Jesse Eisenberg’s new play The Ziegfeld Files is a funny, poignant set of readings between a patient and therapist of recordings reflecting on marriage, parenthood and self-acceptance. Eisenberg begins reading at a breathless pace with many jokes; when he finally slows down he touches the heart.

Jim Jarmusch’s new film Father Mother Sister Brother screened tonight at Lincoln Center as the NYFF63 Centerpiece; it’s a gem and one of the director’s best. Jarmusch, Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Vicki Krieps, Indya Moore & Luka Sabbat did a q&a and the actors said they loved working with the director.

Kenneth Lonergan’s You Can Count on Me (2000) has long been one of my all time favorite films, now in a 4K @criterion.bsky.social edition. I totally relate to the touching sibling relationship depicted. Laura Linney & @markruffalo.bsky.social are superb. The ending makes me tear up every time.

I saw this 2019 film by Roman Polanski tonight at Film Forum—impressive for its acting and its historical recreation. Jean Dujardin is excellent as a military officer who discovers that Alfred Dreyfus has been unjustly convicted for treason.
