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.
After a critical drubbing for the wartime drama Man Down, writer-director Dito Montiel premiered this romantic-comedy to equally withering reviews. Ed Helms plays a paid studio audience seat-filler who sudden fame threatens his burgeoning romance with Amanda Seyfried. Rodrigo Perez of The Playlist calls the film “bafflingly witless. ... Artless and clueless at every turn,” and Variety’s Peter Debruge claims it’s a “shockingly lame satire about the vagaries of modern fame.”
