He’s even creepy describing himself. “Lusciously well written.” Lol

"There are no wasted shots and no squandered moments because the film understands that cinema is life, imbued with the power to rediscover the past, to protect the present, and to imagine a future.”

My 4-star review of Jafar Panahi’s IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT for @ebertvoices.bsky.social.

It Was Just an Accident movie review (2025) | Roger Ebert

Despite its title, you can’t find a more controlled film.

Thanks for putting it together! It helps address what I’ve missed about Film Twitter but hopefully in a new and better way.

I really like Luca’s films - CMBYN, Bones and All, Queer - but having read the original script for After The Hunt, and hearing how Luca put his thumb on the scale with this, I think I’m going to be skipping this one.

It takes a lot of hard work and the perfect alignment of movie stars to make a social drama this irredeemably awful

It’s essentially an emergency that you see One Battle After Another in the cinema immediately. Sean Penn will win an Oscar & it has the best car chase in many years. And those aren’t in the top 3 best things about the film. Jesus shitting Christ.

Troopers just violently attacked protesters, tackled several, several arrests, shoving activists and press with batons.

Thinking about him - hoping he’s had a few small beers today.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...
