"Genius is a word that’s thrown around a lot, but I think whatever it means, if Elaine May is not a brilliant improviser, nobody is. If Elaine May is not a brilliant actress, nobody is. If she’s not a brilliant writer, nobody is. If she’s not a brilliant director, nobody is." - Kenneth Lonergan

As a victim of career murder, Elaine May will never get her due, except in belated recognition.

In I’m All Right Jack, no sacred cow is safe, writes @charlielargent.bsky.social of CineSavant in a review of the picture’s new @kinolorber.com Blu-ray. Cheerfully fatalistic, I’m All Right Jack takes aim at management, labor, and everything in-between. trailersfromhell.com/im-all-right...
