Commentary - I will update these soon, as Telluride and Venice wrap up, but before all the dust settles, I am going with big names like Joker: Folie à Deux, Gladiator II and Dune Part II. Blitz is Steve McQueen, A Complete Unknown is James Mangold tackling Bob Dylan, Conclave is Edward Berger's return, and The Room Next Door is Pedro Almodovar. Finally, Anora did really well at Cannes and Nickel Boys has premiered to rave reviews. Fall festivals have revealed that The Piano Lesson, Saturday Night, The Seed of the Sacred Fig, The Brutalist, A Real Pain, and Babygirl are all names to remember. Big names like Inside Out 2, Furiosa, Wicked, Hit Man, Nosferatu, Here, Juror #2, and Challengers could get the populist vote. Indies like Sing Sing, Queer, All We Imagine is Light, The Wild Robot, His Three Daughters, Maria, Hard Truths, Civil War, Bird, A Fire Inside, Nightbitch, The Bikeriders, Kinds of Kindness, and September 5 could breakthrough as we enter the critics phase.
