Whether it’s Lisbeth Salander, defining that rebel on the big screen in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, or Elizabeth Shaw in Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, one of seven identical sisters in What Happened to Monday, Rapace is an actress who isn’t afraid to be \[…\] The post ‘Hot Spot’ Interview: Noomi… ## [‘The Magic Faraway Tree’ Interview: Andrew Garfield, Claire Foy, And Ben Gregor On Adapting Enid Blyton’s Beloved Book](https://punchdrunkcritics.com/2026/08/the-magic-faraway-tree-interview-andrew-garfield-claire-foy-and-ben-gregor-on-adapting-enid-blytons-beloved-book/) _2026-08-21 · Travis Hopson · Punch Drunk Critics_ Looking back at the careers of Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy, it can be hard to find a lot of joyful stuff. Obviously, Garfield played Spider-Man for a few years so that’s not completely the case. And there’s something inspirational to be found in their previous film together, 2017’s Breathe, about a disabled man overcoming \[…\] The post ‘The Magic Faraway Tree’ Interview: Andrew Garfield, Claire… ## [‘Spa Weekend’ Interview: Leslie Mann, Isla Fisher, Michelle Buteau, Anna Faris, And Adam Demos Talk Female Friendships, Goat Yoga, And More](https://punchdrunkcritics.com/2026/08/spa-weekend-interview-leslie-mann-isla-fisher-michelle-buteau-anna-faris-and-adam-demos-talk-female-friendships-goat-yoga-and-more/) _2026-08-21 · Travis Hopson · Punch Drunk Critics_ Sometimes, when you interview stars of a movie about friendship, you can tell that these people don’t really care for one another. The first thing that hit me while talking with the cast and creatives of the new comedy, Spa Weekend, is how close they are as actual friends.

The first one, released in 2020, was a solid military actioner led by Chris Hemsworth and director Sam Hargrave in his directorial debut.
