Consider that Rachel’s husband, Toby Fleishman’s, journey into sole parenting, the result of his wife disappearing,...

Crafted with a tender but unflinching touch by Polley—also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay—the film is a faithful, courageous re-telling of Miriam Toews’ 2018 book of the same name. Based on the true story of a Mennonite colony in Bolivia, Women Talking follows eight main characters portrayed by Rooney Mara,...

Spoilers ahead for season 3 of Outer Banks.Upon its release in 2020, Outer Banks had the benefit of a bored audience—the first days of the pandemic beget undivided screen time—and alluring imagery to sell: Charismatic teens in crop tops and denim, framed in the halo of sun and sand, is rarely a failed formula.
