Does “Last Week Tonight” Count As Taking A Break From Watching The News?
Acutely funny and always well-intentioned, Last Week Tonight has a lot of heart for a satirical-news program.

For three years, documentary filmmaker Geertjan Lassche followed the strong-willed farmer Heijmen Brouwer (61) from Leusden, who, slogging through dung and mud and assisted by his 77-year-old half-blind hand Hendrik, steers his shabby farm along the Dutch legislation and rules. Then, on New Year's Eve 2006, farmer Brouwer decides he has had it with his fatherland's control freakery. 'One half of Holland controls the other half. I'm completely fed up.' Brouwer wants to emigrate to France, taking along his livestock (which fits in two huge trucks), Hendrik and his girlfriend.

A haunting look at grief, survival, and a mother’s quiet collapse in a world that never gave her room to fall.
The film follows the biblical story of Moses, from his time as a prince of Egypt, to a leader for the people of Israel. It’s a film that works brilliantly in animation, and is one that both children and adults can; enjoy despite its religious contexts, it is friendly to general audiences.
I understand that this would have been consistent with the language used by that generation, due to its role in the medical profession, however as someone who has family members with Down Syndrome I took it very personally.
With This is Us now on its fifth season and A Million Little Things on its third, we have a lot of material to entertain the hypothetical: if these two shows got in the ring together, who would come out victorious? Despite the endless recognition for the former’s success, I dare say I’d put my money on A Million Little Things once all is said and done.
American Fiction is a genuinely entertaining film with a few lessons.
