"Who is Matilda Wormwood if not Carrie White without religious trauma?" This is a joke I made when interviewing "Abigail" directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett for the /Film Daily podcast after complimenting them on their decision to cast Netflix's "Matilda the Musical" star Alisha Weir as their titular ballerina vampire. "Matilda" is one of author Roald Dahl's most beloved characters, offering children both the fantastical wish-fulfillment of having telekinetic superpowers, as well as the ever-important message that reading is cool. The 1988 novel has been adapted multiple times across various media, most notably the 1996 feature film directed by Danny DeVito and starring Mara Wilson, the two-part BBC Radio 4 special, the stage musical featuring music by Tim Minchin and Dennis Kelly, and the Netflix film adaptation of said musical.

A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting is out now on Netflix and to mark the launch of this entertaining adventure flick, we had the pleasure of speaking to the two leading ladies, the young duo of Oona Laurence and Tamara Smart. We also discussed the project with the director herself, Rachel Talalay.
Watch our interviews below as Smart tells us about being starstruck in the presence of Tom Felton, and Laurence talks about the duty for young performers in the public eye to use their voice for change – while Talalay talks about establishing the tone for the movie, which is something that should come all too easily for a former director of Doctor Who.

In the U.K., the pop culture phrase “behind the sofa” is used to refer to media that is scary enough to prompt kids to hide behind the nearest piece of furniture, but engaging enough to keep them from outright fleeing the room. Strongly associated with Doctor Who, “behind the sofa” is a concept that can be applied far beyond the long-running science fiction series to speculative fiction (in particular horror) media targeted toward children and families. It’s perhaps a phrase British-American director Rachel Talalay, known for her work on some of NuWho’s most visually-ambitious installments, had in mind when directed Netflix’s recently-released kids horror-fantasy flick A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting.

It’s Halloween night, and the thing that most terrifies teenage misfit Kelly Ferguson (Tamara Smart) is making it through the popular kids’ party without being called “Monster Girl.” After the ill-advised choice to tell her peers about a traumatic incident of almost getting snatched by a monster as a child, the unfortunate nickname has stuck and tanked all hope of ever joining the in-crowd. It’s useful, then, that her mother (Crystal Balint) promised Kelly’s babysitting services to her ice queen boss Ms. Zellman (Tamsen McDonough) and her problem child Jacob (Ian Ho). But when that adorable child gets snatched by the same otherworldly creature that once haunted Kelly, the hapless caretaker is thrown into a secret underworld and gets her first lesson in A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting.

One Halloween when Kelly Ferguson was 5 years old she was attacked by the boogeyman and lived to tell the tale. An act of remarkable heroism that should have got the world talking about the things that go bump in the night! But no one believed Kelly’s story and the only talk her bravery provoked was the gossip laughing behind her back, which earned her the nickname Monster Girl.
Today Kelly (Tamara Smart) is a bright, articulate teenager with a huge appetite for knowledge and an aptitude for geometry. With the passage of time and the strict application of common sense, she has determined that her Halloween battle was all in her mind and put her dark past behind her. Unfortunately, the Monster Girl moniker has proven harder to shake off.

It’s either an in-joke or an irony that the not-terribly-terrifying villain of “A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting” is named The Grand Guignol, for Rachel Talalay’s perky, clean-cut kiddie-horror steers as far clear as possible of the macabre gore and gruesomeness implied by the name. In this tale of an underground babysitter syndicate dedicated to fighting the things that go bump in the night, even the monsters are cute: roly-poly, crayon-colored, off-brand uglydolls that look like Mike Wazowski’s less genetically blessed relatives. Yet cuteness supplants genuine charm in this Netflix-released adaptation of screenwriter Joe Ballarini’s YA book series, which may adequately distract very young ones on a socially distanced Halloween night, but offers ample room for improvement in the franchise it seeks to start.

Based on the unsolved Long Island serial killer case, Lost Girls heartbreakingly follows the true story of how Mari Gilbert (Amy Ryan) searched for her missing daughter, Shannan, in 2010 and how this disappearance impacted her other daughters (Oona Laurence and Thomasin McKenzie). Still, Shannan's death isn't the only one that looms over this tragic case. We learn about other victims, too, many of whom were female sex workers. The Netflix biopic ends not long after the discovery of Shannan's body. Authorities ultimately ruled Shannan's death accidental, but Mari maintained that Shannan was murdered. As the murderer's identity and motives remain unknown, we don't know for sure how many people he killed. However, chances are that the person, long dubbed the Long Island serial killer, murdered between 10 to 16 victims.

