SECRET MALL APARTMENT

April 9, 2025 By Leave a Comment

SECRET MALL APARTMENT

It was hard times in Providence, R.I., back in the early 2000s, and the city fathers decided that the best way to lift their town out of its economic doldrums was to build a shopping mall. Not just any mall, but a huge mall that catered not to the local, cash-strapped population, but rather to… Read More »

DEATH OF A UNICORN

DEATH OF A UNICORN

As Fitzgerald summed it up so well a century or so ago, the rich are difference than you and me, and Alex Scharfman’s sly black comedy, DEATH OF A UNICORN, expounds on that beautifully while also pointing up where the not nearly as rich fall short when in thrall to the 1%. There is nothing… Read More »

SUPER/MAN: THE CHRISTOPHER REEVE STORY

SUPER/MAN: THE CHRISTOPHER REEVE STORY is a respectful and honest documentary about the actor who rose to fame as the Man of Steel and the accident that put him in a wheelchair.

LOOK INTO MY EYES

LOOK INTO MY EYES

The unseen terrain explored in Lana Wilson’s LOOK INTO MY EYES is not what lies on the other side of this mortal veil. In this immensely moving documentary, she takes on something much more profound. She is examining in sometimes raw detail the nature of faith juxtaposed with the overwhelming need for certainty, or at… Read More »

DOWN IN DALLAS TOWN

November 22, 2023 By Leave a Comment

DOWN IN DALLAS TOWN

DOWN IN DALLAS TOWN is a melancholy descant on the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963. It begins typically enough, with the audio recording of an eyewitness detailing what he saw right in front of him that day in Dealey Plaza when Kennedy’s head was shattered by bullet. The throat catches, and he has to… Read More »

NOTHING COMPARES

NOTHING COMPARES

It is high time for a re-appraisal of Sinéad O’Connor. Now best remembered with a tinge of distaste for tearing up a picture of the Pope on “Saturday Night Live” in 1992, the singer is the focus of Kathryn Ferguson’s documentary, NOTHING COMPARES. Centering on O’Connor’s precipitous rise to stardom at barely 21 to the… Read More »

WE ARE AS GODS

August 10, 2022 By Leave a Comment

WE ARE AS GODS

WE ARE AS GODS, the telling of the remarkable life during interesting times of Stewart Brand, does not fall into the trap of hagiography. Mostly. It is hard not to fall under the spell of someone who, as one talking head puts it, has been at the right place at the right time so often… Read More »

FIRE OF LOVE

FIRE OF LOVE

Dosa infuses her story with a dash of the mythic, honoring her subjects who came to see volcanoes in mythic terms despite being rigorous scientists. There is more here than can be explained in merely factual terms.

RISE AGAIN: TULSA AND THE RED SUMMER

RISE AGAIN: TULSA AND THE RED SUMMER

Anticipating the centennial of the Tulsa race riots and massacre in 1921, Dawn Porter wanted to do more that remember that criminally ignored chapter in American history. The resulting documentary, RISE AGAIN: TULSA AND THE RED SUMMER, recounts a part of our history that had, similarly, been ignored by all but the survivors, and their… Read More »

BREWMANCE

April 11, 2021 By Leave a Comment

BREWMANCE

There could have been no better way for Christo Brock to start BREWMANCE, his documentary love letter to craft beer, than with Jim Koch of the Boston Beer Company. It’s not just that he pioneered craft beer as a commercial venture, and that he was so passionate about it that he personally canvassed bars, sometimes… Read More »
