Cillian Murphy has been named Best Lead Actor in the film category of the Irish Film and Television Awards (IFTAs) for the second year running.

Following his win last year for Oppenheimer (which went on to bag him the Oscar), Murphy won for his role in the film Small Things Like These.

The film, an adaptation of Claire Keegan’s novella, also won Best Film.

Complete Winners List Below

An Irish-language film about Belfast rap group Kneecap was nominated in 17 award categories. The film’s director Rich Peppiatt won best director in the film category, and it was also recognised in casting and costume design.

At the ceremony in Dublin, Ireland, Friday evening, Saoirse Ronan was a double winner, taking home Best Lead Actress for The Outrun and Best Supporting Actress for The Blitz.

Ralph Fiennes and Demi Moore were winners in the international acting categories for Conclave and The Substance respectively.

Small Things Like These, an Irish drama starring Cillian Murphy as a coal merchant and father haunted by secret abuses in a local convent sanctioned by the Catholic Church, beat out Kneecap, the hip-hop comedy featuring Michael Fassbender, to win the best film honor at the Irish Film & Television Awards 2025 during a ceremony held in Dublin on Friday. Saoirse Ronan left with two awards (the lead actress honor for her role in The Outrun and the supporting actress trophy for Blitz). Murphy won the best actor IFTA for his work in Small Things Like These. Demi Moore (The Substance) and Ralph Fiennes (Conclave) were honored in the international acting categories, and Colin Farrell (The Penguin) and Sharon Horgan (for writing Bad Sisters) earned TV statuettes.

Rich Peppiatt received the best director IFTA for Kneecap, which follows the West Belfast hip-hop trio of the same name on their mission to save their mother tongue.

The Troubles, as the war of supremacy between the Protestant Irish and the Catholic Irish in North Ireland was called, has been a hotbed of extreme creativity in cinema and its various avatars generations after the conflict was over.

In Say Nothing, a nine-part series of confounding authenticity, the makers subsume the disruptive activities of characters from the Irish Republican Army in concentrated bunches, focussing on particular characters while preserving a tight hold over the larger socio-historic perspectives.

This is a remarkable achievement, bringing both the drama and history of the theme into one line of vision. At the same time, it must be said that keeping track of all the characters sprawling into nine episodes is a daunting task, as they are often played by two different actors, none of whom are known to us.

Authenticity can be quite a benign bitch. This series proves it. While I struggled...

Rising Stars Ireland, Screen International’s major talent initiative for Irish film talent held in partnership with Screen Ireland, will return for 2025. The biannual showcase of actors, writers, producers and directors on the cusp of career breakthroughs will be compiled by Screen International and announced prior to Cannes in May.

To applyplease use this Google form.Applications are now open here and will close on March 14.

This second iteration of Rising Stars Ireland aims to showcase new talent from the island of Ireland to the international industry and the selected 10 applicants will be either originally from or living and working in Ireland.

“Kneecap” — the Irish-language music biopic that became one of the buzziest indie films of 2024 and is now tipped for both Oscar and BAFTA recognition — has, perhaps unsurprisingly, emerged far ahead of the pack of nominees for the 2025 Irish Film & TV Academy (IFTA) awards.

Rich Peppiatt’s raucous comedy, about (and starring) the Belfast rap trio of the same name, has landed an astonishing 17 nominations for the awards, including best film, director, three of the six slots for lead actor, three of the six for supporting actress and one for Michael Fassbender in the supporting actor category.

“Small Things Like These,” the considerably quieter Irish drama fronted (and produced) by Cillian Murphy has nine nominations, including lead actor for Murphy, who won the award last year for “Oppenheimer.”

Having been co-produced by Irish company Tailored Films, Ali Abbasi’s Donald Trump biopic “The Apprentice” is also in the mix, with four nominations.

Nominations are out for the 2025 Irish Film & Television Awards with the Cillian Murphy drama Small Things Like These and the music comedy Kneecap among the tipped films. Scroll down for the full list of nominees.

