Tribeca Film Festival Review: ‘Unfinished Business’ Looks at the WNBA and the New York Liberty’s Evolution
The WNBA doesn’t get the respect that it deserves. That’s just a fact. Broadly, we live in a time where it always seems like there’s a war on women in general going on, so it’s not shocking that a female sports league would be considered somehow inferior, incorrect as that assumption might be. That take […] More

Tribeca Film Festival Review: ‘Official Competition’ Satirizes the Bizarre Nature of Prestige Moviemaking
The world of prestige filmmaking is ripe for satire. Big egos, big budgets, and presumed importance are easy to make fun of. Now, to make a movie about those things? That’s proven harder than expected for the industry to pull off. So, it’s nice to see that the comedy Official Competition, playing at the 2022 […] More

Tribeca Film Festival Review: ‘Rounding’ Goes Down Rabbit Holes We Just Can’t Follow
It’s always frustrating when you see a film trying something that just doesn’t work. The basics of Rounding are interesting, intriguing even, but a need to go down all sorts of odd rabbit holes give it an elasticity of premise that doesn’t help. What should be intense and tightly round feels disjointed and slack, experimenting […] More

Tribeca Film Festival Review: ‘Don’t Make Me Go’ is an Emotional and Funny Winner of a Road Trip Movie from Hannah Marks
Hannah Marks has quickly become one of my favorite young filmmakers. Both Banana Split and Mark, Mary & Some Other People (which I raved about at Tribeca last year here) built upon the promise of After Everything to vault her to a place where I look forward to anything she’s involved in. A talented actress […] More

Tribeca Film Festival Review: ‘Body Parts’ is a Naked Look at Crafting Intimacy in Film and Television
Shooting a sex scene, as an actor/actress, is arguably one of the most challenging aspects of the job. Not just the potential physical nakedness of the work, but the emotional vulnerability of it all as well. So, one would hope that all involved would make it as comfortable an experience as possible, even though we […] More

Tribeca Film Festival Review: ‘Somewhere in Queens’ is a Lived In and Winning Filmmaking Debut from Ray Romano
Ray Romano has made a career out of being exasperated by an over-bearing family. So, it would have been easy for Somewhere in Queens to play like a slightly more adult version of an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond. Luckily, that’s not what Romano has on his mind, with the result being a very accomplished […] More

Tribeca Film Festival Review: ’88’ is a Dumbed Down Political Conspiracy Thriller with Too Much on Its Mind
There’s no shortage of political topics to take on when making a conspiracy thriller. The key is, usually, to pick one and hammer it home in a way that makes the stakes easy to comprehend and become invested in. 88, a political conspiracy thriller playing at the Tribeca Film Festival this year, is a movie […] More

Tribeca Film Festival Review: ‘Wes Schlagenhauf is Dying’ Can’t Breathe Life into the Pandemic Comedy
Pandemic-set comedies are such a hard thing to pull off. Making fun of COVID can be done, especially as we’re now a bit removed from the worst of it all, but it’s still tricky. Comedies, dramas, really every genre has looked to the pandemic for unusual inspiration. Road trip comedies in particular do have the […] More
