Movie Reviews and Previews Saldaña, Gomez, and Gascón in Emilia Pérez My dislike of musicals is well documented and sometimes people will ask why I dislike musicals, and I now have a succinct answer to that question: Emilia Pérez is why I dislike musicals. Jacques Audiard’s award-winning cinematic musical embodies everything that I don’t like about the form. By Sarah • Nov 04, 2024 03:52 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Pamela Anderson is campaigning My biggest question mark for awards season this year is how seriously will the Oscar establishment take Pamela Anderson in The Last Showgirl? They SHOULD take her very seriously, because her performance is terrific. It’s so good that were it anyone else in the role, I have no doubt By Sarah • Nov 04, 2024 01:41 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Mikey Madison in Anora Sean Baker’s latest film, Anora, is drawing a lot of comparisons to Pretty Woman, and it’s easy to see why. That film is about a sex worker and a rich man falling (somewhat improbably) in love, a Cinderella story dressed up with contemporary wit. Anora is also about By Sarah • Oct 30, 2024 02:21 pm
Quiveration Paul Mescal: Smiling, Fresh, and Guitar Sarah just emphasised the word five (FIVE) in her previous post about the Gotham nominations and how many more months there are in this award season, LOL.

Amazingness Wicked… Live! There’s a conversation that’s been happening over on our Substack, The Squawk, about the Wicked marketing campaign.
