This year's edition of the Telluride Film Festival has begun in earnest, and critics and attendees have already started tweeting out reactions and reviews. Three of the biggest names from the first day of screenings were Andrew Haigh's All of Us Strangers, Jeff Nichols' The Bikeriders, and Emerald Fennell's Saltburn, and reactions were wildly different for all three. Read on for more, and await reactions for more films like Rustin, The Holdovers, and Wildcat.



Early reviews are excellent for All of Us Strangers [*97*], the latest from writer-director Andrew Haigh starring Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal. See it in theaters December 22.https://t.co/d5HcVkNckJ

The Metacritic score for All of Us Strangers starts very high, at 97. Reviews are overall fantastic so far.

All of Us Strangers: another year, another hushed and haunting nuclear-grade tear-jerker starring Paul Mescal. Andrew Haigh's achingly tender, emotionally shattering ghost story is one of the very best films of the year.

Pleased to report the new Andrew Haigh is stunning. I cried so much I had to go and compose myself in the bathroom after https://t.co/AbFyij3jcE

Reviews for The Bikeriders are overall positive, with many using "biker Goodfellas" to describe the plot. The most common complaint looks to be the actors making choices that are not always complementary.

Premiering at Telluride, Jeff Nichols latest 'The Bikeriders,' a look at the rise and fall of a 1960s motorcycle club, is an uneven film but quite the showcase for Jodie Comer. https://t.co/L5nPYpf5Sw

Reviews for Saltburn are all over the place - clearly this one is going to be divisive, at best.

Emerald Fennell thinks big, bold and deeply cinematic. Her delightfully weird (and VERY British) SALTBURN establishes her as a major maker of motion pictures. My review. https://t.co/GhXsmU0Pwo #Telluride

Stylish and intriguing, Emerald Fennell's #Saltburn is an engaging watch-so a stumble in its finale can mostly be forgiven.
