Expanded afternoon edition — September 20, 2026.
The History of Concrete opened September 18 at IFC Center. Wilson takes a class about selling a Hallmark movie, then tries applying the lessons to a documentary about concrete. The premise alone suggests an enjoyable misunderstanding. 101 minutes. Film and current showtimes
Peter Martin finds it funny and warm; Matt Oakes likes the film but thinks some digressions stretch thinner at feature length than in Wilson’s television episodes. That is an intelligible disagreement about a filmmaker whose best discovery may arrive several turns away from his original subject. ScreenAnarchy review, Silver Screen Riot review
Ordinary screenings are listed this evening and through the week; selectable seats and prices remain unverified. Go for the possibility that the city will look slightly less familiar on the walk home.
