by Ryan Adams on August 19, 2010
Scott Foundas steps forward with a hugely enthusiastic review for The Social Network in Film Comment. This is very rich material for a movie on such timeless subjects as power and privilege, and such intrinsically 21st-century ones as the migration of society itself from the real to the virtual sphere—and David Fincher’s The Social Network [...]

The Master and Beasts of the Southern Wild Lead Chicago Film Critics Nominations

December 14, 2012
The Chicago film critics have an uncanny knack for having the Best Picture winner in their nominees. They picked Crash for the win in 2005, and The Departed for the win in 2006, even when people thought other films might win. But when they don’t pick the winner, they nominate the winner, going all the […]
