Review
The disconnect between the Amsterdam of the past that is revisited and the scenes of life in the city today dramatize the fragility of memory and its erosion.
Writer-director Sean Durkin’s engrossing biopic goes a far piece toward showing the dark side of this tale of patriarchal authority and its abuse under the cover of an all-American, clean-living, unassailable family of heroes.
This book offers a deep dive — a very deep dive — into how contemporary tokens work, and the consequences of their use, both for the good and for the bad.
“Poor Things” is a film in which the set designers are as much the auteurs as the director, to the detriment of the pathos that is at the heart of Alasdair Gray’s novel.
My advice: see this show in Boston before it settles into New York for what should be a long run.
Plan to linger over every moment of this revelatory, diverse, and understated special exhibition.
As satisfying as this incomplete work is — much like Schubert’s “Unfinished Symphony” — we can still regret not being able to experience the completed work.
Missional zeal from the Fort Smith Symphony and an electrifying performance from the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.
Pianist Jeremy Denk’s artistry rests in how he explores emotional variance by leaning into the extremes.
In a world that at times seems to have turned sour and colorless, “Wonka” brings much needed sweetness and beauty, making it a perfect diversion for the holiday season.
