April showers… don’t matter if you’re sat inside watching TV. The Disney Bundle™ ensures that this is possible in perpetuity, with the entire libraries of Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN available in whichever permutation serves your lifestyle.

This spring, Disney+ continues the rollout of “Daredevil: Born Again” and soon welcomes the return of “Andor” Season 2 (and achieving the rare astrological phase in which both Marvel and Star Wars are active on the streamer). Plenty of shows and movies will also join the Hulu library; the Emmy-winning original series “The Handmaid’s Tale” returns after a three-year hiatus with its sixth and final season, and FX will premiere the limited series “Dying for Sex” starring Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate (based on the podcast from Molly Kochan and Nikki Boyer).

Top Pick: “Andor” Season 2

The Emmy-nominated (and IndieWire-beloved) series from Tony Gilroy returns for its second and final season this spring,...

Toni Collette is an Oscar-nominated actress who has become a favorite of both the art house and mainstream crowd, ably hopping back-and-forth between small scale indie fare and big budget crowdpleasers. Let's take a look back at 14 of her greatest films, ranked worst to best.

Born in 1972 in Sydney, Australia, Collette came to the attentions of American audiences with a star-making turn in "Muriel's Wedding" (1995), which brought her a Golden Globe nomination as Best Comedy/Musical Actress. She reaped her first Oscar bid in Best Supporting Actress just four years later for "The Sixth Sense" (1999), a supernatural horror flick that scared up massive box office receipts and critical acclaim.

In addition to her Oscar success, Collette earned Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations for "Little Miss Sunshine" (2006), for which she won the SAG Awards prize for top ensemble. She contended once more at BAFTA for "About a Boy" (2002) and again with...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a franchise known for huge action blockbusters, with some deviations to their formula for applicable content, while A24 is an independent movie and television company that prioritizes an auteur’s aesthetic as well as more intimate character dynamics. Marvel capitalizes on a specific opportunity with Thunderbolts* and framed its latest marketing material for the upcoming movie within the context of the cast and crew’s A24 connection.

Kevin Feige and the MCU decision-makers clearly perceive A24 productions as having a niche filmmaking advantage, at least in terms of a project’s quality. And most importantly, the filmmakers may have purposefully brought some of those cinematic practices and perspectives to Thunderbolts*.

After all, the Thor trailer does not highlight director Kenneth Branagh’s Shakespearian background, and the advertisements for Avenger epics do not point out that many of the stars are Oscar nominees. This Thunderbolts* campaign...

I know it's hard to believe, but the final week of January promises more than frigid temps. Netflix gives you nine more reasons to stay inside this week - as if you needed an excuse.

Thrillseekers, we've got you. The second seasons of a pair of intense thrillers premiere this week - get those binging goggles ready!

a rom-com with actual depth, and a debut standup special coming to a...

Actress Scarlett Johansson finally escaped our long-running photo gallery of the greatest living actresses to never receive an Oscar nomination. And she did it in grand style by picking up two for her 2019 films “Marriage Story” and “Jojo Rabbit.” Just recently, Kirsten Dunst had been in our gallery for years and then earned her first Academy Award bid for “The Power of the Dog.” Jamie Lee Curtis was fortunately removed from the gallery with not only a nomination but win for “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Emily Blunt was finally nominated for “Oppenheimer” years after winning her first SAG Award for “A Quiet Place.” And in 2025, both Demi Moore (“The Substance”) and Zoe Saldana (“Emilia Perez”) finally got their first ever nominations.

In 2014, “Friends” star Jennifer Aniston looked like a lock to receive her first Academy Award nomination for “Cake,” following citations at the Golden Globes, SAG, and Broadcast Film Critics.

James Gandolfini is the legendary actor behind one of the most iconic roles in the history of television, the mob boss Tony Soprano from The Sopranos. Widely hailed as one of the greatest television actors of all time, the late actor’s portrayal of the complex character in the series has left an indelible mark on the landscape of TV today.

However, even with the fame and acclaim he has received, the actor did once in a rare interview reveal he does have a regret about The Sopranos. Stating that he will be making more of a conscious effort to address this after the show’s end, Gandolfini did end up doing the same.

