#NAZA is the rare film of genuine urgency, answering a perplexing question: how does a military encourage its ethically troubled, AI-led, remote drone operators to kill women, children, and other innocents in the name of the state? Read our Critic's Pick review: thefilmstage.com/naza-review-...

While Andrew Haigh's adaptation of Colm Tóibín’s short story is sketched more broadly than previous work, it’s still a reflection of the director's empathy, intelligence, and keen narrative instincts. Read @thekentman.bsky.social's #NYFF64 review of #ALongWinter:

NYFF Review: A Long Winter Finds Andrew Haigh Empathetically Capturing a Loss of Innocence

Don't love the idea of A24 owning Letterboxd but if Sony buys it, they'll do the same thing they did to Alamo Drafthouse. And if the New York Times buys it, they'll do the same thing they did to the New York Times.

You may not have known this movie is coming out or that it happens to be in theaters now but it is and it's a true adventure picture featuring a terrific Ethan Hawke smuggling gold with a bunch of prisoners. It is well worth your time, money, and adrenaline.

This should have got more attention. A charming little movie about being open to new experiences and impetuous when it comes to life's delights. It's worth going out of your way to get that tasty dish you had forever ago or visit that place you've only read about. An antidote for our bleak moment.

In the movie Trespass (1992) Bill Paxton and William Sadler find a treasure map but the map leads to a warehouse in gang territory and Ice T is the gang leader. Tiny Lister is in it as one of Ice T's guys and to make him more menacing he wears baseball cleats. His name is Cletus.
