At first glance, “The Good Liar” is a respectable piece of fiction, starring Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren. But underneath everything, the film expertly hones the unpredictability of deceit.

Hanna Bergholm's 'Hatching' shows us that the modern version of the cardboard world trope is social media.

Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.