Young lads are lucky if they grow up with a guy like Zeke (Pete Davidson) in their lives. When a 12-year-old named Mo (Aiden Arthur) meets the lanky, older boyfriend of his sister Kate (Emily Arlook), he’s the sort of cool dude likely to impress any preteen. Zeke is the one who takes Mo on rollercoasters, gives him his first beer, gets him in to R-rated movies; the first time the kid sees a naked woman, he says in a voiceover, is when Zeke shows him one on his phone.

For nearly 20 years, Long Island was home to a serial killer. This still-unidentified devil is believed to have murdered 10-16 sex workers from 1996 to 2013, approximately. These heinous acts went unnoticed by law enforcement for almost two decades, and it’s this dark crime that documentary filmmaker, Liz Garbus, explores in her first feature film, Lost Girls. Specifically, the film follows the disappearance of 24-year-old Shannan Gilbert and the investigation (or lack thereof) into her possible murder that leads to a trail of corpses – the unsolved cases of more than a dozen missing and murdered sex workers.
Shannan’s last moments open this tale of horrors as she is seen running for her life – her face remaining enshadowed – juxtaposed by her favorite song, “Beautiful Dreamer,” that accompanies the scene. She was supposed to go back home to visit Mari (Amy Ryan), her single mother working several jobs to support herself and Shannan’s two younger sisters,...

In 2010, the disappearance of 24 year old Shannan Gilbert, on Oak Island in New York state helped trigger the finding of four bodies. The bodies all belonged to young women who had been sex workers, all wrapped in burlap and buried in shallow graves. Further bodies, dating back to the 90s, were later found and the killer (or killers) has never been caught.
Lost Girls focuses on the beginning of this case, the aftermath of the disappearance of Shannan and the effect it had on her mother Mari (Amy Ryan) and younger sisters (Thomasin McKenzie and Oona Laurence) as well as on the families of the first four girls found.
The title Lost Girls has a dual meaning here, it of course refers to the victims, who were women whose killer appears to have assumed had nobody to miss or look for them, in many cases women who still don’t have names.

Netflix feels like the right home for this compelling but low-key feature about the Long Island Serial Killer which wisely opts to focus on the families of the victims rather than the unsolved case itself. Amy Ryan (Gone Baby Gone) is sympathetic as Mari Gilbert, a hard-working and harassed single mother whose somewhat estranged eldest daughter Shannan goes missing after making a panicked 911 call from a gated community near Ocean Parkway, NY in the early hours of the morning. But the police take almost an hour to respond to the call, fail to request CCTV footage which might have shown Shannan’s movements, and don’t adequately question witnesses or even search the area sufficiently. It’s only a dogged Mari who keeps the case alive by tracking her daughter’s final movements, nagging police and stapling “missing” posters all over the small town where Shannan was last seen.

Unsated curiosity after watching a dramatization of real-life events — that rush to Google names, faces and dates — is quite frequently a validation of the importance or intrigue of a subject. But a movie like “Lost Girls,” about the victims of the never-found Long Island serial killer, highlights the possibility that some stories inspire questions because they aren’t especially well told.
Award-winning filmmaker Liz Garbus (“The Fourth Estate”) vividly captures the outrage and desperation of a mother seeking answers from indifferent authorities after her daughter disappears. Still, it’s hard to know if Garbus’ overwrought portrayal of these crimes and their aftermath depicts the actual investigation fairly, or if the former documentarian sacrificed accuracy for what proves to be short-term emotional effect.

Growing up is about learning from your mistakes. Part of that process is, of course, making those mistakes in the first place. The new movie Big Time Adolescence leans into this aspect of the coming of age story with a surprising amount of effectiveness. On the surface, this Sundance Film Festival alumni appeared like an independent vehicle for Saturday Night Live cast member Pete Davidson. Instead, it’s more than that, deftly mixing comedy and drama to tell a rather impactful story. Moreover, it showcases some solid chops from Davidson, making his upcoming starring vehicle from Judd Apatow something to really look forward to. In true teen comedy tradition, this is about the influence on a good kid that a “bad” one has. It just happens to zig when it otherwise might have zagged.

