    “Verity” Is a Criminal Waste of Talent (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Melodrama is perched on the edge of laughter because it’s intrinsically a parody of tragedy, an infusion of heroic grandeur into workaday lives. The laughter I hear (and sometimes even unleash) when I’m in a theatre watching a classic melodrama never seems, or feels, derisive but, rather, astonished. So it was, too, when I saw one of the more classically tailored of recent melodramas, “It Ends with Us,” from 2024, adapted from a novel by Colleen Hoover. That movie’s absurdities didn’

    The Best Things Richard Brody Saw During Week One of the New York Film Festival (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Many of the best films I’ve seen at advance screenings of this year’s New York Film Festival are by veterans of the annual event, but this year’s main-slate lineup adds a twist: a veteran filmmaker who is making his long-delayed N.Y.F.F. début. The director in question, Mani Haghighi, has been making features for more than twenty years; four of them are among the best films of the era, but only one has been released in the U.S. Now his latest will have its world première at the festival, on Sept

    “NAZA” Puts Israel Face to Face with the War in Gaza (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In November, 2023, and April, 2024, the Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham wrote a pair of articles about the high number of civilian casualties in the attacks that Israel launched in Gaza in response to Hamas’s massacre of Israelis on October 7, 2023. In these pieces, which appeared in English in +972 and in Hebrew in Local Call, Abraham (who discussed his work with my colleague Isaac Chotiner after the second piece appeared) reported that these civilian deaths were the result of specific polic

    New York Film Festival’s World of Cinema (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The torrent of cinema that’s coming to the New York Film Festival (Sept. 25-Oct. 12) displays a thrilling array of artistry from around the world, on both sides of the camera. Arthur Harari, best known for co-writing “Anatomy of a Fall,” directed “The Unknown,” a harrowingly intense, metaphysical melodrama, set in and near Paris, where three people, after casual sexual encounters, discover that they have swapped bodies with their partners. The exotic premise is developed with relentles

    In “The Sun Never Sets,” Joe Swanberg Strips Romance to Its Bones (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Joe Swanberg has a career of remarkable stylistic variety. He started, in 2005, as a do-it-yourself filmmaker, with budgets in the low four figures, and built up an informal stock company of then unfamiliar actors who quickly distinguished themselves in the field—including Greta Gerwig, whose career was launched by her leading role in his freewheeling 2007 movie “Hannah Takes the Stairs.” In 2013, he changed course drastically, directing Anna Kendrick, Olivia Wilde, Jake Johnson, and Ron L
