The grand gesture is where a romantic comedy ends. The man who said no changes his mind and sprints for the gate. He turns up exactly where the woman he disappointed can see him, and the credits roll before anyone has to find out how the relationship survives Tuesday. American Horror Story's thirteenth season spends that beat almost immediately. Ben DeSoto (Joey Pollari) counts everything in a couples therapist's waiting room and has a phobia of the number 13. His girlfriend Kira (Madelaine Petsch) adores the number, has a birthday on the 13th, and has planned a trip with 13...

Francisco Foxá needs a detective, and he has found a man who played one. Benjamin Basil spent years portraying Sherlock Holmes on screen, which is qualification enough for the aspiring crime novelist once a hotel guest turns up dead. Basil keeps pointing out the distinction between acting and investigating. Foxá keeps asking for his opinion anyway. Their disagreement gives The Final Problem a way into its mystery: Basil has learned to look observant for a camera, but a real deduction could put suspicion on someone trapped in the hotel with him. José Coronado makes Basil’s reluctance useful. His old fame...

Henry Murray asks a gifted student to defend his beliefs, then arranges for those beliefs to be attacked while the student is strapped to a chair and monitored. The professor calls it an experiment. Young Ted Kaczynski thought he had been invited into an intellectual exchange, which makes the deception sting before the film asks us to think about anything Ted will do later. Russell Crowe plays Murray with the composure of a man who can describe cruelty as a research method and sleep perfectly well afterward. Jacob Tremblay gives Ted a brittle certainty in these scenes. He argues fiercely,...

Cathcarts works in dark rooms that seem to have inherited their authority along with the furniture. Across London, Taylor & Byrne conducts business behind glass, its bright offices advertising a cleaner way to practice law. The contrast is so legible it could belong in a pitch deck. Serena Byrne left Cathcarts to build something better with her husband, Nicholas Taylor, and the two firms now face each other across a divorce case. The interesting question is how long Taylor & Byrne can keep the promise its office makes. An answer begins to form around a photograph. Actress Carla Duval has...

Max Wren intends to transfer his documentary about Lenore to VHS. The choice seems affectionate until one looks at how he works. Surrounded by monitors and video equipment, he replays the missing influencer’s posts, records their supposed common interests and speaks to her image as if a reply might come. A tape would let him hold on to someone who has disappeared from the internet. It would also give his version of her a permanence she never agreed to. Sam’s arrival makes Max harder to dismiss as an isolated aberration. He brings footage of Lenore and his own resentment at...

The flashback that shows Sarah warning against a winter birth at the remote cabin changes the meaning of her presence there. She has advised Goody to stay within reach of a hospital. Goody refuses, and Sarah agrees to attend because she fears the family will proceed without her. Raymond Creamer gives his midwife a choice in which professional judgment and professional duty pull in opposite directions. Leaving would vindicate her advice. Staying might keep someone safe. Back at the birthing pool, the household has arranged itself around Goody’s certainty. Her husband Jayson offers reassurance, his sister Candace serves as doula,...
