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.
Zoey Deutch earned unanimous praise for her performance as a sexually promiscuous teenager in this edgy comedy from director Max Winkler (Ceremony), but the movie as a whole split critics. TheWrap’s Dan Callahan calls it a “crass and disgustingly amoral ... mess of a movie that plays as if it were pitched as Juno meets To Catch a Predator." But in his "B+" review for The Playlist, Rodrigo Perez writes, “Flower is an earnest coming-of-age pic mixing cheeky sass with full-bodied teenage angst and beaming vitality. And it’s also an untamed dark comedy that veers off to unexpected places that reveal disturbing edges.”
