Ava DuVernay remembers Washington Post film critic Ann Hornaday, honoring the humanity, dignity and respect she brought to film criticism, even when she didn’t love a movie.
In conversation with IndieWire’s Chris O’Falt at Art of the Doc, presented by National Geographic Documentary Films, DuVernay reflects on the relationship between filmmakers and journalists and the importance of telling people’s stories with care.

The first game a game studio makes is usually the most time-consuming, and game a studio ever makes. But it could also be the investment that makes the next 3 games possible at a fraction of the development effort. That shit can't happen if you layoff your team after a launch.

One of the biggest game decompilation tracking sites is sunsetting, because its creator says the increased use of AI by "bad actors" has "broken the community aspect".

Gut punch. The kind and funny and brilliant @AnnHornaday has left us. One of my absolute favorite colleagues during my years at the Washington Post. A delightful movie critic, and a class-act human being. RIP, dear Ann.

Ann Hornaday was one of the few writers I read religiously before joining the Post. Along with Roger Ebert, she's one of my true inspirations. To have worked alongside her was a tremendous honor. An important voice in criticism. I'm heartbroken.

Seen a lot of Nathan For You clips shared around the last few days but haven't yet seen anyone repost the pinnacle of the televisual medium that is Nathan Fielder as Captain Sully landing in the Hudson River as Bring Me to Life by Evanescence plays
I am a big fan of you, don’t get me wrong. but My question is do you think you have any bias as a result of your experience as a journalist in this case?
A few readers have taken me to task for “missing the point of the film,” which is apparently that Elizabeth Holmes is unknowable and everything is ambiguous. Here’s my response: She went after Tyler Shultz and Erika Cheung with everything she had. I was threatened with litigation on a daily basis for months on end. It was a ruthless cover-up of a breathtaking fraud, and she was at the controls. Just a little context for those who have forgotten or didn’t follow the original story. By the way, I loved the film. #BestPicture, IMO.
A ton of people have asked me for my thoughts about “You Can See Everything,” the new Elizabeth Holmes documentary. Here they are: nytimes.com/2026/10/17/busin… via @NYTimes
