#NowWatching Roofman (D:Derek Cianfrance, 2025)
"A warm and engaging crime dramedy uplifted by Tatum and Dunst’s chemistry, Roofman charms but never digs deep enough. Cianfrance trades his usual raw edge for a gentler touch, resulting in an appealing yet surprisingly subdued film."

Hangman's Knot (D/W: Roy Huggins, 1952)
The only film directed by Roy Huggins — future creator of Maverick, The Fugitive, and The Rockford Files — is an impressively dark cowboy thriller in which greed defines men far more than do politics or loyalty."

When I interviewed her in 1994 for Books in Canada, the published piece began: "I don't want this article to be about old age," Joyce Marshall told me in our first conversation, "or about a 'neglected' writer."
