The film opens Friday (Chicago folks can catch it at the Intl Film Fest) before expanding into Seattle starting Oct. 23. It is one of her finest films in a career never lacking for them and was glad with how we got into the heart of the work in our conversation 📽️

THE MASTERMIND is one of Kelly Reichardt's finest films, a sad, funny look at a going-nowhere sad-sack whose unremarkable life is slipping through his fingers. (It's also a heist movie.)

I don't always reply to the pitches I receive from publicists (because I have a job that I do and if I did, I would never get to do my job). But here is a tip for aspiring publicists: Critics do not "write a Rotten Tomatoes review." No critics do this.

is this how CBS is gonna work now? using bari weiss's personal blog to launder poorly sourced and lightly edited stories (complete with a misspelling of mamdani's name in the headline) that would never pass muster if reported directly by a real news source?

@NewsJennifer (Jennifer Schulze) @newsjennifer.bsky.social · 1d

CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal.

THE CHAIR COMPANY: Tim Robinson makes another hilarious, rather horrifying series with his expressive acting rivaling the best work of Jim Carrey. It's a show as astute as it is anarchic, proving to be the chaotic conspiracy story for our time 📺

My review: www.thewrap.com/the-chair-co...

Tim Robinson holding up a phone to his ear while pointing at it with a perplexed expression on his face in a still from THE CHAIR COMPANY.
