Started watching THE BRUTALIST on Max. This part stung a little more after this week.

His and her signs for today’s No Kings event. Susan and I didn’t worry about being clever or creative. We just wrote the first thing that came to mind.

Greetings from West Hollywood.

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

My @screendaily review of ELIO, a bighearted, amusing sci-fi story about belonging that gets a bit lost along the (milky) way. screendaily.com/reviews/elio-r…

For Screen International, I reviewed F1, which finds Brad Pitt completing an unofficial trilogy (alongside MONEYBALL and ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD) of playing aging guys who've still got it. screendaily.com/reviews/f1-rev…

Author and musician Jonathan Gould gave himself the task of trying to write the definitive biography of Talking Heads. I had a long conversation with him about autism, the band's permanent cool, and the greatest concert film ever made. pastemagazine.com/books/talking-…

'The Damned' brings the Civil War to intimate life, obliquely and mesmerizingly latimes.com/entertainment-…

For the Los Angeles Times, I reviewed THE DAMNED, nonfiction filmmaker Roberto Minervini's first foray into what might be considered "conventional" narrative storytelling. Not surprisingly, his take on the antiwar drama is far from conventional. latimes.com/entertainment-…

SORRY, BABY comes out on Friday. I loved the film at Sundance and am looking forward to revisiting soon. In the meantime, here's my Screen International review. screendaily.com/reviews/sorry-…

"Sorry, baby." "If I had legs I'd kick you." "Honey don't!"

Very much looking forward to moderating these FAMILIAR TOUCH conversations with writer/director Sarah Friedland and star Kathleen Chalfant on Sunday. Tickets and info here: laemmle.com/film/familiar-…

THE MASTERMIND hits U.S theaters on October 17. It's become fairly predictable to praise Kelly Reichardt's movies to the hilt, but I think this one is really special -- and also one of her best. screendaily.com/reviews/the-ma…

For the Los Angeles Times, I reviewed MARLEE MATLIN: NOT ALONE ANYMORE, an affectionate portrait of the actress that reveals the fighter inside. latimes.com/entertainment-…

Josh Rottenberg Amy Nicholson Esther Zuckerman Robert Abele Marlee Matlin is a special kind of survivor, someone who needed Hollywood to catch up to her. Tim Grierson reviews NOT ALONE ANYMORE, the galvanizing documentary about her struggles. latimes.com/entertainment-…
