Have you all been Crshd? I certainly hope so! Last week, I published a rave review for the comedy Crshd, one of the year’s best and most surprising films. Today, we follow that up by bringing you a pair of interviews with the very talented ladies who brought the movie to life. Yes, we’ve got chats with star Isabelle Barbier, writer/director/co-editor Emily Cohn, star Deeksha Ketkar, and star Sadie Scott, all of whom do phenomenal work. I was lucky enough to hop on Skype with Barbier and Ketkar yesterday, as well as having a phone call with Cohn and Scott earlier today. Both are very casual discussions of the flick, and in the latter case, ended up as a pretty long recording. Hopefully you enjoy them all, since these creatives are supremely talented, as well as being utterly delightful people. I could have spoken with them all day,...

Annette Bening, Bill Nighy and Josh O’ Connor are ready to deal with some serious family issues in the drama Hope Gap. Screen Media Ventures and Roadside Attractions released the film today on digital platforms after having to pivot from their originally planned March 5 theatrical release due to the pandemic –because the show must go on.
Directed by Oscar-nominated screenwriter William Nicholson and based on his Tony Award-nominated play, The Retreat From Moscow, Hope Gap made its world premiere at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival before hitting the festival circuit.
Hope Gap follows the lives of Grace (Bening) and Edward (Nighy), who have been married for 29 years, as they navigate through stages of shock, disbelief and anger, to a place of hope. They live in a small seaside town near a cove under the cliffs called Hope Gap — hence the title of the film. When their son Jamie (O’Connor...

As the social media sphere steadily encroaches on “real life,” many filmmakers struggle with how to best translate the way characters interact in the digital space on to the big screen. How do you create cinematic interpretations that don’t feel out of touch with the way the Facebooks and Twitters and iMessages of the world actually work? The challenge has created its own genre, with films like “Searching” and “Unfriended” using virtual interactions to frame their narratives; other films have tried to shoehorn off-brand apps to approximate How We Live Now with less exciting results. But what does social media feel like?
Emily Cohn’s “Crshd,” , has a brilliant answer for that. Set during the waning days of their first year at college, “Crshd” follows a trio of best pals as they attempt to make romantic magic happen with a slew of possible paramours as helped by their Very Online lives.

The college experience is ripe for all sorts of cinematic treatment. Mostly, college/university life is focused, obviously, on the student body. Quite literally, it’s even focused on the bodies of the students. Most movies of this ilk are sex comedies, often of the raunchy variety. Moreover, the have largely a male gaze. Well, Crshd (opening on Friday) is here to change all of that. This movie takes the college sex comedy and subverts it with a female point of view. The result is a very creative, very funny, and even very moving experience. Despite the specificity of the characters, the desires and issues on hand are absolutely universal. The film is, as mentioned, a comedy, this one set at a small liberal arts college. In broad strokes, the plot concerns three friends, and specifically the desire of the awkward one Izzy Alden (Isabelle Barbier), to lose her virginity,...

Ah, college. A time for unrequited lust, illegal alcohol consumption, and awkwardly running into your latest Tinder match on the way to your 8 a.m. final. In “Crshd,” the directorial debut from Emily Cohn, these experiences take on a larger-than-life, distinctly art school magnitude — probably due to Cohn only just graduating from Oberlin in 2017.
