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.
Writer-director Petra Volpe’s story of how a housewife from a small village inspires Switzerland's women’s suffrage movement in 1970 won the narrative Audience Award at the festival and earned lead actress Marie Leuenberger Best Actress in an International Narrative Feature Film. Variety’s Nick Schager believes it “radiates an infectious admiration for the courage shown by its heroines in the face of immense obstacles,” and Ren Jender of The Village Voice claims it’s an “unexpected delight.”
