2022 NYFF: James Ivory, Martin Scorsese, Schrader’s She Said, Chukwu’s Till, & Polley’s Women Talking in Spotlight Section

And finally, it is the New York Film Festival that will have lassoed the highly anticipated world premiere to Maria Schrader’s She Said. Initially, when the trailer dropped, we were thinking this might have a run like Spotlight did – securing premieres at the big four fall film festivals. Instead, we got a solo NYC playdate. Universal will launch the film theatrically on November 18th. This stars Adam Shapiro, Zoe Kazan, Carey Mulligan, Samantha Morton, Andre Braugher and Patricia Clarkson. After being a no-show during TIFF announcements, the Spotlight section will also include the world preem for Chinonye Chukwu’s Till – the drama will be showcased on the opening weekend just prior to its theatrical release a couple of weeks later. Sarah Polley’s Women Talking further commits to building buzz via a North America strategy with a premiere showcase here. Luca Guadagnino’s Bones and All (which is headed to the Fantastic fest just prior) will make a pit-stop in New York City as well.
