(now in limited release streaming on MUBI TBD)Īki Kaurismäki has created the year’s driest romantic comedy with FALLEN LEAVES: a slow-building love affair between quiet Ansa (Alma Pöysti) and alcoholic Holappa (Jussi Vatanen). It’s up to us to play it outside of their limiting and exploitative constraints.įYI: Next week’s newsletter will be out on Wednesday rather than Friday due to Thanksgiving transforming the former into the latter as far as the industry is concerned. Because the more regional critics groups mention your film, the better chance Oscar voters will have the title on their minds when weeding through their own stack of screeners later on. Many of the titles sent out this past week don’t have that issue since they’ve been out for months already anyway.

A little honesty goes a long way.īut I digress. Multiple embargoes for different outlets run rampant as publicists tell you screeners aren’t available despite someone already telling you they received one.

Not that anyone should be surprised when most studios use movie reviews as marketing and thus target influencers over critics these days to boost that early Rotten Tomatoes score for opening weekend anyway. The number of critics still blocked from doing their jobs because of dwindling screenings, disabilities, and continuing COVID spikes is insane.

If only they’d be this forward-thinking during the year too. I will say that it’s great to see how many studios have fully adopted the online method so I’m not cutting DVDs in half for hours come February. The Bills season ended just in time (I jest, maybe they’ll still run the table) for Netflix boxes to adorn my front porch and digital screeners to flood my inbox.
