February may be the shortest of the year but Amazon Prime Video has crammed its schedule full of treats. The streaming service has confirmed that “Hunters,” a new series from “Us” director Jordan Peele, will start its run this month. Al Pacino stars in his first TV series as a Nazi hunter working in 1977 New York City with a young crew led by Logan Lerman.
In addition, we get the second half of the first season of “Clifford” as well as the debut of a documentary series about the NFL team in the City of Brotherly Love, “All or Nothing: The Philadelphia Eagles.”
Also look for the premiere of the feature film “Honey Boy.” Shia Labeouf wrote this heartfelt film about his troubled childhood and plays a character inspired by his father.

Next month, Hulu will ring in Valentine’s Day with some counterprogramming. The streaming service will debut its original series “High Fidelity,” a gender-swapped reimagining of Nick Hornby’s novel of the same name. Previously, the book was adapted into a 2000 movie from Stephen Frears starring John Cusack. Zoë Kravitz stars as Rob Brooks, a music-obsessive record store owner in Brooklyn re-examining her previous romantic relationships to figure out what went wrong.
On the film front, the “Bridget Jones” trilogy, “Buffalo ’66,” “The Fugitive,” “Ghost” and “When Harry Met Sally” are among the new selections being offered in February. Releases from last year, like “Where’d You Go, Bernadette” and “Tyler Perry’s A Madea Family Funeral,” are also making their way onto the platform.
New seasons of reality series like “The Voice” and “American Idol” will also be available to stream later in the month.

Exclusive: Katie Holmes on How Suri Influenced Her Directorial Debut: 'I Know Myself Better Because of Her'
"When I'm not on set, I'm being a mom. I'm doing mom stuff," the 37-year-old actress says in a new interview with Modern Luxury.
"When I go to an event, I leave at 10 p.m. because it's really important to me to be a mom that is dependable," she shares.

Lost in the night
Every year, numerous films are made about the experiences of people living with mental health challenges, but they’re very rarely made by people who know what that feels like. Touched With Fire is an exception. It’s the story of a relationship that develops between two people who meet in a psychiatric institution and find themselves torn between the ecstasy of heightened emotion and the need to cope in the real world. Paul Dalio, who directs with remarkable confidence given that this is his first feature, used elements of his own story in developing the script. He hopes that the film will help other people to better understand what it means to be bipolar, and so far it’s proving a success.

In a world where having a mental disorder is treated as a hugely negative and stigmatized scenario, actor, writer, and director Paul Dalio hopes that his film, Touched With Fire, might help change people’s minds about people who are bipolar, and who have mental illnesses in general.
Starring Katie Holmes and Luke Kirby as title characters Carla and Marco, the film features two poets who are bipolar and fall in love in a hospital after getting into some trouble when trying to live on their own. Soon enough, they go through various stages of emotions and relationship statuses until they have to bring their relationship to light with their parents, played by Christine Lahti, Griffan Dunne, and Bruce Altman.

Touched with Fire asks whether love between two thirty-something adults with bipolar disorder can be successful, loosely wondering about the intersection of sensuality, realism, and mental illness. It seems interested to extract a rubric explaining the connection between people with mental illness who are creatives. The film meanders through this exploration rather than makes up its mind as a creative drama or a serious character study where we could feel immediate pathos for the couple’s suffering and willfully involve ourselves in their situation (which could be an educational, engrossing filmic experience if well-presented). Contemporary films about mental illness such as Girl, Interrupted and A Beautiful Mind achieve this by stripping away characters’ “faces,” showing them as raw and realistic from the beginning. Disappointingly, this doesn’t happen in Touched with Fire. It takes time before New York City poets Carla (Katie Holmes) and Marco (Luke Kirby) approach identities more recognizably meaningful,...

After a successful premiere back at SXSW last year, Touched With Fire is finally in theatres and earning itself much critical praise.
Revolving around two bipolar poets who meet in a psychiatric hospital and fall in love, the film is winning audiences over thanks to its touching story, a thoughtful approach to some of the provocative subject matter and strong performances from the entire cast, with standout work from Katie Holmes and Luke Kirby.
During the NYC press day for Touched With Fire, which took place earlier this month, we had to chance to sit down for an exclusive interview with both Holmes and Kirby, where they spoke about how they approached their roles, how they conveyed the physicality of their characters, creating backstories to work with and more.

