From watching a massive boat sink into the ocean to a dogfight between two airplanes, “Dunkirk”’s action sequences are stunning yet haunting.

For the last five years, Del Rey has pretty much done what she wants when she wants and that has yet to fail her — Lust for Life is a worthy addition to her stacked catalogue.
In exquisite prose, Melamed shows us the dark colors of these serrated boundaries, and how people bleed when they push against them.
HBO

“An art fair isn’t intimidating. You’re actually talking to an artist, there are other activities, there’s food… it’s like a big party,” she said. “To get the actual work done, I spend so much time just isolated.

Now that the intensive touring is done, though, Ehrlich and Kakacek, the primary songwriters, can begin focusing once again on new material.

The plot structure is both formulaic and predictable, with battles, comic relief and help from supporting characters appearing like clockwork.

The stories are shaved to the bone and razor-sharp.
Sony Pictures Classics

Artists roam the fields besides their adoring fans, hoping to go unnoticed because heck, Jeff Rosenstock wants to see Angel Olsen’s soulful, sad performance as much as his average fan.
Merge Records
The entire story is accompanied by the excellent songwriting that has graced every Waxahatchee album to date. The tracks feature lyrics that rarely repeat and often do not rhyme, placed up against clean cut melodies for structure.
Amazon Studios
The sheer dynamism of Nanjiani’s lead performance is convincing enough to see “The Big Sick.” Hysterically deadpan in one moment, adorably romantic the next, Nanjiani makes for a confident and admirable romantic lead.
