“JoJo Rabbit” 75% - A tricky balance of tones to pull off, but Taika’s real gift is getting winning and truly funny performances out of kids.
“The Lighthouse” 75% - High marks in my Keeper’s log for the film craft and dedication to sea language.
Overworked movie trailer trope right now — the tick-tocking of a clock. Edits matched the beat of the ticks, tempo increases to a manic pace that leads to a crescendo — then, finally back to a singular, normal speed tick-tock layered with reverb.
“Parasite” 88% - Darkly comedic, cruel at times look at the modern “High and Low” class gap. Set design of the two primary homes is absolutely killer.
“The Irishman” 88% - A trio of knockout performances. Pesci is a national treasure. The runtime is always the lead, but I’m glad I got to see it on the big screen in a theatre with a crowd.
AirDrop has to be the single most frustrating Apple feature of all time. Mostly because when it works it’s a genius tool, but it’s so wildly inconsistent and totally schizophrenic.
“Gemini Man” 63%-The high frame rate is a big ask for the audience to overcome. But the first hour is a really exciting Will Smith “Bourne” movie with some well executed, high concept chase sequences.

Andrew Patterson's The Vast of Night is "...eerie and compelling..." and unlike anything we've seen in a long time. Check out the new poster, designed by Midnight Marauder for Mondo.

And finally! My most-anticipated film of the fest was Andrew Patterson's THE VAST OF NIGHT, a low-budget, high-ambition period sci-fi flick about a 1950s alien invasion.
It lived up to the hype.

Public Service Announcement: the @A24 podcast is just wonderful. Especially the extended Bergman discussion with Ari Aster & Robert Eggers.
“Once Upon a Time in ... Hollywood” 100% - One of those times I wish I could run the projector back and start it over again immediately.
“The Art of Self Defense” 75%-Appreciate full commitment to the dark comedy bit. Eisenberg is always solid, Nivola is terrific here, what’s he been doing?
“Yesterday” 75% - A delightful, entertaining watch. The musical fantasy works much better than the rom-com bits. What’s wrong with lightweight crowd-pleaser every once in a while?
