A new documentary, ‘The Inner Sea,’ tells a story of adoption, music and love

Zoey MaraistMay 16, 20254 min read
More than 20 years ago, Kate Stapleton stood on the shores of Lake Michigan and made the heart-wrenching decision to place her daughter for adoption.

Movie Review: ‘Another Simple Favor’

John MulderigMay 9, 20252 min read
Director Paul Feig returns with “Another Simple Favor” (Amazon MGM). Alas, while much of the moral waywardness of the original is still present — if, for the most part, only by way of supposedly humorous references to the past — the aesthetic assets on display seven years ago have largely disappeared.

Pope Francis on Film

John MulderigApril 30, 20254 min read
From the moment of his election in early 2013, Pope Francis naturally became one of the world’s most newsworthy individuals. But it was especially in the latter half of his pontificate that he proved an intriguing figure for moviemakers. Both documentarians and the creators of feature films were drawn to him over that time.

Television Review: ‘Journey to You,’ Hallmark Channel
