Review: Borat is back, and this time he fits right in
Since Sacha Baron Cohen first appeared as his Kazakh journalist on “Da Ali G Show,” Borat Sagdiyev has been remarkably consistent. The accent is the same. The gray suit is still rumpled. “Nahce” and “Mah Wahfe” regularly exude from him with a mangled melody. Borat...

“I'm illegal,” says Rosario “Rose” Garcia (Eva Noblezada), a Filipina living undocumented in Texas, in Diane Paragas' “Yellow Rose.” The way she says it is meant, as it is, to sound ridiculous. Here is a bright, headstrong young woman, dressed in jeans and a cowboy hat....

The distance for Adam Sandler from last year's frantic, high-wire act “Uncut Gems” to his new Netflix comedy, “Hubie Halloween," is great, but maybe not as vast as it sounds. Both feature Sandler playing someone who romanticizes something out of proportion (a high-priced gem in “Uncut...
Radha Blank of 'The Forty-Year-Old Version' isn't late
If Radha Blank had a tagline for her film, “The Forty-Year-Old Version,” it would be: “You don't age out of your passion.” Blank wrote, directed and stars in her debut film, a heavily autobiographical tale, shot in black-and-white and on 35mm, about a middle-aged playwright in Harlem...
