Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow’s documentary film “De Palma” is as informative and entertaining as you can expect from the illustrious career of Brian De Palma, who surely deserves to be called “the Master of the Macabre” for many of … Continue reading
Loving (2016) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): On their quiet love and struggle

Southside with You (2016) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): One day of Barack and Michelle in Chicago
