Interview: Marc Maron Talks His Tribeca Gem ‘In Memoriam’ and Getting to Be a Leading Man
Getting to talk to Marc Maron is a singular experience. I previously spoke to him about four years ago (here) for To Leslie, and this very much felt like a continuation of that conversation. Back then, he was still in the midst of his incredibly popular podcast WTF with Marc Maron, which was not just the […] More

Tribeca Film Review: ‘Hollywood Does Abortion’ Looks at How the Medical Procedure Has Been Depicted in Cinema and On Television
When you think of how abortion is depicted on screen, most people, whether consciously or unconsciously, divide it into two categories. There’s the right wing propaganda, meant to scare young women into keeping unwanted pregnancies, and there’s Hollywood (or the independent film world), on the other side of the divide. While there’s certainly truth in […] More

Tribeca Film Review: ‘Act One’ Turns an Actor’s Process into a Psychological Thriller
The drive to be the best and perfect one’s craft is not just one of the hallmarks of many an artist/athlete/creative, it’s also absolute catnip for cinema. At their heights, you can get something like Black Swan or Whiplash, which becomes irresistible to the Academy as well. In the case of Act One, things aren’t […] More

Tribeca Film Review: ‘Ponderosa’ is a Unique Yet Rather Baffling Experience
What the hell did I just watch? To call Ponderosa a baffling film is an understatement. So much of what happens in this picture seems to be random, which I know it’s not, but it’s such a struggle to get on its wavelength that it’s uniqueness isn’t a compliment. Now, props to writer/director Rob Rice […] 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

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. Such is the case with Marc Maron and In Memoriam, a tailor made project for his talents that he absolutely knocks out of the park. It’s […] 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
