Wrote about Taylor Swift, #LoveStoryTaylorsVersion , and the surprising depth of this first step in her re-recording quest, for @TheAtlantic :

Taylor Swift Misses the Old Taylor Swift, Too

The artist’s first release from her re-recording project is much more than a nostalgia play. It’s a love letter.

Why are Asian actors regularly ignored for awards, when their projects are not? For @TheAtlantic , I look at their invisibility as, in a painful year for Asians in America, Hollywood has a chance to undo the damage with the wonderful, wonderful #Minari :

The Invisible Artistry of Asian Actors

'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.' 'Slumdog Millionaire.' 'Parasite.' And now, 'Minari.' For years, Asian performers have been overlooked for awards, even when they star in critically acclaimed films.

#TheCrown 's sharp, splashy, and foreboding fourth season is more critical of the royals than ever, painting the queen as an out-of-touch traditionalist. It's terrific. For @TheAtlantic :

'The Crown' Takes the Shine Off Queen Elizabeth’s Reign

In its fourth season, the Netflix drama is sharper than ever as it paints a portrait of an out-of-touch ruler caught off guard by change.

If I had my way, my review of Decision to Leave would just be this emoji,🥵, over and over, but that wouldn't be fair to Park Chan-wook, whose latest film is top-to-bottom sensual cinema perfection. My latest, for @TheAtlantic :

'Decision to Leave' Is This Century’s First Great Erotic Thriller

Park Chan-wook’s riveting new film is unconventionally sensual, modernizing a genre that’s grown stale in recent decades.

'Past Lives' is soaring and sensitive—and perhaps my favorite film of the year so far. For @TheAtlantic , I spoke with its writer-director, Celine Song ( @helloellephanta ), about how she created a love story that's timed to perfection.

A Love That Can Be at Once Platonic and Romantic

In "Past Lives," distance and quiet are key to understanding a soaring intimacy.

My latest for @TheAtlantic , on @TraceeEllisRoss , the actor, entrepreneur, and Girlfriend through thick and thin. She's the captain of her own ocean liner of a career now. (You'll see.)

Tracee Ellis Ross Felt Lost in Hollywood. Then She Changed Course.

The 'Black-ish' star and Emmy nominee figured she’d made it when she scored the lead role in the early-2000s sitcom 'Girlfriends.' But it would be 14 more years before she hit her stride.
