The upcoming Apple TV+ film Fancy Dance, now playing in theaters before its streaming release on June 28th, is the type of unromanticized character study that should be celebrated. Seen through a double feminist and cultural safety lens, Fancy Dance is patient in the way the character study unfolds, sneaking up on you with its modern-day tale of colonialism still ongoing in America today.
Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe-winning actress Lily Gladstone is at the center of the story. The Indigenous actress gives a convincing performance as a woman who embodies strength and resilience with an unwavering and calm demeanor when seen. However, when alone, she displays the type of private vulnerability that packs a poignant punch to a sometimes stagnant story.

Norwegian duo Lost Girls’s Selvutsletter doesn’t quite manage the same wonders as their 2021 debut, Menneskekollektivet, but it’s another flight of fancy that dazzles in its defiance of expectations. This is due in large part to the way singer Jenny Hval uses her piercing voice to both entrance and provoke. When she sings the title of the opening track, “Timed Intervals,” she holds the last note until her voice breaks. Later, on “June 1996,” she trills a note with almost anarchic abandon, bending it up and down the scale with a playful randomness.
These choices convey the kind of unpredictability that Hval supplies throughout Selvutsletter. She sings much more here than she did on Menneskekollektivet, where her vocal contributions were largely spoken. At times, one misses the contrast that her stream-of-conscious lyrics struck with multi-instrumentalist Håvard Volden’s propulsive electronic beats.
Two of the five songs on Menneskekollektivet hover around the 15-minute mark,...

A suspect in the Long Island Serial Killer case is in custody. The arrest comes more than 10 years after police discovered several bodies in a marsh close to an exclusive beachside enclave in New York. The arrest of a New York City architect brings more questions than answers to the case, though. While the arrest is fresh, discussions about the case and potential suspects are not. We’ve collected one documentary and two podcasts you’ll want to check out before an eventual trial.

Updated Throughout: Law enforcement officials and investigators used cell phone data, DNA evidence and computer search histories to zero in on the suspect in the Long Island serial killer case, explained Ray Tierney, Suffolk County, New York, District Attorney, in a press briefing this afternoon.
Among other bits of evidence presented to a grand jury since the formation of an investigative task force last year were hairs found on the bodies of at least three victims, hairs that provided DNA that matched DNA found on a pizza crust discarded by suspect Rex Heuermann.
Tierney also said that Heuermann had been linked to various “burner” cell phones – a different phone allegedly used to contact each victim and then discarded after the murder – and that cell phone tower data linked locations frequented by Heuermann – his Massapequa Park home, his Midtown Manhattan office – to calls made to the victims.

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Only Murders in the Building” Episode 10, “Open and Shut.”]
Back in Episode 4, podcaster extraordinaire Cinda Canning (Tina Fey) not only provided the narration that bookended “The Sting,” but she also teased the ending of “Only Murders in the Building” by flashing “a few months” ahead. The host of “All Is Not Ok in Oklahoma” — the true crime series that first brought together Charles (Steve Martin), Mabel (Selena Gomez), and Oliver (Martin Short) — was suddenly talking about them, only it didn’t make much sense at the time. After quoting a line from “Brazzos” about second chances, not-Sarah-Koenig says, “[it] prophesied what would happen 15 years later, when a fake detective decided to become a real one; when he and his true crime fan buddies took a second chance — and became the subject of our next investigation.”
“Stay tuned for ‘Only Murderers in the Building,’ coming this fall.”

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the Season 4 finale of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” streaming now on Hulu.
Writer, producer and director Liz Garbus is adamantly opposed to the death penalty, something she has explored in such documentaries as “The Execution of Wanda Jean” dating back to 2002. Yet, for her scripted television directorial debut, the fourth season finale of Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” she delivers an episode that carries out such a sentence.
While the idea “does go against a larger principle I have,” Garbus tells Variety, “they’re very different situations.”
Certainly the biggest difference is that “The Handmaid’s Tale” is fictional — and fantastical in some ways — and was not setting out to validate such retribution for a crime. In the episode, entitled “The Wilderness,” former Gilead Commander Fred (Joseph Fiennes) cuts a deal to turn over secrets about how that new “government” works...

Ahead of the release of their album Menneskekollektivet, Lost Girls dropped the trippy single “Losing Something.”
The track features Jenny Hval reciting lines from The Policeman’s Beard Is Half Constructed, a collection of poems from the early Eighties created by the computer program Racter. “More than iron/More than lead/More than gold I need electricity,” she sings over Håvard Volden’s swirling loops of percussion.
“Losing Something” follows the title track of the new album, which the duo dropped last month. Menneskekollektivet (“Human Collective”) was recorded last spring at Norway’s Øra Studios.

Time is always fleeting, but never has it seemed as warped and malleable as it has in 2020. Reality has been a painful pill to swallow at times this past year, but thankfully we’ve seen bright spots through it all, from much-needed movements for social justice to people casting their ballots for a more stable future than what we’ve experienced these past several years.
As important as it was to stay in tune with the world at large in 2020, it was also important to take the time to unplug, unwind, and relax our minds. For many of us last year, occasional escapism wasn’t just a luxury, it was a survival skill, and thankfully there were still plenty of new horror films, books, video games, and other forms of entertainment to enjoy from the comfort (and safety) of our quarantined homes.
