My long rambling thoughts on why festivals should not play every film by any director, specifically Hong Sang-soo. I've said most of this on social media and I just brought the pieces together www.unseenfilms.net/2026/10/denn...

MINOTAUR is very disappointing. Its little more than a dressed up and remarkable infidelity drama with some reference to Russian military invasions. The steady stream of cable or VOD infidelity movies are more compelling www.unseenfilms.net/2026/10/mino...

If you know me you know how important my friend Lou was to me. I never got to say goodbye before he died-until today when John Turturro was so spot on in A STATEMENT misbehaving at a wedding it was like watching my friend Lou at a party. As I saw my friend alive, I said goodbye old friend

FATHERLAND is one of the best films at NYFF. Thomas Mann returns with his daughter to Germany after the war. It all culminates in a moment that rocked the press corps with its stunning beauty www.unseenfilms.net/2026/10/fath...

Two films at NYFF today A STATEMENT has an Oscar worth performance from John Turturro but is otherwise blah. MINOTAUR is a been there done that infidelity tale that is scamming festival programmers by adding pointless reference to Russian war and corruption. We've seen this

I RARELY WAKE UP DREAMING is one of the best films at NYFF. Its the based on true story of a queer couple in Ukraine as the Russians invade and what happens especially now that one has transitioned into being male in the wake of the draft www.unseenfilms.net/2026/10/i-ra...

While I liked ALL OF A SUDDEN at NYFF I could never get past it seeming to be less a drama more an over long polemic and lecture about how we treat people with cognitive decline www.unseenfilms.net/2026/10/all-...

DAO is one of the best films at TheNYFF. A three part film, it is a film that feels not like a film but like life. It is film where we were there. It made me cry at feeling & seeing the world for the first time. Have not real review, simply brief thoughts unseenfilms.net/2026/10/brie...
