RELATED: Film Festival Calendar For 2023
Director: Andrew Haigh
Distributor: Searchlight Pictures
Cast: Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Jamie Bell, Claire Foy
Deadline’s takeaway:The film asks a lot of questions, but the answers are not supplied easily. It is a challenging work as much of Andrew Haigh’s character-driven filmography often is, but one that offers rich rewards if you sign on to it at all.
Director: Jeff Nichols
Distributor: 20th Century Films
Cast: Jodie Comer, Austin Butler, Tom Hardy, Michael Shannon, Mike Faist, Boyd Holbrook, Damon Herrman, Beau Knapp, Emory Cohen, Toby Wallace, Norman Reedus, Karl Glusman
Deadline’s takeaway:Although there are many vivid and graphically bloody scenes along the way, ultimately this is a portrait of changing times, our collective need for connection and the complications therein. It is the code of the Old West as it meets the new.
Director: Alexander Payne
Distributor: Focus Features
Cast: Paul Giamatti, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Dominic Sessa, Carrie Preston, Tate Donovan, Gillian Vigman, Andrew Garman, Naheem Garcia
Deadline’s takeaway:Thank god for Alexander Payne. No startling story twists here — just the stuff of everyday lives with people thrown together by circumstances