No matter what mood, situation, or place you’re in, comedy movies can never be a bad idea, because everyone likes to have a good laugh. But sadly, people often confuse comedy films with loudmouthed slapstick humor that is known to dominate the screen. And perhaps this is why the genre of comedy is gradually fading away into oblivion.

With more people looking for drama and action films, comedy is getting sidelined in the world of entertainment. So before the classic sense of humor wanes completely, let’s take a look at 15 underrated comedies including—endearing rom-com, wry dramedy, action-comedy, and more—that’s worth every bit of your attention.

From Alan Rickman to Chadwick Boseman, these celebrated actors tragically passed away before the release of what would become their final films.MEGAAdam WestMEGA

On June 9, 2017, Batman star Adam West died at the age of 88 following a short battle with leukemia. Four months later, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment released his post-humous animated film Batman vs. Two-Face, in which he voiced Bruce Wayne/Batman's character.

Alan RickmanMEGA

Alan Rickman marked his final performance in the 2016 film Alice Through the Looking Glass. The famed Harry Potter actor, who portrayed Professor Severus Snape in the film franchise, died on January 14, 2016, after suffering from cancer. He was 69.

Anton YelchinMEGA

Anton Yelchin died on June 19, 2016. The then-27-year-old actor, who starred in Star Trek Beyond, was killed in a freak car accident in Studio City while he was on his way to meet his friends, his publicist, Jennifer Allen, confirmed at the time.

Building on what is already the largest film-related collection in the world, comprised of more than 52 million items, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed some of their most recent acquisitions today, including the Studio Ghibli animation collection, which contains more than 80 pieces of original art by Hayao Miyazaki and Noboru Yoshida, as well as the studio’s Japanese movie posters and animator’s desk. Another hot ticket item, presented at the Academy Museum Gala on October 19 in Los Angeles, is Quentin Tarantino’s personal, handwritten script for “Pulp Fiction,” which won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar and celebrated its 30th anniversary this year.

Filmmakers Curtis Hanson, Nicole Holofcener, Barbara Kopple, Oliver Stone, and Paul Verhoeven also donated their personal collections to the Academy, which features production records, photographs, scripts, and more from films such as “L.A. Confidential,” “Harlan County, U.S.A,” “Platoon,” “Showgirls,” and “Enough Said.

Between 1999 and 2007, HBO broke the mold of TV series when it ran The Sopranos. The show would go on to garner a staggering 111 Emmy nominations in that time, redefining television in the process as it broke barriers and pushed boundaries in ways that opened the door for R-Rated shows to become as commonplace as they are today. Though many cast members from it were excellent, none of the roles stood out as much as the lead character, Tony Soprano, whose portrayal became a career-defining role for James Gandolfini.

His riveting and superbly nuanced approach to the role was almost Brando-esque as it made Gandolfini the Godfather of TV mobsters. With his life indelibly marked by the character, Gandolfini went on to have a terrific career that included many supporting roles in a host of hit films like Zero Dark Thirty and The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. However, no matter how...

Steven Spielberg is coming back with yet another intriguing movie about which only a little is known till now. Earlier rumors claimed Emily Blunt is in talks for the lead role. Now, Netflix’s The Perfect Couple star, Eve Hewson is also in talks for the movie, whether for the same role or a different one is not known yet.

Emily Blunt in a still from Edge of Tomorrow | Warner Bros. Pictures

Blunt’s post-Oppenheimer box office run hasn’t been stellar. The Fall Guy came and went totally overlooked by moviegoers. With the animated movie If in the mix also not having done that great, landing a Spielberg flick could be her chance to turn things around. Missing out on this role would be a real nightmare for her!

Eve Hewson in Talks for Upcoming Steven Spielberg Movie!

Eve Hewson is reportedly eyeing a potential reunion with Steven Spielberg...

Eve Hewson is in early talks to star in Steven Spielberg’s untitled event film, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

The actress most recently starred opposite Nicole Kidman and Dakota Fanning in Netflix’s limited series, The Perfect Couple. Her other credits include Bad Sisters, Flora and Son, The Knick, Enough Said and This Must Be The Place.

Spielberg’s film would also be a reunion for Hewson and the Oscar-winning filmmaker after they first worked together on his Bridge of Spies. The 2015 film, starring Tom Hanks, follows an American lawyer who is recruited to defend an arrested Soviet spy in court during the Cold War and then helps the CIA facilitate an exchange of the spy for the Soviet-captured American U2 spy plane pilot, Francis Gary Powers.

