The most frightening prop in Sam Benstead’s documentary is a wall decorated to deceive a murderer. Annsar Shahoud, an Amsterdam-based Syrian academic, builds “Anna” from objects arranged for the camera: portraits of Hafez and Bashar al-Assad, a Shia sword pendant, the controlled poise of a woman pretending ideological kinship with a regime she knows through terror. The lie is theatrical, yet the stage is a laptop screen. No smoke-filled room, no trench coat, no dead drop. Just a video call, a false name, and the old human weakness for being understood. Killing Anna follows Shahoud and genocide studies professor Uğur...

A dead father should not be this good at organizing a golf trip. Jack Finnegan, played in brief but defining strokes by Ian McElhinney, exits Finnegan’s Foursome early, then keeps directing traffic from the urn. His last wish sends his family to Ireland to spread his ashes at four meaningful locations, a request that turns mourning into itinerary, inheritance into sport, and emotional avoidance into a scorecard. Edward Burns writes, directs, produces, and stars, which by now almost feels like one job title. Burns has built a career out of families who talk around pain until the talking becomes the...

That first clean knockout in EA Sports UFC 6 tells you where EA Vancouver spent its best design time. The punch does not trigger a canned fall. Your opponent’s neck snaps back, the knees vanish, and the body lands with a loose, ugly collapse that makes the replay feel like data worth studying. The game sells mixed martial arts through consequence: the limb that fails, the face that swells, the stamina bar that punishes panic, the style meter that tells you to fight like the athlete you selected. This sixth entry is the series’ strongest package in years because the...

A prison yard packed far past human scale becomes a recording booth, a marketplace, a stage, and a warning in Jail Time Records. The Central Prison of Douala, also known as New Bell, was built for roughly 800 men and now holds close to 6,000. That number matters because co-directors Steve Happi and Dione Roach never let the music float free of the place that produced it. Happi, a former prisoner and co-founder of the in-house label, brings the film a rare level of access. Roach, who worked with inmates through visual art, gives that access a visual charge that...

A dead child appearing alive in the background of a photograph is the sort of plot device streaming television understands instantly: grief becomes a thumbnail, and the thumbnail demands another episode. I Will Find You, Robert Hull’s eight-part Netflix adaptation of Harlan Coben’s 2023 novel, arrives with that brutal little miracle tucked inside its first act. David Burroughs, played by Sam Worthington, is five years into a life sentence in a Maine prison for killing his 3-year-old son, Matthew. He says he did not do it. The court, armed with DNA evidence and an eyewitness, decided otherwise. Then Rachel Mills,...

Tour de France 2026 arrives from Cyanide Studio and NACON on the same calendar rhythm the series has followed for years, landing in stores just ahead of the actual race it simulates. This is the second outing built on Unreal Engine 5, the engine switch having done its heavy lifting last year, which leaves this edition to answer a quieter question: what do you do with a new engine once the novelty of having one has worn off? The answer, this time, is weather. Rain, wind, and shifting temperatures move from background texture to a functioning system, reshaping how a...
