FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION FRESH IN ALL CATEGORIES INCLUDING BEST PICTURE BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY SCARIEST HORROR FILM A twisted lovechild of Promising Young Woman and Get Out! - Rahul Desai, Film Companion With plenty of visual style and two superb lead performances, Fresh is a surprising and twisted treat of a thriller that you won't want to miss. - Ian Sandwell, Digital Spy *A top-tier horror movie from start to finish. Your chills will get chills.* -Mike McGranaghan, Aisle Seat *It’s very ambitious and well-executed for a first-time feature film, with impressive set designs and cinematography.* - Carolyn Hinds, But Why Tho? A Geek Community This is a searing example of sharp and intelligent filmmaking at its very best, and just happens to be intense entertainment as well. - Wilson Kwong, Film Inquiry *In a Promising Young Woman meets Raw sort of way, this is a memorable, stomach-churning, socially conscious horror film that has something important to say.* - Louisa Moore, Screen Zealots *Fresh is one of the most twisted, original horror film I've seen. My jaw was on the floor 30 minutes in and has remained so ever since. Sebastian Stan and Daisy Edgar-Jones are brilliant.*- Lauren Bradshaw, Fangirl Freakout **WHERE TO STREAM: HULU**

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION SPOILER ALERT IN ALL CATEGORIES INCLUDING BEST PICTURE BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR (Ben Aldridge) BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY BREAKTHROUGH (Ben Aldridge) Beautiful, devastating, and achingly honest, "Spoiler Alert" is a sweet, relatable love story — with an unsurprisingly gut-wrenching ending — about the moments that give our life meaning and the sacrifices we willingly make to pursue that meaning. - Stephanie Malone, Morbidly Beautiful Spoiler Alert is an incredibly sweet and sincere exploration of love and relationships, and also turns out to be a touching film about found family. It succeeds in exuding what we look for most this time of year: warmth. - Sara Clements, Pajiba *The story of Michael and Kit is beautiful and heart-wrenching. Fantastic casting and performance by Jim Parsons and Ben Aldridge. Bring tissues with you because you will end up in tears.* - Wendy Lee Szany, The Movie Couple Spoiler Alert is funny but not forced. Tragic but not overwrought. Romantic but not unrealistic. It hits all the beats in each of its genres while delivering a satisfying albeit devastating tragi-rom-com that says love is worth the pain. - Karl Delossantos, Smash Cut Reviews *To the film’s credit, it never wallows in false sentimentality or asks us to feel pity for these characters. I’d say more, but I don’t want to spoil the ending.* - David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle *WHERE TO STREAM: PEACOCK*

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION CHA CHA REAL SMOOTH IN ALL CATEGORIES INCLUDING BEST PICTURE BEST ACTOR (Cooper Raiff) BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS (Dakota Johnson) BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY BREAKTHROUGH (Cooper Raiff - Actor/Director/Writer) FUNNIEST COMEDY Cha Cha Real Smooth is the smash hit of Sundance 2022 – a charming crowdpleaser with a sensitive and side-splitting script and an exceptionally cast ensemble (including a career-best Dakota Johnson). - Zoë Rose Bryant, Loud and Clear Reviews *It’s Johnson who just steals this film. It’s Domino who is endlessly interesting, surprising, and maturely written–and the actress just runs with the role.* - Dan Buffa, Dose of Buffa *Do not miss this movie. It is the sleeper hit of the year. To see it is to love it. Dakota Johnson's talent has risen to the top.* - Jackie K. Cooper, jackiekcooper.com *The sophomore film and Sundance favorite from Dallas native Cooper Raiff is funny, sentimental, and proves that he’s one to watch.* - Joe Friar, Fort Worth Report *Cooper Raiff's direction is incredible, and he has so much charm as an actor. Dakota Johnson continues to impress, and this film nails almost every emotion it goes for.* - Austin Burke, Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation There’s an ache to the story of Cha Cha Real Smooth that’s highly relatable for anyone who struggled to find their way in their twenties. In the able hands of a filmmaker like Raiff, the movie is one that opens and breaks your heart in equal measures. - Alex Bentley, CultureMap *Cooper Raiff is the fresh comedic talent we’ve been waiting for.* - Johnny Oleksinski, New York Post Having several well-known actors in the cast may help sell this modest indie title to wary viewers but after seeing it I predict that people will be reacting as I did, talking about the wondrous achievements of Cooper Raiff - Leonard Maltin, leonardmaltin.com *WHERE TO STREAM: APPLETV+*

I hate that I can't even recommend one of my favorite four films in Weird since it is stuck on the horrible Roku Channel. I assume everyone who is remotely interested in Turning Red or Batman has already seen it. So if anyone needs one more movie to watch, just focus on The Menu, on HBO. The best movie on the best streamer, just like last year. As a matter of fact, even though its not eligible, everyone should watch The Suicide Squad again just for a reminder of how great it was.

