Review: Francis Ford Coppola's 'Twixt'

Until the news broke in 2021 that Francis Ford Coppola would sell his wineries in order to self-fund Megalopolis (due in theaters this very month!), it seemed that his 2011 film Twixt may be his final picture. I didn’t see any of the 21st century Coppolas until embarking on this project— in the late aughts and early 2010s, I was enough of an expert on the cinema and its practitioners to know without viewing them that they were not good.

Most recently, I watched the 2022 recut of the Twixt called B’Twixt Now and Sunrise (now streaming on Amazon Prime) and learned that, despite my youthful pretensions, it is actually quite good.
