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 Sinner is a new anthology series set to debut on the USA Network this summer. Its first season is a crime thriller (based on the hit German novel by Petra Hammesfahr) about a young mother (Jessica Biel) who commits a startling act of violence, and the investigator (and Bill Pullman) who works with her to figure out why she did it. Tribeca audiences got to see the Antonio Campos- (Christine) directed premiere, and reviewers found it intriguing, even as they were uncertain how the remainder of the season would play out.
