The 1967 war changes the direction of Edward Said’s account of himself. In archival interviews, he recalls how the Arab defeat forced him to reconsider an identity he had learned to keep at some distance during his academic life in the United States. Maiken Baird gives that recollection a pivotal place in Edward Said: Between Worlds. Before it, the film has followed a man trying to locate himself across countries and languages. After it, his work as a Palestinian public intellectual has a clearer urgency. The turn gives this wide-ranging biography a shape that a list of publications and appointments...

At a half-empty screening of The Terminator, Bicho struggles to follow the time travel, and his old friend Vardemann tries to explain it. The joke has an edge. Vardemann has returned to Chivilcoy after years in prison, another friend is dying, and neither man can revisit the choice that separated them. An American blockbuster supplies a neat fantasy of repairing the past. Benjamín Naishtat lets that fantasy play on the screen while two Argentines sit with what cannot be repaired. Glaxo moves between their reunion in 1984, the friends’ adolescence in 1957, and an earlier episode of police violence. Changes...

Danny Carlton tells his life-coaching instructor that helping people is not all about money. “It kind of is,” Marshall replies. It is a correction delivered with the ease of a man who has already been paid. Danny hears it, yet seems to file it alongside the other lessons he can repeat without quite believing. The exchange gives Tom Nicoll’s Salvation its first serious disagreement: Danny thinks he has bought a way to become useful, while Marshall is teaching him how to sell usefulness. Marshall (Kevin O’Loughlin) also tells Danny he is proud of him, and the praise lands. Liam Harkins...

Anghya tells her husband that, after she dies, he and their son will be alone. She is already looking at the life beyond her own; Anghba seems unable to look past the village that has emptied around them. In Theja Rio’s Angh, their disagreement gives the quiet rooms and paths a terrible intimacy. Anghba can still keep the customs he inherited. He cannot make Amao feel the presence of the people who once kept them with him. That distance grows while Anghya is alive. Former neighbours, now living in a nearby Baptist settlement, return and offer to take her for...

The police have a DNA match. The young man they bring to Ryu So-young is her missing son, Sun-woo, now grown. Yet the child she knows is still waiting at home, ready for breakfast whenever she puts on her glasses. Kim Hyun-joo lets that impossible overlap register before So-young can explain it to anyone else. She looks at the person in front of her and cannot make nine years disappear simply because he has returned. Bae Hyeon-seong plays the adult Sun-woo as guarded enough to make the reunion uneasy, but his distance has another effect: it exposes how little room...

Butch has an unusually full schedule for a tournament villain. He is involved with Joe’s former partner Kate, tied to the gym’s drug business, and waiting at the far end of the competition Joe hopes will pay for his son’s surgery. Each connection gives their eventual fight another reason to matter. It also means that Taim M. Adams’s Lion Fist rarely has to decide which of Joe’s troubles deserves its attention. They keep turning out to be the same trouble in a different room. Joe and Mei’s attempt to expose the gym brings detectives Williams and Parker into the picture,...
