A FILM! TWO CRITICS! A THOUGHT! A TALK! TO BREAK THE DISCOURSE OF NOLAN!After a decades-long journey of seeing Christopher Nolan's hot new Odyssey on the biggest available IMAX screen they could find, Joshicus and Andrewussy return to give their blessing over his take on the millennia-old tale. Tackling such a dense beast of a film, they get into Nolan's method of modernizing his adaptation, applying the biggest scope a 70mm IMAX camera could bring, and a lecture on Greek mythology and history by Professor Andrew. Follow Zeus's Law as our hosts decide if The Odyssey is a worthy step-up for Nolan or a rocky improvement in comparison to the rest of his films (Thankfully, it's not as horny as Oppenheimer). Next, they have One More Thing, recommending Parisian film tour Ciné-Balade (that's "ciné-walk," for the record, Josh) and customizable keyboard brand Lemokey.Next week, Josh and Andrew travel up the border to Canada and take a look at Sophy Romvari's acclaimed directorial debut Blue Heron. Until then, read on at the thetake-up.com and follow us @thetakeupstl on Instagram, Twitter, Letterboxd, and Facebook.

The Odyssey, the biggest film of the year in every sense, has rolled into town. Christopher Nolan's epic has been receiving rapturous reviews from critics and packing them in at the cinemas on its opening weekend; now the CineSkinny team weigh in. And in terms of this week's theme, we were slightly uninspired, but we did notice that the Earth was now over halfway round its yearly rotation of the sun. Therefore, we thought it was a good time to take a little stock of film in 2026 and pick out our favourite movies from the year so far.

I denne podkastepisoden er regissør Jannicke Systad Jacobsen vår gjest i en samtale om kanadiske Sophy Romvaris glimrende debutfilm Blue Heron, som i sommer vises på Vega Scene i Oslo. På filmfestivalen Kosmorama i mars var Montages-redaktør Karsten Meinich invitert til å sitte som en av tre medlemmer av juryen for New Directors-programmet, og Blue Heron vant hovedprisen. I sin uttalelse skrev juryen blant annet at filmen «utmerker seg gjennom en særegen forening av følsomhet og kunstnerisk renhet. Sett gjennom øynene til et barn som navigerer i de stille spenningene i en familie i krise, fanger filmen den sårbare dynamikken mellom minner, traumer og tilhørighet – med eksepsjonell presisjon.» Da Vega Scene spesialimporterte Blue Heron i juni for en serie visninger gjennom sommeren, ble den endelig tilgjengelig for et større norsk publikum. Sophy Romvaris mange kortfilmer har i tillegg blitt vist i en egen kuratert seksjon på The Criterion Channel, så anledningen var ypperlig for å vie en hel episode til regissøren og Blue Heron på Filmfrelst. Jannicke Systad Jacobsen er ikke bare kjent for spillefilmer som Få meg på, for faen (2011) og Hjelperytteren (2019), hun har også regissert en rekke kortdokumentarer – inkludert New York 81 (2022), som vi kommer inn på i episoden. Sammen med Karsten Meinich snakker Systad Jacobsen om Blue Heron, fortellergrep og kunstneriske valg i Romvaris filmografi, og hvilken effekt de har på oss som tilskuere. God lytting!

Okay let's get a little timely, a little Canadian and a little Letterboxy, with Blue Heron. A relatively new director, Sophy Romvari, puts out a semi-auto biographical banger about growing up with a "strange" sibling. The movie plays with memory, time and audience perspective an a refreshing and controlled way. This movie blew up on Letterboxed in a big way and it's Canadian, so it felt like a good chance of pace from the previous films we did.The movie is about a Hungarian immigrant family with the POV being 8-year-old Sasha and her adult self reflecting on those memories. What's real and what's not real? That's the question.Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Check out https://shop.theotherhalfpodcast.com/ to help support the show and get your room some cool art!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
We're midway through 2026, so Ashley, Matt and Ryan decided to talk about their Top 5 favorite films of the year (so far).
Carter and Jonathan are back to review Steven Spielberg's newest blockbuster, one of the best reviewed films of the year, and a dark period piece starring Hugh Jackman.
James Cameron-Wilson thought he was in for a treat with #2 Supergirl, starring Milly Alcock. But it is disappointingly tedious, with lots of fighting and killing and a surprising 12A certificate, given that it deals with alcoholism and sex trafficking. #27 Blue Heron, a Canadian film about childhood trauma, is highly regarded by some. But James found it self-indulgent, abtruse and unfathomable. He was keener on Netflix's romcom Voicemails for Isabelle. It looks great, has a super soundtrack, winning performances and boasts dialogue so effervescent, he would happily watch it again for that alone. It's the sort of film that makes you happy to be alive. In the Hand of Dante, also on Netflix, stars Al Pacino, Martin Scorsese and more but is two films in one, with an intriguing modern thriller weighed down by a plodding medieval biopic. It's half a masterpiece, half a disaster. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Sam Clements is curating a fictional film festival. He'll accept almost anything, but the movie must not be longer than 90 minutes. This is the 90 Minutes Or Less Film Fest podcast. In episode 166 Sam is joined by filmmaker Sophy Romvari. Her debut feature Blue Heron is in UK cinema from 26 June 2026. Sophy has chosen Chronicle of a Summer [Chronique d'un été] (90 mins). An early example of cinéma vérité, the documentary is a collaboration between sociologist Edgar Morin and filmmaker Jean Rouch. Sam and Sophy discuss moving from making short film to her first feature, working with real social workers on Blue Heron, and the balancing act between authenticity and story in her movie and Chronicle of a Summer.

