A&E

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that documentary filmmaker Lance Oppenheim’s feature film directorial debut “Primetime” (A24) is as grainy and dimly lit as it is. The visual effects are befitting the gritty and gloomy subject matter: a dramatized look at the Dateline NBC reality show To Catch a Predator, a hidden camera program in which adult men were confronted and then arrested for arranging sexual encounters with underage people.

Congrats to Island City Stage! (ICS) It received three Carbonell nominations for “Ruthless” including Lindsey Corey for outstanding performance in a lead role, David Hart for sound design, and Andy Rogow for direction, as well as two for “Everything Beautiful Happens at Night” for outstanding performance in a lead role for Laura Turnbull and Bong Redila for his illustrations.

Fall is here, and apparently so is the perfect excuse to fill our shelves with a little more magic, romance and danger. This week’s picks bring fae, fierce heroines, complicated love stories and, yes, plenty of yearning.

The backdrop for Mexican singer-songwriter Silvana Estrada’s last performance in Miami could not have been more dramatic. It was a brunchtime show at the 2023 Ground Up Festival on a sofa-strewn second floor with huge plate glass windows looking out at the beach. As Estrada sang, accompanied only by her Venezuelan cuatro, rain poured down in torrents behind her, waves the size of semi-trucks crashed ashore and palm fronds stood out sideways from their trunks, whipped from the north by tropical storm-force winds. Both the singer and the weather gods put on a spellbinding performance.
