R | 1h 32m | Drama | November 4, 2022 “Causeway” is a kind of comeback for Jennifer Lawrence, who hit the big screen in the neo-Western “Winter’s Bone” in 2010, and rocketed to the type of superstardom that got her the nickname J-Law (like J-Lo, K-Stew, Li-Lo, and so on).

Opera Review: ‘Don Carlos’: A Sweeping Canvas of 16th-Century Spain
CHICAGO—“Don Carlos” is considered by many opera lovers to be Verdi’s greatest work, and for good reason.