Small Things Like These has nods in Best Screenplay, Lead Actor for Murphy, and Best Film. Other Best Film nominees include Donald Trump biopic The Apprentice, King Frankie, and Kneecap.

Kneecap has a strong showing across the noms, with nods in Best Director for Rich Peppiatt and all three of the film’s leads pop up in Best Actor. Paul Mescal also received a Best Actor nomination for his role in Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II.

On the TV side, Sharon Horgan’s Bad Sisters is nominated for Best Drama while the Eddie Redmayne thriller The Day of the Jackal has multiple noms, including Best Director for a Drama Series.

The Irish Film & Television Academy...

Lola Petticrew, an Irish actor whose career has only recently gotten started, has had a recent run of movie and television performances that is setting up the actor for an impressive and celebrated filmography that fans will want to keep an eye on. Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Petticrew began their professional career with the 2017 short film, Sparrow. Mainstream work came the next year, in 2018, when Petticrew appeared in small roles in Come Home and Next of Kin. While they would go on to have a notable movie career, it's TV where Petticrew has made the biggest impact.

Petticrew has identified as queer and non-binary since they were 14, though they consider their work in Dating Amber, a coming-of-age dramedy about two closeted teens in 1990s Ireland, as the moment they learned to fully embrace their gender and sexuality (via TheQueerReview). For most of their career, Petticrew has appeared in Irish TV and movie productions,...

A new historical drama is making waves on the streaming charts. With the year coming to a close, Shgun may well be synonymous with the genre. The epic, from creators Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks, and based on the novel by James Clavell, swept the Emmys and will be returning for Shgun season 2. But there have been other standouts.

As much as Shgun dominated the early months of 2024, it's also been a solid year for well-known directors helping to spotlight historical dramas. Apple TV+ had Masters of the Air, from the producing team of Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, which was well-received. HBO had The Sympathizer from acclaimed director Park Chan-wook, a war drama that boasted one of the best premiere episodes on the small screen. Now, a new entry on the streaming charts is another excellent addition.

Say Nothing Is A Streaming Hit It's Also A Favorite With Critics

Exclusive: There’s fire and anger in Maxine Peake’s portrayal of Dolours Price in new FX drama Say Nothing.

Price, in her younger years, was one of the Irish Republican Army’s most feared paramilitary operatives, responsible, along with her younger sister Marian, for atrocities in London and Northern Ireland during the so-called Troubles.

Peake abhors that phrase. “It’s such a flimsy word, isn’t it?” she argues. “The country was occupied, the English came, and it was a war.”

The Troubles, she continues, is a feeble way of describing “something so horrific and something that the legacy continues on and on.”

Peake is one of the best actors of her generation. She’s an expert comedienne — watch her in Dinnerladies,Inside No. 9 or Shameless — and a breathtaking dramatic thespian. Witness her in dramas such as Little Dorrit, Silk and The Village and movies that include Peterloo...

Author Patrick Radden Keefe's "Say Nothing: A True Story of Memory and Murder in Northern Ireland" was published in 2018 and was immediately acclaimed, receiving excellent reviews, appearing on The New York Times bestseller list for weeks, and winning the 2019 National Book Critics Circle Award for nonfiction. We're huge fans of the book: Fellow editor Jacob Hall and I have spoken about it on a couple episodes of our /Film Daily podcast, and we raved about how it told a propulsive, compelling story while also providing the necessary political and social context to understand the Troubles, a violent period of instability in Northern Ireland that lasted for decades.

Now "Say Nothing" has been adapted into a series on FX on Hulu. I've seen five of the nine episodes, and I'm shocked at the degree to which this adaptation manages to capture the intensity, vitality, and moral murkiness of the book.

[This story contains major spoilers from the Say Nothing finale.]

In his 2019 book Say Nothing, journalist Patrick Radden Keefe put forth a potential answer to one of the Troubles’ lingering mysteries: Who killed Jean McConville?

