My review of the documentary Once Upon a Time in Harlem is now up at Film-Forward. Another excellent watch out of this year's New York Film Festival.

My NYFF review of Club Kid is now up at Film-Forward. I really enjoyed this movie and Jordan Firstman's direction and layered performance. 

a long winter

It's been a long time since I last chimed in here, so perhaps it's fitting to post my Film-Forward review of Andrew Haigh's A Long Winter. The film was my first of many New York Film Festival press screenings I attended and because the film, based on Colm Tóibín's novella, is patient and so enveloping in its wintry atmosphere, I thought it was a nice way to kick off another rewarding fest.
