25 Great Films Rejected by the Oscars in 2024: ‘The Iron Claw,’ ‘Priscilla’ and More
"The Iron Claw," "Priscilla," "Origin" and "All Of Us Strangers" are incredible films that somehow have zero Oscar nominations among them.
From Variety’s review: “The ‘Weekend’ writer-director channels his gift for vicarious intimacy and erotic chemistry in this stylish supernatural puzzle…Loosely inspired by Japanese writer Taichi Yamada’s 1987 novel ‘Strangers,’ Haigh’s low-key English-language adaptation is a curious kind of ghost story, at once incredibly tender and profoundly devastating as it slowly reveals its secrets.” From Variety’s review: “Thanks to the dream casting of Mexican star Bernal as ‘the Liberace of Lucha Libre,’ ‘Cassandro’ arrives with a kind of instant credibility, which director Roger Ross Williams protects by eschewing any sign of camp, opting instead for stately, respectful cinematography and a wistful horn score from composer Marcelo Zarvos.” From Variety’s review: “Frantic, irreverent and endearingly scrappy, ‘BlackBerry’ spins comedy from the seat-of-their-pants launch and subsequent flame-out of ‘that phone that people had before they bought an iPhone,’ as one character puts it…this sly tech-world satire freely extrapolates from journalists Jacquie McNish and Sean Silcoff’s book ‘Losing the Signal,’ refashioning that wild ride into something that approximates their favorite movies.”
