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.

After 10 minutes, most viewers will have figured out exactly where “Tron: Ares” is going; it’s narratively shallow and plays out exactly as you’d expect. Most of the dialogue is also predictable, forcing accomplished actors to give stilted performances as they spout ham-fisted exposition and unfunny jokes. Despite its under-two-hour runtime, the movie feels both too long and not eventful enough.

“Against all odds, I’ve found myself in the business of optics, not substance.” Spoken by a peripheral character, this is the unassuming thesis of Luca Guadagnino’s latest film. “After the Hunt” is a gripping psychological thriller that weaves a complex web of power dynamics related to race, class and gender. In this campus drama set in 2019, philosophy professor Alma Imhoff (Julia Roberts) contends with the news that a favored colleague Hank (Andrew Garfield) has allegedly sexually assaulted her Ph.D. student Maggie (Ayo Edebiri).

Feather boas. Bodies dripping with rhinestones. Burgundy stage curtains fading into shadow. This was the promotional imagery for Taylor Swift’s 12th studio album “The Life of a Showgirl.” Written and produced during Swift’s The Eras Tour by Swift, Max Martin and Shellback, this is a record about performance. It leans into spectacle, teasing some sort of confession behind its glittering facade that is never quite revealed. Over 12 tracks, Swift slips between contradictory personas, leaving the listener uncertain as to which, if any, are real.

From the pseudo-gothic “Phantom Thread” to the contained “Punch-Drunk Love,” all Paul Thomas Anderson films tend to center complex interpersonal dynamics. One of the most prolific and acclaimed directors working today, his plots range from coming-of-age films like “Licorice Pizza” to historical thrillers like “There Will Be Blood” and experimental cult classics like “Magnolia.” Besides his tendency to work with the same actors and to set his films in California, one can identify Anderson film by its use of tracking and extended shots alongside bold soundtracks and sweeping establishing frames. At their core, however, his films investigate what brings and keeps people together — and “One Battle After Another” is no exception.
