Best & Worst Films at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival
and Keith Kimbell, Metacritic Film Editor – April 30, 2017
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.
Director Sandy Chronopoulos chronicles fashion designer Zac Posen’s rise and fall in what John DeFore of THR describes as an “enjoyable doc overflowing with stunning pieces of clothing, both on models and on its star.” Variety’s Nick Schager finds the documentary “somewhat unevenly weighted,” but believes “Posen proves an engaging vehicle for a look at art-world pitfalls.”
