It’s only been two days since Father’s Day. It is OK to put on a movie for the occasion still and I suggest streaming the beautiful film A STRANGE PATH, available from Tribeca At Home. It has surreal touches, delightful subtle humor, and packs an emotional punch at its conclusion.

So Young Shelly Yo’s SMOKING TIGERS is a restrained coming-of-age story about a Korean-American teenage girl. It touches on class divide, having a broken immigrant family, and overall teenage angst. The emotional final scene was the highlight for me. It is now a streaming via Tribeca At Home.

Disturbing fraternity hazing film THE LINE has good performances from Alex Wolff and Austin Abrams. While it does not break any new ground, it looks fine and is completely believable. It is worth watching on Tribeca At Home if the subject interests you. It has a fine score by Grizzly Bear’s Daniel Rossen, who also […]

Tribeca At Home films are now available to stream in the US until July 2nd. Here’s a Letterboxd list of the features included. https://letterboxd.com/filmfestival/list/tribeca-at-home-2023/

John Slattery’s MAGGIE MOORE(S) starring Jon Hamm and Tine Fey is stuck somewhere between a Coen Brothers crime film and an episode of Monk. It struggles to get the balance right between the violent and the lighthearted. If you can overlook that unevenness and its overall lack of suspense, it might be worth seeing for […]

Rod Blackhurst’s BLOOD FOR DUST with Scoot McNairy, Kit Harington, and Josh Lucas is a slow-burn western noir with a couple of violent shootout sequences. It will appeal more to the fans of the genre and those who want to see Kit Harington shoot a lot of people. It is screening at Tribeca Festival and […]

Director Bryian Keith Montgomery Jr. with Pam Grier, Jeremie Harris, Hailey Kilgore, David Iacono, and producer Oz Scott at the Tribeca World Premiere of the very entertaining ‘90s throwback comedic crime thriller CINNAMON.

Filmed in a continuous take with a narrowing aspect ratio, trauma/revenge thriller One Night With Adela from Tribeca Festival starts slowly and takes an astonishing turn halfway through. Laura Galan from last year’s Sundance Midnight selection Piggy is brilliant as Adela. Don’t miss this when it’s streaming Tribeca At Home if you can’t catch it […]

Honestly I was only mildly interested in CHASING CHASING AMY when I first heard about it. It turned out to be both a beautiful love story and an unexpectedly revelatory making-of documentary. Worth seeing at Tribeca Festival or when it’s streaming 6/19-7/2.

Break The Game from Tribeca Festival is a documentary with a lot on its mind including transphobia, depression, cyberbullying, social media addiction, and romance. As someone with zero interest in gaming, I still found it compelling. There are parallels between Narcissa locking herself inside of her apartment to interact with her followers and people who […]
