On Jan. 30, Friday Night Rock — a student club that brings independent and alternative artists to Dartmouth — hosted a performance by the Philadelphia-based indie-rock band Florry. The band performed a selection of their songs that add a higher-energy spin to indie music, drawing from folk and country as well as rock elements. The night marked the second event featuring indie artists this term, following a performance by the indie-folk band Racing Mount Pleasant on Jan. 23.

As its generic title might suggest, Bart Layton’s “Crime 101” often plays like a remix of familiar tropes from crime genre classics. Thankfully, its strong direction and all-star cast make it a strong, well-made entry in the tradition, even if it doesn’t break any new ground and ends with a slightly undercooked finale.

“The Testament of Ann Lee” refuses to be defined by a single genre. At once a historical drama, a psychological portrait and a folk musical, the film is powerful because it transcends definition. As a rigorous, historically anchored portrait of Shaker religious life, it is epic without losing its intimacy and immersive without becoming indulgent.

In Clint Bentley’s “Train Dreams,” the tumult of the early 20th century collides with one man’s desire to lead a simple life in the American West. Based on Denis Johnson’s novella and nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards, Bentley reunited with screenwriter and director Greg Kwedar to co-write this film after their collaboration on “Sing Sing” in 2023. “Train Dreams” follows Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton), an American railroad laborer from Bonners Ferry, Idaho, who grows up witnessing the dramatic impacts of mass industrialization and World War I. Nevertheless, he will die unconcerned with the fact that mankind has stepped foot on the moon, having never picked up a telephone because he has no one to call. Chronicling the ebbs and flows of this ordinary man’s life over 80 years, “Train Dreams” is a visually stunning meditation on man’s search for coping with grief and making a mark in an increasingly industrialized world.

Friday Night Rock kicked off the winter term with a standout show on Friday, Jan. 23, bringing Racing Mount Pleasant to Sarner Underground for what I consider the best FNR performance I’ve seen here at Dartmouth.

In “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You,” the sky may not be falling, but the ceiling is. The dramedy-meets-psychological-thriller centers on Linda (Rose Byrne), a therapist whose unnamed young daughter is struggling with an unidentified eating disorder. Her life is a series of unrelenting battles. Her husband Charles (Christian Slater) is a cruise ship captain who calls home only to berate her; her therapist (Conan O’Brien) is hostile and remarkably unhelpful and her own clients’ struggles are increasingly difficult for her to treat.

“Melania” chronicles 20 days in the life of Melania Trump leading up to the second inauguration of her husband, then president-elect Donald Trump. While the first half of the documentary consists primarily of event and wardrobe planning for the presidential transition, the second serves as a play-by-play of the ceremony and subsequent celebrations. Yet despite the centrality of Melania’s perspective and frequent voiceover narration from her, the film offers almost zero insight into the first lady as a person. Though she may be the protagonist, no inner life is revealed.

“Hamnet” is a film designed to make you cry. In Chloé Zhao’s film, raw performances and breathtaking cinematography coalesce into a stunning meditation on grief and its endurance. An adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s 2020 novel, “Hamnet” follows William Shakespeare’s nuclear family before and after the death of his son Hamnet. Both the novel and the screenplay, which was co-written by O’Farrell and Zhao, assume that Shakespeare’s famous tragedy “Hamlet” was inspired by the death of his son. Although scholars debate the veracity of this premise, its historicity is ultimately irrelevant — the film never claims to be accurate, and its power derives from its efficacy as a deeply human tale.

Now that the Academy has released its ironclad grip on the Oscars contenders on Jan. 22, it is time to discuss Joachim Trier’s “Sentimental Value.” The staggering nine nominations — unprecedented for a Norwegian film — acknowledge the remarkable script and direction, stunning performances and tender yet gripping story. In short, “Sentimental Value” may be a perfect movie.

From Jan. 15 to 18, the Hopkins Center for the Arts hosted illusionist and mentalist Scott Silven and presented his performance piece “Wonders” to sold-out audiences at the Daryl Roth Studio Theater. “Wonders” blends a standard magic act with theatrical composition in a way that provokes a unique sense of awe, inspiring not only intrigue about the world and its surroundings, but insight into yourself and those around you.

“28 Years Later” is a strange, experimental take on the zombie genre and one of 2025’s best films. It served as the third installment in the horror franchise that began with 2002’s “28 Days Later” and introduced a new cast of characters for a planned trilogy. Last year’s entry ended with an outrageous sequence in which young protagonist Spike (Alfie Williams) was rescued by a gang of acrobatic zombie-killing ninjas dressed to resemble Jimmy Savile, a beloved UK media personality who was eventually outed as one of the country’s most notorious pedophiles.
