Tribeca 2021 Film Festival Review: Poser
Written by Taylor Baker 73/100 “I usually will record digital, then I rerecord analog because analog just sounds better.” Sylvie Mix stars as Lennon Gates, and before the title sequence winds down there’s little doubt that she’s the professed Poser that the film’s title indicates.

Tribeca 2021 Film Festival Capsule Review: Last Meal
Written by Alexander Reams 65/100 Throughout cinematic history food has been a metaphor for countless messages. Until viewing Last Meal I had never associated food with the death penalty.

Capsule Review: Down by Law
Written by Michael Clawson 90/100 Jack, Zack, and Bob: a layabout pimp who isn’t much of a talker, a downbeat DJ whose way with words is buttery smooth, and an Italian tourist with an ever-growing notebook of American idioms, an affection for American poetry, and a less than firm grip on English.

To give Wet House a numerical score is to strip it of all its compassion and makes me feel as if I am … Continue reading Atlanta Film Festival 2021 Review: Wet House

90/100 Written by Michael Clawson As charismatic as he is cynical and unscrupulous, down on his luck newspaperman Charles Tatum (Kirk Douglas, fantastic) stumbles on exactly the kind of “human interest” story he can exploit to get himself out of the boonies of New Mexico and back into the big leagues of East Coast journalism. … Continue reading Capsule Review: Ace in the Hole
