Juliet Evancho is finally at peace with her body.
The 18-year-old Pittsburgh native recently became one of the faces of the transgender rights movement after younger sister Jackie Evancho — a classical crossover singer who placed second on America’s Got Talent in 2010 — performed the national anthem at President Donald Trump‘s inauguration on Jan. 20. But Juliet wasn’t in the Capital Mall crowd for the controversial appearance. She was in Philadelphia, undergoing sex reassignment surgery.
“Everyone on social media was like, ‘She doesn’t support her sister because she’s singing for Trump,'” Juliet says in the new issue of People.

So many low-budget American indies are about stunted twentysomethings who return to their childhood homes in order to achieve some great personal catharsis, but so few of them understand what home really means, or know how to find it. It’s been more than a decade since “Garden State” enshrined that template for a new generation of filmmakers, yet Zach Clark’s weird, winsome, and wonderful “Little Sister” is one of the few movies that has used it to tell a story that feels indivisibly true to itself.
“Fail to see the tragic, turn it into magic!” The Marilyn Manson lyric that flashes on screen before the first shot does a nice job of framing the film’s characters, but it could just as easily be describing how Clark takes a trite premise and mines it for something genuinely special.
You know how pat this usually plays out: A creatively...

Chicago – Ole Bornedal’s “Deliver Us From Evil” is a superb B-movie that occasionally threatens to become something more substantial. It has the misfortune of being saddled with one of the most overused titles of recent years, though I am certain no one will be confusing it with Amy Berg’s brutal yet vital 2006 documentary on sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. Bornedal’s film is brutally dark yet also darkly humorous.
From the very first fade-in to the last droll frame, the picture is awash in the desaturated colors and harshly lensed grime that are commonplace in Danish cinema, which seems to perpetually exist beneath a dark cloud. An oddly inviting narrator sets up the action in deceptively peaceful western Jutland, while hinting at its more malicious undertones. There’s a memorable early moment when devoted mother Pernille (Lene Nystrøm) attempts to teach her children that there are no evil people,...

The Danger After Dark film festival will host a series of horror and action thrillers at this years event. Included in the line-up are Big Tits Zombie 3-D, The Life and Death of a Porno Gang, RoboGeisha and Ole Bornedal's Dutch language film Fri Os Fra Det Onde (Deliver Us From Evil).
