charging people 3x for a long movie is criminal. when La Flor played TIFF over three nights, it was free, presumably because they knew almost no one would give up all that time otherwise

I guess David Edelstein kept his job at New York. That's good, but I didn't much like his Top 10 this year:

Fahrenheit 11/9 is just a bad film, and the other four I've seen (Eighth Grade, First Reformed, Won't You Be My Neighbor?, and Sorry to Bother You) I either found a little overrated or, with the last, admirably ambitious but perplexing.

A dissenting opinion, however:
You folks hating on VICE so much vitriol and rage right now: **No one improperly eats a slice of pizza in it.** Please keep that in mind when you call it the "worst movie of the year."— David Fear (@davidlfear) December 17, 2018
