Judy Kaplan has built a career around identifying narcissists, which is precisely why her daughter's engagement terrifies her. She teaches psychology at NYU, writes bestselling relationship books, and speaks with the authority of someone who has converted private damage into public expertise. Her marriage to Edward left that expertise with scar tissue. He persuaded her to abandon plans for Oxford, then left her raising their daughter Eva with enough resentment to turn romantic caution into a worldview. So when 22-year-old Eva announces that she plans to marry Theo, a 29-year-old doctor she has known for six weeks, Judy does not...

Fifteen years can turn a golf course into a repository of private ghosts. Augusta National offered Rory McIlroy the same fairways every April, the same greens, the same familiar places where ambition had previously curdled into disappointment. Rory McIlroy: The Masters Wait understands that repetition as the defining feature of his relationship with the Masters. Every return carries memory. Drea Cooper’s Prime Video documentary, produced with McIlroy’s Firethorn Productions, centers on his 2025 victory, the result that completed the career Grand Slam after victories at the U.S. Open, PGA Championship, and Open Championship. Four majors had arrived between 2011 and...

The most revealing action in Tukoni: Forest Keepers involves making tea for someone who does not strictly need it. Traveller can gather ingredients, prepare a creature's preferred blend, sit down, and watch a tiny exchange of warmth unfold without dialogue. No quest marker announces a major reward. The pleasure comes from having understood another resident of the forest well enough to offer the right cup. That emphasis gives Dream Operator's short point-and-click adventure its identity. Based on the books of Ukrainian artist and author Oksana Bula, who serves here as art director, the game casts players as Traveller, a small...

Coss Marte has one of those biographies documentary filmmakers usually spend an entire feature trying to shape into a clean arc. He ran a multimillion-dollar drug operation in New York while barely out of his teens, went to prison at 23, lost roughly 70 pounds through bodyweight exercises in his cell, started training other inmates, and came home determined to turn that routine into a business. Debra Granik spends five episodes and roughly eight years refusing to make any of this look clean. That patience gives Conbody vs Everybody its character. Granik begins filming Marte in 2014 as Conbody moves...

Pamplona gives Adela almost no empty space. Her mother watches, religion supplies the rules, furniture crowds the interiors, and mirrors repeatedly return her own image without offering much recognition. Fernando González Molina uses those cramped late-1990s rooms to turn repression into architecture. Before Adela has language for being intersex, the house has already told us that somebody else has been arranging her life. My Dearest Señorita, written by Alana S. Portero as a reinterpretation of Jaime de Armiñán’s 1972 film, relocates the earlier story’s questions from Franco-era secrecy to a period when those questions could finally be spoken aloud. Elisabeth...

Move one sword two squares to the left and an ordinary run can suddenly look survivable. That small act captures why Lootbound works. ArtDock has built a dark-fantasy roguelite where the most absorbing tactical decisions often happen after combat, when the party stops fighting and you begin rearranging its possessions like an anxious quartermaster with a Tetris problem. Each expedition begins with one of four heroes: Warrior, Witch, Paladin, or Bard. You travel across branching nodes, collect companions, gamble for equipment, and prepare for the Sentinel waiting beyond the third biome. The tabletop influence is obvious in the dice rolls...
