"Whenever you manage, through cinema, to cast doubt on the assumed nature of things, you might be approaching something really interesting. And when you have done that once, there's no way back."

"Rosanne Pel's Donkey Days is a darkly comic exploration of family dynamics, ingeniously blending Dogme-inspired naturalism with flashes of surrealism to create a work that is at once caustic and unexpectedly tender."

Emma's first shift in the ER is marked by chaotic and traumatic cases, including maggots in a cast and a drug overdose, testing her emotional resilience.

Hello Instagram and cheers everyone! It's me, Ann. Love to you all ... and wondering how I got here!?

"The Madison" was originally billed as a spinoff of Sheridan's most famous series, "Yellowstone," but he later made it a standalone. It shares similar sensibilities - only, with less violence, Kurt Russell instead of Kevin Costner, and it's more of a tearjerker.

Every time I go a couple years without a home base here, I feel a little off-center. Though she's based in Los Angeles, she's almost always had a place somewhere in Manhattan - Gramercy, King Street, a grimy Chelsea loft with ex-husband Chris Robinson (a real-estate memory that delights her when I bring it up midway through our lunch).

A recent tragedy-exploiting television series about John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette features a character using my name and presents her as me. The choice to portray her as irritating, self-absorbed, whiny and inappropriate was no accident. But a real, living person is not a narrative device. Isn't it textbook misogyny to tear down one woman in order to build up another?

When they came in with the initial offer, it was, you know, a little... offensive. And I said I can't. I know my worth, and I can't do that. They wanted me bad enough, and they said, 'Well, we're gonna chip in'. And thank god they did because it was one of the best experiences of my entire life.

It was the first time I felt genuinely unsafe here, she says. Alongside a growing fear, childhood memories resurfaced—the internal and external racism and the exhaustion of never quite fitting in. I moved to Australia when I was seven and didn't speak English—it was a tough time for me, she admits. And then there was one particular recurring thought. There were many times when I'd wake up as a teenager and think to myself: Wouldn't life be easier if I were white?

I like to touch people,

The project was prompted by a new practice requiring all journalists or outlets who received any non-Russian funding to self-identify as "foreign agents." At first, the reactions of TV Rain on-air host Anna Nemzer and her colleagues, forced to read an absurd disclaimer at the beginning of every story, is one of typically Russian dark humor.

10 Cloverfield Lane Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman and John Gallagher Jr are locked in an underground bunker for the majority of this left-field sequel to Cloverfield, with thrilling results. In the film's final throes, Winstead's character exits the bunker, and finds that her captor was telling the truth about an alien invasion above - a twist that completely and ruinously dissipates the hard-earned tension that came before.

It was October of 2023 when Daily Wire decided that their war on liberal chocolate bars and razors should be extended to Disney and one of the company's classic fairy tales: Snow White. If you don't remember or only vaguely remember the project, that's because it was never actually made. A teaser trailer starring former Daily Wire employee Brett Cooper was released though, suggesting Snow White and the Evil Queen would directly take on Disney's live action remake.

Movies like Die My Love, starring Jennifer Lawrence, show an almost logical unravelling of a mum facing modern pressures

We believed that the fans would just eat this alive if we did it justice,
