Michelle Buteau and Ilana Glazer star as two childhood friends supporting each other through the challenges of adulting in “Babes.”
Here’s more on that film and other entertainment highlights this weekend →
“Babes,” a comedy about pregnancy, single motherhood and female friendships directed by Pamela Adlon, has “substance” and “talent in spades,” though it may have “needed a little more time to gestate,” Alissa Wilkinson writes. The film arrives in theaters today.
Jenny Holzer’s “Light Line” at the Guggenheim Museum is both a retrospective and a reprise of her electronic-text installation on its rotunda 35 years ago. To mark the show’s opening, the museum will project her work on its facade every evening through Monday.
The impact of Roger Corman, who died last week at 98, on independent filmmaking is “almost impossible to measure,” our critic writes. You can honor his legacy with a binge fest of his movies, from “A Bucket of Blood” on AMC+ to “Masque of the Red Death,” which you can rent on most major platforms.
Drawing from pop culture influences such as French New Wave cinema and Resident Evil, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is “like wandering in memories and dreams,” says Simon Flesser of Simogo, the developer of the puzzle game. It is now available on Nintendo Switch and Steam.
At New York Botanical Garden’s opening celebration for its exhibition “Wonderland: Curious Nature,” based on the Lewis Carroll classic, you will have your pick of fantastical adventures. The festivities, held on Saturday and Sunday, are among our picks for entertainment in and around the city.
