On September 2, 2022, “Bones and All” was screened at the 79th Venice International Film Festival to both acclaim and a 10-minute standing ovation. The film centers on cannibalistic lovers portrayed by Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell on a road trip in the 1980s. The cast also includes Oscar winner Mark Rylance, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Chloë Sevigny. With a score of 95 on Rotten Tomatoes, the film firmly establishes itself as an awards contender this season. But what exactly did the critics say?

Jack King of The Playlist begins with the attention grabbing “To love is to want to consume someone whole, to pick their skin and sinews out of the gaps between your teeth, to swallow their pancreas and wash it all down with gulps of throat-fizzing stomach acid.” That sentence alone should catch the attention of most readers.

Richard E Grant and Melissa McCarthy in Can You Ever Forgive Me?
Can You Ever Forgive Me, 11.20pm, Film4, Monday, June 13 Comedy is served with a cutting edge in Marielle Heller's consideration of the life of Lee Marshall, a writer who turned her hand to forgery to make ends meet. Melissa McCarthy brings her sharp comic timing to material that is much darker than her more regular outings as no-nonsense cat lady Marshall who finds herself in an unlikely partnership with fellow booze-lover Jack - outsiders who have found an inside track. Striking a balance between being kind of funny and kind of sad is never easy but thanks to the strong central performances, Heller manages that and more in a film that's about more than a clever punchline. Read what Dolly Wells told us about the film here and here.

October is horror movie season, but there’s no reason to watch “Hocus Pocus” for the umpteenth time when there are newer offerings available. This year, several of the major horror film festivals across the U.S. were forced to cancel their physical gatherings, but they’ve joined forces to create a single virtual festival event loaded with promising new work from around the world. Running October 8 – 11, Nightstream represents the collaborative programming efforts of Boston Underground, Brooklyn Horror, Overlook, the North Bend Film Festival, and Popcorn Frights Festival. The supersized curatorial undertaking has yielded an international lineup of genre efforts that include some favorites from earlier the festival season as well as many discoveries.
Launching as New York Film Festival’s virtual edition winds down, Nightstream is another example of ongoing efforts to replicate the festival experience in these stay-at-home times. The program opens Thursday with the world premiere of the Hulu Original production “Run,...

The most tantalizing genre films not only explore the lasting damaging effects of victims being physically attacked, but also being emotionally manipulated by the people they least expect to hurt them. That’s certainly the case for actress Lee Marshall’s shy, awkward protagonist in the new psychological thriller, ‘Bleed with Me,’ which explores the intersections of […]

A young woman's sanity slow slips away on a woodsy getaway with friends in Bleed With Me, the debut feature from writer/director Amelia Moses. Rowan (Lee Marshall) is the quiet type, not one to make a fuss or inject herself into situations that don't concern her, but when she's invited to join her best friend Emily (Lauren Beatty) and her boyfriend Brendan (Aris Tyros) on a outing to a remote cabin, she says yes, but it's not all rest and relaxation when things start going wrong. Within hours Rowan's anxieties begin taking hold and in order to cope with her feeling like an interloper, she begins to drink pretty heavily, leading to numerous unnecessary confrontations and the bonds of friendship are tested. Emily tries to...

Stars: Lee Marshall, Lauren Beatty, Aris Tyros | Written and Directed by Amelia Moses
Yet another Canadian horror production (which is always a good sign in my book), Bleed With Me is a female-led genre film from Montreal-based filmmaker Amelia Moses, making her feature debut, whose acclaimed short Undress Me played at Fantasia in 2017.
Bleed With Me sees Rowan (Lee Marshall), a self-destructive and vulnerable outsider, thrilled when the seemingly perfect Emily invites her on a winter getaway to an isolated cabin in the woods. Struggling to integrate herself with her best friend, Emily (Lauren Beatty) and her unfriendly boyfriend, Brendan (Aris Tyros) and feeling like a third wheel, she drinks to calm her nerves, pushing her body and mind deep into a hazy trance, where she begins to witness nightmarish late-night visions that make her feel increasingly unwelcome, unsure and unstable. Trust soon turns into paranoia when Rowan wakes up...

