Three years after Andrew Haigh’s All of Us Strangers premiered to accolades at the 2023 Telluride Film Festival, the English writer-director is back in Colorado with his latest cinematic yarn, A Long Winter. Based on a short story by Colm Tóibín and starring The White Lotus’s Fred Hechinger, The Bear’s Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and future X-Man, Kit Connor, the film unfolds during one of the typically harsh winters in the Centennial State, and follows a young man named Mike (Hechinger) whose mother (Outlander’s Caitríona Balfe) has gone missing in the frozen wilderness. Early reviews out of Telluride suggest that A Long…

However, it’s been some time since a superhero film quite stole the spotlight as fervently as Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which took just 17 days to cross the $2 billion mark at the global box office, the second-fastest time in cinema history. With countless other records broken by the so-called “best Spidey adventure in 20 years,” it’s worth remembering that there is still the small matter of Avengers: Doomsday, which some are predicting will perform even better. But it isn’t just the big…

Danish filmmaker May el-Toukhy, one of the two female directors competing for the Golden Lion this year, in Venice with a sharp, searing analysis of the women thrown to the wolves in the aftermath of World War II. Women Unknown — Scandinavian in both its aesthetic and precision — was always going to be about class, complicity and survival. For a brief period, it was even going to focus on the Reformation witch hunts, before el-Toukhy found herself a little bored by the perpetrators. “The reasons they were hunting these women were just not that interesting,” she laughs to The Hollywood Reporter.…

It’s rare these days to find comedy and humanity on the same plate — and even more rare to see comedy nuzzling up to mystery. (I don’t mean mystery as in crime-solving; I mean the mystery of existence.) But Jesse Eisenberg’s “The Debut,” a small-town-theater comedy driven by big ideas, is a funny and dizzying mind-bender. It’s like “Waiting for Guffman” made by the Coen brothers at their most rivetingly unhinged. “The Debut” won’t be for everyone, but if you get onto its wavelength (which I did immediately), it sucks you into its “Twilight Zone of Sub-Broadway” vortex, even as…

As Ashley Zukerman brought Congressman Daniel Keene from page to screen over 10 gripping Silo episodes, he had his finale character, Troy, on the brain every step of the way. “I had my eye on Troy through the whole process, because there’s something the founders see in Daniel. And I thought that was important to track,” Zukerman told DECIDER over Zoom.

Though he’s…
