Richard Linklater is known for one-shot scenes, meditations on the passage of time and penetrating dialogue. In “Blue Moon,” his most recent film, he combines all three components as expected alongside mediations on self-destruction, love and the human condition. However, while the movie has some stunning moments, the opening third is a slog with none of the restraint of Linklater’s “Before” trilogy or experimentation of his film “Boyhood.” Fortunately, standout performances by Ethan Hawke and the supporting actors mostly make up for this weakness.

After listening to more than 200 albums released in 2025, I’ve grown dizzy from a musical landscape in constant motion. Sounds shift, genres intersect and new ideas flash by in an endless state of reinvention. Amid that chaos, “Oblivion” — the sixth full-length studio album from South African singer-songwriter Alice Phoebe Lou — offers a moment of stillness and a timeless reminder of music’s power to slow you down and make you feel human again.

Much of “Bugonia,” Yorgos Lanthimos’ absurdist black comedy thriller, deals with a common modern sentiment: that mysterious forces are quietly pulling strings to manipulate society. From this view, much of the world’s evil and inequality may be attributed to a malevolent cabal that has embedded itself in the highest levels of government and business. In “Bugonia,” the answer is simple: the cabal isn’t human at all, but alien. With its embrace of comedy, nuanced characters and great acting alongside effective imagery and music, “Bugonia” strikes a contemporary nerve.

I am a sucker for adventure documentaries, from “Free Solo” to “Edge of the Unknown.” So when I saw that the Hopkins Center for the Arts was showing “Mountainfilm on Tour,” I was ready to be similarly enraptured. Curated from the annual Mountainfilm festival held in Telluride, Co., it promised an “evening of adventure-packed short films.”

“To be free, you have to know how to live,” sings Brazilian rapper Negra Li, in “Luta Cansativa.” This song opens one of the early sequences of Anna Muylaert’s new film “The Best Mother in the World.” In the scene, a Black woman named Gal (Shirley Cruz) meanders through São Paulo’s chaotic traffic, pushing her heavy, garbage-filled cart. Her job involves collecting trash from the streets and selling it for recycling. As the rap suggests, Gal is trying to pursue freedom — both for herself and her children.

From Oct. 2 to Oct. 19, Shaker Bridge Theatre in White River Junction, Vt., put on “Eureka Day,” a 2018 play by Jonathan Spector that follows a private elementary school board as it deals with a mumps outbreak. Given the significant population of unvaccinated students, the board disagrees and fractures over the right approach to the issue. With standout performances from the Shaker Bridge Theatre cast, “Eureka Day” is a mostly effective play that explores the negative underside of making decisions by forced consensus.

As the Class of 2029 circled the light show on Homecoming weekend, I found myself at a different show: a performance by local band “Moondogs” at Sawtooth Kitchen, Bar and Stage. With an experimental music style featuring a slower pace, their versatile performance distinguished them from the more predictable sound of other indie psychedelic rock bands.
