The Tribeca Film Festival this year has been…weird. Naturally, certain changes were inevitable thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the festival’s scrambled response resulted in an unusual system where only major, triple-A publications were given access to their complete screener library. Everyone else had to make due with a severely truncated selection. Even worse, the films initially offered didn’t always remain available—some distributors got cold feet at the last minute and pulled their films from the festival after they’d been provided to critics. More than one writer found themselves tearing their hair out after learning they wouldn’t be allowed to post reviews they’d written because the films had been officially withdrawn. But still, the festival plowed on. So we have here now presented in alphabetical order ten of the films showing at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival.

I love this review!!!! I want Flicker to get a second life so bad 😭😭 he deserves more people to hear it theyoungfolks*com/review/113231/album-review-niall-horan-flicker/

aww, this was a nice review!! i’m always interested to hear what other former 1d fans have to say cuz they’ve got such a different perspective than people coming to the boys with no knowledge of them whatsoever, or with some preconceived notion of who they were in a stereotyped boyband. i agree that there are some lulls on the album, but so much of that can be resolved by changing up the track order - i’ll nEVER not be bitter that the songs are ordered that way lmao. anyhow, i don’t think the album’s gone by any means! i mean, it’s definitely out of that just-released rush of reviews and reactions and stuff, but he’s going to be shopping it out on tour for all of next year, and he’s really good at sustaining promo and therefore sales (both this town and slow hands have had reeaaallly great longevity) so i wouldn’t worry too much!! besides, at the end of the day, we got an album full of great tunes, two tours, and at that rate...certainly more albums to come!

There’s something deeply, fundamentally perverse about filming a Jack London story with CGI animals—it’s akin to shooting a film version of James Joyce’s Ulysses on location…in Belfast. Everything that the novel stood for—the ego destruction of modernist man in the face of antediluvian wilderness, the rediscovery of all that is untamed and untrammeled in our basest instincts—seems violated by the decision to forgo training and working with real flesh-and-blood animals. Equally obscene was the decision to shoot the film on sound stages in sunny California thousands of miles from the Yukon wilds rhapsodized by London. How seriously can we take a film about rediscovering the wonder and necessity of nature if we remove all the actual nature from said film?

This might seem like nitpicking, but it speaks to the major disconnection at the heart of Chris Sanders’ The Call of the Wild—it’s a film of incessant, baffling compromise, not just with its use of CGI effects but in how it approaches its material. Though cherished as one of the great American adventure novels—particularly among younger readers—London’s story of Buck, a spoiled St. Bernard mix that gets kidnapped from the American South, sold into a life of servitude as an Alaskan sled dog, and reborn as a member of a wolf pack is equal parts thrilling and brutish, redolent of the harsh cruelty of nature and the more monstrous side of humanity. London’s novel is full of graphic animal abuse, none more painful to read than when Buck gets taught the “law of the club” by the “man in the red sweater” when first kidnapped. Later we read as Buck’s fellow sled dogs get starved, mistreated, overworked, and shot by arrogant masters. The humans themselves fare little better—many either drown or get murdered by Native Americans.

Writing this piece, I can’t help but think back on my own family and our history of union involvement. My great-grandfather was a railroadman and my grandfather a newspaper proofreader; both of them were union men. My mother too worked in a union, a member of the teachers and administrators’ association in the school district where my sister and I grew up. I think of these people: one I still talk to, one existing only in my memories, and one nothing but a shadow in other peoples’ stories. I think of these people and a fire burns in my belly as I type these words and reflect on Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar’s extraordinary new documentary American Factory, which premiered on Netflix on August 21. For many, the traditional wisdom is for film critics to err on the side of objectivity, to strain to remove one’s emotions and subjective experiences from how we engage and evaluate movies. And to an extent, they are correct. To an extent. But occasionally the barriers we make between ourselves and art prove pointless and self-defeating. This anger in my veins tells me this is one such time.

American Factory follows the reopening of a shuttered General Motors factory in Dayton, Ohio after being bought out by Chinese glass manufacturer Fuyao in 2014 as part of a wave of Chinese investment in American industry. At first, the community receives the new company—christened Fuyao Glass America and staffed largely with American administrators—with open arms. 2000 families went unemployed when GM left, and the new factory seems like the godsend to keep their humble suburb from deteriorating into another Rust Belt graveyard. What’s more, hundreds of native Chinese Fuyao workers immigrate to Dayton to help with the transition. These too are received with simple working class magnanimity. Early sequences see American laborers teaching the immigrants how to fish for carp in a local river (“You gotta use Chex cereal. C-h-e-x. The fish sure love Chex.”). One local even invites a dozen or so over to his house for Thanksgiving where he invites them to sample American food, ride his Harley Davidson, and most popularly, try out his gun collection.

But this sunny optimism dims as things slowly stop adding up. During an orientation, a worker asks a Fuyao representative if the jobs have unions. The representative snaps back no, saying they “don’t want to be.” Fair enough. But then safety standards start getting loosened, then outright ignored. Workers are made to work for fifteen minutes shifts every hour in 200° rooms. Equipment protocols are disregarded, leaving veteran workers from the GM factory thunderstruck by Fuyao’s carelessness. Indeed, employees start ending up in the hospital with split limbs and debilitating illnesses. Most outrageously, many are summarily fired while still recovering. These safety violations aren’t the results of penny-pinching, corner-cutting middle management, but from orders straight from the top. One telling scene involves Cao Dewang, the Chinese billionaire who invested $500 million in the Dayton factory, demanding that the smoke detectors and fire alarms be removed from his offices because they aren’t visually pleasing. When told they’re required by American law, he asks why can’t they be moved down to floor level so nobody can see them, either ignorant or unconcerned that smoke rises.
