They can’t make these tales of tragedy and triumph into poverty porn. If the movie appears to be wallowing, it can seem hollow. Luckily, this flick has such a […] More

Tim Blake Nelson is one of our best character actors. I previously spoke to the man here about his riveting turn in Old Henry, and now at the 2024 Tribeca Festival, he has Bang Bang, another terrific showcase. Not only is he a master at his craft, he’s a fascinating man to talk to. Besides […] More
