Movie Reviews and Previews Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson in Verity Colleen Hoover strikes again, as another adaptation of the best-selling author’s work is launched into theaters with Verity. The latest Hoover-on-film comes from screenwriter Nick Antosca and director Michael Showalter, who maybe had a vibe that the source material is a bit ridiculous and shouldn’t By Sarah • Oct 05, 2026 10:42 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Connor Storrie in April X April X, a vaguely dystopian, vaguely cyberpunk sci-fi thriller is the kind of first-time film no one really remembers…unless someone involved happens to hit the Hollywood lottery. In this case, it’s star Connor Storrie, who filmed April X months before landing the role of Ilya Rozanov By Sarah • Oct 02, 2026 02:36 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Cruise in Digger There is simply no way to discuss “Digger” without spoilers. Buckle the f-ck up. No one will ever accuse filmmaker Alejandro Iñárritu of humility. No one will ever accuse Movie Star Tom Cruise of subtlety. No one will ever accuse their first collaboration, Digger, of cowardice. Digger is a By Sarah • Oct 02, 2026 11:05 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Kerry Washington showing up the boys You know what they say, no rest for the wicked, which means Netflix just keeps grinding. With East of Eden now streaming, it’s time to launch Animals, Ben Affleck’s latest as an actor-director.

Anne Hathaway Anne Hathaway: Knicks, Oscar, Verity In that order? Probably. But first, I really loved the Prabal Gurung dress that Anne Hathaway wore to the Verity premiere on Tuesday night in New York City. The shape is gorgeous, the train is so pretty, and that was the perfect hairstyle for the look. With a hair clip! By Lainey • Oct 01, 2026 11:20 am
Tom Cruise Tom Cruise: Countdown to the Spirit Tunnel The Digger review embargo has been lifted, and as expected, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s latest is polarising by the very definition of the word: at the time of this post, it’s at 51% at Rotten Tomatoes and 48% at Metacritic. Digger opens on Friday alongside Verity, the latest Colleen By Lainey • Sep 29, 2026 02:59 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Robert Pattinson in Primetime Documentarian Lance Oppenheim makes the leap to narrative feature film with Primetime, a psychological thriller/horror movie about Chris Hansen and the 2000s TV show, To Catch a Predator (Primetime is adapted by Ajon Singh from Luke Dittrich’s book, Tonight on ‘Dateline’ This Man Will Die). Primetime is a By Sarah • Sep 25, 2026 10:36 am
What Else Verity, but no Annie The Verity premiere happened tonight in London but without Anne Hathaway who was photographed around the same time in New York. Annie would never skip out on promotion if she could help it… and there’s an obvious explanation. Air travel is typically not recommended in the final weeks of By Lainey • Sep 24, 2026 04:01 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Can You Can See Everything break the Oscar doc curse? As we approach October and the trophy machine clicks into high gear, I don’t think there is a film I am more excited for than You Can See Everything, the Elizabeth Holmes documentary made by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim. We saw the first trailer last month, and now By Sarah • Sep 24, 2026 09:59 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for September 24, 2026 Dear Gossips, It was announced yesterday that a new Gremlins movie, Gremlins 3, has been pushed back to October 2028, almost a year later than the original release date which was supposed to be November 2027. But Warner Bros did drop a teaser. It’s short, but instantly recognisable for By Lainey • Sep 24, 2026 09:30 am
TIFF 2026 coverage TIFF Review: Our Lady Peace honors fans with Gail Band documentaries can be as insipid as band biopics, glossy and polished and cutting away all the rough spots in favor of presenting a favorable, often self-aggrandizing view of the musicians. Not so in Gail, a documentary that is, ostensibly, about the 30th anniversary tour of Canadian rock band By Sarah • Sep 18, 2026 02:54 pm
TIFF 2026 coverage TIFF Review: Anna Biller’s The Face of Horror Anna Biller’s 2016 film The Love Witch has ascended to cult status over the last decade, and now she is back with a new, extremely aesthetic film, this time set in medieval England and done in the style of Technicolor schlock horror (think of all those Edgar Allen Poe By Sarah • Sep 18, 2026 11:30 am
TIFF 2026 coverage TIFF Review: Mahershala Ali in Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother Mahershala Ali and filmmaker Bassam Tariq were supposed to make a Blade reboot for Marvel, but that project eventually fell apart. What emerges instead is Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother, an original action-drama starring Ali and written and directed by Tariq. It is unquestionably a far better movie By Sarah • Sep 17, 2026 02:25 pm
TIFF 2026 coverage TIFF Review: Andrew Scott in Elsinore Andrew Scott is a very fine actor, no one doubts this. He has in Elsinore, a quasi-biopic of Scottish actor Ian Charleson, what should be the role of a lifetime. Certainly, Scott pours his heart and talent into his performance, but the film around him is so unimaginative and By Sarah • Sep 17, 2026 11:37 am
Tom Cruise Tom Cruise: Greatest stunt choreo incoming As Sarah wrote in yesterday’s site open, Tom Cruise’s greatest role is that of “Tom Cruise”. She is right in saying that his GQ cover story, both in print and on video, is for all the gossip hounds. Pretty sure we’re all still screaming about it. Tom, By Lainey • Sep 17, 2026 11:07 am
