Film Review: “Citizen K“ Masterfully Profiles a Russian Oligarch’s Rise and Fall

Citizen K (Alex Gibney, 2019) 4 out of 4 stars.

His debut feature, the 1973 Badlands, remains one of my favorite films of all time, its combination of cinematic lyricism, naturalistic performances (from Sissy Spacek and Martin Sheen) and evocative music offering a […]
