Adventureland
Movie

The Summer That Everything Changed is a time-honoured subset of the cinematic bildungsroman, but in Greg Mottola’s understated and infinitely quotable snapshot of post-collegiate ennui circa 1987, our boy James (Jesse Eisenberg in a persona-setting role) comes of age with more nuance than most. Fresh out of Oberlin and flat broke, he’s forced to spend the hot months minimum-waging it at his hometown amusement park, a set-up that would imply a familiar set of Hollywood hijinks. Mottola doesn’t so much defy the typical components of this comedy subgenre as he hones them to a finer point, crafting true-to-life characters and placing them in a recognisable past shaped by smartly deployed cultural markers.

And Just Like That
Comedy

It’s Valentine’s Day, and Carrie arranges to spend it having dinner with Aidan (eugh). Meanwhile, Charlotte accidentally eats space brownies (when did she and Harry become so fun?) and Drew Barrymore makes a special order at Anthony’s Hot Fellas bakery.

David Harewood on Blackface
Documentary

“It’s shocking,” says David Harewood as he watches footage of Judy Garland performing in blackface a year before she filmed The Wizard of Oz. It’s part of this superbly crafted documentary’s hugely informative exploration of the roots of minstrelsy, in which Harewood also speaks to academic Renée Landell, actor Adrian Lester and historian David Olusoga. A fascinating if (rightly) troubling watch, with our passionate host at times getting visibly upset.

Who Do You Think You Are?
Documentary

In the series finale, it’s the turn of one of Britain’s most acclaimed actors, Brighton-born Oscar-nominee Lesley Manville. Her most recent roles include playing Princess Margaret in The Crown, but Manville’s own family history – with its tales of scandal and sedition – is just as compelling as any royal saga.
