Hi, one of the best movies of the year opens in New York's @ifccenter.bsky.social today. Sierra Falconer's SUNFISH (& OTHER STORIES ON GREEN LAKE) is lovely, gentle, and 87 minutes long. I saw it back in January and haven't been able to stop thinking about it. www.vulture.com/article/sunf...

A Languorous, 87-Minute Movie Worth Watching

Sierra Falconer’s Sunfish (& Other Stories on Green Lake) is an anthology film that actually works.
