“While Mr. Goldstein is not a newcomer to stand-up, the reasons why “The Second Best Night of Your Life” works or not -- and it often does -- have less to do with the material than with Mr. Goldstein’s lack of a well-defined stage persona.” –

““Disaster Is My Muse” differs from other American Masters programs by having a subject who is alive, well, loves his wife, Françoise (who appears frequently and to great effect).” –

“The compositions and palette are occasionally stunning (the cinematographer is Scott Siracusano), and while the story lacks a certain momentum, the intention, quite successful, is to keep a viewer curious.” –

Chaos: The Manson Murders (2025)

“There are many more questions in “CHAOS” than hard answers, but one thing is clear, namely the hypnotic quality of Mr. Morris’s filmmaking, enhanced to no small end by the dread in Paul Leonard-Morgan’s score.” –

Eric Clapton Unplugged…Over 30 Years Later (2025)
“There’s no getting around the fact that “Tears” is a maudlin song and that, devoid of novelty, “Over 30 Years Later” feels fairly routine. ” –

“Yes, there’s a sermon of sorts at the center of A Different Man. But the message arrives post-movie, thanks to a narrative that is consistently compelling in its novelty, and twin performances that really do get under the skin.” –