Hope Hopkinson talks to writer-director Sophy Romvari about her new film, Blue Heron, in cinemas now. In the late 1990s, eight-year-old Sasha and her family relocate to a new home on Vancouver Island, but their fresh start is interrupted by increasingly dangerous behavior from the eldest son, Jeremy. At wit's end, their parents are presented with a shattering choice. Award-winning director Sophy Romvari's feature debut is a lyrical and profound testament to the things we carry with us, masterfully chronicling the haze of a languid summer and the hyaline clarity of the moments that defined it.

Just a couple of episodes ago, we were praising Steven Spielberg as one of our greatest living filmmakers. Then we watched Disclosure Day, and might have to roll back some of those compliments. We gush over Blue Heron, the extraordinary memory piece from Sophy Romvari. And inspired by Romvari's sophisticated approach to exploring her own childhood experiences – both real and imagined – through cinema, we discuss some other films that dig into the concept and aesthetics of memory in interesting ways. And finally, we get excited about our upcoming screening of Gregg Araki's Nowhere on 28 June at GFT, which will be followed by an on-stage discussion.

The Post Relevant Podcast is a secret brought to Earth through the wise Owl, handed off to a cadre of Hawks, red-eyed demon dogs, an army of Deer, an Air Force of Vultures, and borne to the foot of the the mystical Blue Heron, who blesses every episode and eventually drops them beneath the Blue Moon into the ears of local Rabbits. The Rabbits leave each episodes of the show on listener's doorsteps, wrapped inside an acorn shell encased in flower petals. Its a cottage industry, but very efficient!Twin Peaks: the Return: the DECODE returns with an interpretation of episode 9! Its a 'no-bells-and-whistles' soft reboot of our show, originally recorded in January 2025 at the beginning of the LA fires. Appropriate for a Twin Peaks podcast, and strangely synchronous for our current "Year of the Fire Horse" in 2026. Hosts Phil Ristaino and Justin Epifanio recount Justin's first-hand experience surviving the Los Angeles inferno. Then they go in deep into trying to explain TP:TR episode 9. Statements are made, like "Its a fucking morgue!" And they are not wrong. Cutting questions are posed, like "When did he lose his marbles?" Insights are given, like "When the dog got his cat's eyes?" Tammy poses. Chad huffs and puffs. William Hastings yearns for scuba diving and mixed drinks. All the while, the disembodied head and decapitated body of Major Briggs looms large, holds clues, and rings like a monastery bell. We discover much!Throughout the show, Phil recounts stories of being visited by different wild animals while exploring the city of Nashville TN. Its another trippy show!

Is the theater experience back? Independent horror films like Obsession and Backrooms are making waves at the box office. Fresh stories like The Drama and Crime 101 have made their mark. So co-host Nicholas Ybarra and producer Sonja Mereu thought this was a great time to highlight some independent films that are absolutely worth seeing on the big screen while you still can. - We start with Boots Riley's highly-anticipated, pro-Union, Technicolor powerhouse, I Love Boosters. The film stars Keke Palmer and Demi Moore. - Second, Aleshea Harris delivers an outstanding directorial debut in the revenge film, Is God Is. - Speaking of memorable debuts, Sophie Romvari makes her feature debut with the personal and powerful Blue Heron. All these films can be seen on the big screen through tomorrow, and they are definitely worth seeing while you can. Keep an eye out for more great independent films throughout the year. The more we see them, the more they get made. ❗️SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE ❗️Support the showSign up for our Patreon for exclusive Bonus Content.Follow the podcast on Instagram @gimmethreepodcastYou can keep up with Bella on Instagram @portraitofacinephile or Letterboxd You can keep up with Nick: on Instagram @nicholasybarra, on Twitter (X) @nicholaspybarra, or on LetterboxdShout out to contributor and producer Sonja Mereu.