The author laid out a case for a conclusion that he came to after years of reporting: that Provisional Irish Republican Army volunteer Marian Price fired the bullet ultimately killing the single mother of 10 and one of Northern Ireland’s “Disappeared.” (Price said in a statement after the release of the book that she “vehemently denies” the allegations.) Accused of being an informant for the British Army during the period of sectarian conflict, McConville had been abducted from her Belfast home in 1972 by members of the Ira and killed. After decades of searching, her remains were finally discovered on a beach in Ireland in 2003. Three years later, the police ombudsman for Northern Ireland released the results of an investigation finding there was...

[Editor’s note: This interview contains spoilers for the ending of “Say Nothing.”]

When Patrick Radden Keefe’s book “Say Nothing” was released in 2018, it was an instant non-fiction hit, the kind of “Can you believe this?” true story that you’re stunned to realize you haven’t heard about before.

Subtitled “Murder and Memory in Northern Island,” the book is about the Troubles and follows the young leaders of the Irish Republican Army (Ira), but it’s also about the disappearance of a mother of 10, Jean McConville, in 1972, and how her story comes to intersect with those leaders. It’s exactly the kind of twisty, emotionally intense project that seemed destined for the screen.

“It was instantly my favorite book,” creator Joshua Zetumer said to IndieWire during a recent interview. “This story is gripping and suspenseful and emotional. It has these vivid characters that have real psychological depth. It was true, and I think it reminded me of why I...

[This story contains mild spoilers from Say Nothing.]

In FX’s explosive limited series Say Nothing, which is based on the acclaimed bestseller by Patrick Radden Keefe, actors Lola Petticrew and Maxine Peake both tackle one compelling character in Dolours Price. An infamous member of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (Ira) during the conflict in Northern Ireland known as the Troubles, Dolours and her sister Marion Price made international headlines in 1973 for their roles in bombing London’s Old Bailey courthouse — and later, while imprisoned, for a 208-day hunger strike during which British guards force fed them to prevent their deaths.

Petticrew, a 28-year-old West Belfast native, and Peake, a 50-year-old veteran actor who grew up in Manchester, England, deliver compelling performances as Dolours at different stages of her life. Petticrew plays the young radical full of fire, determination and passion in the 1970s, whose violent actions justified a greater goal; Peake, on the other hand,...

They say laughter is the best medicine, so it’s a good thing the NBC comedy machine is back up and running this week, ready to cure those Americans currently suffering from a general sense of unease. Set at an understaffed hospital in Oregon, “St. Denis Medical” is a mockumentary seemingly constructed from the well-preserved remains of some of TV’s best and brightest workplace comedies, from “Parks and Recreation” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” to “The Office” and “Abbott Elementary.”

Created by Justin Spitzer (“Superstore”) and Eric Ledgin (“American Auto”), the series — the first two episodes of which are now streaming on Peacock — features a talented cast that includes Allison Tolman, Wendi McLendon-Covey, David Alan Grier, and Josh Lawson. By filtering its comedy through an issue affecting millions of Americans — the country’s broken healthcare system — “St. Denis Medical” is both topical and funny, making it the awards contender to watch this weekend.

Over the course of nine episodes of “Say Nothing,” Lola Petticrew is put through the wringer.

The actor portrays the real-life figure Dolours Price, an Irish Republican Army leader who goes from peaceful protester to bank robber to jailed terrorist to, eventually, a woman with many regrets and ghosts. All the while she’s a loving protector to her sister, Marian (Hazel Doupe), and a young person exploring a rapidly changing world around her.

It’s the kind of role any actor, especially a relative newbie, would relish. But Petticrew also felt the responsibility to get this story — one they’d been told versions of since they were a child growing up in West Belfast — right.

“When the email came in about this show on which Dolours Price would be the lead, I immediately was like, ‘I have to do this,'” Petticrew, who uses they/them pronouns, explained. “Then I read the scripts,...

“I did things, Stephen, and I don’t even know what I think about them.”