Though little has been released about his upcoming project’s plot, it’s based on a story by Spielberg, with a screenplay by David Koepp (Jurassic Park,...

Eve Hewson is in early talks to join the upcoming untitled event film set to be directed by Steven Spielberg, TheWrap has learned. If Hewson joins the project, this would be a reunion for the pair, as Hewson was also in Spielberg’s Academy Award-winning “Bridge of Spies.” The untitled Universal project is set for release on May 16, 2026.

The actress most recently starred in the new Netflix limited series “The Perfect Couple” opposite Nicole Kidman and Dakota Fanning and she’s set to return in Season 2 of “Bad Sisters” on Apple TV+ in November. Hewson is also known as the daughter of U2 lead singer Bono.

The untitled Spielberg event film is based on a story by the writer-director with a screenplay by David Koepp, a frequent Spielberg collaborator, who also wrote the scripts for “Jurassic Park,” “War of the Worlds,” “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull...

Eve Hewson and Murray Bartlett are set for two of the lead roles in the Hulu comedy pilot “Downforce,” Variety has learned.

The pilot was originally picked up at the streamer back in May. Per the official logline, “When the owner of a storied racing team’s estranged daughter is thrust back into the family business, they have to find common ground or risk destroying the team’s legacy.”

Bartlett will star as Sir Trevor, described as “the team’s larger-than-life founder and owner.” Hewson will play his daughter, Victoria, said to be “a shrewd and ruthless investment banker who finds her way back into the front office. She knows business, he knows racing, and together they have to figure out the business of racing after years apart.”

Hewson will next be seen in the Netflix limited series “The Perfect Couple” opposite Nicole Kidman, Dakota Fanning, and Liev Schrieber. The show will debut on Sept.

Eve Hewson and Murray Bartlett are set to lead the ABC Signature comedy pilot Downforce for Hulu.

Downforce follows Victoria (Hewson), the estranged daughter of a storied racing team’s owner, Sir Trevor (Bartlett), who is thrust back into the family business, leaving the pair to find common ground or risk destroying the team’s legacy.

Sir Trevor is described as the team’s “larger-than-life founder and owner.” Victoria is “a shrewd and ruthless investment banker who finds her way back into the front office. She knows business, he knows racing, and together they have to figure out the business of racing after years apart.”

Alec Berg will direct the pilot and executive produce alongside Adam Countee, both of who have overall deals at ABC Signature. EPs also include Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey for Temple Hill, Daniel Ricciardo,...

It’s been an eventful summer for Disney, and not under ideal circumstances. After his wife’s death because of food allergies at a Disney park, a man struggled to pursue legal action against the company due to his Disney+ subscription. Then, “X-Men: 97” showrunner Beau DeMayo shared a series of posts elaborating on his termination, and his attorneys told IndieWire that he’s preparing to sue.

The headlines have people considering whether to keep subscribing this month — but if you’re a parent, there’s no real replacement. The kids can tune in to “Lego Pixar: Bricktoons,” “Chibi Tiny Tales,” “Disney Jr.’s Ariel,” and more, as well as new episodes of the K-pop series “Are You Sure?” There’s also a big Marvel premiere, but more on that below. Hulu gets a ton of new movies including the “Die Hard” franchise, “Freaky Friday” (which has a sequel in the...

James Gandolfini's last posthumous release in The Drop showcases another sinister side to his acting skills. Tom Hardy's mesmerizing performance as Bob Saginowski adds depth to the film's storyline, building tension until the climax. Despite the usual crime film tropes, The Drop's stunning cinematography and strong supporting cast make it a must-watch.

Michal R. Roskams The Drop was released in June 2014. As you probably have read from the title, this American crime film features a unique pairing. Not only that, but it came out seven years after The Sopranos series finale, it was James Gandolfinis last posthumous release (the first was a romance comedy called Enough Said) and four years out from Tom Hardys popular role as Sonys number one anti-hero, Venom.

One could argue that whatever the result turned out to be, such an independent feature is worthy of a watch based solely on these pieces of trivia.

