Ian McKellen pays tribute to Patrick Stewart, his close friend of many years:
“Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love,” McKellen wrote on Instagram.
“America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire.”
“His farewell performance in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ is yet to be seen,” McKellen concluded.

“The documentary is a towering achievement of cinéma vérité, capturing a period that influenced [William] Greaves and many others – the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s”

I went into Digger expecting another climate sermon.
Then Iñárritu turned the joke on the jesters.
Tom Cruise is magnificent. The film is stranger, smarter, and more subversive than its critics realize.

Wow the #Digger film is as good as Brecht or Max Beckmann for me. I think Orson Welles would have loved it

Student journalists rock. Most people moved on from the 2024 report of a terrible rape at Cornell, but the @cornellsun wouldn't let go and pushed for accountability. nytimes.com/2026/09/29/nyreg… by @emmabgo

“Digger” is a truly masterful film that may not belong in this era. It’s a film that requires patience and provokes thought. Yes, it’s challenging but that isn’t a cinematic sin. Tom Cruise delivers arguably his best overall performance since “Born on the 4th of July.” The commitment and execution is flawless. It’s a transformative performance that helps uplift the entire supporting cast. Everyone came to play ball but no one wanted to be completely out done by Cruise. The result is a terrific ensemble cast, particularly Riz Ahmed and John Goodman, that deserves serious attention when it comes to the casting Oscar. Alejandro G. Inarritu takes big swings with most working. His pacing is deliberate which may cause concern for some viewers but I’ve never imagined Inarritu waking up and eating a Pop Tart. This is real cinema. Excellent cinema. Game changing cinema. It’s a lot of fun watching something special unfold. But I’m a cinephile. “Digger” may be conceptually too sophisticated and a tad too dark for some — which is a tragic concern. But if you are looking for something different and bold “Digger” is your ticket.
