American Hostage | Show review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Coming hot on the heels of the festival premieres of Ink and Primetime – two films that examine the dark dynamics of media spectacle – American Hostage explores another facet of the same phenomenon: a bloodthirsty audience and a radio station unsure how far they are willing to go in catering to that appetite. The MGM+ production just screened its first two episodes at TIFF, and will come to the Prime Video add-on channel on 20th September. An adaptation of the 2022 scripted thriller podcast Amer
Venice Film Festival 2026: A Good Little Soldier | Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 2025, Stéphane Brizé served as a member of the official jury in Venice and helped decide which film would receive the festival’s Golden Lion. This year, he returns as a contender, vying for one of the coveted prizes himself. The French writer and director’s filmography is filled with socially conscious dramas that explore the relationship between economic systems and human lives. Anchored in the style of a workplace comedy, A Good Little Soldier (Un Métier Sérieux) builds on this ongoing fasc
Venice Film Festival 2026: Oasis | Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
School shootings have emerged as a recurring subject in films this year, forming the basis of both a pivotal reveal in a popular A24 release (which shall remain unnamed lest it be spoiled for those who haven’t seen it) and the friendship at the heart of bitter buddy comedy Our Hero, Balthazar.

German dra
Venice Film Festival 2026: Woman Unknown | Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
May el-Toukhy made waves in 2019 with her sophomore feature Queen of Hearts, an ethically probing film that even the striking Catherine Breillat tried to remake but quite couldn’t recreate. Now the Danish-Egyptian director returns with a historical drama about post-liberation Denmark’s ruthless witch hunt against suspected Nazi collaborators. Marie (Mathilde Arcel) worked as part of Christian’s (Carsten Bjørnlund) housekeeping staff before the widower chose her to become the new woman by his sid
Venice Film Festival 2026: Bunker | Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Florian Zeller gave his audience an extraordinary glimpse into life with dementia in his feature debut, The Father, for which its lead, Anthony Hopkins, went on to win his second Academy Award (alongside Zeller taking home the trophy for Best Adapted Screenplay). His follow-up, The Son, premiered in Venice 2022 and unfortunately had little of its predecessor’s sophistication. Instead of adapting the third instalment (The Mother) of his trilogy of stage plays as well, the French filmmaker’s new p
