Your reaction to The Black List will depend largely on your expectations for documentary filmmaking, though it’s difficult to imagine anyone not being at least intrigued and entertained by it. Read more...
Deficit
Pity Bernal wasn’t on hand for a post-film Q&A (seems the Y Tu Mama Tambien, Motorcycle Diaries and Science of Sleep star is attending a wedding in Spain this weekend), as Deficit is a film worth discussing—and rewatching—at length. Read more...
