Summary

"Fingernails" had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its quirky blend of low-key sci-fi, romance, and commentary on relationships. The performances from Jessie Buckley, Riz Ahmed, and Jeremy Allen White also drew attention on top of Christos Nikou's screenplay. Nikou was kind enough following the film's screening at the Toronto International Film Festival to speak with us regarding his work on the film, views toward romantic relationships, and more. Please be sure to take a listen and check out the film, which will be playing in limited release this weekend and will be available to stream on Apple TV+ on November 3rd. Thank you, and enjoy!
