Plus, the New York Film Festival continues.
A couple of the most talked about movies out of recent festivals are landing in theaters this weekend. |
One is "Triangle of Sadness," the satire from the Swedish director Ruben Ostlund that won the Palme d'Or at Cannes this year (his second consecutive film to do so). But the film was not loved by all. In his review, A.O. Scott called it "a very bad movie, executed with enough visual polish and surface cleverness to fool the Cannes jurors." |
The other is "Tár," starring Cate Blanchett as a famous conductor with mounting personal problems that won praise at Venice and Telluride. In his review, Scott called it a "cruelly elegant, elegantly cruel new film." |
Both movies also screened at the New York Film Festival, which is continuing at Lincoln Center. Manohla Dargis wrote about the festival's offerings in its second half, calling attention to what she saw as standouts like the documentary on Nan Goldin, "All the Beauty and the Bloodshed," and Margaret Brown's documentary on race in America, "Descendant." |
