Interview: Carrie Coon Chats About the Pleasures of Acting and ‘The Gilded Age’
Carrie Coon has rather terrific taste in jobs, both on the big screen and the small screen. Whether it’s joining the last season of The White Lotus as a plum part of the ensemble cast or her leading role in The Gilded Age, she’s chooses roles impeccably. It’s not something she takes lightly, either. When […] More

Tribeca Film Review: ‘Mario’ Looks Reverentially at the Legendary New York Governor and His Politics of Compassion
Few politicians of their era have fascinated historians like Mario Cuomo. Here we have a popular governor, one who was a rare bright spot for the Democratic party at that point, who vocally presented an alternative path to that of Republican Ronald Reagan. And yet, he opted never to run for President of the United […] More

Interview: Morgan Spector on the Subversive and Unique Delights of ‘The Gilded Age’
When you talk to Morgan Spector, everything is on the table. While we were set to discuss his work on The Gilded Age as George Russell, the natural course of things led us in all sorts of directions. Whether it’s his brief film work, including I Don’t Understand You from last year (reviewed here), or […] More

Film Review: Steven Spielberg is Still at the Height of His Powers with the Full Cinematic Experience That is ‘Disclosure Day’
If you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? That’s not just the tagline for Disclosure Day. It’s also the film’s central thesis, alongside the notion that maybe, instead of fear, it could change things for the better? Working again in the realm of aliens […] More

Tribeca Film Review: ‘Next Life’ is Another Romantic Drama with Big Feelings from Drake Doremus
There’s a thematic consistency to the work of Drake Doremus. Whether it’s his breakthrough Like Crazy, his follow up Breathe In, or his later work like Equals, Newness, and so on, he explores love and romance with dramatic heft. The weight of falling in love, as well as what loving takes, has been a consistent […] More

Tribeca Film Review: Marc Maron Gives the Performance of His Career in the Funny and Touching ‘In Memoriam’
When you see an actor perfectly cast in something, it can be very exciting. When that actor gives the best performance of his career so far, that’s even better.

Film Review: ‘Scary Movie’ Has Some Occasional Laughs But Mostly is a Lazy Misfire
I love a spoof movie. Some of my favorite comedies or all time are spoofs. Mel Brooks is my favorite comedy filmmaker. The Naked Gun is perfect cinema. Hell, the first Scary Movie is really funny. I say all of this just to establish that I’m very much the target audience for this film. Well, […] More

Film Review: ‘Backrooms’ Has Vibes and Visuals for Days But Needed a More Developed Story
Almost regardless of how Backrooms turned out, the fact that it’s a professionally made film from someone as young as Kane Parsons makes it a work deserving of some praise. That it, on a visual level, is actually rather impressive, is even more worthy of praise. The thing is, as a whole production, the movie […] More

Tribeca Film Review: ‘The Leader’ is an Unsettling Look at the Heaven’s Gate Cult with Captivating Performances from Tim Blake Nelson, Vera Farmiga, and Jim Parsons
Cults fascinate us. That goes without saying. Hell, sometimes the fascination can lead to indoctrination. In the case of the “Heaven’s Gate” cult, which it’s no spoiler to say ultimately turned into a suicide cult, what the group stood for was ludicrous. So, it was the charisma of the leader in charge that sold that […] More
