Paris is Burning: 30 Years Later
Paris is Burning elevated drag and ballroom into the public consciousness and permanently impacted LGBT culture. However, the performers featured in the documentary didn't reap the rewards of their visibility.
Steve Paxton: Physical Things (2013)
In Steve Paxton’s PHYSICAL THINGS, a polyethylene air-inflated structure occupied most of the Armory floor, with a tower rising to the peak of the Armory roof. The audience walked through the structure, encountering slide projections, sounds, and performers. Emerging from the structure, they used small receivers to hear different sounds broadcast from wire loops suspended in a net overhead, thus composing their own sound experience.

"Him" - All Flash, No Game
Him is visually stunning—all concrete cathedrals and bone-rattling impact shots that look like a nightmare highlight reel. Marlon Wayans is magnetic as this legendary quarterback who's basically selling salvation with a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. But the story keeps running in circles: more tests, more cryptic pep talks, more ritualistic drills. The sports-as-religion metaphor beats you over the head when subtlety would've been more effective. The middle drags, and that finale chooses spectacle over substance. It's undeniably stylish, but left me cold. Also worth noting: despite the Monkeypaw connection, this isn't actually a Jordan Peele film—he didn't write or direct.
