‘Ballad of a Small Player' trailer out: Colin Farrell races against time in Edward Berger's psychological thriller
The first teaser for 'Ballad of the Small Player', starring Colin Farrell, has been released, offering a dark and gripping glimpse into one of the year's most anticipated psychological thrillers. Directed by Edward Berger (well-known for Oscar-winning 'Conclave'), the film is adapted from Lawrence Osborne's 2014 novel and follows Lord Doyle (Farrell), a troubled gambler hiding out in Macau. Doyle spends his days on casino floors, drinking and betting away what little he has left—until he crosses paths with Dao Ming, a mysterious casino employee played by Fala Chen. She offers him a chance at redemption, though it soon becomes clear she has secrets of her own. Also in pursuit is private investigator Cynthia Blithe, portrayed by Tilda Swinton, who is determined to confront Doyle with the truth he's trying to escape. As the tension builds, the line between reality and illusion begins to blur, setting the stage for a haunting exploration of guilt, survival, and identity. The teaser hints at a moody, noir-inspired atmosphere, with neon-lit cityscapes, tense casino scenes, and Farrell at the centre of it all—broken, desperate, and trying to outrun his past. The film is written by Rowan Joffé and also features Deanie Ip and Alex Jennings in key roles. It is set to premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, as part of the prestigious Special Presentations section. 'Ballad of the Small Player' will have a limited theatrical release in the United States on October 15 and in the United Kingdom on October 17, before launching globally on Netflix on October 29. With a strong cast and a director known for psychological depth, 'Ballad of the Small Player' is shaping up to be one of the standout thrillers of the year.

Unsure what to stream? Not just you, everyone is
Too many options! That feeling when you're skipping from one show to another, telling yourself, 'I'll finally start something new tonight.' And 20–30 minutes later, you're still scrolling. Next day the cycle repeats itself. That draining feeling has a name - choice fatigue - the exhaustion and dread that kicks in when you're trying to decide what to watch next on a streaming platform. This fatigue is so real that streaming platforms have researched it and even rolled out features to fix it. Spoiler: it's not really helping! It's an exhausting chore to find a show that consumes you! Viewers say they often find themselves abandoning a series after 5–10 minutes, looking for something better. 'It's indeed a task to find a series that grabs my attention and is worthy of my time,' says Sanjay, an IPS officer. 'Sometimes I spend 15–20 minutes trying to choose a show that I might turn off after 5 minutes. Once I find something that hooks me, I finish it, whether or not I can binge it.' Viewers say that while streaming platforms have some amazing shows, those shows are buried under thumbnails and autoplay trailers. The hunt itself becomes exhausting. Sometimes, all it takes is one bad show to kill the mood for the whole week. 'I'm a big fan of Korean dramas,' says Imaan, a crew member of a web series. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Berkshire Hathaway: American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends These 5 Books For Turning Your Li... Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo 'But I often I scroll and watch a series for 5-10 minutes and realise I don't want to watch this series today. Now I pre-screen shows through Instagram reels. If I like a clip, I search for that show. At least there's some filter to save my time.' FOMO works! And of course, there's FOMO. She says,"Adolescence kept showing up on my was praising it. And honestly, it lived up to it." What's everyone watching? What's everyone talking about? Which shows keep coming up on timelines - those are definitely what viewers go after. Adriana D'Souza,, who works in hospitality agrees, 'I watched Adolescence because I couldn't take it anymore. I wanted to understand why everyone is praising it. So, FOMO works. When everyone is going gaga about a show, you want to find out what it is. FOMO definitely works for me. I keep weekends for sampling. Or when I have nothing better to do, I watch 5–10 minutes of a show to sample it. If I like it then I go back to it during my couch time. ' Platforms are well aware of this habit of viewers. That's why they've created features like Play Something and pushed Top Picks, Trending Now, and Oscar-season collections to the homepage. But it rarely works. Because good storytelling isn't about being pushed. It's about being pulled in, says Manjusha Singh, an artist. 'A good show is a good show.' She says that she rarely finishes anything. 'I'm always looking for something that grabs me in the first five minutes. Not something I have to warm up to. I don't have that patience for a web series.' 'Rewatching because I can't waste my entertainment window' Another viewer, Sudhir Bakshi, who works for a cinema chain, says to not miss the one-hour window he gets, he mostly re-watches. 'Honestly, choosing a series or a film to watch on OTT feels like a chore. It's an exhausting chore to find a show that truly consumes you! And I don't want to scroll my phone or social media when I've time to catch a series or a film. So, my solution is rewatching old series. When White Lotus released, I watched the previous seasons in between the weekly drops just to make sure my evenings were sorted. I did the same with Succession, Friends, Brooklyn, Modern Family and so many." How to do it right Well, those who've aced this game of choice fatigue say that the trick is to not decide what to watch after sitting in front of your TV. They indeed treat it like a chore, and the trick is to prep in advance. Know what you want to watch before switching on your device. Director Ram Madhvani says, 'How do I decide what to watch? Well, I track recommendations from international newspapers like The New York Times to understand what's trending and what's interesting. Then I make a note of it in the Notes app on my phone. I also recommend interesting films and shows to friends and family.' Kriti Kharbanda says, 'I watch everything. In fact, in a script what works and what doesn't work I get to understand by watching both good and bad shows. It's like my film school and I'd recommend it to everyone.' Megha Marthak, who is in her 20s and works in restoration, says, 'With so many options across streaming platforms and an endless list of films and shows, choosing what to watch can be daunting. But I don't browse aimlessly - I keep a small list of films and shows recommended by friends, critics, or festivals. Depending on how I'm feeling, I'll pick something. For me, it's not about watching everything - it's about choosing well and enjoying it. ' Facts - Netflix's research showed that subscribers sometimes don't want to search through its library of shows and films to find something new to watch. So it rolled out a feature - Play Something - that starts playing a television show or movie. - Streaming platforms like Amazon Prime and Disney+ have adjusted user interfaces for Top Picks, What's Trending, and curated rows. They also include design tweaks to showcase Oscar picks, film festival favourites, new releases, and genre-wise classification - all to keep you from leaving the platform.
