CULTURE & REVIEWS

The Scene

Nightlife, culture, and what’s worth your evening. Reviews and recommendations across screen, sound, and live performance — for the second drink, not the first.

SCREEN — FILM & TELEVISION

Notting Hill

Warmer and sadder than you remember. The kind of film that rewards a second watch once you stop…
Marriage Story

Funnier than its reputation, harder than its first half, and kinder than it has any right to be.
Drive My Car

Three hours, and every one of them earns the next.

SOUND — ALBUMS & ARTISTS

Blue

One of the records worth owning rather than streaming. It sounds different when you can’t skip anything.
Rumours

Not the album you think it is — better, and sadder, and worth your full attention.
Chet Baker Sings

The voice that made vulnerability sound like the most elegant thing in the room.
