“Their Finest” is one of those films that makes the art of making movies feel too self-important.
Sundance Review: “Nobody Speak: Hulk Hogan, Gawker and Trials of a Free Press”
The stories of how the wealthy and powerful are shaping American journalism to fit their needs is more than a little disturbing.

Sundance Review: “The Big Sick”
