The best thriller of 2025 is Geeta Gandbhir's harrowing documentary THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR.
For @reverseshot.bsky.social, I spoke with Gandbhir during #NYFF63 about subverting the inherent dehumanizing of police bodycam videos to empathetically record a community.

Once we committed to the body camera footage, we were determined to live in it. We wanted to build and recreate the world that this community existed in, which you couldn't do otherwise. So, it was ch...

Radu Jude’s madcap, 3-hour “Dracula” often overstays its welcome, but mirrors the excesses of the vampiric generative A.I. and technofascim in its crosshairs. For better or worse, there’s nothing like it. #NYFF63 observer.com/2025/10/movi...
Screening at NYFF: Radu Jude’s ‘Dracula’
It’s hard not to wonder if Jude assumes the film’s intended audience isn’t on his level, resulting in a compromised piece that stops dead in order to explain its own jokes at length.

Matilda Hague explores a recurring subject in cinema, fatherhood, in Ronan Day-Lewis' ANEMONE, a film whose biggest draw is its insistence that fatherhood, however fraught, is the point where history finally demands acknowledgment #NYFF63 buff.ly/j54j01k
New York 2025 review: Anemone (Ronan Day-Lewis)
"Explores trauma, guilt, and reconciliation through an emotionally charged lens" Over the past year, I’ve been struck by how often fatherhood appears on

SCARLET is proof that grounded Mamoru Hosoda is gone. He's deep in his maximalist phase. More accessible than BELLE, this supernatural, gender-swapped riff on Hamlet is stunning yet on-brand overambitious. I liked it well enough though.

'Scarlet' Review: Mamoru Hosoda's Supernatural, Gender-Swapped Hamlet is Another On-Brand Overambitious Spectacle
Even though I miss Hosoda's simple work, 'Scarlet' is another stunning effort a visionary whose stories are frustratingly overambitious but still captivating.

Jim Jarmusch's gentle, Golden Lion-winning triptych "Father Mother Sister Brother" balances the director's sardonic wit with a wistfulness for awkward, imperfect family reunions. A lovely trio of thematically inter-connected memories. #NYFF63 observer.com/2025/10/movi...
Screening at NYFF: Jim Jarmusch’s ‘Father Mother Sister Brother’
This gentle drama—which won the coveted Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival—seems unassuming at first but builds its three semi-related sagas both gradually and melodically,.

SCARLET is Mamoru Hosoda’s riff on Shakespeare’s Hamlet. It's a visually spectacular animated film that has a great deal on its mind. It has some of the best things you'll see all year & some of the most mundane.See it

Bradley Cooper is 3 for 3 on films that, frustratingly, miss out on being great. Still think he has it in him, but in the meantime, the divorce-and-stand-up dramedy “Is This Thing On?” is good enough. #NYFF63 observer.com/2025/10/revi...
Screening at NYFF: Bradley Cooper’s ‘Is This Thing On?’
The story examines how creative release can both mask and magnify personal turmoil, tracing one man’s attempt to turn emotional chaos into performance.
