The History of Concrete: basically just an 100-minute episode of How to With John Wilson in which he ponders the impermanence of TV shows, rocks, and all living things. loved every minute of it. an obvious early #Sundance2026 standout. my review: www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...

The Testament of Ann Lee: the Brutalist team returns for another, possibly even better historical epic about a European sailing to America & building a church, this one a quasi-musical starring Amanda Seyfried as Jesus 2.0. Often *transcendent* my review: www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...
Ballad of a Small Player: Colin Farrell is dealt a bad hand in Edward Berger's dysfunctional Conclave follow-up, a wonky and exasperating Netflix thriller about a gambling addict in Macau. think Sam Mendes doing Uncut Gems. hard fold. my review: www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...
Hamnet obliterated me. my review: www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...
Deliver Me from Nowhere works as a spare character study of a depressed rock god on the cusp of superstardom, falls flat whenever it tries to flesh that out with biopic trappings. i'll take it over the Dylan one any day. my review: www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...
No Other Choice: loved Park Chan-wook's bleakly hilarious capitalism satire about an unemployed guy who's so desperate for a job that he starts murdering the other candidates. a little Parasite, a little Looney Tunes, and then a big gut punch. my review: www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...
Cover-Up: Laura Poitras' damning new film clinically unpacks 50 years of American malfeasance, effectively connecting the dots between the My Lai massacre and the genocide in Gaza. one of the year's best docs. my review: www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...
Jay Kelly: very mixed on Noah Baumbach’s saddest but most sentimental movie, in which George Clooney turns out to be weirdly miscast as George Clooney. Sandler wasted. The last five minutes just about save the whole thing tho. my review: www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...
Richard is one of the very best in the business and Vanity Fair has no meaningful future without people like him on their masthead. So fucking stupid. Stupid stupid world. Hope he gets hired somewhere that actually appreciates his talent.