Affleck and Damon co-wrote The Last Duel and starred in Air, which are two of their best works since Good Will Hunting. The Last Duel and Air had contrasting box office performances, with the former underperforming and the latter doing better. Upcoming projects include The Instigators, Rip, and Animals, with Damon and Affleck continuing their great collaboration.

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have been a celebrated Hollywood duo since their breakthrough hit movie Good Will Hunting. Not only did Damon and Affleck both star in the Academy Award-winning film alongside Casey Affleck, Minnie Driver, Stellan Skarsgrd, and Robin Williams, but they also co-wrote the screenplay, which earned them the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay in 1998. Since then, Damon has only written screenplays for three other movies, including Gerry (2002) and Promised Land (2012). Affleck, on the other hand, wrote the screenplays for Gone Baby Gone (2007), The Town (2010), and Live By Night (2016).

Surprisingly,...

When Nicole Holofcener was coming up in the ’90s, she was celebrated as that rare thing: a female writer-director. Today, she’s no longer a rarity, and she’s still delivering sharp, funny observational comedies about flawed middle-class New York women. But somehow, the breadth and potential of her talent remains elusive.

Hollywood gives her scripts to write and rewrite and polish (for the big bucks). She wrote, with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, “The Last Duel” for Ridley Scott, crafting the Jodie Comer character, and the Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pugh roles in Marvel’s “Black Widow.” She made more on that three-week assignment than three of her movies combined, she said at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, which tributed her this year, playing three of her films for an audience unfamiliar with her work. She’s currently writing for Gillian Anderson and Greta Lee in Disney’s latest iteration of “Tron.

Eve Hewson, once best known for being Bono's daughter, is becoming famous in her own right as an incredibly talented actress. As a young performer, Hewson held her own against veteran actors James Gandolfini and Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Enough Said. Hewson put her musical talents to use as a sweet young single mother who learns how to play the guitar in Flora and Son.

Eve Hewson may have famous parents, but she's proven with some fantastic TV and movie performances that she's talented all on her own. Paul David Hewson met Alison "Ali" Stewart when they were just teenagers before Paul adopted the stage name "Bono" and became the frontman for U2, one of the most successful bands of all time. Ali is an activist like her husband, and together, the couple has promoted fair trade and environmental issues. Bono and Ali have four children, and the second, born...

In the never-ending debate regarding which television sitcom should be considered the best of all time, it'd be incredibly difficult to leave Seinfeld out of the conversation. At the time of its original run, it was far and away from the typical sitcoms that were airing at the time. It lacked the family dynamic seen in shows like Full House and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, as well as the wholesome sentiment of Friends, but that's also what made it such a phenomenon. It was a show whose humor came from its unlikable main characters tackling absurd and often uncomfortable situations with a slightly more cynical edge. One of the show's most popular episodes, Season 4's "The Outing", is one that perfectly encapsulates the show's comedic essence.

While often seen as one of the show's best episodes, it was also one that had a somewhat troubling production compared to most of the others.

American filmmaker Nicole Holofcener is relaxed. Her legs are crossed in the yoga pose and she reclines into a large armchair with a glass of white wine perched on the side.

“I’m out of practice talking about my films, especially the older ones,” she joked. “I’ll try to remember them.”

We’re in the Czech Republic at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival where Holofcener is set to be honored this week with a career retrospective. The festival will screen three Holofcener titles, Please Give, Enough Said, and 2023’s You Hurt My Feelings. The stalwart indie filmmaker will also host an onstage Q&a about her work.

Holofcener has clocked seven features across her decades-long career, all of which explore similar themes — white middle-class families on the coasts, messy relationships, and troubled artists — with a razor-sharp consistency rarely found in Hollywood today. Holofcener has also lent her hand to television,...

Nicole Holofcener wouldn’t mind reuniting with her “Friends With Money” star Jennifer Aniston.

“Maybe we will work together again,” she says.

“She knew my movies. She knew I don’t do a lot of makeup and that she would have to look like a ‘sad girl.’ And that time in her life was very sad, too: she just split up from Brad Pitt like a month before. I think she wasn’t sure if she wanted to dive in or not, but she did, and she was a pleasure to work with.”

Holofcener isn’t gunning to cast massive celebs in her films, however.

“There was a time when I cast the wrong person to get financing and it was a disaster,” she recalls.

