    50th Los Angeles Critics Awards

    This makes two of the old guard critics groups to go for Anora on the same day. This is the kind of result we would normally expect from critics groups but it’s also not a new trend being set. We’ll just have to see how some of the others (National Society of Film Critics and…

    Seattle’s critics were primarily impressed with action films (Dune: Part Two and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga). They also liked some substantive stuff but the performance of Challengers is a bit surprising considering its release much earlier this year. They also seemed to love The Beast, which has been a non-entity this year so far.…