The finale lingers long after viewing. - Joe Friar, Fort Worth Report With a powerhouse performance from Thandiwe Newton, God’s Country builds its way up to a gut-punch ending. Newton is synchronized with every step of Sandra's agonizing journey and sells the final shot for all it’s worth. - Robert Kojder, Flickering Myth This riveting and slow-burning western sticks with you long after the credits roll.

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TRIANGLE OF SADNESS IN ALL CATEGORIES INCLUDING BEST PICTURE BEST DIRECTOR (Ruben Ostlund) BEST ACTOR (Harris Dickinson) BEST ACTING ENSEMBLE BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY BEST EDITING FUNNIEST COMEDY *'Triangle of Sadness' satirizes high society's self-obsessed elites, making for a side-splitting, vomit-spewing, hilariously unhinged time.* - Morgan Rojas, Cinemacy *The title doesn’t effectively sell how chaotically funny and eviscerating Ruben Ostlund’s social satire is.* - Wenlei Ma, News.com.au *Triangle of Sadness is the near perfect Dark Comedy! Balancing tone, message, darkness of human nature and equally being one of the funniest films this year!* - Samuel Leggett Jr., JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS *Ruben Östund’s audacious Palme d’Or winner skewers modern social mores in a note-perfect satire.* - Karen Gordon, Original Cin *The best movie of the year!* - Fred Topel, United Press International

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION ANNA DIOP - BEST ACTRESS - NANNY [Diop] carries every scene with aplomb, and she’s rarely off-screen. - Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune Anna Diop is mesmerising. The actor has old-school movie star glamour, and her rapid emotional shifts are impressive. - Saskia Baron, The Arts Desk Thus begins our “cast Anna Diop in everything" campaign. - Meg Shields, Film School Rejects WHERE TO STREAM: AMAZON PRIME

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION VENGEANCE BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY FUNNIEST COMEDY A one-of-a-kind movie that's so wide awake and sharp-edged it marks the arrival of a potentially major filmmaker. - Owen Gleiberman, Variety A smart, subversive fish-out-of-water comedy. - John Fink, The Film Stage A thematically ambitious screenplay that cuts deep to the heart of many issues plaguing the country to this day on how disconnected we are from each other and reality itself, B.J.

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION JULIA STILES - BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS - ORPHAN: FIRST KILL Julia Stiles really goes for broke as the mother in this movie, which I really appreciate. - Amy Nicholson, FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Isabelle Fuhrman and Julia Stiles are electric to watch once its second act unfolds. - Maxance Vincent, Cultured Vultures Campy fun and a spark plug performance by Stiles who gives Fuhrman a run for her money, make this prequel a must-see. The twist is unexpected and so effective. - Joe Friar, Fort Worth Report Due to stellar performances from Fuhrman and Stiles, and the absurdity of the premise, Orphan: First Kill proves to be engaging enough for audiences. - Ferdosa Abdi, Screen Rant In Julia we trust. - Roger Moore, Movie Nation WHERE TO STREAM: PARAMOUNT+

Post subject:	Re: 2023 Movie Awards: For Your Consideration
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION GABRIEL LABELLE - BEST ACTOR - THE FABELMANS When The Fabelmans focuses on the young Sammy – played outstandingly by Gabriel LaBelle – the film soars. Watching how the maestro became one of the greatest directors of all time was an absolute delight. - Mark Johnson, Awards Daily LaBelle approaches the role with the same wonder that Spielberg must have had as a young man. It’s a beautiful performance. - Michael A. Smith, MediaMikes But Spielberg’s ultimate sign of casting brilliance comes from the discovery of Gabriel LaBelle, who plays the director himself. - Ryan McQuade, AwardsWatch He gives the best performance in The Fabelmans, IMO. It's shocking his name wasn't thrown around more during awards season outside of "Best Young Actor" awards.