“Don’t fix what’s not broken. If I am having a great time with Julia Louis-Dreyfus or Catherine Keener, if they elevate me and the material,...

Actor-director Viggo Mortensen, actor Clive Owen and actor-director Daniel Brühl will be honored at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, Central and Eastern Europe’s leading movie event, which will open with Mortensen’s “The Dead Don’t Hurt.”

The festival also revealed Wednesday that director-producer Steven Soderbergh and screenwriter-director Nicole Holofcener will attend the event.

Mortensen, Owen and Brühl will each receive the Festival President’s Award.

The festival will screen Mike Nichols’ 2004 drama “Closer,” for which Owen was Oscar nominated, to mark his award.

Brühl will present his directorial debut “Next Door,” which premiered at the 2021 Berlinale, at Karlovy Vary to coincide with his award.

Soderbergh will present two of his films, “Kafka” (1991) and “Mr. Kneff” (2021), which are being shown as part of the festival’s retrospective for films inspired by the works of Kafka, titled “The Wish to Be a Red Indian: Kafka and Cinema.”

Karlovy Vary will be...

Opening night at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival often lures a top talent to accept the Kviff President’s Award, in this case Viggo Mortensen, the writer/director/star of his sophomore film, western “The Dead Don’t Hurt,” co-starring Vicky Krieps, which will open in the Czech Republic on July 4.

Every year, Kviff presents a new black-and-white short film at the opening night ceremony, to serve as a trailer of sorts for the festival. This year’s main protagonist is Oscar-winning actor and producer Benicio del Toro (“Traffic”), recipient of the Kviff President’s Award in 2022. The short film was written and directed by long-time creator of Kviff trailers Ivan Zachariáš. Del Toro took time off while shooting Wes Anderson’s new film in Berlin to work with Zachariáš, who collaborated on the trailer with cinematographer Jan Velický and editor Filip Malásek, and composed the music.

“We are glad...

Few people have had as impressive of a career in television as Julia Louis-Dreyfus has. Between Seinfeld, The New Adventures of Old Christine, and Veep, Louis-Dreyfus is tied for the most Emmy wins for a performer, and with Veep, she became the first person to win six Emmys for the same role in a series. But its high time that Louis-Dreyfus gets deserved appreciation for her film work. Beyond her work with Pixar and as a scene-stealer in recent MCU work, Louis-Dreyfus has wowed in her work with Nicole Holofcener, such as Enough Said and last years You Hurt My Feelingsboth films that focused on the very honest, relatable conflicts that arise in relationships. But quite possibly Louis-Dreyfus best film role so far comes in Daina Oniunas-Pusis fantastical dramedy Tuesday, a strange, yet emotionally resonant vision that explores grief in a wholly unique way.

When Saturday Night Live began, it wasn’t even called Saturday Night Live. That honor belonged to a rival variety show hosted by Howard Cosell that launched the same year on ABC primetime. Hence why the young, hungry, and immensely talented sketch comedians assembled in 1975 were dubbed the “Not Ready for Primetime Players.”

That earliest and now quasi-mythical first class of SNL alumni remain the only ones to hold that title. Perhaps this is because the joke stopped working after many of them proved more than capable of carrying a primetime television series. In fact, most of them went on to have successful careers on TV, the Broadway stage, and for the precious and most spectacular few… in the movies.

Ever since Chevy Chase exited SNL after its first season, the series has been viewed—sometimes to creator and producer Lorne Michaels and NBC executives’ consternation—as a launchpad for movie stardom.

If you’re looking for something new to watch on Hulu, you’ve hit the jackpot.

Upcoming directing and producing projects are expanding Toni Collette’s creative horizons, according to the Australian actress speaking at Qumra this weekend.

She will soon star in A French Pursuit, a comedy feature directed by Catherine Hardwicke. Collette will produce the film through her Vocab Films company, alongside UK producer Christopher Simon’s New Sparta Films.

“Meeting the production team we’re working with in France, casting people – it’s stuff you don’t get to do as an actor, it’s incredibly satisfying,” said Collette, speaking in Doha where she gave a masterclass to emerging filmmakers and attending industry...

