The movie launched to rave reviews at Venice over the weekend and sneaked into a morning TBA slot on the last day of the Telluride Film Festival, where many audience members emerged in tears. That response is likely to continue as the movie travels to the Toronto International Film Festival and later New York, where it will be — appropriately enough — the festival’s centerpiece selection. “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed” is in good hands....

Mahamat-Saleh Haroun’s slender yet riveting “Lingui, the Sacred Bonds” is a story about a woman trying to secure an abortion for her 15-year-old daughter in a country where terminating a pregnancy violates both national and religious laws, but — as its title suggests in two different languages — this soft hammer of a social drama is less concerned with the cruelties of Chad’s politics than it is with how people help each other to endure them together....

“Love and Fury” made its world premiere at Hot Docs International Documentary Festival, and was an official selection of the Seattle International Film Festival, Virginia Film Festival, and DeadCenter Film Festival. The film was produced by Harjo, along with executive producer Robin Ballenger. “The film is a conversation that I’ve wanted to have for a long time. Native art has been shackled to history by a false vision of what Native people are through the settler gaze of our current reality....

“Love Child” is a dark comedy that is being billed by the sales team as “a dark and hilarious twist on the classical Oedipal story.” The official logline for the project reads: “‘Love Child’ follows a precocious kid who schemes to rid himself of his brutish dad so he can have his mom all to himself. Things go awry when a handsome stranger appears.” “This is my first movie with a plot and my first movie taking place in Texas,” Solondz said in a statement....

Director Guadagnino has voiced his desire for a follow-up film about the affair between Oliver (Hammer) and Elio (Timothée Chalamet). “Call Me By Your Name” premiered at 2017 Sundance and went on to land four Oscar nominations, including a Best Adapted Screenplay win. “I would love to make a second and third and fourth chapter of all my movies,” Guadagnino said in a Variety cover story. “Why? Because I truly love the actors I work with, so I want to repeat the joy of doing what we did together....

“Apparently my husband BORAT is giving out money for no reason because your girl did Not make the cut in the film (news to me) but I made the cut at the nank. Last time that I checked….we were married and had two biracial children but maybe he hooked up with Pamela Anderson,” she wrote, referring to the end of the first “Borat” film, where Borat and Luenell become romantically involved after he’s rejected by Pamela Anderson....

“Tom’s a leader. And again, when you work with people at his level, there is a reason they are where they are, period. There’s no question. He’s not my best friend so I’m not talking about him personally, but I am talking about him as a professional. On set his enthusiasm never waivers. I’ve never seen it waiver. I’ve never seen somebody who loved what they did more and I’ve also never seen somebody who was so encouraging of those around him in the thing that he loves,” she said....

“There’s no way to explain what happened there,” Maron told People April 15. “I was grieving somebody that I was in love with, but also the loss of possibilities of a life that didn’t happen for us.” At the time, Maron honored Shelton on his WTF podcast by replaying their prior conversation in an interview from 2015. “My producer was like, ‘Look, man, we can take time off,’ And I’m like, ‘It might be important for me to be honest with my feelings right now,’” Maron recalled to People....

MCU star Mark Ruffalo, who will reprise his long-running role as the Hulk for Disney+ series “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,” stood by the ever-expanding Marvel franchise. “It’s not something I worry about,” Ruffalo told Metro.co.uk over whether there is an excess of Marvel content. “I understand that these things run their course and then something else comes along. But the thing Marvel has done well is that, inside the MCU, just as they do with comic books, they let a director or an actor sort of recreate each piece to their own style, their likeness....

“It was horrible! I was [miserable] in my trailer,” Streep said about the experience. “I could hear them all rocking and laughing. I was so depressed! I said, ‘Well, it’s the price you pay for being boss!’ That’s the last time I ever attempted a Method thing.” Anne Hathaway said Streep never made her feel “intimidated” despite the Method acting, adding, “I always felt cared for. I knew that whatever she was doing to create that fear, I appreciated [because] I also knew she was watching out for me....

“Bad Boys” stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as two Miami-Dade detectives who investigate a narcotics division heist. Bay alleges the 1995 action cop drama was undermined by Sony Pictures since the film had two Black lead stars. “Sony didn’t believe in the movie, because two Black actors don’t sell overseas. They had no faith in it,” Bay told Entertainment Weekly while promoting his new film, “Ambulance.” “I was watching James Cameron’s ‘True Lies’ and I’m like, Oh, my god, this guy has so much money....

The iconic “Sex and the City” character, portrayed by Kim Cattrall, has been referenced — and even texted — in revival series “And Just Like That…” despite Cattrall leaving the cast. Now, showrunner Michael Patrick King is addressing whether or not fans can expect Cattrall onscreen in possible future seasons. “No,” King told Variety when asked if the door was open for her to return. “Just like there was no thought that Kim would ever participate in ‘And Just Like That’ because she’s said what she had said…You have to look at the reality of something: You can literally not make an actress play a part....

“You get to that stage in your life and your career where you feel: ‘I’m being sort of overlooked here,’ because you are now relegated to these kinds of [minor] roles,” she said in an interview with The Guardian. “The guys seem to be doing it. They’re still like superheroes in their 60s and 70s. Why does a woman not get the opportunity to be that?” But Yeoh recently got precisely the kind of opportunity she was talking about with “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” the hit multiverse action comedy that allowed her to show off her martial arts skills and dramatic chops in equal measure....

As reported by The Independent this week, Microsoft has been granted a patent that allows the company “to make a chatbot using the personal information of deceased people.” Under the patent, Microsoft can create an artificial intelligence bot “based on images, voice data, social media posts, electronic message, and more personal information” of a deceased person.

Speaking to MTV! News (via NME), Brown admitted, “I’ve never watched a Marvel film. I’ve never watched a DC film. But I’m open to it.” She said she’d much rather watch something like “The Notebook” when she’s not working. “I’m not crazy on [Marvel or DC], because I’m doing it. I’m doing that stuff already. I want to see something that’s real,” Brown said. She also confessed she’s never seen a Harry Potter film....

He’s set up a website, iwantmoviepass.com, featuring a mailing-list signup for updates on when the new service launches. Gone is the trademark red branding, swapped out for a black-and-white text logo. Spikes, a former Motown and Miramax executive, founded MoviePass in 2011 with Hamet Watt. In its earliest years, it experimented with plans that ranged from $15 to $75, for the most expensive all-you-can watch plan. It was eventually acquired by the analytics firm Helios and Matheson....

Writer-director Nancy Meyers shut down rumors that the beloved 2006 Christmas movie will be getting a follow-up after The Sun falsely reported from an unnamed source that production would be starting in early 2023 with the original cast. “So many DM’s about this,” Meyers captioned on Instagram. “Sorry but it’s not true.” Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz starred as two lovelorn women who meet online and swap homes, with Diaz traveling to the English countryside and falling in love with Winslet’s brother, played by Jude Law....
