Thanks to controversies surrounding spit and sizzle, the polarizing Don’t Worry Darling became quite the subject of many Twitterverse watercooler gossip conversations this past fall. After debuting on digital platforms last month, Olivia Wilde’s twisty pot-boiler arrives to 4K-UHD and Blu-ray physical media on November 29, 2022. Our own staff writer Aqib Rasheed reviewed the […]
For nearly two years, the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, has fashioned itself to be above the tabloid-level gossip that often comes with the promotional buzz surrounding upcoming movies. Few movies of recent memory have had kind of head-scratching and water cooler-bursting sideshow that has followed Warner Bros’ Don’t Worry […]
Where does one even begin when talking about Don’t Worry Darling? The drama surrounding the production and promotion of the film has taken precedence over any aspect of the movie itself. In most cases, it’s important to separate the outside noise from the actual merit of the movie. However, it’s almost impossible to do that […]

What does it mean?’ It was like the rock-opera situation: ‘They’re not Beethoven.’ They were still looking for things that made sense, and this was pretty abstract.” Ringo Starr “The sequences were just suggested often by memories from […]
As we reported last week, Sight and Sound’s eighth decennial critics’ poll selecting the 100 Greatest Films of All Time brought out some changes, not only at the top of the list, where Chantal Akerman’s Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles replaced Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo, but throughout.
