"Everything will happen." Utopia has revealed the trailer for an indie gem from Cannes this year called The Sweet East, the new film from indie cinematographer / filmmaker Sean Price Williams. It premiered in the Directors' Fortnight at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, then went on to play at the Karlovy Vary, Melbourne, London, New York, Ghent, and Philadelphia Film Festivals this year. Here's the intro: "The mental, social & political disarray of the United States, filmed like a game of hopscotch or a variation on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. High school student Lillian runs away on a school trip and, through a series of encounters, traverses the spectrum of contemporary radicalism & madness, from white supremacists to Islamic radicals, from neo-punks to woke avant-gardists." Talia Ryder stars as Lillian, with an eccentric ensemble cast featuring Earl Cave, Simon Rex, Ayo Edebiri, Jeremy O. Harris, Jacob Elordi, Rish Shah, Gibby Haynes, and Jack Irv.

Buzz around Sean Price Williams’ feature-directing debut The Sweet East has been high since its debut at Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight. Working from a script by critic Nick Pinkerton, the aesthetic-defining Dp’s road trip finds Talia Ryder meeting a rogue’s gallery––Jacob Elordi, Simon Rex, Ayo Edebri, Jeremy O. Harris, and Andy Milonakis among them––and word’s consistently pegged it as one of 2023’s funniest. With Utopia releasing The Sweet East on December 1, there’s a trailer.
Rory O’Connor was taken with the film at Cannes, saying “Working from a script co-written with the influential critic Nick Pinkerton, Sean Price Williams’ punky directorial debut boasts both the cinematographer’s signature aesthetic and Pinkerton’s idiosyncratic, roguish worldview. Premiering this week in Directors’ Fortnight, The Sweet East––seemingly taking cues from John Waters––is cinema at its most playfully facetious, infectiously puerile, and flagrantly transgressive, and an early highlight...

Separated from her schoolmates, she embarks on a fractured road trip in search of America. Along the way, she falls in with a variety of strange factions, each living out their own alternative realities in our present day.
Jacob Elordi, Jeremy O. Harris, Ayo Edebiri, Simon Rex, Early Cave, Rish Shah, and Gibby Haynes also star as the outrageous characters Lillian meets along the way home.

Morgan Kohan has some disappointing news about When Hope Calls. In a recent interview, she hinted that she likely would not return for a second season of the When Calls the Heart spinoff series.

When Hope Calls premiered in 2019 and was renewed for a second season in 2021. A Christmas special aired later that year on Great American Family, but since then, there’s been no word on when – or if – additional episodes will ever air.

There are several characters in The Changeling, but no one is as laden with secrets as to merit an entire episode dedicated to them— except Lillian. Lillian Kagwa, who fled from Uganda and came to America seeking a better life, found herself alone and frightened, even after marrying Brian, the cop. Her heart was a chamber of secrets, and she couldn’t ever really open it up to anyone because she thought she couldn’t afford to. Apollo was the apple of her eye, and when he, too, shunned her, she knew it was time to leave a message behind for him to discover. Let’s take a closer look at the character, which has been portrayed by two actors. The younger version is played by Alexis Louder, and the older one is played by Adina Porter.

The AppleTV+ series The Changeling is a weird concoction of family drama, mystery, thriller, and an absurd horror tale, borrowing elements from Greek and Norse mythology. There are many lenses through which one can look at each episode, but the best way to not lose track is to stick to the characters. The central theme of the story is parenthood, and Lakeith Stanfield plays Apollo Kagwa. Apollo married Emma Valentine, and they gave birth to Brian, named after Apollo’s father. The tale takes a gory turn when Emma does something unthinkable to Brian. Apollo, who had his own issues growing up, is a complex character that is portrayed sincerely by Stanfield. Let’s take a closer look at Apollo Kagwa.

The third episode of The Changeling finally revealed what Emma did to Brian and Apollo, and it is terrifying. The series seems to be coming into its own, and in the third episode, we got a hint about the ‘fairytale’ aspect of the series, which up until now had just been lurking in the background. The incident with Emma gutted Apollo, and he found a few things in the aftermath. He was told a secret that his mother, Lillian, had kept hidden from him right from the beginning. It demystifies Apollo’s childhood to a certain extent, but Lillian’s secret may not reveal the entire truth to Apollo about Brian, his father. There is a lot to unpack, so here is a recap:

In the previous episode, Emma was on the verge of doing something drastic because no one seemed to understand her anxiety.

