Blankments Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Got this trailer at Pawn Sacrifice. Looks excellent, but a bit spoilery. Quote
TStechnij Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Saw this at TIFF and am interviewing the director on Tuesday! 2 Quote
La Binoche Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 The book is one of my all-time favorites. Quote
Spidey Freak Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 This didn't have a thread until now? The book is really good and avoids the major pitfalls it could have fallen into. Brie seems great and it's nice to see her getting accolades. That trailer is way too spoiler-y for my liking though. 1 Quote
TStechnij Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) My director interview for post-poned until today, but I'll post the article when I get a chance. I bet this has a great PTA this weekend. Edited October 16, 2015 by TStechnij Quote
Impact Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Whenever I see this title I think its that film the internet is obsessed with for whatever reason. Quote

Tau Ceti Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 On the art house side of things, this is my pick of the year so far. It's deeply affecting and nothing felt contrived despite the subject matter. It won't leave you. Could Tremblay actually get a nomination? I can't conceive of this movie without him. 1 Quote

He is getting a lot of buzz. I'm pissed it is major category fraud, but it'd be super neat if he did! Quote
RichWS Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 I'm trying so hard to not be hyperbolic, but this is the best movie I've seen since Her. It's absolutely extraordinary. You must see it if it's playing near you. Two hours later and the entire film is swimming around in my head. So many brilliant moments of terror, pain, hope and love. I don't know how much money it'll make or if it'll win any Oscars. Obviously in a perfect world, it would be make a lot and win all Oscars, but I'm just happy it was made. I can't wait to see it again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote
filmlover Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 What's the expansion plan for this? As in what cities on which dates? Quote
TStechnij Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 I was told by Abrahamson and A24 people that it goes nationwide this weekend. Quote

Well nationwide and wide aren't synonymous. Are you in a metroplex, city or arts district? Quote
The Stingray Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Really looking forward to this. Unfortunately I have to wait until March. Quote

The slow burn has clearly worked well so far and its PTA hold this weekend was perfect. But I think there's a danger in waiting too long before an expansion. I hope to see 400 theatres next weekend. It's being compared to Whiplash and their pattern so far is similar but I think Room can outperform it if handled right. Quote
AniNate Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Honestly, I think they ought to go wide this weekend. There's nothing else out with the kind of critical acclaim it has and it's the last chance to seize an audience before the big guns move in again. Quote
