She’s the Best is a frank deconstruction of Sivan’s party-boy façade, grounded in exploring his motivations for that lifestyle and the needs that drive him. This album is not afraid of its own agonizing lows or tethered to a toe-tapping dance-pop initiative; reveling in this ever-molting freedom, Sivan drops what is easily his finest collection of songs to date. |

The feat of climbing Mount Everest has basically become a pay-to-access tourist attraction that’s adding to our climate-change crisis. This biopic of Himalayan climber Tenzing Norgay, one of the first two men to ever summit the mountain, is a nostalgic portrait of a time when the mountain still held wonder and represented discovery more than commerce. The film is mostly standard hagiography, but when it grapples with Tenzing’s (Genden Phuntsok) desire to prove himself both to his countrymen and to the British climbing team that only sees him as a Sherpa, the specificity of its underdog story feels universal.
