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 ... >>

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 ... >>
Mads Mikkelsen Shines in “The Last Viking”
By Patrick Howard
May 21, 2026
The Last Viking (Anders Thomas Jensen, 2025) 4½ out of 5 stars In The Last Viking, Anker (Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Frankenstein) is released from prison for robbery, only to learn that the money he stole was buried by his brother, Manfred (Mads Mikkelsen, Dust Bunny). To make matters worse, Manfred can no longer remember where he stashed the stolen loot. As the brothers set out to find the money, the search turns chaotic, and Anker and Manfred ... >>
“Among Neighbors” Challenges Polish Nationalism
By Rendy Jones
May 17, 2026
Among Neighbors (Yoav Potash, 2024) 4 out of 5 stars Growing up, my introduction to the Holocaust—beyond school textbooks—came through narrative features. The Pianist and Schindler’s List, specifically, were screened to me at a young age, highlighting WWII and the heartbreaking atrocities Jewish people faced. But hardly any media I’ve seen focused on the post-war period in Poland, a country still riddled with virulent antisemitism. Today ... >>
