One of my favorite movies at this year’s Sundance Film Festival was Nine Days. Written and directed by Edson Oda, Nine Days is a completely original film that hit me like a ton of bricks. Without giving too much away, the film takes place in a reality between life and death where Winston Duke’s (who gives a career best performance) character is responsible for deciding who will replace a person on Earth after they have died. Once the dying soul has passed, five people emerge in this in-between reality, and Duke’s character has nine days to …
Focus Features has released a new trailer for the buzzworthy and critically acclaimed dramatic thriller Promising Young Woman. But I’m actually going to tell you up front, as someone who has seen (and loved) this movie, that you probably shouldn’t watch it. If the idea of a movie starring Carey Mulligan that absolutely rules entices you, I highly recommend just marking your calendar and avoiding all footage until then. This is a film with plenty of surprises, and in my experience was an absolute thrill to enjoy going in cold when I saw it at the 2020 Sundance …

A24 has released the first teaser trailer for the highly anticipated upcoming film Zola, which premiered in the Before Times at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival to significant buzz and largely positive reviews. The film is based on a series of tweets by a woman named A’Ziah King, which began with: “Y’all wanna hear a story about why me & this bitch here fell out? It’s kind of long but full of suspense.” This is exactly how the film begins, and what follows is an uproarious, surprising, thrilling and sharply funny journey chronicling an insane 48-hour …
Romola Garai has been entertaining audiences as an actress for the last two decades in films like Atonement and Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (underrated and she is delightful in it,) but with the upcoming horror movie Amulet, she makes the leap behind the scenes.
