Discover the latest TV shows and movies to enjoy or skip this week, from ‘The Brutalist’ to the ‘Jerry Springer’ documentary.
Toronto: With awards season heating up after the Golden Globes, it’s a great time to catch up on films that might snag some awards. There’s a lot of new content coming out this week, so if you’re unsure what to watch, I’ve got you covered.
Brady Corbet’s film, The Brutalist, just won Best Picture for a drama at the Globes. It’s now showing in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. If you’re into medical dramas, check out The Pitt on Crave in Canada or Max in the U.S. It might just reignite your love for the genre.
Every week, Yahoo Canada breaks down the latest TV shows and movies, giving you the lowdown on what’s worth your time and what you might want to skip.
First up is The Brutalist, which is a big deal. It’s a lengthy film, but it’s beautifully made and tells a powerful story about a Hungarian-Jewish architect who survives the Holocaust. It’s emotional and really sticks with you.
Then there’s Better Man, a biopic about Robbie Williams. It’s a bit quirky, with him being portrayed as a monkey at times, but it’s a fun ride. The film has brought a lot of attention back to his music, especially in North America.
Next, we have The Pitt. I went in thinking it would be just another medical drama, but it surprised me. The fast-paced energy kept me glued to the screen. It’s set in a trauma hospital in Pittsburgh, and it’s super addictive.
Also, don’t miss Young Werther. It’s a charming film that modernizes an 18th-century novel into a romantic comedy. It’s funny and explores friendship in a really engaging way.
Lastly, there’s the two-part Netflix documentary Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action. It dives into the wild world of the show, but I wish it went deeper into the behind-the-scenes stuff. It’s definitely a trip down memory lane.
