On TV this week…
Being Mary Tyler Moore
Get a deeper understanding of the TV titan, from her start as Happy Hotpoint, the dancing elf selling refrigerators; to her smash-hit shows with Dick Van Dyke and Ed Asner and her work in movies like Ordinary People, which showed her darker side; and Flirting With Disaster, which revealed a more irreverent comedic style. She and many famous friends explain her family tragedies and heroic battle with diabetes. As she told one pal in her last years, “It feels great to remember!”

Darkest Hour (2017)
Gary Oldman, 65, won an Oscar and AARP’s Movies for Grownups Best Actor award playing the cantankerous but crafty Winston Churchill leading the U.K. at the height of World War II. Indeed, Joe Wright’s film zeroes in on a one-month span in 1940 when Churchill became prime minister and resisted internal calls to seek a peace settlement with Hitler amid the Nazis’ aerial bombardment. It’s a riveting look at a great man that neither canonizes nor deflates him.

What’s new at the movies…
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ About My Father, R
Sebastian Maniscalco’s love letter to his real-life Sicilian-born father, Salvatore, About My Father could have been a cheese-fest — complete with Robert De Niro, 79, hamming it up in crazy dad shorts, cooking pasta and shouting in Italian in a plot involving Maniscalco (playing himself) dragging his working-class dad to meet his rich, waspy future in-laws. But thanks to a sharp script cowritten by Maniscalco that’s reminiscent of De Niro’s hits Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers, the 90-minute film is both touching and funny — it got big laughs from a screening room full of tough New York City critics. The stellar cast helps, including Leslie Bibb as Maniscalco’s girlfriend and Kim Cattrall, 66, and David Rasche, 78, as her quirky but game parents. Maniscalco and De Niro have great chemistry, but surprisingly it’s Rasche (Karl on Succession), who steals every scene he’s in. Co-screenwriter Laura Terruso, whose mom is an immigrant from Sicily, said she wanted to make a film that parents, grandparents and kids could enjoy. Mission accomplished. —Dana Kennedy (D.K.)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You Hurt My Feelings, R
Scorsese has DiCaprio. Director Nicole Holofcener, 63, has Julia Louis-Dreyfus, 62 (Seinfeld, Veep), a comedienne with pinpoint timing who has the power to blatantly misbehave and charm nonetheless. In You Hurt My Feelings, the trouble begins when Manhattan author Beth (Louis-Dreyfus) overhears her therapist husband (The Crown’s Tobias Menzies) confiding his equivocal opinion of her unpublished novel to their brother-in-law, an actor (Arian Moayed). She immediately unravels — but doesn’t confront him. Instead, Beth goes on a neurotic bender, freaking out about her partner’s gaslighting, her literary ambitions, her maternal failures, and her inability to ever feel satisfied. When is having enough, enough? Swift, strongly acted, with sharp dialogue and wicked insight, You Hurt My Feelings finds the bitter humor in the minor apocalypses of the bourgeoisie. Together, Holofcener and Louis-Dreyfus have upended the modern romantic comedy. —Thelma M. Adams (T.M.A.)
