On Friday I was able to see the @GuthrieTheater's "Christmas Carol" for the first time since its reinvention. I’m glad to have bade farewell to distracting flourishes, but as Ebenezer learns, there is such a thing as taking yourself too seriously. thetangential.com/2023/11/18…

What is @tarmovie? Why is everyone talking about it? Is this Cate Blanchett's greatest work since "Carol"? Be one of the first in Minnesota to find out: grab a free pass for a Monday screening at Showplace ICON. focusfeaturesscreenings.com/…

A new Julia Child documentary is a little basic — but if you don’t know the basics, or if you just want to see some really fun archival video, find a theater playing #JuliaMovie. thetangential.com/2021/11/19…
