The Perfect Guy is the kind of movie you keep wishing would just cut loose and go off the deep end. Nobody goes to these Fatal Attraction retreads anymore for serious drama. But this one is a movie torn — too grim and self-important to go truly nuts, but too silly and slipshod to work on a more somber level. Sanaa Lathan plays Leah, a hotshot exec at a political-consulting firm who ditches her boyfriend of two years, David (Morris Chestnut), after it becomes clear that he’s not ready to marry her.
Spoilers below for Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House and its ending.
Trauma builds walls. Left untended, they keep going up. Soon, you’re trapped in a house of its making: long hallways leading nowhere, empty rooms, doors that swing open and slam shut by the weather of your moods. You climb the stairs and shout through the windows, hungry for a way out, lost in the labyrinthine sinew of personal devastation.

Now with shorter hair. Jennifer Lawrence is a great many things, including an Oscar-winning actress, a Most Valuable Stars ascendant, and an unintentionally snotty kisser. But above all else, Jennifer Lawrence is the most relentlessly quotable A-list actress we’ve got, and with a Hunger Games sequel soon to premiere (and American Hustle looming at Christmas), she’s back out on the promo trail, and we have resurrected our Friday feature “This Week in Jennifer Lawrence Quotes” accordingly.
Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant. Early in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s survival saga The Revenant, I gasped “Bloody hell!,” meaning both “What an amazing filmmaker!” and “Get me out of here!” The movie is visceral with a side of viscera. The Hollywood columnist who wrote that it was too “unflinchingly brutal” for women was justly ridiculed, but he did pick up on something that’s there: Watching it is meant to be a test of a certain kind of “manliness.
Jim Parsons as the Big Bang. For all its celebration of personal liberty and countercultural fabulousness, Broadway is actually a fairly God-positive place. Producers are not, after all, in the business of alienating potential audiences with gratuitous sacrilege. The nuns in Sister Act are sassy, not schismatic; Tevye’s a hondler, not an apostate. Even The Book of Mormon, for all its nose-thumbing, ends up endorsing the irrational power of faith in the same way it endorses the irrational power of musicals.
Onstage at the Public, Tiny Beautiful Things. In the spirit of “Dear Sugar,” an honest confession: Up till now, I’ve steered clear of the work of Cheryl Strayed. I’m skeptical of Passion Planners, and I make a sharp turn in Barnes & Noble when I encounter the table displaying Eat, Pray, Love and The Desire Map. Really, it’s not the authors of these books I’m avoiding — it’s the warm, fuzzy cult of #selfcare that tends to cocoon around them.
Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken On its surface, Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is like any number of other films we’ve already seen: An awkward teenager tries to fit in, winds up humiliated, but then discovers that they’re special in their own way. With a variation here or there, the template can accommodate everything from She’s All That to Cinderella to Spider-Man to Carrie. In the case of this movie, however, like the title says, our nerdy, lovesick 15-year-old heroine (voiced by Lana Condor) isn’t just wondering whom she can ask out to prom or if the popular new girl at school will befriend her or why her parents are so strict with her.
