It’s not too late to pick up a thoughtful gift for the people in your life, and that includes film distributors. While much of Hollywood is shutting down in advance of the holidays, plenty of cinema-loving elves are still toiling away in hopes of seeing their (very deserving) films land underneath the metaphorical tree.
And there are plenty of gifts to share, because even as the distribution landscape continues to shift and shape with startling regularity, some of the year’s most interesting and unique cinematic efforts are still looking for a home. In fact, we’ve got 18 of them wrapped and ready to go.

Big sales were hardly in short supply at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, with Netflix going wild for “Fair Play,” AppleTV+ shelling out for “Flora and Son,” and Searchlight Pictures snapping up “Theater Camp”, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of superior films still looking for homes.
Of the still-for-sale titles that premiered at this year’s festival, there’s plenty to intrigue all sorts of buyers, from those looking for films with excellent performances that could inspire major awards pushes (like the Jonathan Majors-starring “Magazine Dreams”), those in search of the next big director, hungry genre hounds (see: “Divinity”), and even documentary lovers looking for films with incredible real world impact.
And while it’s still early days, given the incredible assortment of films still looking for homes, we can’t help but tout their allure to all interested buyers. These aren’t just...

‘Bad Behaviour’ Review: Jennifer Connelly Goes Wild in Alice Englert’s Thrilling, Darkly Funny Debut
Lucy is looking for enlightenment. Dylan wants to prove her strength. And in “Bad Behaviour,” both mother and daughter will find their way there. Well, eventually.
First off, we’ll dispatch with the sadly necessary disclaimer: Englert is, as the Internet would love for us all to repeatedly yell about for mostly boring ends, a “nepo baby.” The daughter of Oscar-winning filmmaker Jane Campion and fellow director Colin Englert, Englert has long dedicated herself to her own artistic career. She’s an actress, writer, singer, and songwriter, and with “Bad Behaviour,” she ascends to feature filmmaker status (she’s got two short films under her belt already).
Perhaps it’s the talent in her genes, perhaps it’s her unique life experience, perhaps some combo of that and more, but Englert is already a formidable, fully formed filmmaker. Dumb labels be damned: She’s the real deal, and “Bad Behaviour” is proof positive of that.

The Notebook Primer introduces readers to some of the most important figures, films, genres, and movements in film history.The Power of the DogThe New Zealand-born, Australia-based writer-director Jane Campion is one of several female filmmakers to be celebrated as having been the first of something, that consolation prize of the historically marginalized. She was the first woman to win the Palme d’Or. She wasn’t the first woman to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director, but was the second—though with The Power of the Dog she recently became the first woman ever to be nominated twice in that category, a feat befitting the film, the filmmaker, and the people for whom this accomplishment is a balefire of hope.“I would love to see more women directors because they represent half of the population,” Campion has said, “and gave birth to the whole world. Without them writing and being directors,...

Awards season continues its strong comeback as the Critics Choice Awards dominated Twitter for the week of March 7 to 14. The Sunday night show, which was originally supposed to air in January, but was delayed amid the spread of the Covid-19 omicron variant, earned nearly 1.5 million engagements on Variety’s Trending TV chart during its three-hour broadcast on The CW and TBS.
The show was co-hosted by Taye Diggs and Nicole Byers, and marked the continued return to in-person award shows following the Feb. 27 SAG Awards.
During the simultaneous Cca ceremonies in London and Los Angeles, there were several key moments that resonated with users, including a powerful speech from Halle Berry while accepting the SeeHer award, which brought Lady Gaga to tears. A self-deprecating speech from Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Billy Crystal was also a much-shared moment.
