Underrated At the Tribeca Film Festival : 'Almost Christmas'

The new film from Phil Morrison (the director of Junebug)
has not been embraced by most critics at the Tribeca Film Festival (actually, most of them hated it) but I so disagree. Almost Christmas is one of my favorites from this year's festival, a thoroughly fresh dark
comedy - more sly and absurd than laugh-out-loud - with Paul Giamatti and Paul Rudd as down-on-their-luck
Canadians who come to New York to sell Christmas trees for a month.
Tribeca Review: 'The Patience Stone' Is a Closing-Weekend Standout

As the Tribeca Film Festival heads into its final weekend, there's
still time to catch one of this year's best films: The Patience Stone, Atiq Rahimi's eloquent drama about an Afghan
woman in a war-torn village, keeping watch over her once-belligerent, now comatose
husband. The plot turns on a question that gets to the heart of the problem
facing oppressed women everywhere: left alone to care for herself and her two daughters,
how can a woman whose every move had formerly been controlled by her husband
possibly fend for herself?
'The Reluctant Fundamentalist': Mira Nair's Mirror of American-Pakistani Relations

In a Lahore cafe, the Pakistan-born, Princeton-educated hero
of Mira Nair's The Reluctant
Fundamentalist tells an American reporter about his reaction to the World
Trade Center attacks. Changez (Riz
Ahmed) was as horrified as anyone – but at first there was an instinctive
smile, simple "awe," as he puts it, at the audacity of "arrogance
brought low." The journalist, Bobby Lincoln, (Liev Schreiber) responds
with a glare of pure, restrained fury.

It’s a small relationship film with a big bold impact: witty, nuanced, beautifully acted, Your Sister’s Sister is one of the best movies so far at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Video Interview: Edward Burns On His Small-Budget Charmer, "Newlyweds"

Edward Burns’ latest film, Newlyweds, is a delightfully witty, sharply observed romance that comes with its own amazing origin story. Although you wouldn’t guess it from the film’s clear, bright look, it was shot for a pittance -- around $9,000, yes that’s thousand – in recognizable locations around Tribeca (that's the Franklin St. subway stop in the background of the photo above). Shoestring budgets don’t get stringier.
