Celebrity-fan encounters have become the internet’s bread-and-butter in 2023; every user-driven rabbit hole from Reddit to the gossip pages of Instagram (shoutout to deuxmoi) is full of supposed insider info on who’s a sweetheart, and who’s an Irl monster. There’s almost a currency to having met a famous person, and everyone online, anonymous or not, is keen to sell their story – mostly just for clout over any actual cash. So whether you’re an actor or a musician, or even just a familiar-face from a meme, the message is the same: play nice, or be prepared to face the social media backlash.
It’s a dangerous world to navigate, especially for working actors like Faceless After Dark star Jenna Kanell, who co-writes this sharp, scathing home invasion thriller about just that, an often deadly relationship with the spotlight.
Former Hollywood final girl Bowie (Kanell) is still followed everywhere she goes,...

The Columnist (Ivo van Aart)
Never read the comments—a universal rule for all writers who publish, share, or create on the internet. No matter what you say or how you say it, there will always be a troll ready to disparage your work or you personally. They don’t need a reason beyond their ability to do so. They don’t need a salient point either. And it’s precisely because they possess neither that they ultimately live rent-free inside the minds of everyone they attack with artificial anonymity. One doesn’t even have to read their words to feel their pain because knowing they exist eats at you regardless.

Because doing so gives them credence. Fearing such comments only fuels their authors to strike again.
This is precisely why director Ivo van Aart and screenwriter Daan Windhorst’s De kuthoer [The Columnist] is a success.

While our massive summer preview will give you an in-depth look at the films we’re most looking forward to over the next four months, it’s time to dive a bit deeper into May. As theaters reopen, more films than ever will head exclusively to the silver screen first, but there’s still plenty of at-home offerings for those awaiting their vaccination. Check out our preview below.
13. Those Who Wish Me Dead (Taylor Sheridan)
After scripting the acclaimed Sicario and Hell or High Water, Taylor Sheridan embarked on his second directorial feature, Wind River, which I was fairly mixed on at its Sundance premiere. However, I am curious about his follow-up, Those Who Wish Me Dead, starring Angelina Jolie, Nicholas Hoult, Aidan Gillen, Finn Little, Jon Bernthal, and Tyler Perry. Based on Michael Koryta’s novel, it’s a survival thriller set amongst the Montana wilderness as a fire blazes.

A month before Emerald Fennell’s eventual Best Picture nominee “Promising Young Woman” debuted at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, a tonal twin bowed in its native Netherlands, as Ivo van Aart’s brittle and occasionally brutal “The Columnist” first arrived in its homeland in December of 2019. Two years (and one Oscar for Fennell) later, van Aart’s festival favorite is finally available for wider consumption, and while it will likely inspire all sorts of comparisons, its , makes it a stellar companion for Fennell’s film.
It’s not as refined as Fennell’s own debut, but van Aart’s feature directorial debut, with a script by his long-time creative partner Daan Windhorst, often delights in the kind of bluntness that Fennell’s film studiously avoids for most of its running time. And while that is pleasurable in fits and starts, the overall result is a jumpy, fast-tracked feel and an...

An official selection at Fantasia Film Festival and the Telluride Horror Show, Film Movement has unveiled the new trailer for the Dutch horror comedy The Columnist, starring Westworld alum Katja Herbers, and directed by Ivo Van Aart, scheduled for a digital release on May 7 in the US..
Femke (Herbers) is a journalist who needs to work on her manuscript, but becomes distracted by intimidating and threatening comments on social media. Her friends, publicist, and agent encourage her to ignore the nasty comments, but Femke has determined the only way to commence work on her manuscript is to exact bloody revenge on her cyberbullies one by one.
Our dispatch by Matt Cipolla highlights the film’s flaws, saying, “Daan Windhorst’s script is never too keyed into Internet culture or the themes he and director Ivo van Aart try to address. It finds its mix of satire and black comedy in the last 15 minutes,...

"Don't read the comments." Film Movement has revealed yet another new US trailer for the Dutch revenge thriller The Columnist, from filmmaker Ivo van Aart. This premiered at numerous genre film festivals last year including Fantasia, FrightFest, and the Telluride Horror Show. Columnist and author Femke is flooded with anonymous nasty messages and death threats on social media. One day she has enough and decides to take revenge. A "cautionary tale" about what happens when someone decides to go after the mean comments online. Starring Katja Herbers as Femke, with Genio de Groot, Rein Hofman, Bram van der Kelen, and Achraf Koutet. This looks so wicked, twisted, and provocative. From Zofia's review: "The Columnist is a thought-provoking, controversial picture that is an absolute must watch." Oh I really need to see this film. Here's the new official US trailer (+ poster) for Ivo van Aart's The Columnist, direct from YouTube:...

There is absurdist carnage as a journalist takes bloody real-life revenge on the keyboard warriors tormenting her
To paraphrase Nietzsche: gaze too long into Twitter, and Twitter will gaze into you. Anyone who writes for a living on the internet has surely fantasised about payback time for all the keyboard warriors, callous below-the-liners and unrepentant trolls out there. Ivo van Aart’s movie gives full rein to that desire and is snappily directed – but in the end there is something self-satisfied and sententious about his feminist revenge flick.
Katja Herbers plays Femke Boot, a newspaper columnist drowning in internet misogyny, especially after she steps out of her usual lifestyle remit to write an op-ed about Zwarte Piet, the Dutch blackface folkloric character. Her book publisher is pressurising her for juicier material to better compete with author-of-the-hour Steven Dood (Steven Death), a kohl-rimmed provocateur who savages her on a chatshow. Umbilically...

