The timely Ukrainian war drama “Klondike” from Maryna Er Gorbach won the Grand Jury Prize, with Zia Mohajerjasbi’s Seattle-set drama “Know Your Place” earning rave reviews from audiences and winning the festival’s New American Cinema Competition. “As we celebrated our first in-person festival in three years, we were so thrilled to bring great films and new voices from across the globe,” said Beth Barrett, SIFF Artistic Director. “Creating those experiences that bring audiences around film, both in cinema and hybrid, allowed us all to connect, to learn, and to make our own world a little bigger....

“Servant” follows Philadelphia couple Dorothy (Lauren Ambrose) and Sean (Toby Kebbell) Turner (both great in their mystifying performances) who are living in a seemingly eternal nightmare after the death of their newborn son, Jericho. Dorothy refuses to believe her child is dead (however the viewer chooses to define “dead”) and uses a so-called “reborn doll” to cope with the loss. Chaos and seemingly otherwordly occurrences ensue when the couple invites mysterious nanny Leanne (Nell Tiger Free) into their home to care for the “child....

“I’m glad I saw you guys,” Eddie Griffin said, according to Hill in a chapter of “Yearbook,” when bumping into Rogen and Hill. “I saw your movie. The high school movie,” Griffin said. (Rogen and Hill collaborated on the 2007 high school comedy “Superbad,” among other films including “Sausage Party” and “This is the End.”) “I’ve been trying to make a movie for a while now, but no one will make it....

That means when Mark starts the day sitting in the parking lot, weeping uncontrollably, he has no memory of why (or that he was even crying) by the time he takes the elevator down to the windowless bowels of his office....

The “Orphan Black” Emmy winner and star of Disney+’s upcoming “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” slammed the idea of a “strong female lead” category (ahem, sorry Netflix) in a recent interview with The Guardian. “It’s reductive,” Maslany explained. “It’s just as much a shaving off of all the nuances, and just as much of a trope. It’s a box that nobody fits into. Even the phrase is frustrating. It’s as if we’re supposed to be grateful that we get to be that....

For the actress, there’s certainly an awareness of how things have progressed for women since Monroe’s day — part of Rosemary’s attraction to Pat is that the latter lives in a more permissive era — and yet so much remains mired in the past. “Being a member of the female gender sets us up for such a different life than, say, if we were a straight cisgender white male from an affluent background,” Sorvino told IndieWire in a recent Zoom conversation....
