Tribeca Festival Review: ‘Nobu’ is a Tasty Look at a Very Inventive Sushi Chef
Sushi is not just a cuisine, it’s truly an art form. I came to sushi in college, so I’m a late bloomer, but it’s one of my absolute favorite meals. The appreciation of a perfectly done bit of sashimi, for example, is like few other things. So, I already went into Nobu ready to vibe […] More

Tribeca Festival Review: ‘Paradise Records’ Sees Logic Amusingly Follow the Kevin Smith Playbook
There is no question that rapper turned filmmaker Logic loves Kevin Smith. One only has to watch a few frames of Paradise Records to see the Clerks influence. The visual language of the film is very Smith-coded, with Clerks homaged on numerous occasions, from a cameo all the way to the “if you plan to […] More

Interview: Talking ‘Bucky F*cking Dent’ and Cinematography with Jeff Powers
David Duchovny‘s Tribeca effort Bucky F*cking Dent is a riot. In fact, it was one of my favorite movies at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival (as seen here), mixing comedy and drama in a wonderfully deft manner. Duchovny writes, directs, and co-stars, but he didn’t do it alone. Behind the camera, cinematographer Jeff Powers was […] More

Interview: Director Monica Sorelle on Crafting ‘Mountains’ and Exploring Gentrification in Little Haiti
For Monica Sorelle, her aptly-named debut feature Mountains was a labor of love, requiring a community to rise to the challenge. And that community is a major focus of this realist drama, which centers the family of a demolition worker who is forced to confront the ongoing gentrification of his Little Haiti neighborhood and the […] More

The Best of the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival
Folks, the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival is now in the books! The past handful of years, Tribeca was a very different fest than normal, though the prior two years (as well as, to an extent, this year) it was a hybrid type of situation, mixing in person and virtual events. Give or take some small […] More

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
