Soledad O’Brien stopped by the Variety Studio presented by Audible at Sundance and scolded the American press for its coverage of Donald Trump. The former CNN host was highly critical of how the press covered Trump’s first administration, and she said her position has not changed as Trump’s second administration gets underway. “The media has

One month ahead of this year’s ceremony, France’s Cesar Academy has promised not to “spotlight” anyone accused of sexual or physical violence while issuing regulatory changes to curtail the voting rights of any Academy member facing legal accusations of that nature. If a member is ultimately convicted, they will be expelled from the Academy for
Sterling K. Brown is done crying every week. Two days before Thanksgiving, Brown is sitting at a long table in a photo studio in Culver City, digging into a take-out lunch as he begins to break down the plot of his new Hulu drama series, “Paradise.” Brown chooses his words deliberately while simultaneously ramping up
NBCUniversal is suiting up for action. The company has released the first trailer for the “Suits” spinoff “Suits: LA,” led by Stephen Amell as Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York who has reinvented himself and is representing powerful clients in Los Angeles. The new series premieres on NBC on Feb. 23. The
Like a lot of multi-platform artists, FKA Twigs’ music can be hard to remove from the larger context: the videos, the fashion, the looks, the art projects, her incredible dancing, and, most of all, the larger concepts that always accompany her music. That’s one reason why her 2022 mixtape “Caprisongs” was such a breath of
Among another impressive stack of new horror titles looking to spook audiences at this year’s Sundance, “Rabbit Trap” joins a growing library of psychological folk horrors that have recently offered more (deeply) unsettling creeps than out-and-out scares. Bowing in the Midnight slot in Park City on Friday and the feature debut of Brit director Bryn
It’s not clear whether “Severance” — Apple TV+’s mind-bending workplace thriller whose Season 2 budget reportedly topped $200 million — will deliver payback for the tech company. But Apple boss Tim Cook is doing his part to drive tune-in for Team Lumon. Cook stars in a “Severance”-themed promo video released Friday by Apple. In the
Storyboards by more than 50 famed filmmakers and animators including Martin Scorsese, Hayao Miyazaki, Federico Fellini, Steven Spielberg, Wes Anderson, and Alfred Hitchcock are set to go on display in an exhibition organised by Italy’s Prada Foundation. The show, titled “A Kind of Language: Storyboards and Other Renderings for Cinema,” will kick off Jan. 30
I’m disarmed by the way Willy Chavarria’s name shows up in my email: bookended by red heart emojis. It’s how his publicist has saved him in her phone, and soon I’m struck by how accurately it captures the iconoclastic designer. Chavarria, 57, is one of the biggest talents in fashion right now, but he’s also
“Stranger Things: The First Shadow,” the upcoming Broadway play based on the hit Netflix sci-fi drama, has added 24 performers to its company.

Country superstar Morgan Wallen will hit stadiums in 10 North American cities this summer — most of them for two-night stands, in a show of his well-established ticket-selling prowess — and will likely have a new album out by then as well, since he is naming the tour after the just-announced title of his forthcoming
The first round of Grammy performers has been revealed, including pop breakouts Sabrina Carpenter, Charli xcx and Chappell Roan, who are all nominated at the awards ceremony.

“Wolf Hall” director Peter Kosminsky is sounding the alarm about the state of U.K. high-end television, writing in evidence submitted to a parliamentary committee that the series’ second part, “The Mirror and the Light,” nearly didn’t get made. In a submission to the culture, media and sport committee’s inquiry into British film and high-end TV,
As the New Yorker magazine has its centennial year celebration in 2025, a new Netflix documentary will look at the inner workings of the prestigious and venerable publication. Marshall Curry, director of documentaries including “SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night” and “Street Fight,” is directing, also serving as producer with Xan Parker. Executive producers are Judd Apatow,
SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers for Season 3 of “The Traitors” U.K., airing on the BBC and streaming on BBC iPlayer.

