Bad Things from Tribeca Festival takes many elements from The Shining and creates an amusing queer remix. As it is the case with many horror movies, it is best not to dwell too much on whether everything makes sense. It will be on Shudder on 8/25. For those who cannot handle too much gore, it […]
This Is Not Financial Advice
THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE from Tribeca Festival is the crypto documentary that you have either been waiting for or did not know you wanted. It chronicles the highs and lows in the lives of several colorful crypto investors and is in turns entertaining and horrifying.
Deep Sea
Animated film DEEP SEA screening at Tribeca Festival looks absolutely incredible in 3D. Die-hard anime fans should definitely see it. It might be too much for casual viewers due to its lack of a clear plot and the potential sensory overload it might cause. It will stream as part of Tribeca At Home.
Richelieu
Richelieu lays out the real life horrors migrant workers face every day, in this case at a food processing plant in Quebec. You can feel the influence of The Dardenne Brothers right away. It is a tough yet necessary watch and has strong performances from Ariane Castellanos and the supporting cast. It just had its […]
Dead Girls Dancing
Director Anna Roller, actresses Luna Jordan, Katharina Stark, Noemi Nicolaisen, and crew members at the Tribeca Festival World Premiere of their film DEAD GIRLS DANCING.
Somewhere Quiet
Somewhere Quiet is no A Quiet Place. It employs many horror clichés without much impact and the way it blurred trauma and reality failed to resonate with me. Jennifer Kim is fine, but the always reliable Marin Ireland was the main saving grace in this psychological horror.
Your Fat Friend
Jeanie Finlay’s YOUR FAT FRIEND tells blogger, author, and podcast host Aubrey Gordon’s story while boldly exploring the stigmas surrounding being fat and does not hold back visually. Some might disagree with Aubrey’s views, but hers is a voice that needs to be heard.
Breaking The News
Tribeca Festival documentary Breaking The News is the story of Austin-based non-profit news organization The 19th News, which is run by female and non-binary journalists. It is inspiring to witness their rise in only 3 years. The film covers key news stories they brought to the forefront.
The Secret Art of Human Flight
Director H.P. Mendoza with actors Paul Raci, and Grant Rosenmeyer at the Tribeca World Premiere of THE SECRET ART OF HUMAN FLIGHT, an emotional indie comedy that is absurdly comical at times and has a satisfying non-cop-out finale.
Problemista
Director Julio Torres at the NewFest Pride screening of PROBLEMISTA, in which he stars with Tilda Swinton, RZA, and Greta Lee. He and Swinton make a hilarious duo. It’s an appropriately quirky critique of the U.S. immigration system and it’s so much fun! Greta Lee from Past Times is in this one as well. A24 […]
