Fresh off its world premiere at the Berlinale in February and its North American premiere at the Hudson Film Festival earlier this month, Rebecca Miller‘s “She Came To Me” arrives in theaters in September. And for Miller’s first narrative feature in eight years, she crafts a tale about every artist’s worst nightmare: a creative block and the unlikely sources one needs to disentangle from it.

The last time actor Peter Dinklage and musician Bryce Dessner were involved in the same project, we got “Cyrano,” Joe Wright’s beautifully moving (if underappreciated) adaptation of Edmond Rostand’s classic play “Cyrano de Bergerac.” Less than two years later, Dinklage and Dessner reunite once more in Rebecca Miller’s “She Came to Me,” the opening film of this year’s Berlin International Film Festival.

A new film from acclaimed filmmaker Rebecca Miller is enough to get anyone excited. But add to it the fact that the new feature, “She Came to Me,” has an incredible cast led by Anne Hathaway, and suddenly, the romantic comedy is one of our most-anticipated releases of the next couple of years.

Rebecca Miller, who previously helmed films such as “Maggie’s Plan,” “The Private Lives of Pippa Lee,” and “Personal Velocity,” is set to helm a new rom-com titled, “She Came to Me.” And sweetening the deal is the fact that the cast is set to be led by Anne Hathaway, Tahar Rahim, Marisa Tomei, Joanna Kulig, and Matthew Broderick.

“When you start a play do you start with a character,” asks Arthur Miller‘s daughter, Rebecca. His reply: “A person. A human being.” 

From HBO Documentary Films “Arthur Miller: Writer” is coming to the small screen soon, and judging by the new trailer, audiences will get a glimpse at the personal life of the revered playwright. Directed by his daughter, Rebecca Miller, the documentary is not just a retrospective of the life of one of the most beloved creative figures in American history, but also a collection of home movies and intimate interviews between a father and a daughter.

Few if any artists can equal the run of successes that Arthur Miller enjoyed on the New York stage from the end of World War II to the mid-fifties that included “All My Sons,” “Death of a Salesman,” “The Crucible,” and “A View from the Bridge.” Those plays, among the best ever written in America, are intertwined with that era, both bringing Miller immense success at the time and serving as guides to future generations hoping to understand that time and its values.

The narrative that we paint each and every time Adam Sandler deems us worthy to experience a “serious” (re: not terrible) performance from him needs to die. When there are so many talented and versatile performers in the world who would love to hold the clout Sandler does in Hollywood, the idea that we clamor to enthusiastically support Sandler’s non-just for the paycheck/only ever for the paycheck roles is embarrassing. Not pushing out trash on a consistent basis (with seemingly the knowledge of what it is) isn’t anything commendable.

Rebecca Miller continues to be arguably one of the most undervalued directors — female or not — working right now. Despite assembling an impressive body of work including “The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee,” “The Ballad Of Jack And Rose,” “Personal Velocity,” and most recently, the utterly charming “Maggie’s Plan,” her films don’t tend to breakout beyond the arthouse.

Life is unpredictable, love is complicated and will make you sick with happiness and nauseous from despair, and children will change everything you know about being an adult in an instant. Try as you might, there is nothing you can control about what fate may have laying in wait for you around the next corner. However, Maggie (Greta Gerwig) is determined to make her own happiness, rather than wait for circumstance to serve it up for her.

Rebecca Miller has created a screwball comedy for the rest of us. She smartly tackles modern family planning, the conundrum of destiny and has a Kathleen Hanna cameo in her latest film? In a recent sitdown with the Playlist, she discussed “Maggie’s Plan,” a brilliant blend of the absurd, the cerebral, and, for good measure, a touch of Shakespearian scheming. The film examines the folly of real life through singular, off-beat characters, banter and delicious detail, in which the writer-director gleefully disposes every rom-com trope.

We saw this one at TIFF last week and while it’s getting rave reviews in some circles and we’re generally fans of Miller’s work, like “The Ballad Of Jack & Rose,” it’s uneven and imperfect. However, it does still leave an impact (there are a few killer scenes too), that’s mostly due to the performances. Lead actress Robin Wright Penn is generating Oscar talk from her subtle performance, and she was strong, but we weren’t necessarily blown away by her character having a nervous breakdown in the suburbs as she revisits her murky and forgotten past.

“The Private Lives of Pippa Lee,” is very much in the latter category, a film we knew little of, but wanted to learn more about.

Starring Robin Wright Penn, who is earning rave reviews in some circles for her supposedly nuanced performance, it’s directed by Rebbecca Miller.

Here’s your first look at Natalie Portman in “Love and Other Impossible Pursuits.” Directed by Don Roos (“The Opposite of Sex”), the picture chronicles the life of a home-wrecker of sorts. According to TIFF, “after winning Jack (Scott Cohen) away from his wife Carolyn (Lisa Kudrow), [Portman’s character] finds herself immersed in the cross-currents of a new hybrid family.
