Last night I had the privilege through The Hollywood Reporter to watch a screener of PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN, written and directed by Emerald Fennell and starring one of my favourite actresses, Carry Mulligan. THIS IS A MUST WATCH. I can’t say this enough. Emerald is a force to be reckoned with and wrote such a raw, real and immediate story that I think 99% of women identifying people can relate to. Also Mulligan is so grounded, calm and just such a force onscreen.
Fantastical: One More Time With Feeling Mr. Fox
This is about a movie that has been out for a while now but comes from one of my favourite directors, Wes Anderson. His first children's movie, The Fantastic Mr. Fox, came out in 2009. I only realized after the fact that this director created The Royal Tenenbaums, another favourite of mine. I had felt that same joy I had during The Tenenbaums as I did in Mr. Fox. Then a wondrous friend connected the two together and I became instantly an auteur fan. For indeed, Wes Anderson is an auteur.
