Movie Review: Postpartum as Improv Exercise — “Die My Love”

Movie Review: Yorgos and Emma and Jesse, lost in “Bugonia”
The latest from the challenging and celebrated filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos might be his most on point satire yet. The director of “The Favorite” and “Poor Things” addresses the intellectual disconnect of modern discourse, the impatient and sometimes brusque way the … Continue reading

Movie Review: “Springsteen” makes “Nebraska” — “Deliver Me from Nowhere”
Self-revealing, self-examining, self-mythologizing, self-indulgent and self-destructive, those are all phrases that can apply to Bruce Springsteen’s seminal, uncompromising and defiantly anti-commercial album “Nebraska.” It can’t be called the LP that “made him.” But this critically-acclaimed smash from 1982 underscored the … Continue reading

Movie Review: A Twee Brit Romance with a Bittersweet Taste, “The Ballad of Wallis Island”
Ever so slight and so very, very British, “The Ballad of Wallis Island” passes the time like reading P.G. Wodehouse with a cup of Earl Grey on a rainy autumn afternoon. A couple of supporting players from British TV cooked … Continue reading

Documentary Review — Home Movies as Comedy Couples Counseling, “Stiller & Meara: Nothing is Lost”
They were the hottest comic “double act” of their day. Stiller & Meara were never as hip as Nichols and May, but reliably funny, TV (“family audience”) friendly and just edgy enough to give the live New York studio audiences … Continue reading
