Overview

• Roberts made her first appearance at the Venice Film Festival with Luca Guadagnino’s Amazon-produced psychological drama set in Yale’s philosophy department.
• The story follows Roberts as a professor navigating fallout after a student accuses a colleague, with Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri co-starring and Michael Stuhlbarg as her husband.
• Roberts told reporters the goal is to get audiences talking, not to issue a statement, echoing Guadagnino’s framing of a collision of personal truths.
• Early coverage emphasizes the film’s deliberate ambiguity and its engagement with #MeToo-era questions about power, feminism and campus culture.
• Multiple outlets report the title screened out of competition at the 82nd Mostra, though some accounts conflicted, and there were no award or distribution updates.
