I wrote about the new Nate Parker, which is an intriguing critique of the prison industrial complex until it becomes a rip-off of THE SHINING.

One of the very best films out of Sundance 2026. IF I GO WILL THEY MISS ME is a tender coming-of-age story deeply indebted to the visual poetry of Charles Burnett.

I hope y'all come out to see it in Chicago.

I put A.I. Artificial Intelligence on my Sight & Sound ballot because I'm a real one (I believe myself, @tylekurner.bsky.social, and Jonathan Rosenbaum were the only critics to do so).

Dawn Porter's latest, featuring Ta-Nehisi Coates, is an infuriating watch about systemic racism railroading three young black teens' lives.

Porter is going to be at the @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social for this screening!

But seriously, think about the public interest 60 years ago. It dwarfs now!

Let me preface this by saying that I probably have a terrible friend group, but it’s wild that humans are traveling around the moon again and I don’t know anyone who’s talking about it.

I have zero patience with people whose entire response is snark. You're not smart and you're definitely not cute.
