I moderated a screening there about 10 years ago when it opened withOn Golden Ponddirector Mark Rydell.

The director liked it so much that eventually he moved in.

We even got to go to the Vanity Fair party.

Pamela Anderson was there, he laughed about the star who also is on the awards circuit this year.

It shows the power of great editing, he wrote.

Beautifully directed by Tim Fehlbaum.

Sheds a new light on a story I thought I knew everything about.

Must see on the big screen.

Eggerss direction is masterful and Lily-Rose Depp and Nicholas Hoult deserve best actor noms.

Glorious cinematography, score, production design and editing.

My god this an incredible film.

Lets just hope it doesnt knockAnoraout of the race (!).

1 (at least for Stone):Wicked.

All the more amazing that he pulled it off with a Hollywood studio.

Can she break through in the impossibly crowded Lead Actress Oscar race?

Now I dont remember much about it, she said.

It was great, like it just came outof nowhere.

Now everybodys got their own little award show.

But then there were only a couple, and it wasnt something that was sort of televised in London.

I know people who have got elements of Pansy in them, she said.

I think we all have, to be quite honest with you.

I think most of us have just a bit more self-control.

You know, both in a lot of pain, both somewhat emotionally disabled.

And I think its interesting, she said.

Yeah, it becomes part of their identity.

And clearly she cant get out.

And as for working with Mike Leigh again?

Hopefully it doesnt take another 28 years.

Its a full-body experience, if you know what I mean, she says.

Your imagination is working on steroids, and you end up with this wonderful thing.