This is Dolours Price, in a later episode of the new FX/Hulu miniseries Say Nothing. Dolours (played as a young woman by Lola Petticrew, and as an older one by Maxine Peak) has spent much of her life fighting on behalf of liberating Northern Ireland from British control. Her methods have often been violent, including the 1973 car bombing of London’s Old Bailey courthouse. And she has often been called upon to drive traitors...

Say Nothing explores the Troubles in Northern Ireland with a particular focus on the Irish Republican Army and their impact on the community in Belfast. The series is based on a 2018 novel by Patrick Radden Keefe, which offers an in-depth look at the 30-year period where the conflict in Northern Ireland peaked, and the unresolved fallout that continued to plague both those involved and innocent bystanders in the years that followed. It's challenging, complex, and full of emotion, but it's also an incredibly human story.

All episodes of Say Nothing, Hulu’s new historical drama, are now available to stream. Even though it often loses its focus, the limited series is worth watching.

Say Nothing, created by Joshua Zetumer, is based on Patrick Radden Keefe’s book of the same name, which takes place across four generations, focusing on two sisters who join the Irish Republican Army in the 1970s. Haven’t watched it yet on Hulu? No worries, there are no spoilers ahead in this review.

How do you prefer streaming releases? Do you enjoy binge-watching a series over a long weekend or tuning in for new episodes each week? I prefer the latter. Unfortunately, all episodes of Say Nothing are now available so you need to hurry and watch before you bump into spoilers online (which is why I rather tune in for new weekly episodes). Still, I do recommend you watch Say Nothing...

In 1972, a woman named Jean McConville was abducted from her home, in front of her 10 children, never to return. She was suspected of being a tout — or an informant for the British Army — and during the peak of the The Troubles, suspicion was all it took to be taken away for good. The Irish Republican Army and its sympathizers dominated Jean’s neighborhood. They were waging a war that their enemies refused to acknowledge as a war (over fears of legitimizing the opposition), which only escalated animosity among the oppressed Catholic people. Their actions — robberies, bombings, murder — demanded to be taken seriously, so even those who didn’t want to participate in the conflict found themselves caught up in it, one way or another. Jean’s way was worst of all.

But her fate is only one focal point in “Say Nothing,” the nine-episode limited series from FX Productions based...

"You might be missing your chance to win this war." FX on Hulu has debuted a second trailer for the series Say Nothing, set in Belfast during the infamous The Troubles period. It's out for streaming this week in the US. This historical drama limited series is created by Josh Zetumer for Disney+ and it's produced by FX Productions. Detailing four generations in Northern Ireland during The Troubles, it is an adaptation of the book Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Radden Keefe. The series follows the lives of people growing up in Belfast in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. Starring Lola Petticrew, Hazel Doupe, Anthony Boyle, Josh Finan, and Maxine Peake. For another great film about Belfast, Ireland, I highly recommend watching Kneecap also from this year. This series seems to be more about how a divided nation is bad and hurting each other is bad,...

Say Nothing premieres on Hulu on Thursday, Nov. 14. But is this a series you can binge-watch over the weekend or will you need to return to the streamer when new episodes drop? We have everything you need to know so you don’t miss out.

Created by Joshua Zetumer, the upcoming limited series is based on Patrick Radden Keefe’s book of the same name. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the title comes from a poem titled “Whatever You Say, Say Nothing,” by Seamus Heaney. Say Nothing follows two sisters after they join the Irish Republican Army, focusing on the 1972 kidnapping of a Belfast mother, and taking place over four generations.

It’s a clever and engaging series that will require your full attention. So if you’re searching for a series to just have playing in the background, Say Nothing is not the one! The series stars Lola Petticrew,...

Hulu’s FX-produced limited series Say Nothing, like its source book by Patrick Radden Keefe, takes its name from the striking 1975 poem “Whatever You Say, Say Nothing,” by Seamus Heaney.

