lee

I’m gonna need Magazine Dreams to be strong in other things before I get my hopes up for Jonathan Majors. I thought his work in Devotion last year was Oscar-worthy.

I just love movies. And awards.

i haven’t really been able to take Thomasin seriously since her performance in ‘Old’, but I had hoped for good reviews for Eileen as I read the book years ago and it was so singular and twisted. From a quick Google the responses I’m seeing are largely positive?

Judging from twitter and letterboxd its polarizing. About her turn in Old, as bizzare as she (and everyone else) is, Shyamalan need to take some blame because the entire cast is awful (bar Scanlen and Sewell, arguably). You cant be good with that kind of acting direction, and I have seen much better performances from much of the cast.

I completely agree, but I found Thomasin’s performance especially laughable. The performances of her and Anne in Eileen at least seem to be encouraging.