In terms of new original content coming to Hulu, March is a slight month, with the streamer’s highlight being the limited series premiere of We Were the Lucky Ones at the end of the month. The show, which is based on Georgia Hunter’s New York Times bestselling novel, is inspired by the true story of a Jewish family who are separated at the start of WWII, and who then have to survive in order to eventually reunite. We Were the Lucky Ones stars Joey King from The Kissing Booth films alongside Percy Jackson‘s Logan Lerman, and debuts on March 28.

Will Speck and Josh Gordon, who have a first-look deal with Sony Pictures, are set to direct, with Oscar-nominated screenwriter Nicole Holofcener writing.

“It’s rare to read something that feels like real life, in all the best ways. .. funny, painful, cathartic and lasting. A throwback to the movies we grew up on with a modern sensibility. This is a story we can’t wait to tell,” said Speck and Gordon.

Speck, Gordon and Eric Fineman will produce through their company Speck + Gordon Inc. alongside Jonathan King and Ash Sarohia for Concordia Studio. Shary Shirazi and Kelseigh Coombs are overseeing the project for TriStar.

About Julia Louis-Dreyfus Movie 'You Hurt My Feelings'

Julia Louis-Dreyfus reunites with her...

Even though we are still two months away from finding out whether Emma Stone or Lily Gladstone will take home the Oscar for Best Actress this year, a contender has entered the race for the 2025 title. A24 has just released a trailer for its upcoming film “Tuesday,” a heart-wrenching film about a mother confronting the inevitability of her daughter’s death that stars Emmy Award-winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Watch the full “Tuesday” trailer below.

The trailer begins with a moment that captures Louis-Dreyfus’ signature comedic timing: her character tells her daughter that she does in fact know how flirting works by asking her rhetorically, “How do you think you got here?” We see how she cares for her sick child, played by Lola Petticrew, who receives a visit from a fantastical talking bird. Though the girl keeps the creature a secret from her mother for a while, it eventually reveals itself to tell Louis-Dreyfus’ character,...

The ominous task that faced Eve Hewson when she first read John Carney’s script for Flora and Son had been accepted before she even realized it.

Sure, she knew Carney’s work, almost exclusively delivering features that baked music into the very fabric of their construction. She’d seen Glen Hansard belting at the top of his lungs in Carney’s debut, Once; Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo making sweet music together in Begin Again; Ferdia Walsh-Peelo embracing ’80s pop in Sing Street. She knew what was coming, but still hoped it never would.

She fell madly in love with Flora, a single mum living in a Dublin apartment block with her delinquent teenage son Max, turning each page as Flora salvaged a guitar from a skip, had it tidied up, and gifted it to Max. She followed along as the character started taking guitar lessons by Zoom with...

Any year in which an unlikely summer double bill became a global moviegoing event — with one film soaring toward $1.5 billion in worldwide grosses and the other closing in on $1 billion — can’t be considered bad news for Hollywood. But the Barbenheimer phenomenon aside, bad news plagued the film industry for much of 2023.

The strikes of the writers and actors guilds shut down production for five long months, causing major titles like Dune 2 to push back to 2024, leaving fall festival red carpets sparsely populated and disrupting a release pipeline in ways that are sure to have a ripple effect for the next year or two.

Theatrical grosses remained inconsistent, struggling to regain pre-pandemic momentum for most genres except horror (all hail, new scream queen M3GAN; a big hand for Talk to Me), and even the once-reliable cash cow of the superhero blockbuster sputtered more often than not.

The Marvels...

Eve Hewson is one of the most talented and beautiful actresses working in the film industry. The Irish actress began her career with a 2005 short film titled Lost and Found, and after that she made her feature debut with the 2008 film The 27 Club. Hewson’s first major role was in the 2011 drama film This Must Be It and recently she starred in Apple TV+’s musical drama film Flora and Son. So, if you love Hewson’s performances here are the 10 best movies and shows starring Eve Hewson that should be on your watchlist.

Synopsis: Simona Brown plays Louise, a single mother who has an affair with her psychiatrist boss David (Tom Bateman). Her life takes a strange turn when she later befriends his wife Adele (Eve Hewson), and she finds herself caught in a web of secrets and lies where nothing is what it seems.

There may be buzz of an, as yet unspecified, Seinfeld reboot but one of its leading lights either knows as little as the rest of us – or is a very good actress.

