The Northman is a period action drama with supernatural leanings that's five times bloodier than Braveheart, nearly as nutty as The Green Knight, and just as divisive as you'd expect from the filmmaker whose two previous features were the talking-goat freakout The Witch and the two-man fever dream The Lighthouse.

Winner of the Best Documentary citation at the Raw Science Film Festival and the Grand Jury Award at the Greenport Film Festival, the informative, entertaining documentary Microplastic Madness serves as the final presentation in River Action's 2022 Environmental Film Series, the Figge Art Museum's April 24 offering lauded by Film Threat as a work that “bleeds authenticity” and “demonstrates the level of passion and activism that can lead to actual change from younger generations.”

Patrons of the Figge Art Museum's "Films at the Figge" series will be treated to both an Academy Award nominee and an Emmy Award nominee on April 14 when the Davenport venue hosts screenings of two critically lauded documentaries about disparate artists: Cavedigger, an exploration into the work of sculptor Ra Paulette, and Which Way Is the Front Line from Here?, a salute to the late, Oscar-nominated photo-journalist Tim Hetherington.

Congratulations! You've managed to land on the one Oscars postmortem you'll read today whose author won't detail the experience of watching Will Smith slap Chris Rock on live television! I didn't see it!
