Pick 3: Justin Chang’s Downer Movies for the Holiday Season

Sobre este episodio

<p>If “Wicked, Part I” and “Gladiator II” are not getting you into the theatre this weekend, Justin Chang, <i>The New Yorker’s</i> film critic, offers three other films coming out this holiday season which are “among the most thrilling that I've seen this year.” He recommends “Nickel Boys,” based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Colson Whitehead and directed by RaMell Ross; “The Brutalist,” starring Adrian Brody; and “Hard Truths,” directed by Mike Leigh. These are heavy subjects—not traditional holiday fare—but “I returned to the words of Roger Ebert,” Chang tells David Remnick. “No good movie is depressing. All bad movies are depressing.” </p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
