Trump’s Republican allies in the Senate BLOCKED my bill with Senator Murkowski to stop the Kennedy Center—or any presidential national memorial—from being demolished without an act of Congress. Just shameful.

I also saw Tender Loving Care tonight, and if this is Mike Leigh's final movie, as he says it likely is, what a high note on which to end a singular and utterly distinguished writing-directing careers. This one starts as amiable, even cheerful "minor" Leigh, then sneaks up and guts you. >

James Gray's Paper Tiger (tonight @ NYFF64): For me, his best--an exceptionally mature, grounded, emotional crime/family drama. Beautiful work w/ actors: Adam Driver is characteristically great, Scarlett Johansson is impeccable in a surprising character role, and Miles Teller does career-best work.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

The thing about studios dictating that everything is a spoiler is that months after the fact, the review doesn’t reflect the critic’s grappling with a film. It’s a reflection of a marketing strategy.
