NYC, when I tell you this is truly the most breathtaking 35mm print I have EVER seen... (doesn’t hurt that it’s Jason Patric at his hottest either). You would be doing yourself a disservice to not go to this.

Almost a year later, we've been able to make up over half of this loss — thanks *entirely* to new subscriptions 🙏— but we still need some help to make up the rest. All it takes to support BWDR is a $29 annual subscription, and in exchange you get full access to everything we've published since 2013!

If what we do has ever meant something to you, or you’ve ever thought about subscribing, now’s the time—it *truly* makes a difference.