It’s exciting, and fascinating, to see a great director of documentaries try his or her hand at a dramatic feature, since in theory the essential skill set should all be there. The best documentarians possess an acute visual sense, and they are all, of course, potent storytellers. Yet for every attempt at this sort of crossover that triumphs, like Terry Zwigoff leaping from “Crumb” to “Ghost World,” there are many more that don’t. Remember Joe Berlinger’s misbegotten “Blair Witch” sequel? Or Barbara Kopple’s “Havoc”? Or Michael Moore’s “Canadian Bacon”? And then there was Andrew Jarecki’s “All Good Things,” an attempt, by the creator of “Capturing the Friedmans,” to dramatize the life of the accused killer Robert Durst that proved to be such an ambitiously awkward movie that it spurred him to return to nonfiction with the far more powerful Robert Durst docu-series “The Jinx.

Seven months after Shannan Gilbert went missing, a body was found on a desolate stretch of a Long Island parkway. It wasn’t Shannan’s body, and neither was the next one or the next one or even the next one; it wasn’t until authorities had discovered ten bodies on that same stretch of Ocean Parkway that Shannan was found. By then, her mother Mari had already spent months knocking on doors, imploring the police to investigate, and bonding with the other women left in the wake of what would end up being one of America’s most mysterious serial killers. It’s the kind of ripped-from-the-headlines drama that seems like Garbus, who has long been motivated by stories about remarkable women and horrible crimes, makes a strong showing with “Lost Girls,” her first narrative feature in her decades-long career.

"I've been dismissed and ignored, but one thing I won't be is silenced." Netflix has revealed the first official trailer for the investigation drama Lost Girls, which is premiering at the Sundance Film Festival later this month. Lost Girls is based on the true story of Mari Gilbert, adapted from the non-fiction book by Robert Kolker investigating what might be going on and why the cops aren't helping. When Mari Gilbert's daughter disappears, police inaction drives her own investigation right into the gated Long Island community where Shannan was last seen. Her search brings attention to over a dozen murdered sex workers. Amy Ryan stars as Mari Gilbert, with a full cast including Thomasin McKenzie, Lola Kirke, Oona Laurence, Gabriel Byrne, Miriam Shor, Kevin Corrigan, Dean Winters, & Austyn Johnson. A very powerful first look. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Liz Garbus' Lost Girls, direct from Netflix's YouTube:...

Everyone knows that one person from high school who is still living vicariously through the memories of a better past, perpetually talking about how they are “almost” going to follow through with the few dreams they may have, but instead giving into the vices carried through from their “prime.” In his first leading role that fits better than Cinderella’s glass slipper, Pete Davidson plays the ultimate version of this burnout character. Taking the scene-stealing supporting role of Zeke, Big Time Adolescence follows Davidson’s character as he continues a friendship with his ex-girlfriend’s younger brother, Mo (Griffin Gluck) in an entertaining if familiar journey about growing up far too fast.
Rather than spending time with his dad (Jon Cryer) or the high school friends that he doesn’t have, the 16-year-old Mo spends virtually every moment of his free time with Zeke. Their activities include getting high, drinking...

‘Big Time Adolescence’ Review: Pete Davidson Is Hilarious in Raunchy Coming-of-Age Comedy — Sundance
Much about Pete Davidson’s unique appeal, as “SNL” comedian and celebrity, has to do with his smirk: a slender half-moon with naughty connotations and an undercurrent of sadness. “Big Time Adolescence” provides the first indication of how that smile can tell a story. As the 22-year-old Zeke, the listless college dropout who becomes the rambunctious older-brother figure to 16-year-old Mo (Griffin Gluck), Davidson projects an outward confidence even as the movie makes it clear that his character is full of it. The strength of “Big Time Adolescence” stems from Mo waking up to the real intentions behind that smile.
As coming-of-age stories about wayward teens go, writer-director Jason Orley’s debut is a sturdy, endearing portrait of youth in revolt that takes few surprising turns. But the two actors sell their dynamic well enough to inject the story with palpable authenticity despite the familiar premise. As Mo’s handy opening voiceover explains,...

