Abstract: Highlights•Leveraging naturalistic fMRI, we characterize the dynamic, complex interactions among large-scale brain networks during the viewing of emotionally charged movie.•The dynamic functional interactions covary with the development of the film's narrative, especially among the interactions of default mode network and dorsal attention network.•The dynamic interactions are also temporally synchronized with specific features of the movie, especially with the emotional arousal and valence, such as the interactions network associated with executive control network.
