Who's filming who? Our review of You Can See Everything — a sly, unsettling look at Elizabeth Holmes, Nathan Fielder's experiment in truth, performance and opportunism. Read our take. #Documentary

Two standouts at #NYFF: Mike Leigh's probable swan song Tender Loving Care tenderly examines social work, family and mortality, while Ryusuke Hamaguchi's All of a Sudden celebrates art, empathy and a luminous female bond. @kenjfuj @TheNYFF

Nimesh Patel’s Buy the Dip on @netflix blends savage political takedowns with new-dad rage into a smart, dark stand-up special. Sharp, daring, and oddly tender. #BuyTheDip #NetflixComedy @findingnimesh

The New York Film Festival may be over...but I have a couple more pieces left to sum it all up!
In the first part of my two-part #NYFF64 round-up for @BookPlusFilm, I trash BEHEMOTH! and admit my skepticism about the much-acclaimed German film EVERYTIME: bookandfilmglobe.com/film/tw…
NYFF Main Slate: Tony Gilroy's Behemoth! dazzled on the carpet but what about the screen? Sandra Wollner's Everytime arrived with Cannes/TIFF buzz, how did it fare in NY? @kenjfuj

Creator-native travel that actually listens. #UltimateTraveler

Boomer Hollywood's twilight? Neal & Stephen dissect Sorkin's misfire The Social Reckoning, Inarritu's Digger (yes, Cruise), and Primetime (catching To Catch a Predator.) Hot takes, laughs, and film grief. @thenealpollack

Twice a month I host a pop-culture podcast on @BookPlusFilm. In the latest episode we review The Social Reckoning, Digger, and Primetime. Social Reckoning is one of the worst movies ever made. bookandfilmglobe.com/podcast…
Aaron Sorkin takes Facebook to task in The Social Reckoning — sharp dialogue, damning stats, but is the timing off? Read our review and join the debate. #TheSocialReckoning #AaronSorkin

What is Christian nationalism? Theology, politics, or something darker? In Defying Tyrants, @TaylorMatthewD traces its path from Constantine to now. A sharp read on faith, power, & the cost of mixing church & state. #ChristianNationalism @GeorgetownFaith

Mountains of the Moon from @ChrisBenchetler : neon-lit night skiing, Grateful Dead on the soundtrack, Paul Stamets narrating. Is this our generation’s Koyaanisqatsi? Watch on @PrimeVideo and decide. #GratefulDead #Documentary

After a decade, Iñárritu’s Digger is here — Tom Cruise goes all-in. Visually stunning but thematically heavy-handed. Our review: a bold swing that mostly misses. #Digger #Inarritu

Primetime blurs the lines between predators. Robert Pattinson gives an intense performance, but is that really what we need? bookandfilmglobe.com/film/pr…
