LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Tilda’s amazing layers I’ve been debating for an hour whether about this outfit – not debating its amazingness (there is no debate about that) but whether or not I should have held it for the Outfit of the Week post because I can’t see how any outfit will be better than this By Lainey • Sep 05, 2018 03:25 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Suspiria: I guess we’re doing this Luca Guadagnino has established himself as one of the most luxuriously visual directors working today. So it shouldn’t be surprising he would tackle the remake of Suspiria, Dario Argento’s classic giallo film about a dancer who discovers mysterious goings-on at her dance academy, and yet, I am surprised.

LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Tilda’s tuxedo is unreal I can’t. I cannot with Tilda Swinton anymore. Because her style porn, the way it affects me, I may not survive it. This F-CKING TUXEDO IS MY LIFE. And it’s unfair. Because of course it’s been tailored specifically to her dimensions, which is why everything sits so By Lainey • Feb 19, 2018 04:21 pm
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Tilda in tweed Isle Of Dogs comes out March 23. It’s being screened at the Berlin Film Festival this week. This is a Wes Anderson film which means people will have something to say – about how peak Wes Anderson the film is, about where on the peak Wes Anderson spectrum it falls.

Movie Reviews and Previews Tilda Swinton and Jake Gyllenhaal in Okja First and most important the “animal endangerment” warning: Okja can be hard to watch. While it’s not as bloody as it could be, it’s frank about the slaughterhouse and the treatment of animals raised to slaughter in agri-business abattoirs. It’s not exploitative, but there are a couple By Sarah • Jul 07, 2017 11:40 am
Style Tilda’s hearts Straight fashion post here. Because I can’t stop staring at everything that’s happening in this outfit on Tilda Swinton. First of all, it’s my kind of dress – blousy, long, high neck, full sleeves…and a sparkly perfectly sized heart. Not too small to be inconsequential. Not too By Lainey • Jun 09, 2017 02:34 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Brad Pitt’s War Machine Brad Pitt’s Netflix movie, War Machine, probably didn’t play out as well as anyone hoped. Netflix doesn’t report box office or viewership, so there’s no real way to know how anything on the platform performs, but you can certainly tell, if you pay attention to entertainment/ By Sarah • Jun 07, 2017 10:30 am
Movie Reviews and Previews I don’t think I can watch this movie Netflix has two films at Cannes and Netflix has been the source of all the bitching at the festival because they’re insisting on theatrical release for eligibility; the new rules take effect next year. If they were in place this year, Okja, Bong Joon-ho’s highly anticipated new film, By Lainey • May 18, 2017 02:58 pm
Cannes 2017 Cannes Preview 2017 Cannes 2017 kicks off tomorrow, and the festival seems a bit muted, with a noticeable dimming of star power and no obvious Oscar bait in the line-up. That has to be deliberate—there is a real emphasis on the filmmaker, not the actor, this year. Which is good for the By Sarah • May 16, 2017 12:16 pm
Top Reads The Margaret-Tilda emails Margaret Cho has been an outspoken critic of Hollywood’s whitewashing of Asian characters and the industry’s general lack of Asian representation. Margaret starred in the first Asian-American sitcom over 20 years ago. The show lasted a single season. And, sure, it wasn’t great. But, as we’ve By Lainey • Dec 19, 2016 10:04 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Benedict Cumberbatch IS Doctor Strange Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Stephen Strange, an arrogant neurosurgeon who is great at his job but terrible at everything else. He’s arrogant, rude, belittling, and selfish, and he’s mean to Rachel McAdams which is a shorthanded way of making a character instantly unlikeable. There’s a strong similarity By Sarah • Nov 03, 2016 02:26 pm
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Tilda's gold trim Tilda Swinton is always going to kill it in a suit. Always. The question is not whether or not she can wear it well, it's whether the suit can live up to her standards. And this one totally does. The strong shoulders. The gold trim on the pockets.

LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Tilda in sparkly chartreuse On Tilda Swinton, it’s never just going to be a regular sparkly dress. Tilda doesn’t dress for the MiniVan Majority. Which is why the sleeves are formed like armour. And the chest wide like a plate. Otherwise it would have turned into something Sofia Vergara would wear. By Lainey • Oct 21, 2016 12:34 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Doctor Strange is Marvel’s only treat Warner Brothers had a good morning in Hall H on Saturday, but then it was Marvel’s turn, and Marvel came ready to play. And play they did, basically conducting their panel like a rock concert, and even though they only released one trailer to the wider public, just the By Sarah • Jul 25, 2016 10:35 am
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Tilda’s CFDA pants Well, damn. On Tilda Swinton, it’s not just a pair of pants. It’s a declaration. Like it doesn’t even all match. The stripe down the side from certain light is not the same shade as the shoe. And none of it is in the same family as By Lainey • Jun 07, 2016 02:58 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Tilda Swinton and Ralph Fiennes in A Bigger Splash Inspired by classic European cinema (specifically, La Piscine) and borrowing its title from a David Hockney painting, Luca Guadagnino’s A Bigger Splash is simultaneously gorgeous and silly. Reuniting with Tilda Swinton, following 2009’s stellar I Am Love, Guadagnino takes on the kind of laissez faire erotic thriller we By Sarah • May 19, 2016 02:51 pm
