So, the live action remake of The Lion King is an animated film?
― Maria Edgelord (cryptosicko), Tuesday, December 10, 2019 6:35 AM (two hours ago)
It’s not live action and contains only animated performances so yes

Tom Hanks is phenomenal in it, all the Gondry-esque touches are cute/cool (but would have been better with Gondry), but it's mostly pretty meh

Still a bit perplexed by how well High Life (FC's #7) is doing. Belated recognition of the director? It's probably in the poorer half of Denis's output, and among 2019's "lost in space" art films I liked Aniara more.

TIFF's Canadian top 10:

I hear great things about a couple of these but I wouldn't mind if they took a year off from Dolan worship

The Body Remembers... is on Netflix, at least in Canada. I suspect Anne at 13,000 Ft will make some waves when it makes the rounds theatrically next year. (I haven't seen it but ppl I trust loved it, and it earns automatic points for its 75-minute runtime.)

Classic industry awards gravitating toward the wrong middlebrow candidates. Ergo...
I know CLEMENCY is neither widely seen nor easy to watch, but to those who have, Alfre Woodard's near no-show in this year's awards season so far looks close to absurd: no American actor this year is working at a higher level of detail, complexity and emotional intuition.— Guy Lodge (@GuyLodge) December 11, 2019
― temporarily embarrassed thousandaire (Eric H.), Wednesday, 11 December 2019 17:04 (four years ago) link
Harriet, many have been quick to point out, actually made a fairly large chunk of change. More than any other best actress candidate outside of Lupita, so far.
This feels early this year:
