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.
Nick Broomfield (Tales of the Grim Sleeper) and Rudi Dolezal’s documentary on Whitney Houston frames this chronicle of her tragic life around never-before-seen footage of her 1999 world tour. THR’s Stephen Dalton finds it “heavy on glib generalizations but light on sharp insights or juicy revelations,” but Owen Gleiberman of Variety believes the “incredibly compellingly” told story has a “haunting effect.”
