Tobias Wallace can return a child’s lost stuffed rabbit, negotiate around airport security, counsel a grieving passenger, hunt through checked luggage for an engagement ring and still find time to ignore his new boss. This is apparently pastoral care at Melbourne Airport. Hugo Weaving plays Tobias as a man whose job description stopped mattering years ago, largely because everyone has learned that calling him tends to get things fixed. Created by Elise McCredie and Jude Troy, The Airport Chaplain gives Tobias eight half-hour episodes in which to wander into problems that technically belong to somebody else. Bonnie Moir and Tig...

True-crime television has trained audiences to recognize the emergency call as a narrative trigger. A voice reaches a dispatcher after every earlier opportunity for intervention has failed, and the series can then reconstruct the path to that moment. Death of the Pastor’s Wife uses that convention with unusual discomfort because Mica Miller is the person making the call about herself. The three-part Netflix series, directed by Julia Willoughby Nason and Michael Gasparro, begins near Lumber River State Park in North Carolina, where Mica called 911 on April 27, 2024, shortly before her death at age 30. The medical examiner ruled...

Goa becomes a gangster fantasia under Geetu Mohandas, a place where Portuguese colonial history, opium money, sharp suits, nightclub smoke, tommy guns, and circus imagery are folded into one extravagant crime mythology. Toxic: A Fairytale for Grownups stretches across decades and runs for roughly 194 minutes, yet its scale rarely produces the emotional space such a story needs. The film keeps moving, cutting, firing, seducing, betraying, and killing until spectacle begins consuming the drama meant to support it. That tension is especially striking given the people behind the film. Mohandas has previously demonstrated an ability to find private anguish inside...

Caroline does not need a demon to hate her mother. Her anger is already waiting for one. That distinction gives The Containment its most promising emotional idea. Jules is trying to keep two children together after her quadriplegic husband dies by suicide, while Caroline still blames her for the earlier car accident that left him disabled. Her younger brother Don has responded differently, retreating into silence since his father's death. Before anything supernatural happens, this family has already stopped communicating in every meaningful sense. Directors Jack Zagha Kababie and Yossy Zagha, working from a screenplay written with David Desola, could...

Fifty thousand people can easily become scenery. L.I.V.E. in São Paulo refuses them that fate. Bring Me the Horizon’s largest headline show at Allianz Parque is filmed with an unusual obsession for perspective. Drone shots pull back until the stadium resembles an illuminated circuit board, then the edit dives straight into bodies colliding inside the pit. Small cameras catch Matt Nicholls hammering through a song from behind the kit, others stay close enough to Oli Sykes to register the strain across his face, and fan footage occasionally interrupts the professional material with shakier, less obedient images. The concert keeps changing...

Ahsen Nadeem announces himself as “a fantastic liar,” and the confession lands with the peculiar lightness of someone who has rehearsed guilt until it became a joke. He was raised in a strict Muslim Pakistani household in Saudi Arabia, moved with his family to Ireland during the Gulf War, then gradually abandoned the religious life his parents still believed he practiced. Years later, another secret has accumulated around him: Dawn, the non-Muslim woman he loves, has been hidden from his family. Crows Are White begins from that fracture. Nadeem travels to Mount Hiei near Kyoto, where Tendai Buddhist monks pursue...