There’s a long-standing Hollywood tradition of comic characters who are patently disreputable anti-social f—ups. It’s the comedy as rock ‘n’ roll school of bad behavior, and its exemplars are legend: John Belushi turning wreckage into blissed-out anarchy in “National Lampoon’s Animal House,” Bill Murray and his jabbering slob irony in everything from “Meatballs” to “St. Vincent,” Will Ferrell’s destructive moronic narcissists, Jim Carrey’s media-wired lunatics, the revenge-of-the nerd horndog teen partiers of “Superbad.”
So when you first see Pete Davidson in “Big Time Adolescence,” where he plays a druggie wastrel loser who, from his look to his attitude, is very Pete Davidson, you naturally assume that he’s one of those characters: an outrageous homeboy douche we’re going to be laughing with, rather than at.
He is, maybe slightly. Yet the movie isn’t actually that kind of comedy. Davidson plays Zeke, who...

What does it say about the current state of American cinema that filmmaker Patrick Wang’s brand of humanism could be considered radical? Most of our homegrown dramatists aren’t interested in the complexities of inner tumult, just the surface level conflict and pain it tends to foster. Making matters worse, the Academy Awards don’t tend to reward serious artists dealing with the nuances of psychological distress. Wang is different from his peers in so many respects, but the most important has to do with his refusal to see human emotion through such a binary lens; for him, trauma and healing are permanently intertwined and mirrored experiences. With this motif as their guiding light, Wang’s first two features—2011’s In the Family and 2015’s The Grief of Others—daringly suggest that even the most traumatically broken individual can heal under the right circumstances. His invaluable optimism does not...

Sofia Coppola’s dreamy, ‘woman’s eye’ adaptation of a Us civil war story brings the battleground indoors
Thomas Cullinan’s 1966 novel The Beguiled (Aka A Painted Devil), about a wounded Union soldier taken into a southern girls’ academy during the Us civil war, was first brought to the screen by director Don Siegel in 1971. With posters declaring that leading man Clint Eastwood “has never been in a deadlier spot!”, Siegel’s film was a horror-inflected psychodrama, full of sinewy interior monologues, and foreshadowing some of the male paranoia themes of Eastwood’s directorial debut Play Misty for Me. Now, writer-director Sofia Coppola revisits this story with a sly, sensuous adaptation that earned her the best director award at Cannes, making her the first woman to take that prize since Yuliya Solntseva won for Chronicle of Flaming Years in 1961. Despite closely mirroring the narrative of Siegel’s film (the screenplay...

Chicago – The human-ness of being human never changes, fundamentally. The mating season arrives, and the effect makes for both great connections and bad decisions. Director Sofia Coppola emphasizes this in a reverent film production of the story called “The Beguiled.”
Rating: 5.0/5.0
It began as a novel in 1971 by Thomas Cullinan (originally entitled “A Painted Devil”) and was adapted into a film version that same year by director Don Siegel, starring Clint Eastwood (the same team that brought us “Dirty Harry”). Sofia Coppola wrote the screenplay adaptation for her directorial version, focusing on how the relationships developed and changed in a Southern girls boarding school during the Civil War, when adjacent to the property a wounded Union soldier is found. Coppola generates an understanding of how women are, in a repressed society, when faced with their own longings and desires. This is framed by a tense situation – almost a thriller – as...

The Beguiled is director/writer Sophia Coppola’s remake of an offbeat, little-seen 1971 gem that starred Clint Eastwood. Though directed by Don Siegel, best known for tough crime drama (he directed Clint in Dirty Harry the same year), the original had a strong feminist bent, so it’s seems suitable that the story is retold from a woman filmmaker’s perspective. The new film is faithful to the original to the point where it may seem unnecessary to some, but it’s a compelling story and Ms Coppola and her cast do an admirable job.
The Beguiled is a haunting gothic western that takes place near the end of the Civil War in a Southern mansion that functions as a small all-girls private school. As the war rages on outside its wrought-iron gates, headmistress Martha Farnsworth (Nicole Kidman) tries to maintain civility inside. The youngest student Amy (Oona Laurence), discovers...
