Written by veteran TV writer David A. Goodman, its teenage lead looks like a cross between Tracy Flick from "Election" and Cher Horowitz from "Clueless."

Honor has carefully forged this plan over the past four years. In her mind, Harvard is the only school that can guarantee her a one-way exit from a dead end. It's not that her middle-class life sucks or that her working parents aren't loving; she is well aware of the limited options her small town can provide, should she return home with a lackluster education.

As former brothers Donnie and Joe Emerson reunite with their family over a 30-year-overdue assessment of the album they recorded as teenagers, one critical reference in particular sends them reeling giddily:  "To twist a Brian Wilson line." , it reads: " is a symphony of heaven for the teens."

Kristen Lovell and Zackary Drucker's moving documentary offers an excitingly revisionist slice of New York City's transgender history. Queer history is an act of digging. Telling stories about the LGBTQ community, and transgender people in particular, necessarily requires examining archives that are utterly hostile to those they document.

Director Kim Ki-yeol (Song Kang-ho) only needs two more days of filming to create a new ending for his latest film, and it will no longer be the trashy trash everyone thought he was making. It will be, he frequently declares “A masterpiece!” Director Kim Jee-woon doesn't seem to harbor similar aspirations for his meta-movie "Spiderweb," his loosest, least substantial, sloppy film in quite some time, though it's safe to say the gulf between it and masterpiece status is a bit. wider than a two-day reshoot could cover. A movie that contains another movie; a filmmaker referring to a filmmaker's evidence: it's a film with many layers, all flashy and silly, none great. That's an assessment that would certainly cut Ki-yeol off, because, as played by Song Kang-ho of "Parasite" with typically tacky charm, he certainly dreams of greatness.
