Tribeca Review: “Mario”
By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
June 9, 2026
Mario (Peter Kunhardt/George Kunhardt/Teddy Kunhardt, 2026) 3½ out of 5 stars Mario Cuomo (1932-2015) served three terms as the governor of New York State, from 1983 to 1995, losing his bid for a fourth term against Republican George Pataki. At the height of his popularity, Cuomo offered a powerful progressive voice in opposition to the social Darwinism of the Reagan-Bush era. Though he declined to run for president, he very much influenced the ... >>
Tribeca Review: “The Lorraine”
By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
June 8, 2026
The Lorraine (Sam Pollard, 2026) 3½ out of 5 stars Director Sam Pollard (Max Roach: The Drum Also Waltzes) is a reliably competent documentarian, always able to inform as well as engage. In The Lorraine, a film conceived and written by Alvin Hall, Pollard gives us the account of the titular motel, in Memphis, Tennessee. Black-owned, it reached its peak of popularity during the segregated era of the American South, appearing in Victor Hugo ... >>
Tribeca Review: “Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass”
By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
June 5, 2026
Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass (David Wain, 2026) 3 out of 5 stars An immensely silly film that deserves full kudos for effort, Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass is both beneficiary and victim of its almost overwhelming zest for fun. Starring Zoey Deutch (Nouvelle Vague) in the title role and a very game supporting cast—including Jennifer Aniston (Dumplin’), Jon Hamm (Maggie Moore(s)), and John Slattery (Nuremberg) as heightened ... >>

By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
June 4, 2026
Earth, Wind & Fire (To Be Celestial VS That’s the Weight of the World) (Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, 2026) 3½ out of 5 stars The Roots drummer Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, also a documentarian, just premiered his latest film, Earth, Wind & Fire (To Be Celestial VS That’s the Weight of the World), at the 2026 Tribeca Festival. As was the case with his otherwise-strong feature debut, Summer of Soul (…Or, When the ... >>
“Forge” Is a Smart and Stylish Caper
By George W. Campbell
May 21, 2026
Forge (Jing Ai Ng, 2026) 3½ out of 5 stars In a criminal underworld filled with grifters, where deception can be your livelihood, art forgery is a uniquely difficult trade. Your brushwork must be faithful enough to fool experts, but not personal enough to feel like it’s yours. It’s a delicate tightrope to walk, but thankfully, writer/director Jing Ai Ng is eager to explore it in her feature directorial debut, Forge. Taking a cue from crime ... >>