The Changeling promised twisted fairytales, and that's what we got with the three-episode premiere.
Unfortunately, despite an excellent plot and flawless acting, the new Apple TV+ horror fantasy struggles out of the gate because of its dreadful attempt to tell a story across multiple timelines.
The Changeling Season 1 Episode 1 started strongly enough, but the pace slowed considerably on The Changeling Season 1 Episode 2, and The Changeling Season 1 Episode 3 became the biggest chore to watch.
It's unfortunate because Lakeith Stanfield and Clark Backo turn in awards-worthy performances as this husband and wife whose lives are changed forever, seemingly out of nowhere.
The series needed to establish this bond between Apollo and Emmy off the bat because it made the horror they endured so much more challenging to watch.
Don't get me wrong: Many scenes could have been left on the cutting room floor because we understood their bond when they saw each other.

After setting up the backstory of Apollo in the previous episode, the second episode of The Changeling deals with Emma and her backstory. She gave birth to her son, whom Apollo named Brian after his father. Emma initially enjoyed the miracle of motherhood, but as time passed, something started to shift in her. All this seems linked to the wishes she had made in front of the old woman, who had tied a red string on her wrist. As far as Apollo was concerned, he was a great father, taking care of the family and involving his mother, Lillian, as well. The second episode was more restrained than the first one, as it got more psychological. The horrors that surround Emma are much more mysterious, and nobody seems to be helping her.

There are always fresher ways of telling a story. Storytellers ruminate on a fresh approach that would revitalize the whole form. Filmmakers are not much different. They have to dabble in the narrative, and they, too, are constantly looking for a fresh vision. The new series, The Changeling, does seem very offbeat in its approach to storytelling. Based on the novel of the same name by Victor Lavalle, The Changeling presents us with an alternate version of New York City in the hopes that it can then tell a fairy tale of epic proportions. This fairy tale is quite unusual, as it contains elements of horror as well, and at times, things become so nerve-wracking that it’s hard to process anything. The first episode keeps things very grounded, but introduces aspects of the horror and fantasy worlds to get us prepared for the upcoming episodes. Here is a recap...

Apple TV+ is launching the genre-blending The Changeling on September 8, 2023 with the release of the first three episodes. Oscar nominee Lakeith Stanfield leads the cast of what the streaming service describes as a fairytale for grown-ups, a horror story, and a parenthood fable.
Joining Stanfield (“Apollo Kagwa”) in the eight-episode series are Clark Backo (“Emmy”), Adina Porter (“Lillian Kagwa”), Samuel T. Herring (“William Wheeler”), Alexis Louder (“young Lillian”), and Jared Abrahamson (“Brian West”). Malcolm Barrett (“Patrice”) is featured as a special guest star.
Just ahead of its premiere, the drama based on Victor Lavalle’s bestselling novel sits at 75% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Huff Post’s Candice Frederick says “The Changeling is an extravagant genre offering about… well, many different things. Most profoundly, it’s about the natural horrors of life and death — as well as the stories we tell ourselves and those we love.”

In both dating and television, first impressions are everything. The Changeling begins with a meet-cute between used book dealer Apollo (Lakeith Stanfield) and librarian Emma (Clark Backo). She initially rejects Apollo, only for him to return continually to her workplace to ask her out again. The Apple TV+ show’s omniscient male narrator insists that while some would consider this “stalking,” he, gallingly, sees it simply as “persistence.”
The Changeling flashes back to the story of Apollo’s mother, Lillian (initially played by Alexis Louder and later by Adina Porter), who’s similarly pursued by Brian (Jared Abrahamson), a man who struggles with accepting the word “no.” She also, for some reason, finds this characteristic endearing. The series predominantly focuses on Apollo and Emma as they fall in love, move in together, and have a child, returning intermittently to Lillian’s story as she struggles to raise Apollo single-handedly after Brian disappears.
