★★★★★ Future viewers of Paradise Records will probably fall into two distinct camps: the first will be major fans of Logic’s discography, and will be curious to see it translated on screen. The second camp will be clueless to Logic, yet lovers of stoner comedies. Even without any familiarity, there is still something deeply hilarious … Continue reading Tribeca 2025: Paradise Records
Tribeca 2025: Rosemead
★★★★ Despite knowing very little about Rosemead beyond the blurb of synopsis from the festival, my interest was piqued twofold: debut director Eric Lin promised a deep dive into Asian culture, and lead Lucy Liu was also on board as a producer. Based on a true story, this searing portrait of an immigrant’s experience protecting … Continue reading Tribeca 2025: Rosemead
Tribeca 2025: Titan: The OceanGate Disaster
★★★★ The sinking of the Titanic remains a defining moment in worldwide culture despite occurring over 100 years ago at this point.

Tribeca 2024: Tim Burton Docuseries
Armed with the knowledge that one of my favorite directors of all time, Tim Burton, would be getting a retrospective documentary was almost too exciting for words going into 2024's iteration of the Tribeca Film Festival. Burton's style as a creative was so unique that it would change the very fabric of filmmaking forevermore. Still … Continue reading Tribeca 2024: Tim Burton Docuseries
Tribeca 2024: Jazzy
★★★★ Filmmaker Morissa Maltz etched out her spiritual successor to previous film The Unknown Country over a six-year period, building out a movie for her young subject Jazzy, who plays a version of herself. Born of unused footage from that movie, this installment makes superstars of its little preteens. Going into Jazzy, I had minimal … Continue reading Tribeca 2024: Jazzy
Tribeca 2024: The Knife
★★★★ To say that racism and cops railroading the helpless citizens they are trying to protect are hot button topics right now would be a massive understatement. There is still ferocious anger lingering in the air, with so many turning on those meant to keep us safe. People who pervert their power want to twist … Continue reading Tribeca 2024: The Knife

★★★★★ Its title being quite a mouthful says almost nothing of the delightful surprises housed just underneath the surface of deranged dark comedy, The Shallow Tale of a Writer Who Decided to Write About a Serial Killer. Collecting an all-star cast including John Magaro (Past Lives, Orange is the New Black), Britt Lower (Severance, Darkest … Continue reading Tribeca 2024: The Shallow Tale of a Writer Who Decided to Write About a Serial Killer
Tribeca 2024: Darkest Miriam
★★★★ Anytime executive producer Charlie Kaufman is involved in a production, even in the most minuscule of ways, one has to take notice. His films Anamolisa and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind rank amongst my favorites of all time, and this year's Orion and the Dark was a clear standout earlier this year. Now, … Continue reading Tribeca 2024: Darkest Miriam
