As in Kiyoshi Kurosawa's PULSE, his new film CLOUD "imagines a nightmare scenario in which an aspect of technologically modulated human interaction—here, online harassment—breaches the borders of reality." Review by @FateSailor reverseshot.org/reviews/entry/…

Embeth Davidtz's DON'T LET'S GO TO THE DOGS TONIGHT is a passion project of the best kind, featuring a "disarmingly direct, uninhibited performance" from Lexi Venter that "elevates her in the cinematic pantheon of child actors." Review from Gavin Smith: reverseshot.org/reviews/entry/…

"He has a serial killer’s charm, as depthless as a saloon façade on Spahn ranch, but at the movies submitting to Cruise’s smile is just one more delirious suspension of disbelief." @patrickdahlyes with a virtuosic summary of the tao Tom Cruise screenslate.com/articles/tom-c…

How delightful to be asked to write an essay that combines my two loves: movies and piano. 32 Short Films About Glenn Gould is still as marvelous as ever.

CCriterion Collection@Criterion · Jul 2

One of the defining independent films of its era, François Girard’s provocatively splintered portrait of the great pianist toys with the mythologization of its subject. Read Michael Koresky (@reverse_shot) on THIRTY TWO SHORT FILMS ABOUT GLENN GOULD: criterion.com/current/posts/…

Rather than moral judgments on bullfighting as a tradition, "Albert Serra instead investigates the perceptual, bodily specifics through which such a practice is both produced and sustained." @lawrencengarcia reviews AFTERNOONS OF SOLITUDE: reverseshot.org/reviews/entry/…
