In true John Wilson fashion, THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE explores the foundational material that holds New York City together, before going off on wildly disparate tangents. @sadfilmcritic chats with Wilson about Mamdani, Wiseman, concrete ramps, and more. reverseshot.org/interviews/e…

"There is barely the pretense of a traditional first act before HOPE hits the gas, seldom relenting over two and a half hours of alternating chases and tense investigations." @FateSailor reviews Na Hong-jin's very long monster movie: reverseshot.org/reviews/entr…

David Lynch’s final theatrical feature was also his most surreal and formally audacious film since his 1977 debut. Don't miss INLAND EMPIRE when it screens on October 2, part of our @reverse_shot presents series. 🎟️: movingimage.org/event/inland…

Love Me Tonight, @MovingImageNYC at 1 in 35mm, has one of the great soundtracks—indelible songs (by Rodgers and Hart) and musicalized dialogue, lively singers (Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald); Rouben Mamoulian's direction is busier than stylish; still, go and hear!...

I wrote about TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA for @reverse_shot. I think it is an extraordinary film - a dizzying, unabashedly kitschy stoner rom-com. I sung its praises + did a temp check on "Trans Cinema" below: reverseshot.org/reviews/entr…

Some words on Take Care of My Cat, one of my longtime letterboxd top 4 and among the greatest Korean films of this century so far, for @reverse_shot. Thank you @kani_releasing for bringing this gem to North America at last!

Re: THE ODYSSEY: I don’t think the IMAX works. I have other, similarly ambivalent thoughts, and towards the end they get spoiler-y, so proceed accordingly.
