QUICK NOTE: Beginning with today's post MTFB goes back to its normal and less frenetic non-summer publication schedule of twice per week on Mondays and Thursdays.
TWO NEW TRAILERS FOR TELLURIDE HITS
Damien Chazelle's First Man from Universal has a new international trailer that I have linked here from YouTube:
And there is also a new trailer fro Yorgos Lanthimos' The Favourite also from YouTube:
INDIEWIRE'S T-RIDE BREAKDOWNS
Indiewire critics Eric Kohn and David Ehrlich evaluate their perceptions of a number of films from TFF #45 including Roma, First Man and The Favourite.
Other films that played TFF that get a mention include Border, Birds of Passage, The Front Runner, Boy Erased, The Other Side of the Wind, The Old Man and the Gun, Free Solo, Meeting Gorbachev, Trial By Fire and Watergate.
Meanwhile, if you prefer your Telluride analysis delivered aurally, you can catch Anne Thompson and Kohn's early T-ride podcast here. One assumes an updated podcast with a fuller look at Telluride is probable in the next couple of days.
OSCAR ANALYSTS AFTER TELLURIDE AND BEFORE TORONTO
Long time readers of this blog know that it undergoes a transformation now that TFF #45 is in the books.
My particular focus is how the films that we saw last weekend play during Oscar season. To that end I have linked a number of posts/pieces from some of the best Oscar prognosticators in the land as a way to get you started thinking about what may happen over the next few months.
Josh Rottenberg, The Los Angeles Times
Pete Hammond, Deadline.com
Mark Johnson, Awards Circuit (who may mention some friend named Michael)
Anne Thompson, Indiewire
Anne lists possible nominations for a number of TFF #45 films:
First Man- 13-including Picture, actor and director
Roma- 9 - including Picture and director
The Favourite- 9- including Picture, director and actress
Can You Ever Forgive Me?- 3- including best actress...though I think we could "Lady Bird" this into maybe a couple of more nominations.

THE PEOPLE'S TELLURIDE
The initial response has been fantastic with a faster and larger response than any year thus far...BUT...keep them coming. If you haven't sent me your film ratings...get in on the fun. Rate the films you saw at TFF last weekend on a 1-5 (1 = BAD, 5 = GREAT) scale and contact me in any of the ways below.
