In the years since, the ...

James Marsh's documentary Man on Wire may not be the best movie in the Tribeca Film Festival--it feels a little drawn-out at 94 minutes, and it includes "dramatic reconstructions" that, mixed in with home movies and news footage, create confusion about whether what we're seeing is real or staged--but it's easy to see why it ...

By now you're probably aware that Harmony Korine's third film as director follows a Michael Jackson impersonator (Diego Luna) in Paris as he meets and follows a Marilyn Monroe look-a-like (Samantha Morton) to a castle in Scotland filled with even more people dressed as iconic figures as varied and ridiculous as Queen ...

The relatively unheralded Russian film Simple Things is one of the happiest surprises of this year's Tribeca lineup. Written and directed by Alexi Popogresbsky, the film is a wry character study of an anesthetist--Sergei, played by Sergei Puskepalis--whose teenaged daughter has moved in with her boyfriend, giving Sergei and his beautiful wife ...
