The story, neutrally told

Left · 2A new trailer has been released for "Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall", a concert film directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and featuring Geese frontman Cameron Winter. Left · 2The film will screen across the country in a 35mm roadshow starting on November 20. Left · 2It documents a single show Winter played at Carnegie Hall in December 2025, after a months-long sold-out tour with Geese, when he was 23.

Left · 1The A.V. Club says Winter was one of the youngest people to headline Carnegie Hall, edged out slightly by Bob Dylan, who was 22 in 1963. Left · 1IndieWire reports that the setlist drew mainly from Winter's solo album "Heavy Metal", and that Benny Safdie is a producer and camera operator on the film. Left · 1The film premiered at the 2026 New York Film Festival at Alice Tully Hall, where IndieWire says many critics praised it; IndieWire's own reviewer Ryan Lattanzio compared it to "Stop Making Sense" "but for introverts".

Left · 1The A.V. Club notes that the film was shot before Anderson won three Oscars in March, including Best Director, and that it is his first concert film, though he has made music videos for Fiona Apple, Radiohead and Haim, Thom Yorke's "Anima" and the documentary "Junun". Left · 1The A.V. Club adds that Winter's "Heavy Metal" was named a best album of the year by Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Paste and Mojo, and that Geese's "Getting Killed" was named best album of 2025 by The New Yorker, NME and Stereogum.
