It's worth seeing. The review mentions Rivette, and yeah, there's a couple of that kind of sequences, and they're great (and by far the greatest thing in it).

My totally unsupported assumption is that they are a passion project.
IFCis trying to add six more screens.

my comment about metrograph was also related to the fact that they showed like 100 movies in 3 days for opening, and they were all shown at weird times like only showing at 1 PM on a friday

idk i'd feel obligated to have the length of my devastating hot-take posts scale up to match the difference between your basic four-minute blues rock deal and your basic 90-140-minute feature film. could crash the server.
meanwhile i'm actually in knoxville for a while dealing with family stuff. but they have amazon prime and the evenings stretch long so there's some watching. unfortunately all i have watched straight through is lol 'noah' but i have been trying to keep at 'thief of baghdad' and i started 'the blue angel' the other night but i kinda wasn't in the zone for it.

in case you missed it:
The Film Society of Lincoln Center‘s announced that Nicolas Rapold is new editor of Film Comment, following the departure of Gavin Smith. And Michael Koresky will take on a newly created position, editorial director of the FSLC. He’ll “oversee planning, strategy, and development of all editorial content for the organization as well as for Film Comment and its platforms.” Rapold‘s posted word that he, FC managing editor Laura Kern and digital editor Violet Lucca are “already hard at work on expanding and deepening our coverage, maintaining the high standards of film criticism which you’ve come to expect over the past 50-plus years, and developing new ways of sharing the fruits of our labors with you.”
