Featuring sizzling performances from Amanda Seyfri Featuring sizzling performances from Amanda Seyfried and Scoot McNairy, the latest from indie icon Tim Blake Nelson is a psychologically rich tale exploring themes of crime and punishment, desperation and retribution — and the strange ways lonely hearts sometimes connect.

Karen (Seyfried) is a teacher who finds work at a maximum security prison. It’s there that she encounters Wilson (McNairy), an inmate whose arresting charisma and unexpected tenderness pierce the emotional armour Karen has cultivated over the course of her abusive marriage. The charge between the two is undeniable, leading Karen to risk everything for the possibility of Wilson’s freedom.

Set in Nelson’s home state of Oklahoma, The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd poses tough questions regarding American justice and the moral purpose of incarceration. The film is also the finest example yet of the writer-director-actor’s singular ability to follow troubled characters as they tumble headlong into unfathomable dilemmas.
Darlene Love generously shares her story in the la Darlene Love generously shares her story in the latest of Canadian director @barryavrich22 and produced by @tarajiphenson .

Now in her eighties and still utterly magnetic on camera and on stage, Darlene Love recounts her journey, starting with her early days singing in a church choir in Los Angeles. Then came the many years she spent providing lead and background vocals, often uncredited, for some of the biggest hits of the 1960s while under contract to Phil Spector, the superstar producer who became her nemesis. Indeed, Spector’s machinations sparked decades of intense professional and personal struggles. Yet, despite every setback, Love weathered the storm to claim the centre-stage spotlight she has always deserved.

It all makes for an incredible story full of triumphs, heartbreaks, and inspirational demonstrations of resilience. It’s no wonder Love attracted so many friends along the way. Avrich assembles a who’s who of luminaries — Cher, Dionne Warwick, Bruce Springsteen, and David Letterman, among others — to express their admiration and affection.

Of course, there’s plenty of music to savour here, too. Along with a trove of archival clips, Avrich’s film features thrilling new sequences of Love and guest musicians like Paul Shaffer performing her most treasured songs, including “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” the holiday song that made Darlene Love the indisputable Queen of Christmas. 🎄
