London Film Festival Review: Marielle Heller’s ‘Nightbitch’
“‘Nightbitch’ is all empty message and no provocation, its few shots of a fully transformed protagonist shocking only because of how little effort was made beyond giving Adams some contact lenses…”
London Film Festival Review: Mike Leigh’s ‘Hard Truths’
“For my money, Jean-Baptiste gives one of the strongest performances in Leigh’s oeuvre, afforded the space to go ‘big’ in ‘Hard Truths’ without ever feeling like she’s commanding a self-aggrandizing actor’s showcase.”
London Film Festival Review: Sean Baker’s ‘Anora’
“‘Anora’ excels by digging beneath the protagonist’s sparkling demeanor while unearthing the grit beneath each sequin.”

Review: Coralie Fargeat’s ‘The Substance’
“‘The Substance’ feels weirdly outdated, despite the writer-director’s many provocative attempts to demonstrate how misogyny and ageism play out in contemporary media.”
Review: Abhilash Shetty’s ‘Naale Rajaa Koli Majaa’
“With ‘Naale Rajaa Koli Majaa,’ Shetty gracefully explores the peculiarities of human relationships and the ironies of daily life in India, wherein the contemporary urban existence often stands at a crossroads with ancient traditions.”
Review: Brendan Walsh’s ‘I’ll Be Right There’
“Through well-defined performances and character dynamics, ‘I’ll Be Right There’ presents heartwarming ideas about personal growth with a genuine thoughtfulness and clever humor, resulting a a beguiling viewing experience.”
Feeling Like a Winner: Elliott Gould’s Hollywood Hot Streak
“Gould’s persona upended traditional notions of cinematic masculinity in its appeal to a generational fatigue and ambivalence; his sexual magnetism eschewed the amatory codes of the traditional leading man.”
