Obi-Wan Kenobi
In Obi-Wan Kenobi, the title character watches over a young Luke Skywalker while being haunted by memories of his friend turned enemy, Darth Vader. The first two episodes were broadcast on Disney+ on Friday, May 27 and the following ones, one per week, will be on Wednesdays, until June 22.

Moon Knight
Egyptian filmmaker Mohamed Diab is directing two-thirds of the episodes, while the duo of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead handle the others. No matter who is behind the camera, there is a good dose of humor, breathtaking suspense and spectacular action. We think of IndianaJones and to tomb Raiderespecially for the scenes in Egypt.

Better Nate Than Ever
Several themes are indeed addressed throughout the adventure, such as friendship, self-acceptance and acceptance of others. Other aspects deserved to be better defined, such as the relationship between Nate’s mother and Aunt Heidi, whose reconciliation is barely touched upon in the scenes presented during the credits. This would have given greater depth to this still entertaining film, which is aimed at a family audience.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
The Eyes of Tammy Faye has the merit of bringing us back to a time — the 1970s and 1980s — when the religious right became a political force whose influence, despite the scandals, continued to grow. This social aspect is not at the heart of the approach of the artisans of this film, but it nevertheless reveals something of the American collective unconscious.

summer of soul
Throughout the duration of summer of soul, there is also a benevolence of black artists and activists who parade on the stage. Fifty years later, we realize the importance of not burying the history of racialized communities in the furrow of oblivion.
Luc Boulanger
West Side Story
It is not said that the new version of West Side Story will outclass in the collective imagination the West Side Story from 1961, rooted there for decades, but Steven Spielberg was right to want to refresh a work that deserves to be passed on to new generations. He wins his bet hands down.

The Dropout
The miniseries The Dropout tells a story similar to that of Anna Sorokin (Inventing Anna, on Netflix) of a young fraudster who sees big and who falls from very high. This is Elizabeth Holmes, brilliantly played by Amanda Seyfried, the fallen boss of the Theranos company, who promised sea and world to the medical industry before being swallowed up by the wave of her lies.
