After watching the three films at #NYFF63 I think Rose Byrne in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You and Jodie Foster in A Private Life surpass Julia Roberts’ work in After the Hunt.

I hope Rose Byrne gets tons of awards nominations for this movieβ€”she phenomenal. Looking glamorous at NYFF Thursday night for the If I Had Legs I’d Kick You screening which appeared to like with lots of laughter despite some harrowing moments.

Jim Jarmusch’s new film Father Mother Sister Brother screened tonight at Lincoln Center as the NYFF63 Centerpiece; it’s a gem and one of the director’s best. Jarmusch, Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Vicki Krieps, Indya Moore & Luka Sabbat did a q&a and the actors said they loved working with the director.

Will Bari Weiss be the next Rupert Murdoch? The possibility is horrifying.

😒 I wish I had seen her perform live on stage.

I wish I could have been there! But a rare screening of the silent film Beau Geste was playing at Film Forum.

I was there, too. Ben Whishaw is a treasure.

Well you can thank Chris Christie, a Republican, for getting the ball rolling to end public television in NJ.

@npr.org Sorry, no. There is no scientific link between Tylenol and autism.

Russell Tovey with director Carmen Emmi at IFC Center in Greenwich Village last night after a screening of the excellent Plainclothes. I got to talk to Tovey whose work I’ve admired since seeing him on Broadway 20 years (!) ago.

The dairy farmer surely will vote Republican again despite losing his shirt.

I saw Spinal Tap 2 today and I thought it was subtly funny and I laughed out loud several times. It was a perfect escape on a day I needed it. Full of odd jokes like the Museum of Glue. Fun seeing Paul McCartney and Elton John, too! (corrected for previous typo.)

Both these films are showing at NYFF but I could only fit Nouvelle Vague in my schedule. It may be imperfect but I love the French New Wave so I can’t wait to see it.

This is gold. Emmy for Morgan Spector just for the pronunciation of "Cuomo."

I wish I could agree here. I found his review offensive.

Do better, New York Times. If Trump is declaring war on America’s cities, something is seriously wrong.

Bilge Ebiri praised the film on Vulture. I’d trust his assessment over the mean-spirited review.

After a shaky first episode, I’m finding The Paper amusing in a low-key way and the cast is definitely growing on me. I’ll keep watching despite the ads.

I liked the production but then I’m a fan of Casey, Lorna, McKenzie and Kelly, all wonderful.

The reviews overall are fairly positive for The Paper. I hope it finds an audience. The cast looks like fun.

It’s blatant discrimination and anyone who voted for Trump is all right with that.

Kenneth Lonergan’s You Can Count on Me (2000) has long been one of my all time favorite films, now in a 4K @criterion.bsky.social edition. I totally relate to the touching sibling relationship depicted. Laura Linney & @markruffalo.bsky.social are superb. The ending makes me tear up every time.
