Months after his film American Fiction took home the Toronto Film Festival’s audience award, Jeffrey Wright is no longer on strike and able to talk to Chris Murphy about the film that resonated with him in surprisingly personal ways. Then, David Canfield talks to Charles Melton, who was as thrilled as you might imagine to share the screen with Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman in May December, and who holds his own with a performance that draws on his Army brat childhood and his insistence on never fitting into a single box.

The Actors Might Be Speaking Soon - What Will They Say?

Alexander Payne is a little bit surprised by the way people are responding to his new film, about three people who form an unlikely bond over Christmas break at a New England boarding school. But he has a hunch it's because there aren't as many movies about human relationships as there were in the early 70s, when the film is set — and he hopes audiences are ready for that kind of throwback.

The Martin Scorsese Portion of Awards Season Has Begun

First, Rebecca Ford talks to the two costume designers of Killers of the Flower Moon, who might have seemed like an unlikely duo — West, a veteran Hollywood costume designer, and O'Keefe, a member of the Osage Nation and experienced product manager — but teamed up to create some of the year's most stunning costumes.
