A Micro-Review of a Movie from Monday

Like all good New Yorkers I adore Fran Lebowitz, but even I was starting to get a little exasperated with all the coverage surrounding Public Speaking, the new Martin Scorsese documentary about the talkative writer. Having actually caught the film last night I now realize I was wrong to be impatient; it’s terrific. There were many audible guffaws on my part, and I’m one of those assholes who usually just nods and says, “That’s funny.” If you’re stuck far from the city during the holiday this weekend and need a reminder of what brought you here in the first place, well, hopefully you have access to HBO On Demand. You will definitely enjoy it.