It’s a sad and angry piece that looks at the unfolding tragedy of the Troubles, critiquing simultaneously the culture of enforced silence that repressed free speech within Northern Ireland and the voyeuristic instincts of the outside media covering “the Irish thing.” The poem is dazzlingly focused on speech and storytelling, the power and limitations of words in contrast to what Heaney refers to as “Northern reticence, the tight gag of place / And times.”

Keefe’s mission, and the mission of Say Nothing creator Joshua Zetumer (RoboCop, the 2014 one), is to break through the silence. To use a different metaphor, it’s about the disinfecting power of sunlight. It’s also a chronicle of Northern Ireland reported on by...

FX may have another historical drama hit on its hands, as a new series debuts with a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score. It's been a big year for the cable network, which bested competitors at the Primetime Emmys and swept the Outstanding Drama and Outstanding Comedy categories with the one-two punch of Shgun and The Bear.

While there is some disagreement about whether The Bear is actually a comedy, there is no denying the success of Shgun. The historical drama has a strong argument to make as one of the best shows of the year, delighting both audiences and critics. A new offering from FX, which streams on Hulu, aims to do the same.

The exciting limited series “Say Nothing” on Disney Plus takes viewers right into the middle of Northern Ireland’s most troubled time, turning a terrible true story into an interesting story that is part historical drama and part true crime probe. Jean McConville, a 38-year-old single mother of ten, was taken from her home in Belfast by the Irish Republican Army (Ira) in December 1972 and never seen living again. This case is at its heart.

The series is based on Patrick Radden Keefe’s well-reviewed nonfiction book of the same name. It’s not just a retelling of a single sad event; it’s a broad look at the complicated moral landscape of The Troubles. Keefe, who is the executive producer, helped create a nine-episode journey that weaves personal stories with larger political issues. The story is both complicated and heartbreaking.

The show tries to tell a big story by...

Hulu is ready with an entertainment-packed November this year. The upcoming month will see the return of some popular K-drama shows The Fiery Priest and also new original movies like Nutcrackers. Just like every month, Hulu is ready to overload you with great content. So, we’re here to tell you about the 10 new movies and TV shows coming to Hulu in November 2024.

Gangnam B-Side Season 1 (November 6)

Gangnam B-Side is an action mystery crime thriller drama series directed by Park Noo Ri from a screenplay by Jo Won Gyu. The Disney+ series is set in Gangnam, Seoul and it revolves around the disappearance of a young woman who had information about a series of disappearances. Now, a detective, an outlaw, and a Prosecutor all try to find her for their own reasons. Gangnam B-Side stars Jo Woo-jin, Ji Chang-wook,...

"I would die for a united Ireland." FX on Hulu has revealed the full trailer for a series called Say Nothing, set in Belfast during the infamous The Troubles period. This historical drama limited series is created by Josh Zetumer for Disney+ and it's produced by FX Productions. Strangely not an Irish production and not really made for either Irish or UK audiences despite being about what happened over there. Detailing four generations in Northern Ireland during The Troubles, it is an adaptation of the book Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Radden Keefe. The claim is that it's a story of "both sides", but I do wonder if there's some kind of political angle buried within. Not to mention it feels odd adding in humor. Just to say that a divided nation is bad. The series follows the lives of people...

FX is transporting viewers back to Belfast during the Troubles with “Say Nothing,” a limited series that the network released a trailer for on Wednesday.

The trailer has a sort of kiss-kiss-bang-bang ‘70s thriller tone that emphasizes the thrill of young people fighting for a radical cause. That is not the tone of journalist Patrick Radden Keefe’s excellent book on which the series is based, which is more neutral and sad. FX’s description of the show, however, hints that the show may be more like the book. “Telling the story of various Irish Republican Army (Ira) members, ‘Say Nothing’ explores the extremes some people will go to in the name of their beliefs, the way a deeply divided society can suddenly tip over into armed conflict, the long shadow of radical violence for all affected, and the emotional and psychological costs of a code of silence,” according to the network.

