- In 2007, I negatively reviewed SOUTHLAND TALES. In 2023, I revisited SOUTHLAND TALES. This new essay is not really about SOUTHLAND TALES. reverseshot.org/symposiums/ent…
- The greatest final film. Movies should never have to be—and practically never are—perfect. This one is, even with such daunting source material. I was thrilled to be asked to write the essay, and even more excited to hold this release in my hands.THE DEAD (1987) • Entering the Criterion Collection in January! The elegiac last film by John Huston finds the legendary director adapting a masterly short story by his favorite writer, James Joyce, into a poignant reflection on the totality of life.
- When @SightSoundmag asked me last week to pen an obituary for Terence Davies, I was decimated. I also knew nothing I wrote in the space allotted could do justice to the films or to the human being. It was an honor to have lived with his cinema. bfi.org.uk/news/terence-d…
- Excited & humbled to announce: My book FILMS OF ENDEARMENT is out in May. It's about my mother, queerness, the great actresses of the 80s, and how taste is made. [Yes, that's me & mom on the couch—I think '83.] Preorder from your local indie bookseller! amazon.com/Films-Endearme…
- Couldn’t have come up with something funnier if I tried. Well played, MAX.
- "You probably heard that one before. It was never new and it never gets old." @eshynes on why we're still haunted by Oscar Isaac's itinerant folk singer in the Coens' INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS, our 17th best movie of the decade. reverseshot.org/symposiums/ent…

- We can’t believe it, but we’re celebrating our 20th anniversary! More news to come. Thanks to everyone who cares about serious film criticism for helping us keep it alive.
- Happy New Year to everyone who believes film is not content, real criticism is not quantifiable by splats or stars, and life is measured in how many times you watch The Long Day Closes. Love to all who care. Stay tuned for much more in ‘25.
