AFTER THE HUNT nakedly aims for TÁR but is woefully short in every aspect. The script is so smug and everyone is miscast with the exception of the great Michael Stuhlbarg.

A REAL PAIN is the goods and Kieran Culkin is the leader in the clubhouse on my card for that performance. Loved this.

I SAW THE TV GLOW captures suburban suffocation as punishingly accurate as I've seen; not ennui, something far more rotten. Beautiful and deeply sad movie. Jane Schoenbrun is a major talent. 📽️

Bertrand Bonello's THE BEAST is the best new movie I've seen in awhile. Outrageous bad vibes. 2 1/2 hours of Lea Seydoux's face, huge.

Nobody in this business is willing to step up to the plate and catastrophically mishandle serious, sensitive issues well beyond their grasp like Taika Waititi.

Saw DUMB MONEY last night.

Bad.

But Paul Dano is always reliable.
