Blue Moon (2025; Dir.: Richard Linklater)
GRADE: B-
*Now playing at the Tower Theatre in Sacramento.

IMDB Synopsis: “Tells the story of Lorenz Hart’s struggles with alcoholism and mental health as he tries to save face during the opening of Oklahoma!”

It Was Just an Accident (2025; Dir.: Jafar Panahi)
GRADE: B+
*Now playing at the Tower Theatre in Sacramento.

IMDB Synopsis: “A small mishap triggers a chain reaction of ever-growing problems.”

In this questionably special mini-episode, disgraced/graced film critic Daniel Barnes reviews two new releases opening today, Oct. 24.

Blue Moon is a mostly one-set look at a particularly fraught night in the late life of songwriter Lorenz Hart (Ethan Hawke). Meanwhile, the Palme d’Or winner It Was Just an Accident looks at the incompatibility of revenge and moral certainty in modern-day Iran.

Listen along as Daniel talks to himself about singular sensations, Dorf-like trickery, and the scarcity of bears in the filmography of Jafar Panahi.
