The two film festivals that've been happily devouring all of my time for the past few weeks have just come to their respective closes -- I've now seen all I'm gonna see from the 2020 editions of the New York Film Festival and the Nightstream Fest (which is what this year's Brooklyn Horror Fest morphed into thanks to the pandemic) and written all I am probably going to write from them as well. I've got this year's NewFest starting tomorrow, after all! So before that takes over, let's look back, with quick easy links to all of my reviews in case you missed them.

----------------------------
If you want my quick thoughts on any of those titles that I didn't review ask here in the comments and I'll share some! I'm especially annoyed that I didn't get the chance to write about Nomadland and Days and I Carry You With Me (all stunning) out of NYFF, and Dinner in America from Nightstream which was great fun, and which deservedly won the Audience Award.
Uhh Kyle Gallner in DINNER IN AMERICA made me feel some stuff, you guys... pic.twitter.com/txaR45bV1A

Did I dream this or did Kyle Gallner once played a teen prostitute opposite Evan Peters who was also a teen (transgender maybe?) prostitute with liek Tom Arnold and that girl from Community?
Is that the old ('30s or '40s) French film Zero for Conduct? I saw that a very long time ago, only have a few vague memories of images like the pillow fight sequence.
Maria -- I had never heard of it but IMDb tells me you're speaking of Gardens of the Night from 2008
Anon -- Yes, the Jean Vigo film from 1933; it got a beautiful new restoration that NYFF screened. I'd never seen it. It was terrific. All the gay storyline stuff shocked me; way ahead of its time.
