Not all concert footage is released the way Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall enjoyed this fall—direct-to-stream releases are far more common than 35mm road shows these days. But not all of them have a character like Geese singer Cameron Winter and a filmmaker like Paul Thomas Anderson, who directs. Throw in the fact that "Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall" also boasts Benny Safdie as producer (and camera operator!), and it's not hard to see why cinephiles and music lovers alike will be dying to see it. But if you're somehow still on the fence, there's a new trailer to convince you.

Cameron Winters at Carnegie Hall duly premiered at the 2026 New York Film Festival, where many critics praised it for its depiction of a rising rock star at his best with an auteur's touch.

IndieWire's Ryan Lattanzio wrote in his review, "Winter with matted blonde hair can look a little uncomfortable in her own skin in public, as she did onstage before Cameron Winter at Carnegie at the New York Film Festival's world premiere at the Alice Tully Hall." But on the piano, lasered through his compositions, he quietly sparkles, seeming at ease as his soaring glissandos and nimble piano fingerwork produce quivering, tender folk ballads that echo Harry Nilsson and Van Morrison. (The usual comparisons to Tom Waits and Rufus Wainwright are also true, but Winter is his oddity.) If you weren't already sold on the crafty rock anarchy of the Winter Geese — who were quickly becoming one of the most popular contemporary art rock bands of the era — you are about to be. Paul Thomas Anderson has created a rhapsodic shrine to the man that is nevertheless ballad-like in its emotional scale.

The review continued: "The result is hypnotic, a concert film with 'Stop Making Sense' but for introverts." Songs like hit single "$0" take on an even more poignant quality, as a lovelorn hero is abused by a relationship ("You make me feel like a dollar in your hand / You make me feel like a zero-dollar man"). His stripped-down indie "Love Takes Miles" plays even better. While many songs sort of float in the same key and blend into each other, it makes for a much more transformative experience. "The lack of anything in between other than a sweet prelude and moving coda makes for an immersive, deep experience, one whose truth you can feel somewhere in your body, even if you can't quite articulate."

Audiences can catch "Cameron's Winter at Carnegie Hall" on the road with 35mm screenings across the country beginning November 20. Official trailer below
