Best & Worst Films at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival
The 16th Tribeca Film Festival closes today after 10 days of world premieres. Below, sample the critical response to over a dozen key films (and one TV series). Note that one of Tribeca's biggest debuts, The Circle, just opened in theaters and so is not included below (nor are the TV shows Genius and The Handmaid's Tale, which also debuted to the public last week). Movies that previously debuted elsewhere, such as Manifesto, are also excluded.
The latest from writer-director Azazel Jacobs (Terri) is a sexual farce starring Debra Winger and Tracy Letts as a married couple who rekindle their desire for each other in the midst of their extra-marital affairs. Benjamin Lee of The Guardian finds the film “messy and flawed yet painfully familiar,” and TheWrap’s Dan Callahan claims it’s a “rare thing: a serious romantic comedy with farcical elements that never puts a foot wrong.” The film opens in limited release this Friday.
