NAZA: A restrained yet no less urgent work of both journalism & filmmaking, it's one of the most damning, significant documentaries of the year. Washington folks, it opens Friday @siffnews.bsky.social & @thegrandcinema.bsky.social 📽️ My review @seattletimes.com: www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen...

Yuval Abraham sits on a rooftop in Tel Aviv with a figure obscured in shadow who is discussing the way that the Israeli military killed and continues to kill thousands of people in a still from the film NAZA.

Mikey Madison's performance in The Social Reckoning is akin to Jesse Eisenberg's in The Social Network, but it's pretty much squandered by indifferent direction, narrowly informational writing, and incuriosity; the movie has no spark of life: www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
