GLASS ONION rips. Funny, brisk, compelling. It's so nice to see a filmmaker obsessed with details, obsessed with craft, who isn't afraid to tackle the world as it is. The audience at the midnight screening rocked. Go see it in a theater while it's out. Hats off

62 years ago today, 6-year-old #RubyBridges integrated William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Many, including white moderates, believed that she was “out of order.”
Thank you to Ruby Bridges and her family for being “out of order.”
