We as the audience learn alongside Stevenson about the criminal justice system and its failings when it comes to BIPOC cit- izens. Stream it on HBO Max or rent it from Amazon, iTunes, Vudu or YouTube. “Uncorked” (2020) — The understated but surprisingly emotional Netflix origi- nal navigates its quiet blend of comedy and drama following the story of Elijah (Ma- moudou Athie), a young man who is caught between his dreams of becoming a master sommelier and his father’s (Courtney B. Vance) expectation that he take over the family barbecue business. Both are stub- born and their relationship suffers because of it, but over time and through tragedy they come to see things from the other’s perspec- tive. Stream it on Netflix. “Waves” (2019) — A gut-punch of a film, “Waves” changes up the typical cinematic structure by putting the shocking climax of the story smack dab in the middle. The emotional tale centers on a suburban Black family, specifically the two children, Tyler (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) and his younger sister, Emily (Taylor Russell). The first half of the film is fixed on Tyler, a high school wres- A24 Kelvin Harrison Jr. in a scene from “Waves” (2019). tling star who is pushed by his father (Ster- ling K. Brown) to be his best. But a shoulder injury leads Tyler toward sneaking oxycon- tin out of the medicine cabinet, drinking and light drug use, which escalates when he finds out his girlfriend is pregnant. At the halfway point, we switch perspectives from Tyler toward Emily and how she and her parents navigate the middle climax of the film, softly and gently coming to terms with what has happened. It is a beautiful movie that will make some weep. Stream it on Showtime or rent it from Amazon Prime, Google Play, or iTunes. ý Reporter: 541-383-0304, mwhittle@bendbulletin.com movie times for the week of feb. 18 ý Accessibility devices are available for some movies at Regal Old Mill Stadium 16 and IMAX and Sisters Movie House. ý ý BEND — MCMENAMINS McMenamins Old St. Francis School, 700 NW Bond St., Bend, 541-382-5174, mcmenamins.com ý ý ý ý ý The Croods: A New Age (PG) Thu: 5 News of the World (PG-13) Thu: 7:30 Screenings for Feb. 19-24 were not available at time of publication Younger than 21 may attend screenings if accompanied by a legal guardian.
