The Current Cinema 6/8/2018

By June 8, 2018No Comments

A busy week. In Streaming, I write about Pride Month com­mem­or­ative pro­gram­ming on dif­fer­ent plat­forms, provid­ing an oppor­tun­ity to think on Derek Jarman and Chery Dunye. In reviews, for Ebert there’s the pretty extraordin­ary Nancy, and the atro­cious 211. For the Times, three divert­ing movies that aren’t QUITE out­stand­ing, and such is life, and art: Bernard and Huey, The Quest of Alain Ducasse, and Hotel Artemis.

    Appreciate the heads-up on “Nancy.” Ever since “Shadow Dancer,” I’ve looked for­ward to Riseborough’s scattered appear­ances wherever they turn up. Only prob­lem is it’s hard to recog­nize her half the time – though her lack of van­ity is admir­able. I got to the end of “Nocturnal Animals” without real­iz­ing she’d had an exten­ded cameo. Her work deserves the spot­light you provide.
