If you're looking to spend your Thanksgiving with an easy-on-the-eyes journalism doc, consider TEENAGE WASTELAND, which feels like SPOTLIGHT meets THE BREAKFAST CLUB and goes down easy as pumpkin pie. For @ebertvoices.bsky.social: www.rogerebert.com/reviews/teen...

Lots of things will be said about Udo Kier in the coming days, but I hope folks use this time to seek out his work in SWAN SONG, a delicate, hilarious tribute to queer elders that was an incredible late career vehicle for one of our most unique character actors.

"At all times, he wrote to be understood, not to be deciphered."

I waxed poetic on what Roger (and Gene) meant to me as a kid and mean to me as a writer, along with my colleagues at @ebertvoices.
