From folk-tinged classics like “Songs of Love and Hate” to his late-career, mortality-centric masterpieces like “Old Ideas” and “You Want It Darker,” Cohen’s unique voice never failed to captivate his legions of devoted fans. But while his literary prowess is rivaled by few, his enigmatic personality and relative lack of mainstream popularity make him something of a mystery to many music lovers. “Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song,” a new documentary from Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine (“The Galapagos Affair”), seeks to change that....

But often overlooked when discussing HBO’s great drama series is “In Treatment,” a show centered around a single therapist, Dr. Paul Weston (Gabriel Byrne) and a rotating slate of patients. It was a small show, an unconventional half-hour drama that aired five episodes a week, the better to mimic a therapist’s schedule. But within those half-hour episodes, each representing a single therapy session, “In Treatment” packed a hell of a punch and in its first three seasons earned a Peabody Award, seven Emmy nominations, and two Emmy wins....

Newcomer Emma Galbraith stars as Angie Chen, a teen artist who is secretly hooking up with popular jock Liam (William Magnuson). While Angie starts having sex — and endures the awkwardness of losing her virginity — Liam starts flirting with her classmates. Angie vlogs diary entries to get through her parents’ divorce and grapple with the fact that there are few things in her control. Throwing another wrench into Angie’s problems is the fact that her Chinese father starts to date a Chinese woman with the “perfect” archetypal Chinese-American daughter, someone that Angie feels like she can never be since she is half white....

What drives them to do either is barely unearthed over the first four episodes, and the fleeting bits of commentary about a new generation’s altruistic approach to banking gets overwhelmed by prevalent dense financial jargon. Despite conventional stories and a broadly appealing cast, “Industry” feels too much like the pre-COVID daily grind than an escape from the grind itself. “Industry” takes place at Pierpoint & Co., a London-based investment bank where only half of new recruits will go on to receive permanent jobs....

James McAvoy, for one, won’t be mounting an Oscar campaign any time soon. In a new interview with GQ UK, the actor revealed that he refused to campaign for an Oscar nomination for his role in “Atonement.” Though his performance in Joe Wright’s 2007 film was warmly received, he felt uncomfortable with the level of self promotion it required. McAvoy made the decision after helping Forest Whitaker successfully campaign for an Oscar for “The Last King of Scotland” the year prior....

IndieWire is exclusively debuting a conversation between Campion and Holly Hunter, during which Campion detailed working with the “Doctor Strange” star. Watch the video below. “Casting is so stressful because you’re doing it really when you know the story the least,” Campion recalled of the Netflix film.
