Angelina Jolie shone alongside three of her children, Pax, Zahara and Maddox, on the New York Film Festival red carpet

The New York Film Festival opened on September 27 with the premiere of 'Nickel Boys,' which wowed and divided audiences in equal measure.

Standout selections include “Nickel Boys,” the Mumbai-set “All We Imagine as Light” and the documentary “Dahomey,” about African repatriation.

Like many of the fall film festivals, New York Film Festival had to mount its 2023 edition during the actors strike and without major stars like Emma Stone ("Poor Things"), Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore ("May December") or Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal ("All of Us Strangers") in attendance to promote their movies.

On the latest 'Screen Talk,' we share our most-anticipated New York Film Festival premieres, plus an interview with Alex Ross Perry.

Buzzy features starring Angelina Jolie, Zoe Saldaña, Daniel Craig, and more will be the talk of awards season.

Also: Rachel Syme on chef-designed weed gummies, the confessional songs of boygenius’s Julien Baker, the return of “Forbidden Broadway,” and more.
