2018 NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL: This reviewer has not experienced too much of Chinese cinema, except for some of the more mainstream highlights over the years. Proud to say that experiencing an ambitious and sprawling look at the lives of two people in “Ash is Purest White” is a wonderful gateway and introduction for many who […] More
2018 NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL: Charm and satire are wonderfully intertwined in Olivier Assayas‘ cleverly constructed foreign piece “Non-Fiction.” Assembling a thunderous cast that includes Academy Award winner Juliette Binoche, Guillaume Canet, Vincent Macaigne, and Nora Hamzawi, this prickly yet enjoyable ensemble elevates a simple enough story about the changing world of literature as the […] More

2018 NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL: Yorgos Lanthimos shocked the cinematic world with his darkly comedic film “The Lobster” in 2015 before turning some heads in 2017 with “The Killing of a Sacred Deer.” His signature deadpan deliveries and uniquely rich directions are on full display with his new period piece “The Favourite.” Showing no remorse […] More
What sounds more like a French film festival outing than a romantic comedy centered around infidelity? In the wrong hands, this movie could have been a parody of itself. Luckily, “A Faithful Man” has a light touch. Actor/filmmaker Louis Garrel never takes things too seriously here, which works in his favor. This New York Film […] More
2018 NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL: Oppressively sad cinema can bring about some incredibly strong emotions. Mainly when the filmmaker is depicting painful moments from their lives, that can be a moving experience. However, to do that, you need to give the audience something to grab on to. “Ray & Liz” fails miserably in that regard. […] More
2018 NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL: Admitting that the feeling of being able to say to the nearest cinephile that you just saw the newest Orson Welles movie in 2018 plays heavily into watching “The Other Side of the Wind” is an understatement.

Here at the 2018 New York Film Festival, a movie is tackling this material. It’s “In My Room,” a German film that takes its time unfurling the story. […] More
It’s impossible to find someone with any knowledge of who Steve Bannon is that doesn’t have a strong opinion one way or the other. Either you hate him and think he’s evil, or you believe he’s the brains behind a populist revolution. Whether he’s vile or a truth teller, you aren’t indifferent to him. As […] More
2018 NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL: Directorial debuts have not had such an assurance in framing and messaging as we see in Paul Dano‘s highly effective “Wildlife.” Taking a hard, and deeply felt look into divorce and its interpretations through the eyes of a child, Dano magnifies the source material by pulling out extraordinary performances from his […] More
