Ah yes, the autumn months are upon us, bringing with them a beautiful transformation as the leaves turn brown and the air becomes chillier. As students return to school, the conversation inevitably shifts to the question on every film enthusiast's mind: “But what are the Oscar chances?” Looking ahead to the final stretch of the year in film, there are certainly some exciting releases that may not be vying for gold statuettes. We can safely assume that the latest horror film sequels and blockbuster remakes debuting between Labor Day and New Year’s Eve are unlikely to be on anyone’s awards radar.
However, the season is rich with films that exude a certain prestige. Many of these projects boast accolades from various film festivals and are backed by For Your Consideration campaigns that rival the gross national product of a small country. These films are poised to capture the attention of audiences and critics alike. Among them, we are sure to find some modern classics, along with a few that might not leave a lasting impression. And let’s not forget about the electrifying performances, including one featuring Cynthia Erivo in stunning green makeup, hitting notes that could shatter car windows in the multiplex parking lot. Forget it, Jake. It’s the Fall Movie Season.
