An elegantly composed mosiac of real events and artfully restaged memories, Iranian director Firouzeh Khosrovani's stylized documentary Radiograph of a Family is a personal passion project with rich political and cultural resonance.

because he was such a disaster? Or were they on his side, trying to will him to pull himself together rather than finding entertainment in his wreckage?Whatever the reason for celebrating his chemically-induced ineptitude, the concert was a sad and depressing event for me, even though I loved many of the glorious songs MacGowan had written and sung with The Pogues.

“There are eight million stories in the naked city,” went the voiceover in Jules Dassin’s classic Big Apple-set film noir. Two such stories make up the crux of the documentary Five Years North, which follows a pair of New Yorkers who couldn’t be more incompatible, even if their lives are connected in larger, more meaningful ways.

As a premise for comedy, a wedding is a fairly foolproof device, allowing characters who would ordinarily never cross paths to meet in increasingly tangled plot strands. You almost have to try to mess that up.

Early in Steve McQueen's Alex Wheatle, the young protagonist whose name gives the film its title prompts derision from a barber shop full of Londoners of West Indian descent by revealing that he doesn't consider himself African. "I might be Black, but I'm from Surrey," says the young Brit abandoned by his Jamaican parents, who has grown up in the loveless Social Services foster-care system.

With the arrival of Alex Wheatle, the fourth of five installments that make up Small Axe, Steve McQueen’s adamant and penetrating series of roughly hourlong dramas centering on the Black immigrant community experience in post-World War II Britain, the emerging core concern is the hypocrisy involved in the nation laying out the welcome mat to newcomers in the first place while denying opportunity once they’ve arrived.

Fully identified with a preteen heroine facing challenges that have no good solutions, Van Maximilian Carlson's Princess of the Row views even the harshest realities of homelessness through the eyes of someone who stubbornly believes in happy endings. Sentimental at times but not as cloying as its title may suggest, the polished production benefits from the happily un-cute lead performance of young star Tayler Buck, whose determination suits the weighty social issues driving the plot.

Soft-hearted, middle-of-the-road comedies — that is the brand Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone have established in their three previous films together. With McCarthy as star and sometimes co-writer, and Falcone as director and writer, the real-life married couple have turned out the innocuous, mildly funny Life of the Party (2018), The Boss (2016) and Tammy (2014).
