    It’s a world premiere. It’s excellent. It’s a filmmaker discovered at @TIFF_NET and coming back home. THE LIFE OF CHUCK is shoo-in to win #PeoplesChoice award at #tiff24 despite playing this early on day two. My bet is placed!

    A Cinderella fairytale romance, #Anora lithely shifts between comedy and drama. The film is many things at once and yet so decisively unified. It’s pure magic, says critic @BGos923.

    LIFE OF CHUCK contains multitudes… Absolutely glorious telling of this rich tale, Mike Flanagan moonwalks through the tonal shifts with rapturous ease, bringing King’s philosophical, joyful narrative to life. Brilliant, brilliant stuff #TIFF24

A face of the 1970s and 80s, her roles in Nashville, The Shining, Annie Hall, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Time Bandits, Popeye, Roxanne, and, later, Portrait of a Lady, made her famous.
