Keep an eye out for MONTREAL, MY BEAUTIFUL. Itโ€™s a stunning story that follows an older woman exploring her sexuality & queer desire for the first time. Joan Chen delivers a performance of astonishing nuance & vulnerability. My review: nextbestpicture.com/montreal-my-...

Catherine Oโ€™Hara Could Do Anything And she pretty much did everything. The only tragedy is that it feels like she was just beginning to get the recognition her decades-long career always deserved.

For The Ringer, I wrote about how amazing it was that the brilliant Catherine O'Hara finally became a superstar in her 60s, and how sad it is that she was taken from us just when we had all finally begun to appreciate her:

one of the reasons I think it's hard to believe Catherine O'Hara died is because she was this super rare combination of both poise and chaotic energy and so she didn't seem to have a physical age; she was just oscillating between 40 and 17 and 60 at all times.

The UK's Independent gives the film one star out of five, saying: "[The] First Lady is a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness in this ghastly bit of propaganda ... Hitting cinemas as the streets of America remain filled with the angry and grieving - with the country on the verge of an irreparable schism - the vulgar, gilded lifestyle of the Trumps makes them look like Marie Antoinette skulking in her cake-filled chateau, or Hermann Gรถring's staring up at his looted Monet."
The publication continued: "The "film" is part propaganda, sure, and part sop to Big Tech companies who require constant regulatory approval for financial manoeuvrings. Even then, it is bad. It will exist as a striking artefact - like The Birth of a Nation or Triumph of the Will - of a time when Americans willingly subordinated themselves to a political and economic oligopoly."