Last week saw Jerry Seinfield, co-creator and star of the record-breaking sitcom that ran from 1989 to 1998 on NBC – 180 episodes over nine seasons – hint that he and co-creator Larry David had been thinking about tidying up the show’s ending in some way.

Seinfeld told the crowd at his stand-up show last weekend: “Something is going to happen that has to do with that ending. It hasn’t happened yet. Just what you are thinking about, Larry and I have also been thinking about. So, you’ll see.”

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who played Seinfeld’s ex-girlfriend Elaine in the show, was asked about the rumours during her press for her new film Tuesday, but professed all ignorance about any upcoming...

Among the most underrated romantic comedies ever made is Comet (2014), starring Emmy Rossum and Justin Long. Those performers got their start around the same time as one another, with Long debuting in Galaxy Quest (1999) and Rossum in Songcatcher (2000) at the turn of the century. The former film is far more famous. But Songcatcher saw great success upon release, as well. In the following year, Long starred in a horror stint called Jeepers Creepers (2001), and it was off to superstardom from there.

Meanwhile, Rossum appeared in Mystic River (2003) by Clint Eastwood, then traversed a similar trajectory. She followed up with another supporting role in The Day After Tomorrow (2004), along with the first co-starring role of her career in The Phantom of the Opera (2004). But more recent fans of Rossum's may be familiar with her versatile career thanks to her leading role as Fiona Gallagher in the hit television series Shameless. She's...

You Hurt My Feelings.At a Friday-night showing of Nicole Holofcener’s latest film You Hurt My Feelings (2023), I noticed several people who had come with their moms. Holofcener makes great films to watch with your mom, if her definition of a great film is something that will make her laugh but won't treat her like an idiot. Holofcener’s stories are smart, funny and heartwarming, a little bit sad in the right places, sophisticated but palatable. Invariably, a great actress plays the lead—Catherine Keener, for the most part, though Julia Louis-Dreyfus stars both in Enough Said (2013) and You Hurt My Feelings. In the film, Beth (Louis-Dreyfus), a writer, overhears Don (Tobias Menzies) telling her brother-in-law that he doesn't like her latest novel. It hurts her feelings. She dry retches on the sidewalk, sobs to her sister, and swears she will never look at her husband the same way again.

According to 85% of Gold Derby’s 2024 Golden Globes predictors, former Best Film Comedy/Musical Actress champion Emma Stone (2016’s “La La Land”) is practically assured a repeat victory thanks to her work in the fantasy epic “Poor Things.” Assuming this decisive opinion is truly reflective of those of Golden Globes voters, it would only make sense for her to leverage that love into a same-year Best TV Comedy Actress notice for her performance on the buzzy new Showtime series “The Curse.”

Were she to prevail on her potential bids for said big screen and small screen projects, she would make history as the youngest individual to simultaneously achieve both types of acting Golden Globe wins.

The star of Seinfeld, Veep and new film You Hurt My Feelings has barely put a foot wrong in her 40-year career. She discusses juggling parenting and working, dark days on SNL – and celebrating older women

Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Nicole Holofcener trusted each other immediately. In the early 2010s, they met to discuss whether Louis-Dreyfus would star in the indie director’s next film, the offbeat romantic comedy Enough Said. “We got along so well that I was kind of baffled we hadn’t met until then,” says Louis‑Dreyfus. She signed up.

At the first table read, Holofcener remembers her horseplay with the actor who played Seinfeld’s infamous Elaine Benes all but overshadowing the co-lead, James Gandolfini: “We could finish each other’s sentences – she so got the materials, she so got me. She would jump in with ideas that were generally fantastic. And we would laugh until we peed.

Louis-Dreyfus and Tobias Menzies lead grownup story whose bittersweet punchlines stress the bitter component

A hot button issue in recent cinema criticism – well, warm button anyway – is the eradication of intelligent mid-budget dramas in the Hollywood system. Making decently acted, well-written, approachable, middle to upper-middlebrow movies with three or four grownup leads for theatrical release used to be an honourable tradition. Now it’s getting squeezed out by franchise products, and maybe because producers dread an eye-rolling comment of “first world problems” at the pitch meeting.

But writer-director Nicole Holofcener is keeping the flag flying with her shrewd, talky movies about middle-aged anxiety. I wasn’t a fan of Friends With Money, but Enough Said, with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and the late James Gandolfini, was a terrific romantic comedy. Now there is You Hurt My Feelings, a smart, if faintly exhausting comedy about midlife disillusionment with a lot of bitter in the bittersweet.

