The idea of revisiting the first COVID quarantine of 2020 might be anathema to most people, but the new Charli XCX documentary Alone Together offers the inside track on the creation of how i’m feeling now, a deeply personal pop album and a key creative document of the pandemic. Alone Together tracks the six week period when Charli holed up in her LA home and made a whole new album from scratch, with little company besides her boyfriend and a pile of freshly purchased recording equipment.
What the documentary reveals in its incisive sub-70 minutes is both a nuts-and-bolts look at the making of how i’m feeling now, as well as a portrait of an artist for whom creativity and her self-worth are almost inextricable from one another. In interviews, Charli XCX often talks about her earliest days as a performer when she’d play live at raves in suburban parts of her native England.
Nothing out of the ordinary there, except she was only 14 and her dad was waiting in the car to take her home as soon as the set was over. The idea of working when perhaps you shouldn’t be, or at least don’t need to, carries through a decade and a half later as Charli announces to documentary makers Pablo Jones-Soler and Bradley Bell that while the world is in lockdown she’s going to make a new record (most of the vérité footage is shot by Charli herself).
As an artist, Charli XCX has, at times, felt caught between worlds. She’s either an independent-minded solo creative with songwriting credits on some of the last decade’s biggest singles, or a pop star whose admirable unwillingness to conform has meant she’s never quite crossed over in the way a major label pop star probably should.

If you loved Prime Video’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel fast, funny, brilliantly paced, richly hued comedy about a woman’s determination to be taken seriously in her craft, the wait is almost over and it’s so worth it. The Amazon streamer debuts the Covid-delayed Season 4 on Feb. 18, more than two years after we last saw Rachel Brosnahan and ensemble flitting across NYC, Miami and Paris. This time, executive producers Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino stuck to the Big Apple with expansive new sets at Steiner Studios and location shoots in Brooklyn, Queens, the West Village, all over Manhattan, spinning logistical limitation into television gold.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticIf you asked a random group of Israelis and a random group of Palestinians to describe the events that surrounded the founding of Israel in 1948 (chief among them the War of Independence, which lasted close to a year), you’d probably come about as close as you could get to a world political “Rashomon.” The Israelis would likely tell the story of their nation’s founding as a heroic saga of Zionist destiny cloaked in historical justice. The Palestinians would likely tell the story of how they lost their nation, and would evoke that loss with the phrase they have always used to describe it: The Nakba (“The Catastrophe”).Hundreds of Palestinian towns and villages were destroyed by the Israelis in 1948, and at least 750,000 Palestinians became refugees.