Chicago – How do you explain air? That is what our thoughts are, after all – carbon-based cells interacting with circumstantial environment, sending the “message.” What if those cells send the thought receiver something outside “normal”? This is the exploration in the new film ‘Touched With Fire.’
Rating: 3.5/5.0
This is narrative fiction, but it brings out another side of the debate regarding the mental condition, and the judgement associated with it. The main characters in the film have Bipolar Disorder. Now, notice the word “disorder” – out of order, not orderly. The medical profession has defined the Bipolar condition is an anomaly. “Touched With Fire” seeks to take back the disorderly part of that definition, and doe it through the story of two people who take it to another place. There are clichés in the film, and scenes that were a bit too cute, but the writer/director Paul Dalio actually has Bipolar condition,...

Chicago – The status of individual mental acuity and control is like the fingerprint of the brain. There are disorders that have been diagnosed, which alters that fingerprint into different types of behavior. A new film, “Touched with Fire” – directed by Paul Dalio and featuring lead actor Luke Kirby – seeks to bridge an understanding of Bipolar Condition, the particular mental journey of highest (and ultra-creative) highs and mind numbing lows.
That was a one sentence attempt at trying to explain a complex state of being – an affected individual’s behavior is like a snowflake, different in all. In his new film “Touched With Fire,” writer/director Paul Dalio seeks to provide normalization to the Bipolar nature, in a fictional narrative. Actor Luke Kirby, a TV and film journeyman, has a career defining performance as Marco, a writer who goes from independence to institutions to his parent’s home, never seemingly under control.

Review by Dana Jung
Two powerful performances dominate the new film Touched With Fire, which examines the sometimes blurry line between genius and madness. Carla (Katie Holmes, who also co-produced) and Marco (Luke Kirby, seen recently on TVs Rectify) are two creative and restless poets who are also bi-polar. They each display an almost obsessive need to write and perform their verse at local poetry bars. After a chance meeting attending group therapy in the mental ward of a hospital, the two find in each other a kindred spirit with a common bond—the burning need to create.
Though not really a film version of the book Touched With Fire, the film is informed by the basic themes of that work. Published in 1993, and subtitled “Manic-Depressive Illness and the Artistic Temperament,” Touched With Fire was written by Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison, a clinical psychologist and Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University.

Depicting mental illness in film is hard for two reasons. One is the fact that actors are playacting. This may not be the case across the board—performances could be inferred from personal experience—but I’d say a majority comes from a place of research and mimicry. The second reason deals with audiences having preconceived notions about mental illness that are generally misguided. It’s difficult to show someone an honest portrayal when they don’t believe it’s honest. Perhaps filmmakers shouldn’t care about this subsection of viewers because they’re walking that line for the afflicted so they can see they aren’t alone. Expand that circle to include individuals willing to learn and replace false truths and you find those who Paul Dalio hopes appreciate Touched With Fire.

People living with mental illness often strive to not allow their disease define who they are, and how they fit into society. However, the way they contend with their treatment often demonstrates what type of person they really are, and who they wish to become. That all-to-important sentiment is emotionally and powerfully presented in first-time feature film writer and director Paul Dalio’s new romantic drama, ‘Touched with Fire.’ The filmmaker, who has powerfully discussed his own personal struggles with bipolar, has commendably presented the physical and emotional struggles people often face as they determinedly try to manage the disease. After shooting ‘Touched with Fire’ in New York City in 2013, [ Read More ]

What role does mental illness — particularly bipolar disorder — play in creativity and art? Does experiencing the dramatic highs and lows of the illness fuel creation, and does treatment of symptoms dampen that artistic energy? Freshman filmmaker Paul Dalio’s “Touched with Fire” explores the romance between two poets with the affliction. Forces both internal and external drive the couple together and apart as they struggle to write, love, and survive. Carla (Katie Holmes) begins the film at a low point, unenthusiastically reading her book of poetry to a small, uninvolved group at an event. She is quickly consumed by the desire to figure out what triggered her initial manic episode shortly after college, which leads her to accidentally check herself into a facility under the care of her psychiatrist. After intending just to spend a single night there while doing research in her paperwork, she is not allowed to leave the next morning.

