There’s an admirable ambition to Jack Begert’s directorial debut, Little Death. The film, which premiered at Sundance, announces its intentions with an early scene of communal complaint. At dinner, Martin Solomon (David Schwimmer), a TV writer with directorial aspirations, laments the state of his industry. In addition to their disdain for lazy and too-sensitive audiences, he and his friend, Augustus (Fred Melamed), discuss the limitations of narrative filmmaking. Augustus argues that television allows writers to explore the interiority of multiple characters, whereas films can only really sustain one point of view.
With Little Death, Begert tries to prove Augustus wrong. The director, who co-wrote the film’s screenplay with Dani Goffstein, constructs a story plunging viewers into the ravaged emotional lives of different characters. It tries to stretch the bounds of the narrative form, to upend convention and encourage us to rethink our relationship to storytelling. It aims...

There’s a perplexing choice at the heart of “Little Death,” directed by Jack Begert, best known for his work in music videos. That choice is essentially to make two very different movies and smash them together. If you squint closely, you can see the thematic throughlines between them, both stories about addiction told through different prisms, but while one is grating, the other is deftly told. You just have to make it through the first to get to the one that is more elegantly executed.
Begert is primarily a music video director with credits like Olivia Rodrigo’s recent “get him back!” and Jack Harlow’s Fergie-sampling “First Class” under his belt. The hyperactive visual style of that genre is on full display in the first half of “Little Death,” which is narrated by a depressed, misogynistic television writer named Martin played by David Schwimmer and, eventually, Gaby Hoffmann,...

On Friday nights, IndieWire After Dark takes a feature-length beat to honor fringe cinema in the streaming age.
First, the spoiler-free pitch for one editor’s midnight movie pick — something weird and wonderful from any age of film that deserves our memorializing.
Then, the spoiler-filled aftermath as experienced by the unwitting editor attacked by this week’s recommendation.
The Pitch: Who Knows Why We Make the Memories We Do?
IMDb search results and the monolithic “critical consensus” can tell you what supposedly should come to mind when any given actor comes up in conversation. But every cinephile knows that for whatever reason performers become permanently linked to specific roles in our minds. It’s an indelible, personal assignment that can be sentimentally meaningful (Robin Williams will always be the “Aladdin” Genie in Disney adults’ hearts) — or inexplicable and circumstantial.
It wasn’t until I heard news of Julian Sands’ hiking accident,...

“The Nevers” has been canceled halfway through its first season by HBO. The Joss Whedon-created sci-fi drama will be pulled from streaming on HBO Max, along with the recently canceled HBO series “Westworld,” Variety has confirmed.
The Laura Donnelly and Ann Skelly-led “The Nevers,” which aired Part 1 of its first season in Spring 2021, was set to debut the back half of Season 1 next year on HBO. Sources close to the situation say it’s possible that the already finished batch of episodes — which were completed under new showrunner Philippa Goslett, who came on board following the exit of Whedon before the show even debuted — will air on another platform.
“Westworld” was canceled by HBO Nov. 4, just under three months after the series aired its Season 4 finale Aug. 14.

“Westworld” won’t be returning for a fifth season.
Variety is reporting that HBO has decided to cancel the sci-fi series after four seasons.
The cancellation was reportedly due to the combination of the show’s shrinking viewership (which peaked at 12 million viewers but had decreased to just 4 million) and its high production costs (reportedly more than 9 million per episode).
The series, created by the husband-and-wife producing team of Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, centred around a mysterious amusement park populated by lifelike androids, boasting a cast that included Evan Rachel Wood, Thandiwe Newton, Ed Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Tessa Thompson, Luke Hemsworth, Aaron Paul, Angela Sarafyan and James Marsden, with Ariana DeBose, Aurora Perrineau and Daniel Wu joining in the fourth season.

HBO series ‘Westworld’ has been cancelled after four seasons, the network announced on Friday. The news comes barely within three months after the series aired its Season 4 finale.
Variety is told that a multitude of factors went into the decision to end the sci-drama, including the production’s hefty price tag, combined with dwindling viewership and an ongoing evaluation of programming across the board at HBO’s new parent, Warner Bros Discovery, reports Variety.
The David Zaslav-run company has been paring back spending as part of a plan to institute 3.5 billion in cost-saving synergies, which the business has promised to find over the next three years post-April merger.
However, even on the heels of a rough third-quarter earnings report, Zaslav has continued to underline the importance of healthy content spend, and HBO has several high-profile, big-budget dramas that make it clear the premium cabler isn’t cutting back overall,...

