Overview

• Amazon MGM says the film opens in New York and Los Angeles on October 10, offers Prime members a one-night early-access screening on October 15, and expands nationwide on October 17.
• Julia Roberts leads Luca Guadagnino’s psychological drama as a college professor confronting a student’s accusation against a colleague and pressures tied to her past.
• Ayo Edebiri and Andrew Garfield co-star, Nora Garrett wrote the screenplay, and the production is from Imagine Entertainment and Guadagnino’s Frenesy for Amazon MGM Studios.
• Festival reactions have been split since Venice and largely lukewarm at the New York Film Festival, with praise for performances and craft and recurring criticism of the script and a near 2-hour-20-minute runtime.
• Industry coverage now sees a tougher path to the Oscars for the film and suggests the Golden Globes could be a more viable awards lane.
