New House, No Debt: Michigan or Kentucky?...

Hell hath no fury like an overprotective mom in Lifetime Movie Network’s latest thriller, When Mom Becomes a Murderer.

It’s obviously a ridiculous title that initially seems to reveal all of the movie’s cards, which is frustrating considering that the first two acts treats everything as a mystery. Thankfully writers Declan Dineen, Lucy Foster and Victoria Saxton have a few additional surprises up their sleeves.

Unlike many other recent Lifetime films, there’s an earnest straightforwardness to When Mom Becomes A Murderer. The film opens with recent high school graduate Ellie (Matreya Scarrwener) securing the win for her debate team, much to the delight of her principal father Nathan (Roark Critchlow) and high school counsellor mother Marion (Lauren K. Robek).

Almost immediately, however, Ellie’s good girl status is put in question when she locks eyes with a cute boy post-debate and secretly plans to go clubbing...

The writer has made the leap into film with Janet Planet, about a mother and daughter drifting apart on a hippy commune. She talks about how it echoes her own upbringing – and why her younger self would be horrified

In the back of Annie Baker’s office at home in New York, a spectral presence is just visible in silhouette against the window. It turns out there is not just one, but two cats hidden among the desks and shelves. Baker swivels around a spare chair to reveal Carla, then gestures behind. “This is Bobik,” she says of the one basking in the feline window hammock. “It’s the name of an offstage character in a Chekhov play.”

Baker is a master of the unspoken and unseen. A Chekhov nut, she is one of her generation’s most lauded playwrights, telling eerily intimate stories that alight on overlooked corners of humanity.

The summer of 2020 shouldn’t project beautiful memories onto the brain maps of those who endured it, but Theda Hammel’s anxiety-addled screwball feature debut “Stress Positions,” set around that Covid Fourth of July in New York, asks you to relive the scary days of sheltering in place, banging pots and pans in solidarity with health care workers, and social distancing whenever it was convenient or made you look like you stood for something.

“Stress Positions” mines the gap between the dark bookend of events that shaped millennial lives — September 11 and the pandemic — and that between liberal-posturing millennials and a Gen Z with a less fussy, more hopeful worldview. Hammel’s muses and emissaries on either side of the dichotomy in a comedy swirling with ideas are comedian John Early as a gay soon-to-be-divorcee and Qaher Harhash as his nephew, a 19-year-old Moroccan model with identity-shifting questions of his own.
