“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.

When I first heard of Karishma Manzur’s bid for U.S. Senate, it was shortly after New Hampshire’s senators broke rank to end Trump’s government shutdown without any extension to desperately-needed healthcare subsidies. As a Dartmouth student active in left-wing politics, the betrayal hit close to home. I had already been frustrated with the mediocre direction of the Democratic Party — impotent in the face of the affordability crisis and ever-more authoritarian overreach from the Trump administration — and the news left me feeling more alienated than I ever had from the party.

I’m from the heat of South Texas, where warmth is constant and familiar. The idea of plunging into cold water doesn’t come naturally to me — every instinct says resist. I hesitate at the edge, toes curled against the shock I know is coming.

As someone who is in need of relationship advice, I sat down with sociology professor Kathryn Lively, who teaches a course designed for would-be romantics: WGSS 33.07: “Love, Romance, Intimacy and Dating.” Lively taught the course last fall and will teach it again this coming fall. It is a discussion-based class where the final project involves interviewing a peer about their experiences with love, dating and intimacy. Whether you’re single and desperate or blissfully coupled, Lively has advice on how to keep romance from flatlining.
A previous Freak of the Week column put forward the knight-or-gnome dichotomy, in which everyone falls into one of the two camps as a person. There is no concrete definition for either category — and it’s apparently purely intuitive.
