Film Forum · Manhattan
A young prosecutor's promise to right a 1937 Soviet injustice leads him into a bureaucratic trap from which there's no waking. Sergei Loznitsa's hypnotic legal thriller is Kafkaesque nightmare with shivers of bitter wit: a totalitarian horror story that speaks urgently to the present.

Elizabeth Holmes, 34 days from prison: Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's camera is there, and it stays for three years. A Theranos portrait that keeps mutating into something stranger.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
