I wish I never had to write this piece. On the late great David Lynch, a filmmaker who taught me how to look directly into the darkness.

David Lynch Was the Great, Golly-Gee Chronicler of American Darkness

Lynch, who died today at 78, combined Eisenhower-era innocence and experimental cinema to forge a disturbing, darkly hilarious look at American life.

He made strange things feel normal and normal things feel strange. We were so lucky to have him. time.com/7207633/davi...

We’re Lucky to Have Been Alive in the Age of David Lynch

The filmmaker behind Twin Peaks, Mulholland Dr., and Blue Velvet, who died at 78, made the strange seem normal and the normal feel strange.

Wrote about my favorite performance of the past year, and why what Marianne Jean-Baptiste does in HARD TRUTHS really feels like it's in a league of its own www.vulture.com/article/give...

For the Love of God, Give This Woman an Oscar Nomination

No one last year gave a performance that comes close to what Marianne Jean-Baptiste does in Hard Truths.
