Super Soundtrack: “Pen15” on Hulu [Season 2, Part 2]

On paper, this show should not work at all. 30-somethings Anna Konkle and Maya Erskine play fictionalized younger, teenage versions of themselves as characters named, get this, Anna and Maya. Nonetheless, here we are sad that the final batch of episodes have just been released.

Film Review: ‘C’mon C’mon’ (dir. Mike Mills)

C’MON C’MON looks to the future in this genuinely heartfelt story that is visually stunning and makes even the most mundane emotions and parts of life seem universally felt. This character feels the closest to Joaquin Phoenix and is such a 180 from his role as the Joker. Woody Norman offers such an honest, realistic child perspective unlike any kid actor I’ve ever seen.

The Humans offers a fly-on-the-wall experience of this family’s flailing Thanksgiving dinner. This ensemble cast bounces off one another so well. There are two conflicting themes here that create a really unique tonal tension. Lean into its many quirks, and that’s when it works.

Film Review: ‘Jagged’ (dir. Alison Klayman) | TIFF 2021

Alanis Morissette is one of those unicorn artists. Her influence is evident in endless artists working today, but there’s truly nobody like her. By refusing to follow any of the rules of stardom, she quite literally carved her own way.

Film Review: ‘Listening to Kenny G’ (dir. Penny Lane) | TIFF 2021

You know Kenny G for his one-in-a-trillion musical talent, but do you really know the artist playing the saxophone and the man behind those records? His 40-year career should have given us enough time to learn about him, but apparently not.
