The Billy Joel movie premiere was sad, sweet and yet incomplete

NEW YORK — A documentary about the life and career of Billy Joel, premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival at the legendary Beacon Theatre — it's hard to get more New York than that. Yet what was long planned as a night of career celebration took on unexpected poignance after Joel, 76, revealed two weeks ago that he has been diagnosed with a brain disorder — and canceled all of his concerts scheduled over the next 13 months. He also had to miss the opening night of the festival, which kicked off its 24th year Wednesday with a screening of Part 1 of 'Billy Joel: And So It Goes,' a sprawling film airing on HBO in July. Festival co-founders Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal made a brief appearance praising the singer-songwriter for five decades of capturing the rhythm and spirit of the city. De Niro dubbed the Long Island native as the 'poet laureate of New York.' 'Billy wanted to be with us tonight. But as you may have heard, he is dealing with a health issue and had to postpone his performances, including this one tonight. We know you join us in wishing him a speedy recovery,' Rosenthal said. A few moments later, directors Susan Lacy and Jessica Levin read a message from Joel that he wanted to convey to the audience in his classic wry manner: 'Getting old sucks, but it's still preferable to getting cremated.' 'He will be back,' Lacy said, to loud applause from the crowd. In an increasingly fractured culture, Joel's music and lyrics unite the generations, the filmmakers said, with a relatability that made him one of the top-selling musical acts in history. Just ask his ex-wife. 'Bill can take a kernel of something that happened and create a story that is universal, and he would get to the DNA of the human experience,' Elizabeth Weber, who was also the star's manager back in the day, says in the film. Nearly 55 years after his debut album, Joel was still filling stadiums — before the tour cancellation, he was scheduled to play another 17 shows in the United States and Britain, alongside a rotating crew of partner acts: Rod Stewart, Stevie Nicks and Sting. And for a decade, fans packed his monthly concerts at Madison Square Garden, until the unique residency ended this past summer. He never had to change up the act much. The familiarity of the repertoire — 'Piano Man,' 'New York State of Mind,' 'Uptown Girl' — was the big draw for attendees who hollered along to every word. 'There's a handful of folks that can both play and compose and write the lyrics to these songs that, I'm sorry, as soon as you hear a couple of phrases, you're singing the whole damn thing,' Tom Hanks, one of the executive producers of the documentary, told the AP at the screening. The rigorous tour schedule took its toll. Joel's recent diagnosis, normal pressure hydrocephalus, was 'exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision and balance,' his team said in a statement. During his last show in February, he took a startling fall. Joel is a more complicated celebrity than fans might expect from his songbook of karaoke staples. Levin told the audience that when she met him, she proudly told him how much she loved his lesser-known 'Streetlife Serenade' record from 1974, confident that he would clock her as a true fan. Instead, he said, 'That's probably my least favorite album.' 'His response was my first clue that there was a lot more to Billy Joel,' Levin said. Lacy, who said she had a 'cursory knowledge' of him before the film, found Joel to be a complex and layered figure. Part 1 — which ran about 2½ hours, with interviews with Joel's family, friends, band members and fellow stars, including Bruce Springsteen and Garth Brooks — chronicles his struggle to break through as a solo artist, his move to California and then back to his beloved New York. When he experienced life-changing fame with the 1977 smash album 'The Stranger,' he found himself mocked for being too popular, an uncool 'balladeer' in an era of anti-authoritarian punk rock. The criticism stung Joel, who saw himself as a scrappy kid from Hicksville, Long Island, scratching his way out of a tough childhood. He always felt like he was struggling, he says in the film, even while enjoying astonishing success. 'I learned life is a fight,' he says. The Beacon audience cheered every New York reference in the documentary — such as the introductions of Joel's Long Island-bred backup musicians — as well as moments when the hometown hero triumphed over the music-label suits. Like the time he declined to work with a Beatles producer because it would have meant replacing his band. Or when then-manager Weber insisted that unenthused record executives release 'Just the Way You Are' as a single. It went on to win record and song of the year at the 1979 Grammy Awards. Joel famously endured some dark moments — depression, rehab, divorce — and his loved ones describe them unflinchingly. While in the late-1960s duo Attila with his close friend Jon Small, Joel had an affair with the drummer's wife. That was Weber. When the love triangle self-destructed, the piano player was so consumed by guilt and heartbreak that he tried to end his life. After a stint in a psychiatric facility, he recovered by channeling his emotion into songs — and reconnected with Weber, who helped guide him to superstardom. Small, who has moved past the affair debacle, joins their mutual ex-wife as one of the primary talking heads interviewed in the film. Part 1 ends with Weber and Joel's own explosive breakup in the early 1980s, after he started drinking heavily and using drugs to cope with the pressures of fame. But Joel has always been candid about his mistakes and trying to learn from them — another reason fans have remained so devoted for so long, and why it's difficult to imagine him out of the spotlight. The film opens with Joel talking about his early days working on an oyster boat, when he would gaze with envy at an enormous beachfront mansion. Years later, he bought that very house, though it was still undergoing construction. 'It's not finished yet,' Joel said. 'But neither am I.'