There have been two very distinctive takes on the vampire movie at Fantasia 2020. Darkly witty Seventies pastiche Climate Of The Hunter has a lot to offer to older viewers. This one, by contrast, focuses on the teenagers we're used to seeing getting their necks bitten into in the genre, but has a very different tone from other works aimed at that age group.
Rowan (Lee Marshall) is a shy, awkward girl with a history of self harm. She can barely believe that the wealthy, popular Emily (Lauren Beatty) has invited her along on a trip to her family cabin in the woods. Neither can Emily's boyfriend, Brendan (Aris Tyros), who doesn't want to hurt Rowan's feelings but had clearly hoped for a quiet weekend away with the girl he loves. There's a hint of trouble in their relationship, which makes Rowan feel even more strongly that she's in...

A score is one of the key elements of a film to set its tone, and we are welcomed to Bleed with Me with a sound of familiarity, but effectiveness in conveying a sense of foreboding. This is no secluded cabin story with a murderer about to spring out of its surrounding woods; however, it’s still a horror story. In her first feature as writer and director, Amelia Moses states the fright that befalls those in this cabin comes in the form of the insecurities and anxieties that are often present in female friendships. But the film is full of ambiguity that allows for interpretations of varying kinds. With an unsettling psychological horror film, Moses proves to be both a director and screenwriter to watch. (Tw// self-harm—below and in the film.)

“The Amazing Race” was perhaps the first major U.S. production to halt due to the Covid-19 pandemic, when filming on the show’s Season 33 was paused at the end of February. Host Phil Keoghan said the decision to stop the show midstream, which had never happened before, was disheartening at the time — but it quickly became clear they made the right decision.
“My heart went out to the cast, who had taken time off work, who had sacrificed a lot to come onto the show,” Keoghan said during a Variety After Show for his new CBS series, “Tough as Nails.” At first, some involved with the production felt that it was an overreaction, but “we got everybody home safely to their families, which we told them was our number one priority. It’s the one thing we lose sleep over, making sure that we can get these amazing people around the world safely.

Early as it may be to provide a cogent assessment of the 70th Berlinale, the first edition under the new leadership of executive director Mariette Rissenbeek and artistic director Carlo Chatrian, fresh finds and new ideas seemed to herald much-welcomed changes to the festival's curatorial vision. Sure, the official competition—historically a mix bag often stashed with one too many crowd-pleasers under former Berlinale director Dieter Kosslick—may not have featured “many more truly great and prize-worthy contributions” than in the past, as noted by Andreas Kilb at Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. But in his thorough analysis of Chatrian’s first mandate, over at IndieWire Eric Kohn contends that the fest’s official lineup has always had to wrestle with a difficult calendar slot:Hamstrung by its placement after Sundance and before Cannes, [Berlin] must compete with both the most prominent festival in the U.S. and the most revered one in the world.

(L-r) Ben Mendelsohn, Eliza Scanlen, Shannon Murphy and Toby Wallace in Venice.
Shannon Murphy’s debut feature Babyteeth, a bittersweet comedy starring Ben Mendelsohn, Essie Davis, Eliza Scanlen and Toby Wallace, has been acclaimed by critics after its world premiere in official competition at the Venice International Film Festival.
Mendelsohn and Davis play a couple who discover their seriously ill teenage daughter Milla (Scanlen) has fallen in love with drug dealer Moses (Wallace). It’s her protective parents’ worst nightmare but Milla teaches those in her orbit how to live like there is nothing to lose.
Produced by Alex White and based on Rita Kalnejais’ play, it’s one of only two from female directors in Venice competition. However Murphy was not keen to address the gender issue, telling the media in Venice: “I think it’s a struggle to always have to answer questions about being a female filmmaker if I’m being honest.

Abdellatif Kechiche, the French director best known for helming “Blue is the Warmest Color,” has been accused of sexual assaulting a young actress, Deadline reports. The woman, who is remaining anonymous for now, filed a complaint with French police at the beginning of October, alleging Kechiche assaulted her at a dinner party in Paris in June. Kechiche’s lawyer says the director “categorically denies” the accusation.
According to Deadline, French police have started a preliminary investigation into the accusation. The actress says the alleged assault took place at an apartment located in the 20th Arrondissement in Paris. The apartment was owned by a mutual friend of Kechiche and the actress.
Kechiche is famous for sharing the Palme d’Or with actresses Léa Seydoux and Adèle Exarchopoulos at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. Despite “Blue Is the Warmest Color” being championed by many critics and moviegoers, some have criticized Kechiche’s male...