FX’s Say Nothing — Pictured: Lola Petticrew as Dolours Price. Cr: Rob Youngson/FX FX’s new series Say Nothing seems like it will send chills down your spine. Based on Patrick Radden Keefe’s gripping true crime book, this 9-episode limited series throws you headfirst into the turbulent world of Northern Ireland during The Troubles. The series kicks off with a mystery that’ll hook you from the start: the 1972 vanishing of Jean McConville, a mother of ten who disappeared without a trace. Her case cracks open a Pandora’s box of secrets and lies in a community fractured by conflict. But Say Nothing isn’t just your average true crime thriller. It digs deep into the political and social turmoil of the era, exploring the dangerous lengths people will go to for their beliefs and the devastating consequences of violence and silence.

If you’re a fan of...

Say Nothing is getting ready to talk.

The anticipated FX series based on the nonfiction bestselling book by Patrick Radden Keefe has dropped its trailer, previewing what’s in store when all nine episodes release Thursday, Nov. 14, on Hulu.

Described as a gripping story of murder and memory set in Northern Ireland during The Troubles, the limited series spans four decades to follow various Irish Republican Army (Ira) members, the group suspected of being behind the real-life abduction of a 38-year-old widow and mother who was taken from her Belfast home, rumored to be a British informant, and never seen again.

The logline: “The series opens with the shocking disappearance of Jean McConville, a single mother of 10 who was abducted from her home in 1972 and never seen alive again. Say Nothing explores the extremes some people will go to in the name of their beliefs, the way a deeply divided...

Hulu is becoming one of the strongest streamers out there. That’s mainly because it’s the home of all FX shows, especially the ones created specifically for Hulu. While folks like Netflix and Prime Video are looking for high profile shows that are made for the widest audiences, FX on Hulu is bringing smaller, more prestige offerings, such as the new series “Say Nothing.”

FX may just have another massive hit on its hands. The first trailer for “Say Nothing,” based on the acclaimed non-fiction bestseller by Patrick Radden Keefe, has just dropped. It tells the true story of The Troubles,” the decades-long conflict between the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, including the rise of the Irish Republican Army. As part of that, the story delves into “the Disappeared,” centering, like the book, on the mystery of a missing mother of 10.

Adapted by creator Joshua Zetumer, the primarily Irish cast includes Lola Petticrew and Hazel Doupe as Dolours and Marian Price, respectively, sisters who played vital roles in the Ira; as well as Anthony Boyle as a young Brendan Hughes and Josh Finan as leader Gerry Adams.

“They’re complicated,” Keefe said earlier this month at a screening of the show in NYC. “How you feel about them should shift. And I think that the challenge for us,...

October was huge for Disney+ and Hulu — but which month isn’t? After the weekly installments of “Agatha All Along” and the staple that is Huluween, the bundled streamers gear up for winter programming this November.

Disney+ continues to be the home for live episodes of “Dancing With the Stars” and the original series “Ayla & The Mirrors,” which continues to air new episodes. Along with new children’s programming and holiday specials like “An Almost Christmas Story,” the streamer will premiere “The Music of John Williams” on November 1, celebrating the acclaimed film composer and his decades-long career with new footage and interviews from those he worked with and inspired.

It’s another big month for movies coming to Hulu, as well as beloved shows like “Ally McBeal” (complete series). Stay tuned for an adaptation of Charles Yu’s “Interior Chinatown” and the docuseries “It’s All Country,” as well as...

This week’s top pick, “The Last of the Sea Women,” isn’t a top-tier Best Documentary contender, but it’s in the conversation, thanks to its moving subject matter, beautiful cinematography, and Netpac Prize win at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The A24-produced doc tells the story of the haenyeo divers of South Korea’s Jeju Island. For centuries, women have been diving — without oxygen — to the ocean floor to harvest seafood for their livelihood. But most of the current haenyeo are senior citizens, and their traditional way of life is threatened by modernity and climate change. But the haenyeo are feisty old scrappers, and they fight back against polluters using social media as a messaging and recruitment tool. You’ll want to join them after you see their camaraderie and resilience. It’s now streaming on Apple TV+.

