On this week's episode we take a look at Matthew Heinemen’s A Private War, Paul Dano’s Wildlife and Joel Edgerton’s Boy Erased. We also discuss the specialty box office, Paul Dano’s visit to the Criterion Collection, the Critics Choice Award for Best Documentary of the year, actors we should pay closer attention to and inspired by Joel Edgerton’s acting/writing/directing of Boy Erased - we’ll be discussing our #CedarLee3 picks for triple threat artists.
Art House News:
At the specialty Box Office this weekend, Boy Erased continued expand into more theatres with solid per screen average results. Meanwhile, Netflix continues to buck trends and baffle the theatrical release model - to the detriment of filmmakers, filmgoers and Art House theatres.
The Broadcast Film Critics Association and the Broadcast Television Journalists Association presented the Critics Choice Documentary Awards this past weekend and Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, Free Solo and RBG all took home trophies.
Paul Dano stopped by the Criterion Collection office and discussed some of his favorite films from their collection right as his directorial debut is released in theatres.
New Films:
A Private War (dir. Matthew Heinemen)
