neutral · AI labelView post →I just heard about Jeff Baena. This is tragic. I reviewed The Little Hours, it's my kind of movie, my kind of humor. In a farce like LH, the director is so important to establishing the tone. Nothing worse than a film TRYING to be farcical. So glad I called him out for this in my 4-star review:
positive · AI labelView post →Poor Aubrey. Processing the loss of someone who couldn't have the will to stay is such a difficult grief journey. I loved his movie The Little Hours.
positive · AI labelView post →This is horrible news. Jeff Baena brought "Life After Beth," "The Little Hours" and "The Horse Girl" to Sundance — sharp, funny and sometimes outrageous movies. Condolences to his wife and frequent collaborator, Aubrey Plaza. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

neutral · AI labelView post →5. The Little Hours Funny and heartfelt. This movie owns a piece of my heart and I watch it whenever I get depressed. Everyone is perfect in it and by the end I always feel at least a little bit better. I kind of want a tattoo of a turtle with a candle on its back.
positive · AI labelView post →The Little Hours is an excellent example of this kind of movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Can I join this cohort? I am obsessed with The Little Hours (when it was released I could not believe that someone made a movie For Me) and so strongly agree that it goes about music the right way!
positive · AI labelView post →One of my favorite scenes in the great movie The Little Hours is Nick Offerman eating meat with his hands and ranting about the Guelphs directly to the camera

positive · AI labelView post →Jeff Baena’s The Little Hours is a great and much underrated film. Excellent medieval silliness and naughtiness. RIP

positive · AI labelView post →Over the past several years, the biggest gap between how much I enjoyed a film and how low it's IMDB rating was has been The Little Hours.
positive · AI labelView post →The Little Hours. Almost nothing works better Oh and Logan Lucky. My god that movie is funny and sweet.
positive · AI labelView post →His movie The Little Hours is so sharp.
positive · AI labelView post →Some years ago, we went and did a little movie in Italy called “The Little Hours” with Jeff Baena. It was a beautiful and rewarding experience in a surreal location. We are so proud of the movie that tuned out. One of the best I’ve even been involved in. PLEASE TAKE CARE AND BE KIND TO YOURSELVES

positive · AI labelView post →I have always enjoyed Jeff Baena’s films and have a great love for his film The Little Hours. I’ve always looked forward to hearing about a new film from him. Sad that there will be no more. Sorry for whatever inner torments he struggled against.

positive · AI labelView post →So saddened to hear this. Jeff was the opening night guest of The Chicago Critics Film Festival back in 2017 along with Aubrey Plaza for THE LITTLE HOURS which he wrote & directed. The year prior we played JOSHY, which he also wrote. Wonderful guest. #RIP variety.com/2025/film/ne...

neutral · AI labelView post →Well this sucks. The Little Hours, Horse Girl and Spin Me Round were all great standalone indie films, the type of production we all say we want in the increasingly slop-filled landscape. Damn.
positive · AI labelView post →A real shock. I liked The LIttle Hours quite a bit: www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ja...
positive · AI labelView post →Jeff Baena had a unique voice. You can really see it in The Little Hours, an absolutely unique film that will be rewatched after all of prequels\sequels\remakes\reboots from this era are forgotten. May his memory be a blessing. #FilmSky #Movies
positive · AI labelView post →The Little Hours (2017) Fantastic toxic Yuri movie 10/10 watching rn
positive · AI labelView post →yeah, loved her on GLOW. Criminal that Netflix killed it. A film of hers I really like is The Little Hours, has Aubrey Plaza in as well, and was directed by her late husband. Alison's husband Dave Franco is in it too. It's based on a medieval anthology and is about a bunch of rowdy nuns!
positive · AI labelView post →I watched The Little Hours without having seen a trailer or knowing a damn thing about the genre, the setting, or who was in it. I strongly recommend this approach to that movie.
positive · AI labelView post →So my Vasectomy recovery film festival full line up was: Superman(Cinema) The Little Hours (Prime) Ride the Eagle (Prime) Heads of state (Prime) The Menu(Disney+) A decent weekend film festival. Supplemented with seeing friends(yay) and their kids (yay of a different tone) and playing Alan Wake 2.
neutral · AI labelView post →I definitely saw Jeff Baena in there. They used a clip from his nun film (The Little Hours, I think it was called?)

positive · AI labelView post →Have you seen The Little Hours? Not a show but a very funny film
neutral · AI labelView post →He was the cowriter. I remembered that so revisited the film. The director was the horror actually. Not his fault. Meet the Fockers, Horse Girl, and the Little Hours were great! The hostile vibe from the film on top of the absurdism, that's on the director. Jeff seemed super cool to be clear.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Little Hours is not a murder mystery but it is a... mystery? in a cloister (movie not book)
neutral · AI labelView post →I can’t count how many times I’ve watched The Little Hours. Nobody else ever would have thought about making anything that could become what that film is.
positive · AI labelView post →THE LITTLE HOURS is an audacious and funny movie.
positive · AI labelView post →He did a lot of projects that I know others love, but a specific shout out to THE LITTLE HOURS - a really tremendous movie that I got to see at a local art house, followed by a Q&A with both Baena and Plaza. Both were cool and wonderful to hear. My heart breaks for her. variety.com/2025/film/ne...
neutral · AI labelView post →Really sad about Jeff Baena. I’ve got some catching up to do on his work but I can recommend The Little Hours and especially Spin Me Round, which is now his final film. Both are streaming. RIP
neutral · AI labelView post →I haven't seen all his movies, but I enjoyed the two I did see (I Heart Huckabees and The Little Hours). Which is actually sort of shocking because I pride myself on having seen every zombie movie I possibly could have, but haven't seen Life After Beth.
positive · AI labelView post →One of the most enjoyable movie experiences I've had in the past several years was sitting down to watch Baena's The Little Hours knowing absolutely nothing about it. If you have no idea what that movie is, this would be a good day to watch it (but don't look at the trailer first).
positive · AI labelView post →Tagging @briantallerico.bsky.social, @erikthemovieman.bsky.social. THE LITTLE HOURS was the opening night film of the 2017 Chicago Critics Film Festival which they and half a dozen other Chitown critics organize.

neutral · AI labelView post →I’m assuming this is from “The Little Hours.” Incredibly funny, if not out there, movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching The Little Hours, Alison Brie, Aubrey Plaza. Might be the best film about 14th C. nuns ever.
positive · AI labelView post →If you like this vibe, I recommend ‘The Little Hours” the whole movie is this, with nuns and a stacked cast.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Little Hours : more medieval films like this, please.* deadpan humour, everyone talks like a modern day person and Aubrey Plaza's eyeroll used extensively. *adaptation of two stories from day 3 of the Decameron, for, y'know, actual accuracy. unlike certain film directors.

neutral · AI labelView post →I just watched 'The Little Hours' a 'Mean Girls' take on Boccacio, which I loved, and was very sad to hear Jeff Baena, Aubrey Plaza's husband and Alison Brie's friend and writing partner, had taken his own life; it is a very funny film made by people who like each other very much so do watch it.
