Blanchett, who plays a pair of sisters with Vicky Krieps in the slice-of-life tale of three different families, positively beamed as the applause roared in the Sala Grande theater.

Jim Jarmusch’s Father Mother Sister Brother finds the director in a minor key, which is sometimes his best key.

After decades of debauchery and an untold number of conceptions, revelers at Burning Man celebrated a rare birth at Black Rock City on Wednesday morning, after a festivalgoer unexpectedly went into labor on the Playa. “It’s an absolute miracle,” said new father Kasey, 39, of Salt Lake City, who asked that only the family’s first names be used to protect …

No actor defined the 2010s more than Jennifer Lawrence. Less than halfway into the decade, at the age of 22, Lawrence had won the hearts of audiences as the hero Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, and a best actress Oscar for her performance in Silver Linings Playbook (famously tripping en route to accept it).
