Panned by The Guardian who gave it 1 star. Reviews on Letterboxd seem mostly favourable with most giving it 3, 3 and a half and 4 stars. Are they usually that harsh? Lol. I didn't necessarily love the film, but it is in no way deserving of a 1 rating. Also, again so many tweets from legit people, like members of the independent spirit awards saying she is brilliant and has entered the oscar race, but just as many people saying no. On awardsworthy they are mostly ignoring the raves and saying she's out. The Pete Hammond Oscar worthy article tweet was posted there but they just glossed over it. Maybe it should be posted again lol or maybe they jus don't care.

I haven’t seen the movie but I’m almost positive that she will win the Golden Globe after reading all the reviews. A GG nom or win could help her get the Oscar nod.

I know she got good reviews for White Oleander but were they really THIS GOOD? I mean she's literally praised in every review I've read so far, well except for the one in The Guardian. Looks like a lot of critics think she deserves an Oscar nod. The academy would be crazy to ignore that, right?

Also a lot of Supporting Actress mentions on Twitter for Valerie.

She didn't get "career best" notices for that film, but many for this one. Which to me is mind boggling, lol.

I just hope the HFPA doesn't hate the film, but there's a good chance they will. SPC could still buy her a nom though. The problem is, will Michelle want to campaign? She'd be crazy not to.

If they are willing to push her, she'd be nuts not to go along, might be her last chance at a Lead nom and she might not get "Career best" raves again, who knows. She has to go with it if the window is open.

I think she might be more willing to campaign for herself this time. The campaign would probably be online interviews/conferences anyway. And she seems to really like the movie and the people involved in it (she called it "top 5 movie experiences"). The same cannot be said with Kyra, she didn't seem to like talking about that one.

I hope someone brings up ‘Kyra’ during these interviews. I’m curious to know what happened and why she didn’t care about that project.

I doubt we'll ever hear a word from her about that film, Lol. Which makes me sad.

I’m curious about Kyra too and agree that she will probably never speak about it publicly.

I really don't like to mention Jeff Wells, because he's a weird person, but he shockingly liked the film and also says: I completely disagree, but the fact that so many people are saying stuff like this maybe will make a big difference in terms of her campaign, if there is one. She will have passionate support. hollywood-elsewhere.com/2020/10/a-good-place-to-die/

Maybe the oscars voters will push back against netflix because movie theatres are in big trouble and they wont wanna over reward nextflix movies. Mich could have a chance

Many pundits are starting to update their predictions:
Chris Beachum = #3 (he's a good pundit, senior editor at Goldderby, he makes predictions all year round for all awards show) Zach Laws = #3 (he's also a regular pundit on Goldderby) Tim Gray #2 (from Variety) Susan King = #4 Brian Truitt - #5 (from USA Today)

But SPC also needs to make a big push with a campaign , we'll see if they even try. A lot of it depends on if Michelle wants to and if they have enough money, because they also need to do a campaign for Hopkins and Colman and THE Father and The Truffle Hunters for the Doc category.

Yeah, let's see if she can sustain this. Also, if I'm not mistaken, when "mother" was finally seen after having a great pre-showing buzz, people immediately started removing her from their predictions. She got raves reviews, but "mother!" was just too out there for the Oscars. She never really had a shot once the movie was seen and everybody removed her from their predix.
The difference with French Exit is that many people still have her in their predictions after having seen the movie. Obviously, this could change once more Best Actress contenders are seen. But I'm still hopeful.

Not much but a mention in The New York Times never hurts. www.nytimes.com/2020/10/14/movies/oscar-season-preview.html"Without any of the usual benchmarks, no contender can truly be counted out until the bitter end: Not upcoming films like “Ammonite” and “French Exit,” which earned polarized festival reviews but still boast attention-getting performances from Winslet and Michelle Pfeiffer, respectively; not even “Tenet,” which was more witheringly received than Christopher Nolan’s last best-picture nominee, “Dunkirk,” but was, for a stretch, the only movie anyone was talking about."

Probably correct but it will be hard. I wonder if SPC might have been better off not even doing a festival and just debuting it in February.

His reaction to the film was similar to mine although I wouldn’t describe it as “entirely engrossing.” But like so many, he affirms how great she is and I felt the same way. Her biggest handicap is the film. She isn’t going to be swept along with a tidal wave of Oscar love for the film. That said, I agree when he says there is a pent-up, collective wish for her to be recognized by the Academy for her body of work. You never know how it’s going to go until the names are called out. We still have a long way to go with the extended eligibility period and there could be a few last minute performances that come out of nowhere.

People are still beating the drum for her. I hope it continues into winter: Great article! My feeling is she's hovering in the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th positions. The good thing is many of the serious contenders have not been seen yet (Hudson, Davis, Loren, Streep, and Adams). There is still a lot of room for these films to crash and burn. And also, you'll just never know. Maybe if she get's a Globe nom, there could be a domino effect where she gets all the precursors, and squeaked her way into the Oscars. It's also possible that she could pick up a surprise critic's prize that could increase her chances. And then there's the possibility that Sony will pull out all the stops and campaign the hell out of the "overdue"" narrative. Let's wait and see.

Good reviews saying she's in the race but nothing earth shattering and the movie is just okay.

Oh yeah, I forgot I saw a writeup of Loren's movie in AwardsDaily. I'm actually ok if Loren gets in. It would be painful though if that's the comeback they chose to embrace.

Who doesn't admire Sophia Loren but she's won already. I'm very interested to see if Hillbilly Elegy is good or as awful as the trailer makes it look. It looks like a Razzy contender to me.

Hillbilly Elegy has pretty bad and good early buzz. Some said it's terrible, others say it's good and important. The annoying thing is, Glenn is probably still getting nominated even if it's really bad because she has a huge narrative after having just lost again, also it's a super baity, deglam role. Funny how actors get nominated and win for bad movies all the time, but Michelle is never that lucky.
