New York Film Critics Circle

Beyond excited for this. Hope you’ll join us at @ParisTheaterNYC!

It is with deep sadness that the New York Film Critics Circle acknowledges the passing of our longest-standing member, Rex Reed. nyfcc.com/2026/05/rex-re…

"Obsession" is deliriously pointed cautionary tale about the perils of getting what you want, and an instant contender for classic midnight-movie status. thedailybeast.com/obsessed/obses…

Much to discover in what's new on @criterionchannl and delighted that Lou Ye's An Unfinished Film, which came out briefly last year, is now there, too (reminder that his great, intricate, paranoid wartime neo-noir, Saturday Fiction, is already there): newyorker.com/culture/the-fr…

I had complicated feelings about THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2. Fun to see Streep, Hathaway, Blunt & MVP Tucci back in these roles, but this is a flimsy story with diluted conflicts that strains for substance and mostly falls short. My @THR review. hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-r…

Out this week, "Hokum" throws too much at the wall, with too little skill or enthusiasm: ign.com/articles/hokum…

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 is aware of the tension at its heart between integrity and condescension, and between labor and wealth. And while it’s often entertaining and well-acted, the film ultimately can’t reconcile these forces. vulture.com/article/in-dev…

Blue Heron, Sophy Romvari's exquisite first feature, blends meticulous observation and bold imagination; it's a story of a past that's still present, of memory as physical experience; it opens Friday at @IFCCenter and elsewhere: newyorker.com/culture/the-fr…

Anne Hathaway plays a Gaga pop star, and Michaela Coel is her designer, in #MotherMary, David Lowery's thuddingly pretentious fantasia. bit.ly/4svOE7e

Mother Mary: the definition of "not for everyone," but i loved it. Anne Hathaway cosplaying as a pseudo-religious Annie Clark… my kind of movie. my review: indiewire.com/criticism/movi…

Wrote about Mary Beth Hurt and her intricate performance in CHILLY SCENES OF WINTER. 💜

Continuing the momentum of great Brazilian cinema in the wake of THE SECRET AGENT and I'M STILL HERE, Gabriel Mascaro's magical aquatic road movie, THE BLUE TRAIL, opens in NY and LA Friday ahead of its nationwide release. A trip worth taking. hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-r…

The Drama: a bit thin as a “do you really want to know everything about your partner?” cringe-com, more effective as a (very) dark satire of living in a country that refuses to look at itself. My review: indiewire.com/criticism/movi…

"The Drama" is a torturous tone-deaf joke that won’t end. thedailybeast.com/obsessed/the-d…

"The Drama," starring #RobertPattinson and #Zendaya, is a half-funny, half-baked squirm comedy of extreme marital jitters. bit.ly/4lYpkVA

Nadav Lapid's new film, Yes, is essential viewing—wild, angry, teeming with reckless energy and barbed details, and romantically melancholy—but its form isn't as free or open as its first-person fury and quasi-documentary substance demand: newyorker.com/culture/the-fr…

Some movies are not in English and are not about movie stars in space. Here are two such aberrant films for you to watch this spring: KONTINENTAL ‘25 (from Romania) and MIROIRS, NO. 3 (from Germany). I wrote up both here: premiereparty.com/p/two-new-fore…

On Radu Jude’s “Kontinental ’25,” a sober satire about urban development, bureaucratic cruelty and the crushing mystery of complicity. truthdig.com/articles/hotel…

"You'd be completely misguided to envy what we have. It's a brutal, brutal working relationship." "Marty Supreme" co-writers Josh Safdie and Ronald Bronstein accept the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Screenplay.
