It's satire month for Must-Watch Indies, which is back at FACETS starting today! I'll be introducing all three films today (and @812filmreviews will be doing a talk back after A POET), but you've got plenty of chances to watch all three through the 21st. facets.org/portfolio-categor…

June is going to be satire month at @facetschicago! You won’t want to miss these Must-Watch Indies! Tickets and dates: facets.org/portfolio-categor…

I'm legitimately bummed every time I watch a movie, head to Jonathan's website afterward, and it turns out it ISN'T a film he's written at length on. More writing from one of America's finest film critics is amazing news! x.com/oldfilmsflicker/status…

If you’re free and in Chicago, Nadav Lapid’s YES is making its local premiere at @facetschicago this weekend. At once a frenzied, scabrous satire and a furious denunciation of Israel’s modern madness β€” highly recommended, and you should see it in a theater.
Replying to @oldfilmsflicker
πŸ¦† CHICAGO PREMIERE β€” Described by Romanian auteur Radu Jude as the best film of the year, provocateur Nadav Lapid’s YES is a biting, pitch black satire that takes a blistering and unflinchingly critical look at modern Israeli society. Tickets & dates: facets.org/programs/yes/

In the guide: a Tunisian drama, a 4K restoration of Mary Harron’s debut, a charming indie comedy, a Joshua Tree-set Gen Z thriller, a queer coming-of-age drama, queer collections on the Criterion Channel, and a short animated Palestinian film. Read: oldfilmsflicker.substack.com…

It’s raining sideways, lightning and hail is expected, and the lake effect is in full force and yet these guys still haven’t cancelled probably because even if they don’t go on til 11 paying the noise fine will be cheaper than refunds
Chicago - see you tonight for a full set.

A reminder: I will be at Facets doing a Q&A with @oldfilmsflicker about A POET. Believe me: it’s a fantastic film. It’s a hilarious film. It’s a film you’ll regret you didn’t see on the big screen.
I have so rarely identified with a character more than I do with the hapless writer at the center of SimΓ³n Mesa Soto's hilarious dark comedy A POET. Find out why on June 13 at @facetschicago where I'll be doing a Q&A with @oldfilmsflicker. Tickets: facets.org/programs/a-poet/

This is disappointing. It’s dangerous for people to be out in this weatherβ€” especially right by the lake where the wind is at its most intense! @jimmyeatworld what are you doing!!??
Jimmy Eat World fans: We are continuing to track the storms forecasted to move through our area this evening. At this time, gates are still scheduled to open at 5:30pm. Please continue to monitor our social media pages for updates. You can also text "JIMMY26" to (312) 847-2499.

Mumford and Sons at Wrigley also not canceling despite severe weather warnings. Not surprised @LiveNation is likely behind both of these terrible decisions.

For @ebertvoices's 20 Best Films of 2026 So Far, I wrote about Cherien Dabis’ masterful generation-spanning epic ALL THAT'S LEFT OF YOU* Read: rogerebert.com/features/the-… *I had this in my top ten of 2025, but it's one of those split release years movies.
