TED LASSO Season 4 – Review by Susan Granger

August 20, 2026August 23, 2026 Susan Granger Apple TV+, Hannah Waddingham, Jason Sudeikis, Jeremy Swift, juno temple, Ted Lasso Season 4

Jason Sudeikis’ hit comedy series <em>Ted Lasso</em> took a three-year hiatus – now it’s back for a fourth season. Last seen – the ever-optimistic American coach Ted left London to co-parent his young son in his hometown of Kansas City, Missouri. So he’s really surprised when team owner Rebecca Welton, marketing chief Keely Jones and operations head Leslie Higgins unexpectedly arrive stateside, ostensibly to see KC Current, the first stadium designed and built specifically for professional women’s sports.

ROOFMAN – Review by Valerie Kalfrin

October 5, 2025October 12, 2025 Valerie Kalfrin Ben Mendelsohn, Channing Tatum, Derek Cianfrance, juno temple, kirsten dunst, Lakeith Stanfield, Peter Dinklage, Roofman, uzo aduba

Roofman hypes its true-story roots but might have worked better as a documentary. The ads with star Channing Tatum, sporting an inner tube and toting a giant plush bear and a gun, highlight the quirks—“based on actual events and terrible decisions,” the poster says—but there’s little here to show why audiences should care for this guy. I’m not saying every protagonist needs to be likeable, but the film leans on Tatum’s considerable charm instead of fleshing out the motivations and flaws of its main character.

FARGO Season 5 – Review by Diane Carson

February 19, 2024February 22, 2024 Diane Carson F/X, fargo, hulu, jennifer jason leigh, Jon Hamm, juno temple, Noah Hawley, series

Fans of the 1996 film Fargo and the television series of the same title know that calm, understated, traditional fare will never dominate the narrative. This pattern holds true in Fargo’s fifth season set in 2019 Minnesota and North Dakota, as titles repeatedly remind us. This iteration blissfully delivers the desired off-beat humor and distinctive, inimitable violence. Very serious issues undergird the entire series, most significantly domestic abuse cloaked as the divine-directed dominance of wives by husbands. Creator Noah Hawley manages to entertain and inject humor into the weighty content.

March 12, 2020March 13, 2020 Leslie Combemale 0 Comments juno temple, katherine o;brien, lost transmissions, schizophrenia, Simon Pegg

A hard watch, writer/director Katherine O’Brien’s Lost Transmissions takes us into the world of schizophrenia, showing the suffering — without bombast and without flamboyance — in a way rarely shown onscreen.

Whistler Film Festival 2019: Katharine O’Brien on LOST TRANSMISSIONS

December 5, 2019December 6, 2019 Jennifer Merin 0 Comments awfj eda awards, juno temple, lost transmissions, Simon Pegg, Whistler Film Festival

Lost Transmissions is about mental illness. It’s also about the mental wavelengths we’re on, trying to connect to with one another, and missing. On one hand the film is grounded in realism. It shows someone trying to help their friend with psychiatric care. On the other hand, the film looks at how bizarre the real world is if we take a moment to consider it in depth. Lost Transmissions is the opening film at Whistler Film Festival 2019, where it is among the films nominated for an AWFJ EDA Award. Here’s what directior Katharine O’Briien has to say about making the film.
