Awards Season / Oscar Predictions Update: What Has Festival Season Presented Us With?
In what feels like the blink of an eye, festival season is largely in the books. What began with the Venice Film Festival and Telluride Film Festival back at the end of August, transitioning to the Toronto International Film Festival in September, has now come close to the conclusion with the end of the 63rd […] More

NYFF Review: ‘Is This Thing On?’ is a Smaller Scale Divorce Dramedy from Bradley Cooper
It’s hard to depict stand up comedy on the big screen. For every Funny People, there’s a Punchline or The Comedian. That doesn’t mean that the films themselves don’t work (though it sometimes does), but the stand up material itself winds up feeling very weak.

NYFF Review: ‘Mr. Scorsese’ is a Comprehensive Look at One of Our Great Filmmakers

NYFF Review: ‘Stiller & Meara: Nothing is Lost’ is a Touching Tribute by Ben Stiller to His Parents
Ben Stiller loves his parents. That’s not a terribly shocking thing to say, nor is it a particularly compelling reason to make a documentary. However, given that his parents were Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, that does make things a bit more interesting. So, Stiller & Meara: Nothing is Lost was born, not just as […] More

NYFF Review: ‘After the Hunt’ is a Muddled Attempt at Provocation from Luca Guadagnino
There are a lot of thorny issues being discussed in After the Hunt, the Opening Night selection of the 63rd New York Film Festival. Cancel culture, #METOO, campus culture, upper class privilege, and more are on the docket. Any one idea could have been used to make a compelling film. Together, this should be a […] More

Awards Season / Oscar Predictions Update: Where Do We Stand After Telluride, TIFF, and Venice?
My how September has changed things. When we were wrapping up August, the start of the fall film festival season was upon us. That was where many a movie would debut, hoping to catapult from the festivals to the Academy Awards. Now, with a good portion of festival season already having been completed, it feels […] More
