An absolute masterwork—not only thanks to the memes—director Todd Field’s Best Picture nominee Tár, starring Cate Blanchett as the titular conductor, is one of the year’s most beguiling and well-crafted films. It’s also Field’s first since his 2006 project Little Children, and the wait was well worth the 16-year gap. Best Actress nominee Blanchett is

After releasing her global hit “Flowers,” Miley Cyrus has another single—well, a whole album, really—for us to play on repeat.

Last year, I stood side by side with thousands of women protesting the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, eliminating 50 years of precedent protecting women’s reproductive freedoms. I was surrounded by mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers who were outraged that their daughters would now have fewer rights than they did. These women

Major spoilers ahead. The fourth season of You kept us guessing thanks to its twisty murder mystery plot, which was deftly split into two parts.
