We need to question that discomfort and process the ideas and emotions the film is conveying, instead of dismissing what we don’t understand with a laugh.

Expectations for “Fifty Shades Freed” were pretty low after the train wrecks that were the previous two installments. Yet the film still managed to disappoint.

“Il Ritorno” straddled the classical and modern to find beauty in the unnatural, conveying a powerful, emotional message that is especially resonant today.

Of note is 12-year-old Maupin as Mary, showcasing her transformation from an indignant kid to a compassionate young woman cultivating her garden.

“This Wide Night” explores the humanity behind 2 female ex-convicts, offering a tender and intimate portrayal of their evolving relationship.

Sure, the holidays are filled with family celebrations, window-shopping and endless caroling. But the season also comes with stress.

Religion, sexuality and the magnitude of fame he’s reached are prominent subjects threaded through various songs in Smith’s new album.

Quite fittingly, the Monday night series seemed casual and inviting, with actors running upstage from the audience, script in hand, to start the next 10-minute play.

The art exhibited for “This Is Our Pussy” was so diverse, yet unified in style and color using risograph printing, which limits the number of colors used and how they’re able to be mixed.

Its set was rooted in older hits “Breakeven” and “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved,” eliciting an explosive response from the crowd.
