Today, Danny, Owen Wilczek, and I give our predictions for what we feel will win these seven competitive categories at Cannes, including the Palme d’Or.
For her first feature film, Le Triangle d’or, presented in the Special Screenings section at Cannes 2026, Hélène Rosselet-Ruiz joins Nandita Joshi live from the festival to discuss her work on the film. Going back to her last short, Mambo Queens, Rosselet-Ruiz’s often interrogates the intersection of femininity and class struggle, which present themselves as major themes of […]
After her first two features, Relic and Apartment 7A, Natalie Erika James has cemented herself as a regular name to watch within the horror space. James is an Australian filmmaker, and Saccharine is not only her third feature film but also her second to have its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. James often centers her filmmaking in horror around […]
Mariana Fabian joins director Jeremy Seifert for the Mountainfilm Festival premiere of Paper Town, a film that follows a paper mill that defined Canton, North Carolina, announcing its sudden closure. Filmed in real time, its is a raw look at a town blindsided by corporate silence and suspicious profit. As shock turns to anger, the people […]
Obsession is, unexpectedly, one of the most important feminist horror films of the decade. Horror is known for unreliable narrators and protagonists who are not entirely good people, but this film’s specific angle on consent in relationships makes it especially timely.
Aleshea Harris’ Is God Is, her directorial debut, is an explosive, radical entry into the upper echelon of Neo-Blaxploitation films.
For its ideas, the positioning of making Dafoe a leading actor again, and the modern character study that it tackles, Late Fame is a worthy watch. It is a small film with a big heart and grand ideas, and if you let it truly sink in, I think a lot of progress will be made for what it is trying to achieve.
An absolute must as my favorite film from the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) for 2026 is the refreshingly stylized romantic comedy Black Burns Fast. This feature-length debut film from Sandulela Asanda shines a rose-colored spotlight on the underrepresented awkward Black Lesbian experience and journey of finding love, but more importantly, finding herself.

Celebrating its 40th anniversary, Tom Cruise’s ‘Top Gun’ and follow-up ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ shed light on Cruise’s self-appointed mission to save cinema.
The Punisher: One Last Kill shows the strength of the single-presentation concept in the MCU, introducing Frank/The Punisher. In theory, it works, but in execution, the overall presentation feels repetitive and stale, only reminding us that every Marvel project is somehow connected to six more…
Power Ballad will make you feel warm and give you a lot of great laughs. It’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Carney is one of the few working directors who can walk that fine line of sentimentality without entering the cheesy territory that a lot of films like this would fall into.
So if you are visiting this galaxy this summer, here’s a list of all 12 Star Wars films released before The Mandalorian and Grogu, arranged from most to least worth your time.
Ceniza en la Boca had its World Premiere at Cannes 2026 in the Special Screenings section of the festival. The film is directed by Diego Luna and described as follows: Lucila leaves Mexico with her younger brother to reunite with their mother in Madrid, who had left a few years earlier to chase a better […]
It’s been a horror sensation since it premiered at during Midnight Madness at TIFF in 2025, but Obsession directed by Curry Barker has finally made its way to wide release after Focus Features purchased the film for $15 million.
