Movie Review: Jessica Chastain, Peter Sarsgaard anchor ‘Memory,’ a thorny drama with a tender heart

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:15:06 GMT

Pain and trauma permeate Michel Franco’s new drama “ Memory, ” about two lost souls who find surprising comfort in one another. Both Jessica Chastain’s Sylvia and Peter Sarsgaard’s Saul are hostage to their own minds, though in vastly different ways. Hers haunts her. His is failing rapidly. And neither are entirely trustworthy.“Memory,” expanding nationwide Friday, starts as a seemingly standard issue “damaged person” movie, introducing Chastain’s Sylvia celebrating 12 years of sobriety at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting that her 12-year-old attends with her. But there are layers to this dramatic mystery, compounded with unreliable narrators and moral grey areas. Before you know it, the film morphs from something familiar into something altogether unexpected.Though it is not easily categorizable, “Memory” is a thoughtful journey featuring very fine performances from both Chastain and Sarsgaard, who was rewarded with the best actor prize from the Venice Film Festival last fall.

(CNN) — Owen Monroe tenía 18 días cuando hizo historia al convertirse en la primera persona en el mundo en recibir un trasplante parcial de corazón.Su innovadora cirugía, realizada en 2022, incluso captó la atención de los guionistas de Hollywood, quienes entrelazaron su historia en un episodio reciente del drama médico de larga duración “Anatomía de Grey”.En un estudio publicado en la revista JAMA, sus médicos documentarán otro hito: por primera vez, el tejido utilizado para reparar el corazón de Owen ha crecido, un objetivo largamente buscado en este tipo de reparación.En el momento de su primera operación, el corazón de Owen era del tamaño de una fresa. Hoy, a los 20 meses de edad, es aproximadamente del tamaño de un albaricoque y las nuevas válvulas y vasos sanguíneos han seguido el ritmo de su crecimiento, lo que significa que, a diferencia de la mayoría de los niños que nacen con el mismo defecto, es posible que no necesite tener grandes cirugías cardiacas a lo largo de ...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:15:06 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Stock are slipping again on Wednesday as Wall Street’s slow start to 2024 carries into a second day.The S&P 500 was 0.6% lower in afternoon trading, though still within 2% of its record set exactly two years ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 224 points, or 0.6%, as of 12:31 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.9% lower.Some of last year’s biggest winners were again giving up some of their gains. Tesla fell 3.3% after soaring nearly 102% last year, for example. It and the other six “Magnificent 7” Big Tech stocks responsible for the majority of Wall Street’s returns last year have regressed some following their tremendous runs.The question hanging over the market is whether all the enthusiasm that helped stocks broadly rally for nine straight weeks into the start of this year was warranted. It was built on expectations that inflation has cooled enough for the Federal Reserve to not only halt its hikes to interest rates but to cut them sev...

Houthi militants will face as-yet-unspecified “consequences” if they continue to “threaten lives” and disrupt trade flows in the Red Sea, the United States and a host of international allies said in a new statement Wednesday.The joint missive — issued simultaneously by the governments of the U.S. Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom — stops short of spelling out how the allies plan to quell mounting turmoil in the Red Sea region.But it warns that recent events pose “a direct threat” to global trade and constitute “a significant international problem that demands collective action.”Sailors navigating the narrow Bab-el-Mandeb Strait — on a vital shipping route linking Europe to Asia — have in recent weeks faced drone strikes, missile attacks and hijackings by Iran-backed Houthi militants operating off the coast of Yemen.The Shia militant group insists it is only targeting shipping with links to Israel...

The Bears finish their season Sunday against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field (3:25 p.m., CBS-2).Brad Biggs answers questions about general manager Ryan Poles, Fields’ future, hypotheticals and much more in the latest Bears mailbag.Ryan Poles was in Kansas City when the Chiefs had Alex Smith, a serviceable and even popular quarterback, and traded up to the No. 10 spot to choose Patrick Mahomes. Fast-forward to 2024 and Ryan Poles finds himself on the precipice of a similar situation, only this time he’s in charge.
