Which Audience Award Winner Path Will ‘American Fiction’ Follow?
I finally got around to seeing American Fiction this week, after missing it at the Toronto International Film Festival. I’ll have a full review up for week of release later on in the year, but it’s quite good. The movie is funny, smart, and extremely well made. So, it’s now clear to me what TIFF […] More

NYFF: The Best Movies and Performances at the 61st New York Film Festival
Folks, we can put a bow on the New York Film Festival for 2023. Moreover, that’s pretty much it for festivals this year for me, allowing me to really settle in with my own bed (though, yes, I sleep at home during NYFF). Listen, I’m tired! Each year, NYFF puts on a classy and diverse […] More

NYFF Review: ‘The Killer’ is a Savage and Savagely Funny Thriller From David Fincher
Not everyone realizes the sense of humor that David Fincher has. Even his bleakest of works usually has some black comedy in it. With The Killer, Fincher has embraced that more than ever before. I’d posit that this might be his most humorous work to date. It’s gallows humor, to be sure, but this is […] More

NYFF Review: ‘Ferrari’ Has Penélope Cruz and Adam Driver Speed Away with Michael Mann’s Muscular Biopic
When I’d first heard about a Ferrari movie, I was somewhat skeptical. Everyone doesn’t need a biopic, and if this was just another look at a rich mogul making something most people will never experience, I wasn’t too interested. Luckily, I neglected to consider that it would be made by Michael Mann. As such, Ferrari […] More

NYFF Review: ‘Priscilla’ is An Almost Too Gentle Look From Sofia Coppola At a Teenager’s Life With Elvis
When you watch a Sofia Coppola movie, you go in expecting style. Sometimes, she’s going big, sometimes she’s going small, but it’s always going to be aesthetically pleasing. While I don’t think she’s ever matched the heights of Lost in Translation, any new film of hers is worth paying attention to. So, while on the […] More

NYFF Review: Steve McQueen Can’t Hold Your Interest Throughout the Epic Runtime of ‘Occupied City’
Steve McQueen is a master filmmaker. Look at his career and there isn’t a weak link in the bunch. So, it’s hardly a surprise that an epic documentary like Occupied City would appeal to him, not just as a challenge, but also as a passion project. So, it’s a shame to report that the interest […] More

NYFF Review: ‘Maestro’ Elegantly Depicts the Complexity and Love of Leonard Bernstein Via Bradley Cooper and Carey Mulligan
When Bradley Cooper made his filmmaking debut with a remake of A Star is Born, I’ll admit to having been a bit skeptical. After all, the film had been done before, several times over, and was, in the wrong hands, a tired premise. Of course, Cooper was, alongside Lady Gaga, very much the right hands, […] More
