Review: My First Film (2024)
I reviewed Zia Anger’s first film – or, first released film – ) called My First Film. It will all become clear when you see it and you really must see it. Review over on Ebert.
Review: The Wasp (2024)
The Wasp is wild. Two GREAT performances from Naomie Harris and Natalie Dormer. I reviewed for Ebert.
Review: Good One (2024)
Good One is a good one. A REALLY good one. I reviewed for Ebert.
Review: Kneecap (2024)
I reviewed Kneecap for Ebert, a fun interesting fictionalized-ish movie about the formation/rise of Kneecap, the Irish-language-only hiphop trio from Belfast. The trio play themselves!
Review: Oddity (2024)
Oddity is Damian McCarthy’s follow-up to his super-impressive directorial debut, Caveat, which I reviewed. Oddity proves that Caveat wasn’t a fluke. I reviewed for Ebert.
Review: National Anthem (2024)
I really liked Luke Gilford’s feature film directorial debut, National Anthem, about queer rodeo riders, a sub-culture he already documented in his photography book of the same name. It’s beautiful. I reviewed for Ebert.
Review: Daddio (2024)
I am so into Daddio, a new film starring Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn that takes place entirely in a New York City yellow cab. I reviewed for Ebert. This scenario is close to my heart as old-timers will recognize.
Review: Bad Behaviour (2024)
Jennifer Connelly’s performance is WILD and really REALLY out there. It’s very much my jam. I wish the movie was better but … the performance!! I reviewed for Ebert.
Review: Just the Two of Us (2024)
Virginie Efira is a new fave. Revoir Paris, which I put top of the list of my watches last year, was what really got me on board, but when I backtracked I was like, “Oh. Okay. Wow. She’s been crushing … Continue reading
Review: Ezra (2024)
I reviewed Ezra, directed by Tony Goldwyn, with a killer cast: Bobby Cannavale, Rose Byrne, Robert DeNiro and newcomer, William Fitzgerald. The movie wants to do two things and it does one of them very well. Review on Ebert.
