I wrote something ~personal~ about my favorite film for my favorite publication.

"NASHVILLE immerses, overwhelms, and humbles me. It is a paragon of an ideal cinema." Read @Eng_Matthew's expansive personal essay on Altman's grandest film for our ongoing Reverse Shot Does It Again symposium: reverseshot.org/symposiums/ent…

"LAST SUMMER is not so much a provocation that those who know only of the logline and Breillat’s career might be led to believe. This is a master class in emotional precision." @Eng_Matthew on Catherine Breillat's LAST SUMMER. reverseshot.org/reviews/entry/…

"Older actors could have made these characters and their bond more emotionally resonant and credibly worn." @Eng_Matthew on Garth Davis's sad midwestern sci-fi FOE: #NYFF61 reverseshot.org/reviews/entry/…

Needed Michael's beautiful words on his hero and ours: the irreplaceable and eternally inspiring Terence Davies ❤️

When @SightSoundmag asked me last week to pen an obituary for Terence Davies, I was decimated. I also knew nothing I wrote in the space allotted could do justice to the films or to the human being. It was an honor to have lived with his cinema. bfi.org.uk/news/terence-d…

A highlight of my day/year/life: walking by British Museum and realizing man with shopping cart crossing street is Mike Leigh. Spoke to us for five mins. He’s in the middle of editing his next film but doesn’t know what to call it. Almost ascended when he said “Katrin Cartlidge.”


I wrote about Ira Sachs's Passages, my favorite film of 2023 so far, for @reverse_shot: reverseshot.org/reviews/entry/…

PAST LIVES is "about two people contemplating the possibilities of what could have been and what still might be, but it is also about the electric charge and covert forces that draw two bodies and souls together." Review by @Eng_Matthew: reverseshot.org/reviews/entry/…

For @reverse_shot's glorious Two Cents, I wrote about Judy Davis' phenomenal performance in Nitram, the inanity of Lydia/Linda Tár's Staten Island origins, and the Best Actress of 2022: Guslagie Malanda in Saint Omer. reverseshot.org/features/3030/…
