The best thriller of 2025 is Geeta Gandbhir's harrowing documentary THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR.

For @reverseshot.bsky.social, I spoke with Gandbhir during #NYFF63 about subverting the inherent dehumanizing of police bodycam videos to empathetically record a community.
Geeta Gandbhir

All five essays of the Reverse Shot mini-symposium on Hideo Kojima, his career, and his themes, have officially made it up. I encourage you to read through them if you ever want a journey through his work told by five unique writers.

Adored Richard Linklater's BLUE MOON, playing this week at NYFF and releasing soon. The film uses the breakdown of Rodgers and Hart's creative partnership to tease out age-old paradoxes between art and commerce, hope and despair, commitment and compromise. My review:

The exquisite, deeply moving SUNSET SONG today at 4 p.m. at Museum of the Moving Image with star Agyness Deyn in person!
This big-screen must-see closes out the series Terence Davies: Time Present and Time Past.
movingimage.org/event/sunset...
Day 3 of MoMI's Terence Davies series features a triple dose of sublime cinema: his sole documentary OF TIME AND THE CITY, Gena Rowlands in THE NEON BIBLE (in 16mm, with costar Jacob Tierney in person), and Davies's devastating final film, BENEDICTION.

If you don't know THE TERENCE DAVIES TRILOGY—his first 3 shorts—then you don't know Terence Davies. Some of the most indelible images you'll ever see.
Screening this Sat afternoon, once only, in imported 35mm prints at Museum of the Moving Image.

We're talking ROPE tomorrow with Michael Koresky on our first ever Hitchcock pod! Michael wrote about the film extensively in his latest book—Sick and Dirty: Hollywood’s Gay Golden Age and the Making of Modern Queerness—which you really REALLY should get your hands on soon
Sick and Dirty
A blazingly original history celebrating the persistence of queerness onscreen, behind the camera, and between the lines during the dark days of the Hollywood P…

BOYS GO TO JUPITER, with its timelessly melancholic portrait of youth situated in a ravaged economy, is one of my fave films of the year. I talked to Julian Glander about how Blender changed his life, eggs, and being on Jeopardy! for @reverseshot.bsky.social: reverseshot.org/interviews/e...
Julian Glander (Boys Go to Jupiter)
One takeaway I hope people get from the movie is that through all of this rot and through everything, there are things that are worth paying attention to, and they're happening all around you. And I t...

I wrote about the classic queer film TAXI ZUM KLO for Reverse Shot ( @reverseshot.bsky.social ). It's currently playing at The Metrograph in NYC and you should definitely go watch it if you can.

I’ve been an avid reader of Reverse Shot and its marvellous coterie of writers for years, so it’s a honest thrill to make my debut there, on Ari Aster’s prickly, perverse, brilliant EDDINGTON. (Thank you to Michael Koresky for being a dream editor.)

Tonight!
Patiently waiting for Monday's screening of SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER featuring post-screening book signing and Q&A with Michael Koresky, moderated by film critic Melissa Anderson.

Nominated for three Oscars. Arguably the best Tennessee Williams adaptation!

At Crooked Marquee this week I wrote about Michael Koresky's fantastic new book SICK AND DIRTY: HOLLYWOOD'S GAY GOLDEN AGE AND THE MAKING OF MODERN QUEERNESS. This is what great critical writing is all about. (Not mine, his.)
