Interview with Ellen Adair, Kris Arnold, & Alexandra Dell on 'Roommating' (2018)

I met Alex last year at a networking event (gag) for NYC Web Fest and immediately liked her. We somehow managed to skip all of the small talk bullshit and actually have an interesting conversation about film, art, and the difficulties of negotiating a pay raise. Post-festival, we've

'Gilmore Girls' Season 4, Episode 16: The Reigning Lorelai

Directing and writing credits: "The Reigning Lorelai" is directed by Marita Grabiak, written by Jane Espenson. This is Grabiak's first (and only) episode of "GG," and she does a commendable job. I imagine it would be relatively boring to direct this kind of TV

'Kate Nash: Underestimate the Girl' (2018) by Amy Goldstein

Vibe: "Underestimate the Girl" may contain elements of cinema vérité, but it's actually a carefully crafted music documentary. The emotional beats are perfectly timed, and the takeaway message is clear: no matter how many times the world tries to crush us, women will continue to rise

'South Mountain' (2019) by Hilary Brougher

Vibe: "South Mountain" is sweaty summer incarnate. Everything is hot, sticky, and slightly disheveled. No one is thinking straight or making great choices. Cigarettes are secretly smoked on kitchen stairs, berries are picked, tea is sipped. For a few weeks, you get to spend time with a family

'A Colony' (2018) by Geneviève Dulude-De Celles

Vibe: Uncomfortable. "A Colony" brought me right back to high school and viscerally reminded me of how much I hated it. It's impossible not to connect with Mylia (Emilie Bierre) as she walks into a party and sees her classmates effortlessly socializing and having fun. Why

'The Baby-Sitters Club' (1995) by Melanie Mayron

Vibe: "The Baby-Sitters Club" brings me back to summers spent running around like a maniac outside, reading chapter books on my parents' porch swing, and thinking about boys for a brief second before remembering that they're disgusting. I first saw this movie at my neighbor

Interview with Stella Meghie on 'The Weekend' (2018)

Sasheer Zamata and Y'lan Noel together in a movie directed by Stella Meghie? Sign me up! Since I was already back home in Ann Arbor during the Tribeca premiere, I watched a screener in bed with two of my cats and a bag of Haribo Berries (the best