HBO has pulled the plug on its long-running sci-fi series "Westworld." The news comes just three months after its season four finale aired on Aug. 14. Longtime viewers of the dystopian drama were transported to a future where consciousness - both human and artificial - can be harnessed and transported to other planes of existence where reality is sharper, more compelling, and deadlier than most ever imagined. For many fans, HBO's decision to cancel the series came abruptly, particularly after cliffhangers in season four left the plot line open for a final season.
"I'm gonna miss all the badass women of Westworld. And we deserved to have a proper ending to this show," one Twitter user wrote, while another Twitter user added, "westworld deserved a fifth and final season."
Other fans weren't as surprised to hear the news after the show's fourth season became increasingly confusing. Following a...

Say farewell to the amusement park of the future, as "Westworld" has been canceled by HBO after four seasons, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The announcement came nearly three months after the season 4 finale, but as recently as last month, co-showrunner Jonathan "Jonah" Nolan told Deadline that the show was still in discussions of returning. "We had always conceived of a fifth and final season," he said. "We're still in conversations with the network." Co-creator Lisa Joy echoed the sentiments and indicated the series had a planned conclusion. "Jonah and I have always had an ending in mind that we hope to reach," she said. "We have not quite reached it yet."
Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, it seems those conversations brought the series to its end. Based on the 1973 Michael Crichton film of the same name, "Westworld" is a dystopian science-fiction, neo-Western television series that was once one of HBO's most-watched shows.

HBO science-fiction series “Westworld” has been canceled by the network, IndieWire has confirmed. The news comes three months after the show’s fourth season aired its finale on August 14.
Based on the 1973 Michael Crichton film, “Westworld” focused on the staff, guests, and android residents of the eponymous wild-west themed amusement park, catering to the wealthy. Over the course of four seasons, as the Westworld “hosts” rebelled against their masters, the show expanded its scope to other theme parks run by the same company, and eventually the outside world. The show was created by husband-wife duo Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, and featured a large ensemble cast that included Evan Rachel Wood, Thandiwe Newton, Ed Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Tessa Thompson, Luke Hemsworth, Aaron Paul, Angela Sarafyan, James Marsden, Ariana DeBose, Aurora Perrineau, and Daniel Wu.

"You know what I see? Fear!" Gravitas Ventures has revealed a trailer for Where Are You, a psychological thriller mystery about a photographer. This initially premiered at the 2021 Locarno Film Festival last year, but made no impact and earned no buzz. Now it's being dumped on VOD later this month. A photographer experiencing an artistic decline begins taking his aggressions out on his super attractive artist girlfriend. When she cryptically disappears, he enters his own subconscious, descending down a spiral of mystery and madness on his search for her, as well as himself. The film's ensemble cast features Anthony Hopkins, Camille Rowe, Irakli Kvirikadze, Ray Nicholson, Angela Sarafyan, Mickey Sumner, Melora Walters, Christopher Ashman, Brad Greenquist, and Madeline Brewer. This is a very strange out-of-the-90s trailer that sells it like a "coming to Saturday night TV" movie special. Doesn't seem that exciting. ›››

This article contains spoilers for Westworld season 4 episode 8.
For as secretive as Westworld can be about its many twists and turns, sometimes the show just comes right out and tells you its ultimate ending. As it did many times for the conclusion of Westworld season 4.
Ever since midway through its third season, Westworld has been surprisingly open and upfront about the fact that the end is quickly coming for the human species. In season 3, the supercomputer Rehoboam was built specifically to keep humanity in line, control their violent impulses, and delay the inevitable apocalypse indefinitely.
Of course, human beings tend to not want to be told what to do. Caleb (Aaron Paul) destroyed Rehoboam, with Maeve’s help (Thandiwe Newton), and freed humanity to decide its own fate. Still, even after Caleb and Maeve’s heroics, Westworld never shied away from the fact that that fate would be pretty bleak.

Richard Bates Jr’s indie comedy about Californian wiccans is underdeveloped and inconsequential but maintains a constant low-level absurdity and gets by on its charm
Richard Bates Jr’s uncompromisingly downbeat and shruggingly listless indie comedy about a coven of new age Californian witches has been coolly received in some quarters. And yes, it is extremely silly, and a lot of the ideas are undeveloped. But its sheer inconsequentiality is part of the charm and however aimless and throwaway it is, there is a consistent thread and the low-level absurdity is maintained, just about. I did find myself laughing.
Thorn and Willow (played by Matthew Gray Gubler and Angela Sarafyan) are a handsome modern couple who haughtily preside over a contemporary wiccan community: a crowd of professionals who in their spare hours come to Thorn and Willow for spiritual guidance, relationship advice and to indulge in freeform dance-orientated pagan rituals dressed in floaty white garments.

Christina (Evan Rachel Wood) went on a date with Teddy (James Marsden) that forced her to question the nature of her reality, while Hale, William (Ed Harris), and Clementine (Angela Sarafyan) handle a bizarre phenomenon they call "outliers," who...
