Notes from Friday at Telluride where the festival had world premieres of Nickel Boys, Conclave, and Piece by Piece.

Taking inspiration from Danny Lyon’s iconic book of photography The Bikeriders, director Jeff Nichols uses his admiration for the images of mid-century motorcyclists as the basis for a fictionalized account of a Chicago-based motorcycle club.

The best thing Emerald Fennell does with her sharp satiric follow-up to A Promising Young Woman is giving the always-sublime weirdo Barry Keoghan a whole goddamned movie to finally let his freak flag fly. She brings a distinctly female gaze to a twisty class comedy about an Oxford scholarship nerd falling in (and in love with) with the college’s landed party people elite through the transformative power of doing a fortuitous favor for a fellow student.

For the fourth day of the Telluride Film Festival, we caught screenings of fresh takes on familiar myths in the form of Poor Things, Anatomy of a Fall, and El Conde.

For the third day of the Telluride Film Festival, we caught screenings of The Royal Hotel, All of Us Strangers, and The Taste of Things.

For the second day of the Telluride Film Festival, we caught the world premiere of Nyad plus A Strange Way of Life and Cannes Grand Prix winner The Zone of Interest.

Telluride Film Festival kicked off the 50th edition of “The SHOW” on Thursday afternoon, complete with a luchador erupting from a giant cake on the town’s main thoroughfare and a host of world premiere screenings sprawling out over an extra day.