Here are some other movies to stream this weekend:...

Anthony Boyle knew his latest TV project had a high bar to clear. The actor, a Broadway vet who recently portrayed John Wilkes Booth in “Manhunt,” took on the role of Brendan Hughes in FX’s upcoming “Say Nothing,” based on the beloved nonfiction bestseller of the same name by Patrick Radden Keefe about The Troubles in Ireland and the Ira.

“I was so nervous to show my mom and dad, because this is their life,” Boyle said onstage during a recent panel discussion in NYC. “You know, for me, it’s a story, and I’ve lived in the hangover of this conflict. But for them, it was there every day. It was like just their existence. So when I showed them it, like two weeks ago in Belfast, I was really nervous, and I was looking at them sitting behind them, kind of seeing if they were liking it.

A24’s Civil War arrived on the Max streaming service last weekend, and I Saw The TV Glow will appear in just a few days. But it actually looks like A24’s entire 2024 slate will be streaming on Max before long — two more of the studio’s recent pictures, Tuesday and Maxxxine, were just announced for October streaming debuts. Tuesday is one of A24’s more out-there ventures. It stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the mother of a teenage daughter (played by Lola Petticrew) whom she is trying to keep out of the hands of Death. Death, in this movie, is personified by a talking parrot, and the bird was just about to claim Tuesday until he had a panic attack right before he had to do the job. Tuesday felt sorry for Death and lent the bird her vape pen, and that’s how she got away. You can be...

A24’s Tuesday and MaXXXine will debut on HBO and be available to stream exclusively on Max in the U.S. this October.

Tuesday tells the story of a mother (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and her teenage daughter (Lola Petticrew) who must confront Death when it arrives in the form of an astonishing talking bird. From debut filmmaker Daina O. Pusić, Tuesday is a heart-rending fairy tale about the echoes of loss and finding resilience in the unexpected.

The film will be available to stream on Friday, October 11 on Max. Tuesday will make its linear debut on Saturday, October 12, at 8:00 p.m. Et/Pt on HBO.

The FX and Hulu partnership continues with the upcoming limited series, Say Nothing. As you may already know, FX teamed up with Hulu back in 2020 to create shows that stream exclusively on the platform. Some of our favorite shows that have come from this deal include The Bear and the Fargo franchise, but they may soon have some competition with Say Nothing, coming later this year. After all, gripping murder mysteries are my favorite.

If only the brilliant Louis-Dreyfus and Lola Petticrew had been left to handle the black comedy without help from a zany avian

Can the terrifying mystery of death be in any way explained, or its wrenching pain softened, by a quirky hipster movie fantasy about the angel of death being a talking macaw? The answer, as provided by this bafflingly irrelevant and shallow film from first-time feature director Daina O Pusic, is a resounding no. Tuesday stars the estimable Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who has graduated from comic masterpieces such as Seinfeld and Veep to a serious movie career. But how frustrating to see a performance of this quality marooned in the middle of such pointless silliness.

The film’s setting is a London suburb (there is co-production funding from BBC Film and the BFI) where a 15-year-old British kid called Tuesday, played by Lola Petticrew, is dying at home of a terminal illness,...

Julia Louis-Dreyfus stars in Daina O Pusić’s complex, delightfully odd tale of grief. Here’s our Tuesday review.

Films about death tend to be about coming to terms with the fate that waits for us all. Films like The Fault In Our Stars, Five Feet Apart, Meet Joe Black and Me And Earl And The Dying Girl all find characters accepting death, either their own or a loved one’s, as part of life and are able to move on.

Daina O Pusić’s directorial debut Tuesday is different. The only word I can think to describe it is “weird”. Thoroughly, unapologetically weird. While the film’s trailer seemingly promises a traditional, life-affirming weepy, Pusić isn’t interested in offering a gentle look at death.

Instead, death takes the form of a bird, a macaw to be exact. It flies from person to person, granting them death whether they...

