"This film actually frightens me, and that’s saying something for a documentary made some thirty years ago. The Maysles brothers and their team crafted a glimpse into the dark and dysfunctional world of the American family and a failing American dream."

"This extravagantly inventive, linguistically daring work skewers two different American cultures. Johnson, who is African-American, conjures the voice of a naïve young white student who arrives at the University of California, Berkeley, from the deepest of the Deep South."

Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) shared own list

Nov 27, 2017
Music was full of fury, confusion and resistance in our first post-election year. Albums came with titles like American Dream (LCD Soundsystem), American Teen (Khalid) and All American Made (Margo Price).

But music in 2017 was also about a more slippery sense of self, as genre lines fall away and artists searched for identity and purpose in weird times.



So here's the best of a tumultuous year:

"Meyer’s first book, American Rust, was a literary page-turner. His second, The Son, is an American epic. I read an advance copy and came away staggered by its power and depth. I haven’t read anything this good in a long, long time."
