All told, the document released by the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office and obtained by IndieWire is a 551-page binder, the first time such material has been made public in its entirety.

Host: Billie Eilish In a season filled with newcomer “SNL” hosts, the opening monologue has been the quickest indicator of what to expect out of a first-timer. Whether it’s surprising ease or obvious nerves, while the actual act of doing sketch comedy is a different beast once the show gets going, the monologue sets the tone. While Eilish spoke about being from a family of actors — and her acting chops did ultimately shine through in this episode — that familiarity with the medium didn’t quite translate to the greatest monologue....

That doesn’t stop star Marin Ireland from doing her damndest to pull it all together, as her performance alone teases a more effective film, one in which the shaky bridge between its religious-tinged trauma and very human grief transforms into something with real power. Even when the film gives itself over to gross-out gags and hints at an overall mythology that never emerges, Ireland holds steady, turning in a spine-tingling performance that delivers the emotional weight the rest of the film so strangely lacks....

“The Year of the Everlasting Storm,” an evocative anthology film capturing the human scale of the pandemic, in personal detail, offers a different kind of comfort.
