Nearly 20 years after the release of SIDEWAYS, director Alexander Payne and actor Paul Giamatti are finally getting back together for THE HOLDOVERS, a new dramedy about a cranky teacher, a rebellious student, and a school cook who form an unlikely bond after being forced to spend the holidays at a prestigious New England prep school.
THE HOLDOVERS has the potential to find a a spot in most of the major categories like Best Picture and Best Director, but there’s a very good chance it takes home at least two: Best Original Screenplay for David Hemingson and Best Actor in a Lead Role for Paul Giamatti and his portrayal Paul Hunham, a performance that we got to see when we checked out the movie at the Toronto International Film Festival this year, and looks like his best work in years.
The legendary Martin Scorsese returns to direct this 206-minute adaptation of David Grann’s non-fiction book chronicling the investigation of murders of wealthy Osage Tribespeople in 1920s Oklahoma. Also starring Lily Gladstone, Jesse Plemons, Brendan Fraser, and more, KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON marks the first time Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro have shared the screen in a Scorsese picture, which is one factor that makes it a strong contender to be selected as an AMC Artisan Film.
Coming from two countries at odds with each other, Iranian-American Leila (Layla Mohammadi) strives to find balance and embrace her opposing cultures, while boldly challenging the labels society is so quick to project upon her. When her family reunites in New York City for her father’s heart transplant, Leila navigates her relationships from arms length in an effort to keep her “real” life separate from her family life. However, when her secret is unceremoniously revealed, so are the distinct parallels between her life and that of her mother Shireen (Niousha Noor). Punctuated by a bright color palette, snappy comedic relief, and vibrant dance numbers, THE PERSAN VERSION delivers an honest portrayal of a woman who remains unapologetically herself, blended seamlessly into a heartfelt story about family, belonging, and the undeniable influence of pop music. Winning both the Audience Award and the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award in Dramatic Competition at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, writer-director-producer Maryam Keshavarz delivers a universal and timely story of the Iranian and the Iranian-American experience.
Based on true events, RADICAL shines a light on the incredible potential children can manifest when an innovative teacher empowers them to think for themselves. RADICAL was the winner of the 2023 Sundance Festival Favorite Award.
Yorgos Lanthimos’ POOR THINGS looks like if you took elements of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” and combined them with surrealism and absurdist comedy to create a unique cinematic experience. The movie centers on a young Victorian woman named Bella (Emma Stone) as she is brought back to life and embarks upon a journey of self-discovery as she attempts to make sense of the madness.
The distinct style and tone of POOR THINGS, as well its supporting cast including Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe, makes this a movie to watch in the Best Picture, Best Director, and acting categories, especially Best Actress for Stone.
Blitz Bazawule’s THE COLOR PURPLE will combine elements of Alice Walker’s original novel and the Broadway musical of the same name to create a transformative and unique big-picture experience. Taking place over multiple decades, this highly-anticipated film will follow Celie Harris-Johnson (Fantasia Barrino) as she navigates life in the early 20th-century American South.
