Gad Elmaleh: American Dream (2018) EDIT “Gad Elmaleh is the biggest stand-up comedian in France, and a few years ago he decided to conquer the American stage, too. This is his first English-language special, and it's solid.” – New York Times Jul 17, 2019 Full Review Judd Apatow: The Return (2017) 86% EDIT “He fares well, drawing on his anxieties and frustrations around raising daughters, and he somehow manages to be self-effacing while also talking about spending time with Paul McCartney and Barack Obama.” – New York Times Jul 8, 2019 Full Review The Tale (2018) 99% EDIT “"The Tale" is a push, then, to disseminate a hard truth - and by extension an argument for confronting the reality of abuse and abusers, no matter how painful that process might be. And it's effective. Frighteningly, unforgettably so.” – New York Times May 25, 2018 Full Review Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds (2016) 100% EDIT “Ms. Fisher is brainy and salty and hilarious, and she's frank and eloquent in describing being bipolar.” – New York Times Dec 28, 2017 Full Review Too Funny To Fail (2017) 100% EDIT “That Too Funny to Fail doesn't meaningfully reckon with the insidious sexism within comedy is not much of a ding. As sweetheart hagiographies go, the doc is joyous and funny.” – New York Times Oct 20, 2017 Full Review The Wiz Live! (2015) 91% EDIT “It was fantastic. Where the others felt unintentionally campy and ridiculous, or downright strained and awkward, The Wiz had it figured out.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Dec 4, 2015 Full Review Veronica Mars (2014) 80% EDIT “Somehow, miraculously, the Veronica Mars movie is definitely not bad. It's pretty damn good, actually.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Mar 14, 2014 Full Review Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman (2005) 79% 2/5 EDIT “” – Time Out Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Made of Honor (2008) 15% 1/5 EDIT “” – Time Out Nov 16, 2011 Full Review
