When They See Us Review: A Magnum Opus of a Broken America

It’s easy to get infuriated by the story of the Central Park Five if you know the basic outline of the story. But what gets missed in that broad outline is the personal cost. You can see that outline in the 2012 documentaryThe Central Park Five. But writer/directorAva DuVernayisn’t just interested in what happened. In her powerful and astonishing four-part miniseriesWhen They See Us, DuVernay expands the focus of the story beyond just the obvious racism and systemic injustice to show the emotional toll that injustice took onAntron McCray,Kevin Richardson,Yusef Salaam,Raymond Santana, andKorey Wiseand their families....

Yes, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Still Sucks

Released a year ago today,Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalkerwas endlessly hyped in the pre-release build up. This wasn’t just the conclusion of the so-called sequel trilogy, which started with 2015’sStar Wars: The Force Awakensand continued with 2017’sStar Wars: The Last Jedi, all of the marketing materials reminded us, but was rather the spectacular finale to the entireStar Warssaga.
