Cowboys | Tribeca Film Festival 2020
The drama’s greatest strength is that writer/director Anna Kerrigan opts for nuance.
True History of the Kelly Gang
Striking, at times exhilarating, but ultimately uneven, the adaptation of Peter Carey's novel is a fascinating addition to the depictions of the outlaw Ned Kelly.
Never Rarely Sometimes Always
Eliza Hittman’s third feature is richly rewarding as well as political, and this aspect is neither overstated nor shied away from.
The Whistlers
A fun, dark, finely crafted thriller that is somewhat impenetrable.
Invisible Life
A work of undeniable talent and poignancy, though it is not easy viewing.
Uncut Gems
The Safdie brothers have crafted yet another film that places a character in increasingly high-risk situations that careen between comedy and genuine menace. It's nowhere close to relaxing, and is none the worse for it.
