Boring Film Critic Astonishes Us With Trio of Hatchet JobsFans of Rex Reed’s usual nap-inducing work as a film critic for the Observer are bound to be disappointed by today’s eminently readable triple-takedown of three movies featured at this year’s New York Film Festival.
Baumbach Is BackLike a blizzard in June, this unseasonable trailer stars no aliens, zombies, or superheroes. Instead, it announces upcoming Baumbach’s fall-film-fest-friendly feature, Margot at the Wedding. (See ya at the NY Film Fest!). And, yes, he’s back to strained family dynamics: two sisters (Nicole Kidman and Baumbach’s partner Jennifer Jason Leigh), one lovable-loser fiancé (Jack Black), and one floppy-haired son who has a Graduate-esque moment at the bottom of a pool.