On episode 346 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by AwardsWatch Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson and AwardsWatch contributors Dan Bayer, Mark Johnson, and Josh Parham to go back 15 years and take a look at the 84th Academy Awards, covering the films of 2011. On this week's retrospective, the AW team returns from Cannes to take a look back at the 84th Oscars, one that was known for having a great selection of films to choose from that the Academy decided to mostly ignore for more middle of the road, safer choices. This lead to a winner that is not remembered as much for a film that defined the year, both from a critical and commercial aspect, and also lead to one of the worst wins in the Best Actress category. So given the nature of the show and the game played by the AW team, change is a coming for 2011, as the following films were mentioned over the courses of lengthy discussions over every category; Weekend, Contagion, Shame, Melancholia, Crazy Stupid Love, Take Shelter, Killer Joe, The Skin I Live In, 50/50, as well as films that were already nominees getting more love like Moneyball, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Warrior, The Tree of Life, Drive, Bridesmaids, and more. In their in-depth discussion, the AW team talked about the film year of 2011, briefly discuss talk about The Artist as a Best Picture winner, and how that speaks to the legacy of their nominates and or wins, do an extensive conversation over the below the line categories and nominees for the year, and then the new version of the AW Shoulda Woulda Coulda game, where instead of individual replacements, they must decide as a group who the nominees and winners should be in the top eight categories. The rules of the game state they can only replace two of the nominees that year from each category, except in Best Picture, where the group could replace up to four films to make up the final set of five nominated films. Like past retrospective episodes, it was a fascinating, fun conversation including spirited debates, alliances, vote swinging, celebrating various movies, performances that aren't normally talked about and more that we all hope you enjoy. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page. This podcast runs 2h52m. We will be back in next week for a review round-up episode discussing some of the newest releases in theaters like Obsession, Backrooms, Masters of the Universe, Power Ballad, Blue Film, Blue Heron, and more. Till then, let's get into it. Music: "Modern Fashion" from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), "B-3" from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

Adam and Josh review Sophy Romvari’s debut feature Blue Heron, a semi-autobiographical "memory piece" that follows a Hungarian immigrant family on Vancouver Island in the late 1990s. They discuss Romvari’s distinct "observational elegance," the film’s striking meta-elements, and how it stacks up against other recent memory-focused masterworks like Aftersun. Plus, a look at why this is already a frontrunner for the 2026 Golden Brick.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sailing Season on Lake Superior is busy. Approximately 4,500 ships travel through the Soo Locks. One boat, the Blue Heron, docked in Duluth, Minnesota, spends the summer season as a Research Vessel for the University of Minnesota's Large Lakes Observatory. Captain Rual Lee has been at the helm of the 87' vessel since 2014. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with him about what it takes to operate a floating science lab on the Greatest of the Great Lakes.Quotes: “We're still working on the boat, trying to make it a better tool for science.” “The lake is humbling. It really doesn't matter what boat you're on. It will put you in your place as it were.” “One of the great parts of my job is that the crew and I get to hang around with some really smart people doing some really clever research, looking at different parts of the lake.” “The science comes and goes according to the individual projects. So we're the platform. We're a useful tool to get the science done.” “Out in the middle of Lake Superior, you can see the results of a policy change that showed up in the mid-70s. And that's really a great thing I think.”Helpful links: Learn more about the R/V Blue Heron: https://scse.d.umn.edu/large-lakes-observatory/vessels/blue-heron Learn more about the Large Lakes Observatory: https://scse.d.umn.edu/large-lakes-observatory Learn more about Science on Deck events: https://scse.d.umn.edu/large-lakes-observatory/news-events/science-deck Track Great Lakes vessels with BoatNerd AIS: https://ais.boatnerd.com/ Learn more about “The Freshwater Everest” / Superior Shoal livestream: https://inspiredplanet.ca/live/Connect With Us: Lake Superior Podcast Page – https://nplsf.org/podcast Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundationSponsors: Cafe Imports – Minneapolis-based importers of specialty green coffees since 1993, focused on sustainability.

Writer/director Sophy Romvari's feature debut, BLUE HERON, already has her being added to the shortlist of great Canadian auteurs. And on that list, she'd be alongside the late, great Jean-Marc Vallée, whose 2005 film C.R.A.Z.Y. captures some of the same deeply felt, retrospective family drama that Romvari captures in her own films. After this conversation, Jordan has one quick thing about illustrator Tony Stella, who passed away this week. Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's MaxFunDrive!

Canadian writer-director Sophy Romvari's debut feature film, Blue Heron, follows a Hungarian-Canadian family as they relocate to Vancouver Island in the '90s, and struggle to deal with the eldest son's increasingly dangerous behavioural issues. She joins Q host Tom Power to talk about the success of her semi-autobiographical feature, the current state of the Canadian independent film industry, and why she finds making personal work so fulfilling.
In her scripted debut, documentarian Sohpy Romvari explores with her memories of growing up with her brother's increasingly dangerous behavior. The way she wrestles with how her family responded, her own memories of that time, and how she processed it all through her masterful use of film form.

"Blue Heron" is a 2025 drama film written and directed by Sophy Romvari in her directorial debut. Described as "semi-autobiographical," the film is based in part on Romvari's own childhood and her previous short film "Still Processing." The film stars Eylul Guven as Sasha, the eight-year-old daughter of a Hungarian immigrant family who relocate to Vancouver Island in the late 1990s, while their oldest son, Jeremy (Edik Beddoes), displays increasingly dangerous behavioral issues in their new environment. The cast also includes Ádám Tompa and Iringó Réti as Sasha's parents, Liam Serg and Preston Drabble as Sasha's brothers, and Amy Zimmer as Adult Sasha. The film had its world premiere at the 78th Locarno Film Festival, receiving universal acclaim, winning the Swatch First Feature Award, and later the Best Canadian Discovery award at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival. Romvari was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about her work and experience making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will be released in theaters on April 17th by Janus Films. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