These 6 Netflix Treats Are Worth Watching In June

If you pay any attention to the film world, you'll know that the last few weeks have been dominated by one thing and one thing only: the Cannes Film Festival. While news of upcoming movies had us thoroughly excited for the next year of cinema (a period romance starring Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor, anyone?), the headlines were mostly defined by buzzy red carpet moments. From Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence giving us the millennial fandom moment of dreams to Emma Stone being attacked by a bee and consequently being saved by Austin Butler and Pedro Pascal, there was plenty to keep up with. Other standout moments included Denzel Washington being surprised with an honorary Palme d'Or by his longtime friend Spike Lee and Charli XCX sitting in the audience at Harris Dickinson 's directorial debut premiere. But while we wait in anticipation for the movies to make their way to the big screens, we're keeping our eyes on our small screens this June. After the success of Four Seasons and dreamy teen romance Forever last month, we're now focusing on thrillers and action for the month ahead. To take a look at all the best titles coming to Netflix this June, read on. Our Netflix Star: Ginny and Georgia Season 3 Ginny and Georgia is made for those of us who want the familial, loving comfort of Gilmore Girls with a little bit of spice. Picking up right after Georgia's disastrous wedding (spoiler alert), the mother of two must now face the music after being arrested for the mercy killing of frenemy Cynthia's terminally ill husband, Tom. After her years of manic moves and name-changes to cover up her life of crimes, the whole town now knows Georgia isn't the innocent woman she pretended to be. Wrapped up in Georgia's web of lies, Ginny has to make one of two choices: support her mom through thick and thin or cut ties and try to make it on her own. Straw If you're searching for a movie stacked with talented women, look no further than Taraji P. Henson starring alongside Sherri Shepherd and Teyana Taylor in Tyler Perry's latest thriller. Telling the story of a single mother strapped for cash, Janiyah (Henson) is forced to make a life-changing decision after a series of incidents leave her without enough money to buy her daughter's medicine. Trying to be the best parent she can, she decides to hold up a bank to try to get the cash she needs, leading to a hostage situation that grips the local community. Trainwreck: The Astroworld Legacy The latest installment of Netflix's Trainwreck documentary series investigates the fateful Travis Scott festival in 2021, where 10 fans tragically lost their lives. Featuring survivors, medical staff and members of the security team, the documentary pieces together the events that led up to the tragedy in Texas, examining how the fatal crowd crush occurred and the lasting effects it has had on the audience members and workers in attendance. Fubar Season 2 Craving a chaotic father-daughter action-comedy? Then look no further than Fubar. Returning for its second season, the series picks up as long-time CIA operative Luke Brunner (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is dealing with the aftermath of finding out his daughter (Monica Barbaro) is also secretly a member of the CIA. As they're tasked with linking up to fight crime as a (somewhat) dynamic duo, things begin to unravel when an old flame enters the scene and threatens to throw Luke off course. The Waterfront For fans of a true story, this new drama is set to be right up your street. Taking place in the fictional North Carolina town of Havenport, the series follows a flawed family as they fight to keep control of their quickly collapsing fishing empire. Used to having a big reputation in town, the Buckley family is forced to keep their business afloat in increasingly desperate ways. Starring Maria Bello (Coyote Ugly), Melissa Benoist (Glee), Holt McCallany (Ironclaw) and Jake Weary (Animal Kingdom). Squid Game Season 3 It's hard to believe that Squid Game first premiered in the middle of a global pandemic five years ago. Having the world hooked on its dystopian premise ever since, the Korean-language series returns for its third and final season this month. Following Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) as he deals with the aftermath of losing his best friend in the game, the series sees him embark on a mission to end the game for good, while the antagonist Front Man continues his craft of cruelty, making things worse for the surviving players with every passing round.

Robert De Niro makes rare comment about transgender daughter Airyn

Robert De Niro showed continued support for his transgender daughter Airyn, 29, in an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday. 'As long as they're not hurting themselves, doing anything that's destructive or anything like that, you have to support them. Period,' the actor said. 8 Robert De Niro at the opening dinner of the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival on May 13, 2025.

'I loved and supported Aaron as my son, and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter. I don't know what the big deal is,' De Niro told The Post in a statement at the time.

'I think a big part of [my transition] is also the influence Black women have had on me,' she explained. 'I think stepping into this new identity, while also being more proud of my Blackness, makes me feel closer to them in some way.'

Regarding her mom and dad, Airyn said, 'Obviously, no parent is perfect, but I am grateful that both my parents agreed to keep me out of the limelight. They wanted it very private; they have told me they wanted me to have as much of a normal childhood as possible.' 8 Airyn De Niro came out as a transgender woman in April 2025. voiceofairyn/Instagram De Niro's support for Airyn wasn't surprising considering his late father, painter Robert De Niro Sr., lived as an openly gay man after struggling with his sexuality, which reportedly caused the end of his marriage. 8 Robert De Niro at his master class during the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

De Niro also received the GLAAD's Excellence in Media Award in 2016 for his support of the LGBTQ+ community.
