On Monday, March 11, 2019, at SXSW, I interviewed director Bob Byington to discuss his newest feature, Frances Ferguson (which I also reviewed). Joining us for the conversation were lead actress Kaley Wheless and supporting player David Krumholtz. The movie […]

For the uninitiated, Byington’s films are best describes as Twilight Zone Todd Solondz with jokes.

RESULTS

In "Results," his fifth feature as a director, Andrew Bujalski takes a big step towards the mainstream while still staying true to his almost auteuristic storytelling and narrative style.

Michael Tully — Wed, 25 Mar 2015 15:17:05 +0000

Including two titles I’d seen before the 2015 SXSW Film Festival kicked off (read my reviews of Western and Entertainment if you haven’t already), I managed to catch 22 features this year. Which is to say, not a pathetic number […]

TRIBECA ’13: SUSANNA LOCASCIO’S WRAP-UP

Wed, 01 May 2013 18:18:05 +0000

A Conversation With Bob Byington (SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES ME)

Sat, 21 Apr 2012 15:00:02 +0000

Bob Byington is a jerk. During our interview, he gave monosyllabic answers, barely made eye contact, and put a cigarette out in my lentil soup. Okay, that didn’t really happen. Truthfully, he was quite amiable albeit under the weather when […]

Help Save CINEMA NOLITA: Benefits This Weekend

Lena Dunham — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 16:32:46 +0000

As New York’s video stores close, one by one, we mourn the loss of a precious resource: community clubhouses, libraries for cinephiles. But even more deeply felt (by me) has been the slow extinction of the Video Store Guy, that […]

TOE TACTIC, THE

Michael Tully — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 20:57:05 +0000

Celebrated short filmmaker Emily Hubley doesn’t view the world through normal eyes. Her debut feature, The Toe Tactic, is a very pleasant reminder of this. By inserting her vibrant animated vision into a much more somber and grounded live-action story, […]
