The 59th Karlovy Vary Film Festival was held from July 4 to August 25, 2025, and I had the pleasure of attending once again on behalf of Collider. It’s hard to describe the eight days in the small, picturesque town an hour and a half outside Prague, the Czech Republic’s capital. While a festival like Cannes is non-stop stress, frazzled writers downing free Nespresso and vaping and smoking the deadline anxiety away, everyone in Karlovy is just soaking up the atmosphere....

A little over a year after the release ofRobert Zemeckis’s genre-defining blockbusterBack to the Future, legendary auteurFrances Ford Coppolareleased the critically acclaimed suburban fantasyPeggy Sue Got Married, which reframed time travel storytelling as a subtle act of memory excavation rather than a scientific experiment of historical alteration. Focused onKathleen Turner’s titular protagonist as she magically returns to her youth after passing out at her high school reunion,Peggy Sue Got Marriedimmediately avoids prioritizing scientific jargon or overwrought exposition to explain Peggy Sue’s transition into the past; instead, the time travel experience at the film’s center more closely mirrors the self-investigation that George Bailey (James Stewart) encounters in the existential fantasy near the end ofIt’s a Wonderful Lifethan the urgent expedition from the 1950s inBack to the Future....
