I screened 40 titles exactly in the #Cannes lineup, and here are 15 films that excited me the most. Lynne Ramsay! Oliver Hermanus! Bi Gan! Joachim Trier! Hafzia Herzi! Oh mon dieu… For @ELLEmagazine: elle.com/culture/movies…
My Sag Harbor view, earlier this eve. (Thankfully the shaaak wasn’t in the paaahnd.)



“There Are No Good Harnesses, Clips and Clamps That Keep a GoPro on a Dog” -- with Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady's "Folktales" now in theaters, a repost of @TomiLaffly's interview out of Sundance. filmmakermagazine.com/129533-heidi-e…
Look, if you’re overseeing the publicity of a movie called DOG ON TRIAL, and you didn’t, like, harass me with constant emails, I must ask…like….WHY?
People shouldn’t starve to death. They shouldn’t barely make ends meet, especially when working for an org with an obnoxiously paid CEO. They shouldn’t go bankrupt because they got sick. I can’t believe we live in a world where these ideas & values are debatable.
FOLKTALES is now playing! Q&As with Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady today thru Sunday. ifccenter.com/films/folktale…
In news that will surprise exactly no one, I LOVED Rachel Grady & Heidi Ewing’s FOLKTALES: on teens searching for meaning, sled dogs, snow-clad locations, Norse mythology and more. So honored to have interviewed them in Park City. filmmakermagazine.com/129533-heidi-e…
Aidan is such a whiny little prick. Never liked him, never will.
I know that portraying an evil dude with a giant ego as a dude with a tiny penis is crass, and in poor taste, and when they go low we should go high blah blah… BUT THIS WILL NEVER NOT BE THE FUNNIEST THING EVER and so let’s please do it forever. 🤣#SouthPark
Neon hires former Metrograph exec David Laub as SVP marketing, publicity screendaily.com/news/neon-hire…
Metrograph Pictures, the upstart distributor that launched in 2019 with an eye toward restorations and re-releases before pushing into new acquisitions ahead of Cannes 2024, is pausing all theatrical releases, IndieWire has learned. Everything we know: indiewire.com/news/breaking-…
I reviewed OH, HI out of Sundance. Opening this week—here’s me on this dark situationship comedy. Starts off promisingly enough, but goes off the rails. Molly Gordon is both great (and innocent re: the film’s shortcomings). variety.com/2025/film/revi…
Big day for our baby Audrey tomorrow. Her bandage and sutures are finally coming off after two weeks… ♥️🙏🏼
Thinking of Philip Seymour Hoffman today. Sometimes I feel like I think of him every day. It will always always always hurt....
Cruelly, FB reminded me that 6 years ago today, I watched the graceful 'A Late Quartet' at Lincoln Plaza Cinemas & @eal7nyc took this photo of me & Philip Seymour Hoffman. Neither the cinema nor the artist are with us today--I miss them dearly. PSH will forever be a heartache..💔
Instagram, please note that I know absolutely no one that you think I might know. Hope this helps.

It’s quite something to consider how much of your text exchanges & convos with your spouse end up being about the consistency and quality of your dog’s poop. (I’m sure other doggie parents, especially those caring for puppies or senior dogs, will relate.) 🙂♥️
All eyes were on Jon Stewart when he spoke for the first time defense of his friend and longtime colleague Stephen Colbert after CBS rocked the late-night world by canceling his show. trib.al/DGXoqrt
Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s CLOUD is the absolute shit. Among the definitive movies on the sinister ways of today’s capitalism. A must-see.
May I just say, growing up, I had a crush on Theo Huxtable. So sad to learn about Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s tragic passing… 💔