The Columnist is very much a movie that could have only been made in the last ten years. There have been a few movies based on a similar story in the last few years, and it is a story that I very much enjoy because it generally covers awful people having awful things happen to them. Something I never tire of seeing.
This story follows columnist and author Femke Boot, who every day receives nasty messages, insults and death threats via social media about the (not very controversial) things she writes.

With each October comes the Chicago International Film Festival, but with 2020 also comes a pandemic. Yes, Ciff is rightfully falling in the same school as several other festivals this year. It’s virtual! Of course, that means I get to sit giddy and bleary-eyed in my apartment for days on end instead of downtown. Insert a joke here about this being the future liberals want. The future is still a thing, right?
But enough of that. This year, the festival’s 56th iteration is keeping the communal experience alive against all odds. By expanding its Special Presentations program into Special Presentations and Drive-Ins, Ciff is showing a handful of their selections at ChiTown Movies at 2343 S. Throop St.
Alas, I don’t have a car. That’s okay, though; my first movie turned out to be quite good. It was Sabine Lubbe Bakker & Niels van Koevorden’s Becoming Mona (Grade:...

From women scorned to spandex-clad vigilante justice; the avenging fury has had many different faces, but few have proven quite as refreshing and timely as Katja Herbers’ titular columnist, in Ivo van Aart’s hugely twisted and shamelessly cathartic Dutch black comedy. As scathingly funny as it is deeply unsettling, The Columnist is one of cinema’s most fully-formed takes on internet trolling to date, and both its killer lead and powerful central debate on freedom of speech are destined to stick with you for long after its dynamite final frame.
Taking its lead from the casually perverse side of mainstream social media, van Aart’s film follows much derided journalist Femke Boot (Herbers), who finds her writing career somewhat scuppered when her obsession with Twitter trolls takes over her ability to focus. Lost in an online labyrinth of all-too-real ‘reply-guys’, calling her everything from an unfit mother to a straight-up pedophile,...

It’s Frightfest time again, and this year’s line-up ranges from romcoms to revenge to cannibal feasts. These are five of the films that will really give you something to chew on.

The Columnist
Do you believe in freedom of speech, no matter what? Femke (Katja Herbers) does. Do you think people on the internet should be able to say whatever they like about you and your loved ones? Femke most certainly does not. After a light-hearted column about the joy of a soft boiled egg prompts a particularly nasty wave of misogynist comments, she decides she’s going to do something about it. Ivo van Aart’s deft black comedy chronicles her bloody revenge spree whilst making smart observations about power, class and hypocrisy.

Ever thought about hitting a Twitter troll in the head with a frying pan and then cutting one of his typing fingers off? Well, The Columnist executes just that, letting the audience live that fantasy through Femke Boot (Katja Herbers), an author, columnist, and single mother who’s been getting hate messages and death threats over a column she wrote. In director Ivo van Aart’s third feature written by Daan Windhorst characters ask questions like, “Why can’t we just have different opinions and be nice about it?” and say that words are just words, the internet isn’t real, and it’s as simple as, her boyfriend (Bram van der Kelen) says, never reading the comments. But like Femke, most of us can’t help reading the comments. The Dutch film emphasizes – through Femke’s daughter Anna’s (Claire Porro) self-assertiveness at school – the importance of free speech...

Screened as a selection of the virtual 2020 Fantasia Film Festival. Shortly after watching The Columnist, I noticed that Twitter enabled a very interesting feature – you can now control who can reply to your tweets. It would be a highly valuable benefit for Femke Boot (played by Dutch actress Katja Herbers), the titular columnist of a local newspaper, and author of an upcoming book. The film, directed by Ivo van Aart (of Quantum Zeno) and written by Daan Windhorst, is a powerful revenge comedy horror and a cautionary tale that perfectly connects to contemporary culture, teaching us an important lesson. Plus, it's bloody good fun. Femke has one simple intention - she wants to stop hate on social media platforms. It's something that she writes about and speaks out about. After signing a contract for a book, her deadline approaches. Instead, she cannot stop scrolling through her Twitter page and reading hurtful comments from users.

The Netherlands-based company Dutch Features has acquired a pair of action-packed series, “Rogue Justice” and “The Columnist,” in the run up to Mipcom.
“Rogue Justice,” produced by leading Dutch company Pupkin Film, is mainly set on the tropical island of Bonaire and revolves around two elite cops Willem (Dennis van de Ven) and Theo who go rogue as they follow a trail of a stolen work of art.
The three-part miniseries, which will also be available as a feature-length film, is currently in production for the Dutch public broadcaster Npo 3. “Rogue Justice” is expected to be delivered early 2020.
“The Columnist,” meanwhile, is a revenge thriller starring Katja Herbers (“West World”) as a columnist who continuously has to deal with threats and negative comments on her social media pages. One day, she has had enough and decides to hunt down on her trolls.
