Tribeca Film Festival Review: ‘I.S.S.’ Doesn’t Reach Its Full Orbit But Still Offers B-Movie Thrills
A good high concept for a genre flick can go a long way. Now, in some cases, it can actually be a double-edged sword, especially when the execution of said concept is only middling. I.S.S., one of the more genre-specific selections at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival, has better execution than that. However, the concept […] More

Tribeca Film Festival Review: ‘The Listener’ is a Quiet Effort from Steve Buscemi and Tessa Thompson
Watching conversations can be riveting. Many a film has made two people talking the focus of its interests. Now, when the conversation is only seen from one side, that’s a bit more challenging. A movie like The Guilty has worked around that by leaning into the thriller aspects of its story. Here, with The Listener, […] More

Tribeca Film Festival Review: ‘The Graduates’ is a an Observant Look at a Town in Pain
Tragedy shapes us, for better or worse. The nature of the tragedy is different, but almost all of us go through it. For the teenagers and adults in The Graduates, the nature of the tragedy is a school shooting. The dead are mourned, while the survivors are attempting to go on, with no real understanding […] More

Tribeca Film Festival Review: ‘The Line’ is a Flawed Look at the Toxicity of Fraternity Hazing and Frat Life Overall
Fraternities never appealed to me. I love friends as much as the next fella, but it all felt a little cult-like to me. Throw in the idea of hazing and how toxic some of them felt, to say the least, and I was happy to not be invited to their parties. So, I see something […] More

Tribeca Film Festival Review: Nick Jonas Navigates Grief in the Perceptive Family Dramedy ‘The Good Half’
Oh boy. Sometimes, a movie just finds you in the right spot to be absolutely sucked in. At the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival, The Good Half is 100% that sort of flick. A story about a writer grieving his recently deceased mother? I can’t imagine why it would speak to me. Especially considering how it […] More

Tribeca Film Festival Review: ‘Rolling Along’ Sees the Legend Bill Bradley Captivatingly Tell His Story
What a life Bill Bradley has lived (you can hear him talk more about it in my interview with the man here). Any one aspect of his story is captivating. Want to hear about a small town kid turned NBA legend and Hall of Fame basketball player? Check. What about that same man turning around […] More

Tribeca Film Festival Review: ‘Fresh Kills’ Leaves You with a Stale Feeling Despite a Unique Perspective
Mob dramas almost always focus on men. We see the husbands and sons in families off galavanting, pulling jobs, living the good life. Then, it’s time to pay the piper. That’s just how it goes. Now, we have something with a different angle on that story in Fresh Kills. The filmmaking debut of actress Jennifer […] More

Tribeca Interview: Talking ‘Maggie Moore(s)’ with Jon Hamm and John Slattery
Jon Hamm and John Slattery clearly enjoy working together. Whether it’s Mad Men on television, Confess, Fletch in cinemas, or now Maggie Moore(s) on the festival circuit, they have a definite shorthand. It has paid dividends before, and now, it’s paying them again at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival. Here’s hoping they continue to act […] More

Tribeca Interview: Dutty Vannier and Ben DiGiacomo Talk ‘Bad Like Brooklyn Dancehall’
When you think of dancehall music, Jamaica immediately comes to mind. But through migration and globalization, this vibrant genre has taken root in communities many miles away from the Caribbean island. One such place is Brooklyn, New York, where some of the music’s most iconic stars got their start. This emergence of dancehall in Brooklyn […] More

Tribeca Announces 2023 Competition Winners
Moments ago, the Tribeca Festival (they’ve apparently dropped the “film” from its name) announced their competition winners for 2023. You can see the choices below, but also stay tuned for much more Tribeca coverage from Joey as the week continues, as well as next week. We’re not done with the festival yet! Here are all […] More

Tribeca Film Festival Review: ‘Maggie Moore(s)’ is a Clever Noir with Strong Direction by John Slattery and a Top Notch Turn from Jon Hamm
Dark comedies, or at least films that mix comedy with very dark moments, walk an incredibly fine line. Go too far in one direction and the other element seems out of place. However, don’t pay enough attention to both and the audience might wonder why the hybrid nature is in place at all. Many attempt […] More

Tribeca Film Festival Review: ‘Bucky F*cking Dent’ is a Riot of a Dramedy From David Duchovny
It’s really surprising that David Duchovny waited this long to direct another feature. That he’s chosen to adapt his own novel is a fitting choice, since there’s so much personality on display here. Writing and directing his adaptation of Bucky F*cking Dent is such an obvious choice it’s sort of surprising it took so long […] More
