What Ethan Hawke’s ‘Wildcat’ Gets Right About Flannery O’Connor
Those familiar with her menagerie of grotesques, her views of Southern society, her tortured faith and inner contradictions will get what his film is doing.

Happy to be able to share my essay for the new Criterion release of Paper Moon, a movie I have loved since I saw it as a a kid, and was thrilled to have the chance to revisit. www.criterion.com/current/post...
Paper Moon: Partners in Crime
In this tragicomic road movie about a Bible-selling con man and his precocious young charge, Peter Bogdanovich brings Depression-era America to vivid life without sentimentality or nostalgia.

‘All We Imagine as Light’ Review: Tender Comrades
In Payal Kapadia’s extraordinary drama, three women in Mumbai search for connections amid the city’s vibrant and darkly alienating churn.

One of the absolute BEST films of the year
I adore FLOW, the stunning Latvian animated feature out today. Top 10 of the year for me. A dialogue free movie starring animated animals about community vs. individualism, about seeing ourselves as part of a whole.
Here’s 4-star review for RogerEbert: www.rogerebert.com/reviews/flow...
