We greatly admire the film writing of Manohla Dargis, first of the Village Voice, then the L.A. Weekly, then the L.A. Times and now the New York Times. Her reviews and reporting from important film festivals like Sundance are required reading in our little corner of the film industry. She posted this yesterday and as always it’s exciting to hear what we have to look forward to, including Boyhood, We Come as Friends and Land Ho! The latter, Ms. Dargis writes, features “the breakout star of this year’s festival,” Earl Lynn Nelson, which is refreshing because the actor is neither a comely ingenue nor a chiseled hunk but rather an elderly man.
