LIFT Film Review 2022 Tribeca Film Festival

LIFT, shot over a period of 10 years, is a riveting 87 minutes because of Director David Petersen’s consummate cinematic story telling about The New York Theatre Ballet’s LIFT scholarship program for selected children to develop untapped skills as classical dancers and pursue their dreams. The kids and their families are in constant peril because of the homelessness plaguing them in the hellholes of the worse Bronx and South Bronx neighborhoods. – By Gregg W. Morris

A Tribeca Film Festival 2022 Must See!
Film Review of Director Peter Hengl’s FAMILY DINNER {♦ LAST PUBLIC SCREENING, Wednesday, 6/15 @ 8:15 p.m. – Tribeca Film Center}

The bravura filmmaking will keep audiences on the edge of their seats 90-plus minutes, and Director-Writer Hengl accomplishes this sans the customary horror film trimmings used by many filmmakers to add zest to their zestless cinemas: Gore, zombies, demonic possessions, X-rated prurience, CGI.
