Adam McKay’s star-studded Netflix comedy “Don’t Look Up” has begun screening for press, and the first reactions coming through on social media are ecstatic across the board. McKay follows Oscar winners “The Big Short” and “Vice” with a film that IndieWire’s own Anne Thompson calls “a dead serious and hilarious end of the world comedy” that feels like “‘Melancholia’ meets ‘Dr. Strangelove.'” McKay’s ensemble cast includes Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio, Meryl Streep, Rob Morgan, Jonah Hill, Mark Rylance, Cate Blanchett, Tyler Perry, Timothée Chalamet, Ron Perlman, Ariana Grande, and Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi.
Netflix’s official “Don’t Look Up” synopsis reads: “Kate Dibiasky (Lawrence), an astronomy grad student, and her professor Dr. Randall Mindy (DiCaprio) make an astounding discovery of a comet orbiting within the solar system. The problem — it’s on a direct collision course with Earth. The other problem? No one really seems to care.

With the social media embargo lifted, critical reactions have begun pouring in for “Cruella,” Disney’s latest crack at adapting an animated classic into live-action, adult-ish fare.
According to the initial reviews, the origin story of fur-crazed villainess Cruella de Vil delivers on dark humor, ’70s punk glam and wickedly good performances.
“Cruella could be the biggest surprise of the summer. Bold, dark, & wonderfully anti-Disney. Emma Stone is perfection as Cruella,” Scott Menzel of WeLiveEntertainment wrote. “Hair & Makeup, Production Design & Costume Design are sure bets for Oscars noms. Paul Walter Hauser is terrific and Winks the dog is adorable.”

Two of this year’s surprise Emmy winners were Claire Foy (“The Crown”) for Best Drama Actress and Regina King (“Seven Seconds”) for Best Limited Series/Mini Actress. Both of those ladies are also about to head into Oscar season as each of them are already garnering buzz for their performances on the big screen. Not only could we see them compete against one another for Best Supporting Actress, but the directors behind both films have previously helmed two of the most topical movies from the 2016 Oscar race.

Foy is starring opposite Ryan Gosling in “First Man” where she plays Janet Shearon, who was the first wife of astronaut Neil Armstrong. The biopic is directed by Damien Chazelle, whose last film, “La La Land,” made him the youngest person to have ever won the Oscar for Best Director.

Following its Golden Lion victory at the Venice Film Festival, Alfonso Cuarón’s “Roma” traveled to the Toronto International Film Festival and earned even more overwhelming reactions. Barry Jenkins attended the “Roma” TIFF premiere following the debut screenings of his own drama, “If Beale Street Could Talk,” just days earlier. While the “Moonlight” Oscar winner has stayed off social media since premiering “Beale Street,” he couldn’t help but send out praise to Cuarón.
“‘Roma’ is fucking glorious,” Jenkins wrote to his followers. “So wonderful to see an artist operating at peak performance level on such a personal, vigorous piece. The aesthetic is both personal and political here. The aesthetic is wielded to a wonderfully emotive, devastating effect.”
“Roma” is one of the only dramas playing all four of the major fall film festivals: Venice, Telluride, TIFF, and NYFF. The movie earned glowing reviews at its Venice world premiere, where...
