‘The Only Living Pickpocket In New York’ Review: John Turturro Steals The Show In Noah Segan’s Mesmerizing Debut – Sundance Film Festival
"I lived my life in people's pockets," sighs Harry (John Turturro), a small-town thief who belongs as much in a museum as he does on the busy streets of New York. Harry is a throwback, and so is The Only Living Pickpocket In New York, this modest but…
‘In The Blink Of An Eye’ Review: Andrew Stanton’s Dull, Centuries-Spanning Epic Is Woolly And Sentimental – Sundance Film Festival
Imagine the first two lines of Whitney Houston's mawkish hit "The Greatest Love of All" on a loop for an hour and a half and you're part way to experiencing Andrew Stanton's decades-spanning compendium movie.

‘Frank & Louis’ Review: Petra Volpe’s Terrific Prison Drama Explores Complex Issues Of Memory And Guilt – Sundance Film Festival
