For movie nerds like yours truly who grew up in the late 90s and early 2000s on films like Gregg Araki’s The Doom Generation and Rob Schmidt’s Crime and Punishment in Suburbia, an outrageous horror comedy with nods to QAnon is an easy movie to love. Thankfully, Dutch Southern’s quirky Only the Good Survive rises the occasion. In the days before streaming, this SXSW premiere feels like one of those late-night movies about which word spread amongst kids around your high school lunch table.
Never Rarely Sometimes Always break-out Sidney Flanigan plays Brea, an adopted young woman separated from her sister who is in search of both her family and a family. She finds herself on the wrong side of an interrogation table as the local sheriff for this backwater, Cole Mack (played by ’90s indie film staple Fred Weller), tries piecing together the sordid state of...

Updated with trailer: Hulu is continuing its documentary push. The streamer has landed the U.S. rights to Homeroom, a feature doc from Peter Nicks and exec produced by Ryan Coogler. Watch the first trailer above and see the key art below.
Homeroom, which was an official selection at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, is the final chapter in a trilogy of films examining the relationship between health care, criminal justice, and education in Oakland, CA over the past decade.
Nicks previously directed 2012’s The Waiting Room, set in a public hospital, and 2017’s The Force, which covers the troubled Oakland Police Department, both of which will also be streaming on Hulu.
The film follows Oakland High School’s class of 2020 as they confront an unprecedented year. Anxiety over test scores and college applications gives way to uncertainty springing from a rapidly developing pandemic. Efforts to eliminate the school...

Netflix has some competition in the streaming universe. Even if the streaming giant is still pretty much the king of the streaming services, it’s no longer the only major player in the game: The past few years have seen the launch of dozens of platforms for streaming entertainment, such as Disney+, Hulu, Paramount+, HBO Max, and many of them have as robust (or even better) offerings as the streaming giant.
Even better are the smaller ones that appeal to a very specific group of fans, like the horror streaming service Shudder, or the foreign-language TV channel packages available via Sling TV.

Conchata Ferrell, best known for her role as Berta the housekeeper on “Two and a Half Men,” died on Tuesday in Sherman Oaks, a rep for Warner Bros. Television confirmed to Variety. She was 77.
“Two and a Half Men” creator and executive producer Chuck Lorre described Ferrell as “one of the greats.”
“We called her Chatty. And we all loved her,” Lorre said in a statement. “Twelve years of highs and lows, and lots and lots of laughter. Through it all she was a rock. One of the greats. I was privileged to call her a friend.”
“We are saddened by the loss of Conchata Ferrell and are grateful for the years she brought us laughs as Berta which will live on forever,” Warner Bros. TV, the studio behind “Two and a Half Men,” tweeted.

“Time” is a movie about the aftermath of a crime that tells you very little about the crime, or the trial that followed, or the legal arguments that tried to get a man out of jail for decades. Instead, it focuses on one thing: the people who are affected, inside but mostly outside the jail.
You could call it a film about crime and justice, but it’s really a film about humanity.
In recent years, we’ve seen a string of disquieting films about miscarriages of justice and about the mass incarceration of young Black men, among them “13,” “The Central Park Five,” “Crime + Punishment” and “Copwatch.” But Garrett Bradley’s “Time” never comes across like an issue film, because it speaks to the issues by showing the people; it’s closer to a doc like “Hale County This Morning, This Evening” in that it’s an artful...
