"After many months traveling the globe, some of the year's best movies will touch down in New York City at last. The 63rd New York Film Festival kicks off on Friday, September 26 with a line-up full of this year's festival favorites and some new surprises. If you didn't make it to Utah for Sundance, now's your time to see Mary Bronstein's immensely stressful If I Had Legs I'd Kick You or Ira Sachs's very much not stressful Peter Hujar's Day."
"It stars Julia Roberts as a successful ivory-tower professor who ends up embroiled in a tense standoff of morals, ethics, and generational frustration when a colleague (Andrew Garfield) is accused of improper conduct with a student (Ayo Edebiri). The reviews out of Venice, where it premiered, were mixed, and press interactions with the cast were fraught with a kind of tone-deafness so aligned with the movie itself you might assume they were a stunt."