Disney’s “Deadpool & Wolverine” continued its reign at the top of the U.K. and Ireland box office, slicing through the competition in its second week of release.

The superhero film raked in £8 million ($10.1 million) over the weekend, bringing its total haul to £33.4 million ($42.4 million), according to numbers from Comscore. That makes it the third highest grossing film of 2024 in the territory so far after “Inside Out 2” and “Dune: Part Two.”

In second place, Universal’s “Despicable Me 4” held its ground, adding £2.5 million to reach a four-week total of £30.8 million. Warner Bros.’ “Twisters” maintained its position in the top three, generating £1.1 million in its third week for a cumulative total of £10.1 million.

Disney scored another win with “Inside Out 2,” which showed remarkable staying power in its eighth week. The film secured the fourth spot with £939,144, bringing its total to £52.2 million.

The highest-ranking new entry, Sony’s “Harold and the Purple Crayon,...

Here is another film that ponders the big life-or-death existential questions, in the grand cinematic tradition of 1946’s A Matter Of Life And Death or, say, 1990’s Ghost. Tuesday, the ambitious debut feature from Croatian filmmaker Daina O. Pusić, in fact bears most similarities to 2016’s A Monster Calls: as with J.A. Bayona’s tear-jerking drama, this is a devastatingly moving fairy tale about a gravelly voiced, anthropomorphised fantasy character making friends with a human grappling with the terminal illness of a family member. Unlike that film, this comes from A24 and is decidedly made for adults rather than children, being distinctly, deliciously oddball.

It begins with a montage of people about to die. Cheerful stuff. Facing their end, this cavalcade of poor souls beg for mercy from Death, who takes an unlikely form: a shapeshifting CG macaw parrot, voiced by British actor Arinzé Kene (Connor from EastEnders). Who needs a cloak and scythe?...

Channel 4 is doubling its drama budget and number of commissions as part of genre chief Ollie Madden’s strategy for the division, Screen’s sister site Broadcast can reveal.

Speaking to Broadcast, the recently-installed head of drama and director of Film4 said the increase is central to C4’s plan to become a streaming-first public service broadcaster, with drama a key driver of viewers to its digital platform.

Madden and his TV commissioning team will now order around 10 original scripted projects per year, with the first tranche being finalised now, to go into production next year for transmission in...

Gillian Anderson is leading a Channel 4 drama adaptation of Louise Kennedy’s Women’s Prize for Fiction- shortlisted Trespasses.

The Scoop and Crown star will play Gina, the mother of protagonist Cushla, a ‘glorious wreck’ who is constantly sparring with her daughter.

Cushla is being played by Lola Petticrew (Bloodlands) and Tom Cullen is Michael, her love interest.

The novel is set in 1975 near Belfast, as Catholic schoolteacher Cushla meets the older Protestant married man, who often defends Ira suspects.

Trespasses is being produced by BAFTA award-winning and double Oscar-nominated Wildgaze Films and is being adapted for the screen in her first lead writing credit by Ailbhe Keogan. All3Media International is distributing. Filming starts in Belfast in the fall.

Anderson said: “I fell in love with Louise’s stunning book when I read it in proof. I was immediately drawn to the...

Co-produced by A-24, the BFI, and BBC Film, Tuesday is an emotional fantasy drama film starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Lola Petticrew. The film revolves around the mother-daughter duo and their coping with the inevitable nature of death. Zora’s daughter, Tuesday, was terminally ill, and she had barely anything left to look forward to in life. She often felt emotionally overwhelmed and found comfort in living in denial. But things take a turn when death in the form of a macaw visits Tuesday—she has to die, but she decides to only leave after bidding her final goodbye to her mother.

Spoiler Alert

Why did Death allow Tuesday the time to say goodbye to Zora?

Death was a worn-out, filthy macaw who had forgotten what it was to spend a moment in peace. The deafening pain and cries of mortals always kept him awake, and most humans were petrified upon seeing him.
