I am absolutely baffled by the reviews for The Card Counter, because the trailer looked terrible, but I guess I'll have to check it out.

Everything else looks good to great for me - aside from Dune, I am especially interested in The Lost Daughter. Sounds really interesting & different, and I love the cast.

Speaking of, I wonder why Paul Mescal is not at Venice?? Probably filming, but it's a bummer.

hi from the future... the card counter was so ????
i did not know i was going to watch some iraqi ptsd tortue movie. what kind of bait and switch

hated it

Oscar Isaac was the lone bright spot in that movie!! So bad.

I love the vast amount of praise or scorn for Dune lol

A best actor race between Oscar, Cumberbatch, and Driver would be A Thing to watch, let me tell you.
When is House of Gucci premiering, at what festival?

will smith too!

i can see gucci premiering at london or afi fest, but it might just skip festivals entirely. well see.

They hoped for Venice but it isn't finished. Can't find an update since July. Supposed to premiere wide end of Nov.

some lost daughter reactions were very passionate, seems like it deals with mothers being "bad mothers"?