I do this every single month, as you all know by now, so of course I won’t exclude February.

Earnest. Very, very earnest. And sincere; very, very sincere. And beyond that, what can one say about a film that deals so nakedly with a very serious illness -- point out it has pimples? Touched With Fire, originally titled Mania Days when it debuted at ">SXSW last year, is an earnest and sincere character study of two people dealing with bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness. Paul Dalio wrote and directed the film, influenced by his own past struggles with the condition, which can cause radical shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. Carla (Katie Holmes) and Marco (Luke Kirby) meet cute in a support group at a hospital. They've both been confined at the psychiatric facility and are unhappy about it, though it...

Matt Lauer had no choice but to address the elephant in the room. On Tuesday, the Today co-host interviewed Katie Holmes, who plays a poet struggling with bipolar disorder in director/screenwriter Paul Dalio's fim Touched With Fire. Given his tense interview in 2005 with her ex-husband Tom Cruise, in which they debated the merits of pharmaceutical drugs, Lauer asked Holmes how she felt taking on such a dramatic role. "This was a huge challenge and one that I felt pressured to create an authentic character," Holmes said, "because so many people do suffer and I wanted to bring a realistic portrayal to the role." "But you can't just read about something like that," Lauer told Holmes, who...

Katie Holmes is on fire. The actress stars as a woman with bipolarism who falls in love with a fellow patient at a psychiatric hospital in the new indie Touched With Fire and only E! News has an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming drama. In the film, Holmes' character is asking her mother (Christine Lahti) what specific incident triggered her mental disorder. "The doctor says something has to trigger it, so what was I doing?" she says. When Lahti insists there "was nothing we could have done. It was going to happen no matter what," Holmes storms off to the other side of the room. "Please just stop lying to me," she says, explaining, "I'm just trying to figure...

We have a list of the new Hulu movies and shows arriving in February 2020.
February is a month for love and Hulu knows exactly what to do with it. For its February 2020 new releases, Hulu is introducing an original series fit for Valentine's Day.

Another original arriving in February is Utopia Falls (also premiering on February 14), which looks to be teenage-oriented series combining Harry Potter, The Expanse, and music. That sound like something that might interest you?

Katie Holmes has more important things to focus on than her dating life. "[I don't] have a five or 10-year plan," Holmes told More magazine in its latest issue. Holmes, who's been single since her 2012 divorce from Tom Cruise, said, "I feel like I'm still a teenager in a lot of ways. I do a lot of things I did then. I paint, I color. I cook sometimes. I still feel like a girl. I don't quite feel like a woman. I'll probably be 90 and feel like, 'Not a woman yet!' " Still, there is one thing the 37-year-old star - whose latest film,...

Touched With Fire screens Thursday, November 12th at 7pm at The Tivoli Theater as part of The St. Louis International Film Festival. Ticket information can be found Here
Two powerful performances dominate the new film Touched With Fire, which examines the sometimes blurry line between genius and madness. Carla (Katie Holmes, who also co-produced) and Marco (Luke Kirby, seen recently on TVs Rectify) are two creative and restless poets who are also bi-polar. They each display an almost obsessive need to write and perform their verse at local poetry bars. After a chance meeting attending group therapy in the mental ward of a hospital, the two find in each other a kindred spirit with a common bond—the burning need to create.
Though not really a film version of the book Touched With Fire, the film is informed by the basic themes of that work. Published...

"Are we a mistake, Carla? Are we a mistake?" Roadside Attractions has debuted the first trailer for Paul Dalio's indie romantic drama Touched With Fire (formerly known as Mania Days when it premiered at SXSW), starring Katie Holmes as a manic depressive who falls "crazy in love" with someone just like her. At the psychiatric hospital she meets a fellow bipolar patient, played by Luke Kirby, and they end up on a "passionate, yet unhealthy love affair". This looks much more powerful and beautiful than I was expecting, especially in the final 30 seconds of this trailer, so give it a chance and let it play all the way to the end. The cast includes Christine Lahti, Bruce Altman, Griffin Dunne and Alex Manette. You might just be intrigued. Here's the first official trailer for Paul Dalio's Touched With Fire, originally from Yahoo: Holmes stars as a manic depressive...