“The School of Housewives,” a popular Icelandic drama that debuted last year on public broadcaster RÚV, is a major contender for this year’s Göteborg Nordic Series Script Award, the biggest prize for TV screenwriting in Scandinavia. The series turns Hekla, who, after being in and out of rehab since she was a teenager, enrolls in
Finland’s Helsinki-filmi is ready to hear “Dead Women Talking” in a new series set to be directed by Jojo Erholtz. Based on the original concept by Johanna Holvikallio – with Tua Harno as head writer – it will see two ambitious reporters, Olivia and Noora, hosting a podcast about crimes against women. But a decades-old
Fifty years ago today, 18-year-old Vera Brandes organized a concert for jazz pianist Keith Jarrett in Cologne, West Germany, which went on to make music history: a recording of the concert became the best-selling solo jazz album ever as well as the best-selling piano recording ever. Now director Ido Fluk and producers Sol Bondy and
“Mr. Nobody Against Putin,” which has its world premiere on Saturday in the World Cinema Documentary Competition section of the Sundance Film Festival, delivers an insider’s view of the impact of Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine on the lives of Russia’s children. Variety spoke to the film’s director, David Borenstein, who worked alongside Pavel “Pasha”
One of the most dehumanizing features — which is certainly a built-in component and not a bug — of the U.S. immigration system as it pertains to asylum seekers is that the applicant bears the burden of proving they have suffered enough or that they risk death in their home country in order to be
Based on the real-life experiences of co-writer and co-executive producer Nathaniel Deen, who appears at the end to bestow his approval on the dramatization and invite the audience to take its lessons to heart, “Brave the Dark” is a low-key inspirational indie that sensitively elicits empathy and sympathy without ever pushing too hard or simplifying
“Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius)” is a dazzling and definitive funk-pop documentary. It’s the second “jawn” directed by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, and he has leveled up from his first, “Summer of Soul (…or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)” — though that lyrical-flashback-to-1969-in-Harlem concert film, in its way, was beautiful. In
After nearly four decades of its one-child policy, designed to curb population growth and reform the country’s economy, China has fully removed all childrearing limits in recent years. But the cultural repercussions will be felt for generations to come, even (and especially) in the swiping apps hounded by modern singles. Violet Du Feng’s documentary “The
Most fairy tales were told and retold countless times before Walt Disney ever got his hands on them, and yet, the sensibility behind such animated classics as “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” and “Sleeping Beauty” has proven so popular on such an international scale that few know these stories’ darker origins. The family-friendly studio’s
In James Sweeney’s wise and disarmingly funny second feature, “Twinless,” two men meet in an emotional support group for those who’ve lost an identical sibling. That seems as good a place as any to talk about codependency, although it’s actually the even more universal subject of loneliness that animates Sweeney’s insightful coping comedy, which premiered
Bruno Mars and Sexyy Red pull off the ultimate crossover in the music video for their new single, “Fat, Juicy and Wet,” also starring Lady Gaga and Rosé. Both Gaga and Rosé share Top 10 hits with Mars on the latest Billboard Hot 100 — “Die With a Smile,” currently at No. 1 for a
“Does it get more Sundance than this?” Eugene Hernandez, the festival’s director, said at the opening night premiere of “Twinless,” which was being unveiled Thursday at the Eccles, Park City’s biggest venue. But the evening didn’t go off without a hitch. Shortly after Hernandez left the stage, a sizzle reel promoting the festival’s nonprofit arm
In her documentary “Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore,” the star continues to explore the at times lonesome space she has occupied since bursting on the scene in 1986: that of being a representative for deaf people, and being herself. For more than three decades, Matlin was the only deaf performer to have won an Oscar,
Four years ago, Oscar winner Marlee Matlin experienced the magic of a Sundance premiere virtually when the heartfelt indie “CODA” made its debut at the fest (it then sold for $25 million to Apple on the way to winning the Oscar for best picture). But this year, Matlin gets to enjoy Sundance in-person with the
SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers for the Season 3 finale of “The Sex Lives of College Girls.” For once, the sex lives of the college girls in “The Sex Lives of College Girls” are going all right.
