The original French title of Belgian director Joachim Lafosse’s latest domestic drama is L’economie du couple, which translates (awkwardly) as “The Economy of the Couple.” It’s understandable that a U.S. distributor would opt instead for the rather nondescript and bland After Love — who the hell wants to see a…
They’re called “styled shoots,” and you’ve probably seen one without realizing it. Here’s a look at this common but surreal wedding industry trend.
Hint: not everything.
From “Chaos Theory” to a survey of contemporary Brazilian art.
So many things to do, so little time.
Just because we want our heroes to be woke doesn’t mean that they actually are, or will ever be.
We talked with the Phoenix podcasters.
It’s September and TV is back so praise the lord and pass the Postmates app, because I’m not trying to leave my apartment unless it’s to protest Donald Trump. It’s just TV, protest Trump and repeat. Happy fall! Sept. 5, FX, American Horror Story: Cult This season of Ryan Murphy’s…
Get your geek on.
This year’s Phoenix Fan Fest has its first crop of special guests — and they should be familiar names to fans of popular Cartoon Network animated show Steven Universe. Fan Fest’s organizers have revealed that Zach Callison, AJ Michalka, and Grace Rolek are scheduled to appear at this year’s edition…

Keep calm, plan on.
Quirky musicals are, as the young people like to say, “trending” this year.
Circle the date September 1 on your calendar, because that’s when you can see more than a dozen fresh art shows in and around downtown Phoenix.

Here’s what you didn’t see if you aren’t from there. Here are the voices you didn’t hear if you didn’t go there. Here’s the pain you can’t fully comprehend if you’re white, as I am, if you’re just watching on TV, if life has taught you that just saying sir…
Here’s a shocker: What might’ve seemed an ill-advised sequel to a surprisingly not-bad little hockey comedy is … surprisingly not bad! In fact, in some ways Goon: Last of the Enforcers actually manages to improve upon its forebear, connecting on jabs at a rate roughly equal to that of the…
In one sense, Steven Spielberg’s 1977 UFO bliss-out, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, is reprehensible. It is, after all, the story of a daydreamer dad (Richard Dreyfuss) who leaves his family for worlds unknown as he continually trades in one slender, luminous life companion for another: Teri Garr for…
Twin Peaks: The Return airs Sundays on Showtime. Live long enough, and people may surprise you. The biggest pricks you grew up with — the bullies or blowhards or preening kings of the high school — grow up, too. Sometimes they even turn out all right. Sometimes they’re even stung,…
On a crowded Brooklyn street, an Orthodox Jew adjusts his yarmulke, a tefillin bag under his arm. He speaks on a smartphone and practically struts. The man, as dandified as one can look in a black suit and a white shirt, is a red herring in Menashe. Several other Brooklynites,…
“Letting go has never been easy, but sometimes it’s the better way.”
