Gotham Week Night 3: The Locals delivered six exciting short films on their way to becoming feature-length films.
Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value is a beautifully crafted exploration of family, memory, and the fragile artistry that binds generations. It is one of the best films of this decade, if not ever.
Bleecker Street’s Bone Lake is an unusual horror film that offers a different take on relationships with a twist. Directed by Mercedes Bryce Morgan, it explores the dynamic of a couple who are having relationship troubles, played by Maddie Hasson and Marco Pigossi, as they go on a weekend getaway.
Lilith Fair was the first all-women music festival that launched the careers of music icons like Christina Aguilera, Erykah Badu, Brandi Carlile, Sheryl Crow, and Jewel, hosted and conceived by Sarah McLachlan.
Where do you go from here when you’re trying to rebuild a “Tron” franchise — one that honors the original while breaking free from its successor?
Forty-two years after audiences first plunged into the shimmering neon circuitry of Tron, and over a decade after Tron: Legacy revived the franchise with sleek, high-gloss bravado, Tron: Ares arrives like a signal from another world — one both hauntingly familiar and thrillingly new. Directed by Joachim Rønning, the film achieves what so few franchise revivals dare: it deepens the mythos without drowning in nostalgia. The result is a stunning, ambitious, and surprisingly emotional continuation that cements Tron as one of Disney’s most visionary science-fiction sagas.
Stepping into the premiere of Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt, my expectations were high. I’ve seen and adored so much of his oeuvre, and Julia Roberts never misses, so I expected a knockout.
And knocked out I was.
“How many people are in therapy?” Rebecca Zlotowski asked the audience, following the premiere of “A Private Life,” prompting hand raises and knowing laughter.
Not every music biopic needs to chronicle an entire life, and Scott Cooper’s Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere doesn’t attempt to depict The Boss in such a way. Bruce Springsteen’s catapult to fame? Skipped over. Instead, the film trades Springsteen’s hits for the moodier tracks of his sixth studio album, Nebraska. With a focus on this particular chapter of his life, the film sidesteps some biopic clichés — only to trip over others.
Ethan Hawke, Andrew Scott, and Bobby Cannavale attended the premiere of Richard Linklater’s new drama “Blue Moon” at the 63rd New York Film Festival on Monday.