This week’s streaming releases bring a heavy hitter in the form of a perennial Oscar contender who has been severely under-recognized over the years. Her new movie is a must-see that’s well worth the premium VOD price.

The contender to watch this week: “You Hurt My Feelings“

Nicole Holofcener should have several Best Original Screenplay nominations by now — for “Walking and Talking” and “Enough Said” in particular. She shared an adapted-screenplay nom with Jeff Whitty for “Can You Ever Forgive Me?,” but “You Hurt My Feelings” gives Holofcener another shot at her first solo recognition. It stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a novelist whose mild personal crises balloon when she overhears her husband (Tobias Menzies) saying he dislikes her new book. It’s a wise, funny, humanistic gem, like all of Holofcener’s work, and it features a euphorically good performance from Louis-Dreyfus. Rent it on VOD.

Exclusive: Eve Hewson (Flora and Son) is set to join Tessa Thompson in Hedda, the new film to be directed for MGM’s Orion Pictures and Plan B by Nia DaCosta, who is working from her own script. Details as to the role she’s playing haven’t been disclosed.

Billed as an epic and visceral reimagination of Henrik Ibsen’s famed 1891 stage play Hedda Gabler, Hedda will be produced by Plan B, DaCosta, Gabrielle Nadig, and Thompson via Viva Maude. Michael Constable will exec produce alongside Kishori Rajan for Viva Maude.

Hewson is a rising star who drew rave reviews out of Sundance for her starring turn opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt in John Carney’s Dublin-set musical dramedy Flora and Son, which was swooped on at the festival by Apple at a price just under $20M, and is slated for release this fall. The Irish actress is currently in production opposite Nicole Kidman,...

[The following story contains spoilers from You Hurt My Feelings.]

When Julia Louis-Dreyfus heard the concept behind her new movie You Hurt My Feelings, it immediately resonated with her.

The project, from writer-director Nicole Holofcener, with whom Louis-Dreyfus worked on the 2013 film Enough Said, follows Louis-Dreyfus’ author character, Beth, as she’s working on a new novel, which her longtime husband, Don (Tobias Menzies), has been telling her he adores, when she overhears Don say that he actually doesn’t like the book.

“Oh, bam! That is huge,” Louis-Dreyfus recalled thinking. “Because as a creative person, the idea that somebody would lie to you on such a fundamental level about something so personal, that spoke to me. That was more interesting to me than an infidelity, for example.”

The impact of the criticism is heightened by the fact that, as viewers learn, Beth’s father was also particularly harsh toward her, with him being characterized early...

For the third time this month, an expensive franchise sequel did decent-not-spectacular business. “The Little Mermaid” (Disney) should gross around $95.5 million for three days, around $118 million for four days. The top three films amassed all but $23 million of the holiday weekend’s $162 million total gross, down $15 million from last year.

In this summer season of expensive and familiar films, the pressure will increase for something to exceed expectations. This was a weekend that, on paper, should have had a very good shot of beating 2022. While no one expected “Mermaid” to outstrip the $126 million opening of “Top Gun: Maverick,” this weekend also had the backing of another major franchise in its second week with “Fast X” (Universal). Last year, the no. 2 film was the month-old “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” which grossed $16 million. “Fast X” grossed $23 million.

Perhaps more concerning is the comparison to Disney’s billion-dollar 2109 hits “Aladdin” and “The Lion King.

Thirty-five years after the animated story of Ariel, a flame-haired siren of the sea who falls for a prince, charmed audiences, a live-action remake of “The Little Mermaid” dominated the Memorial Day weekend box office. The Disney release is on track to debut to a massive $118 million over the four-day holiday, with $96 million of that coming over the three-day frame. It ranks as the fifth highest Memorial Day opening in history.

The film got a lift from many of the same moviegoers who first fell in love with Ariel when she flitted across the big screen in 1988, as well as from the generations of fans who weren’t alive when the original opened, but who were nevertheless weaned on the movie from its various appearances on DVD, television and, in more recent years, streaming.

“It’s a classic,” said Tony Chambers, Disney’s head of distribution. “You ask a lot...
