Chloe herself isn’t the type of heroine you often see in romance novels—she’s plus-size and dealing with serious chronic illness that Hibbert depicts with compassion and bone-aching realism. Chloe is also a computer nerd who loves to make lists, and after a near-miss car accident, she makes herself a “Get a Life” list. Will getting a life somehow involve her smokin’ hot apartment superintendent “Red” Morgan, who has long red hair, a motorcycle, and is secretly a talented painter? YOU BET. Chloe and Red have chemistry that practically burns up the page, the supporting cast (including Chloe’s sequel-bait sisters) are funny and well-rounded, and the conflicts and obstacles feel organic.

Knope is a well-meaning bureaucrat, though not always the brightest bulb—who fervently believes that the government of her small Indiana town could make things better for everybody. Unfortunately, she is surrounded by a hapless crew of oddballs who keep making that task tougher and tougher. Bingeing old \u003cem>Parks and Rec\u003c/em> episodes not only gives you a look at ace performers like Chris Pratt, Nick Offerman, Aziz Ansari, Aubrey Plaza and Retta before they became superstars, it’s also a wonderful comedy centered on a super dysfunctional work family trying to make government a little better.

(If you’ve spent any time in management, I don’t need to tell you how joyous the sight of people \u003cem>just doing the damn jobs you told them to do \u003c/em>can be.) Inevitably, because even pixelated humans are human, war comes—enemy troops descend on you, or you descend on your enemies. Some delight in this later stage of the game, as they relish the strategy and tactics of combat—but me, I’m happiest when a new game begins, and a tiny little dude with a tiny little wheelbarrow looks up at me expectantly, just wanting to be \u003cem>of use\u003c/em>.

I make this soup when people are sick, or are having babies. I make it when the news is scary. I make it when the kale looks nice at the farmer’s market. I make it when I just have nothing else to do. It’s gluten- and dairy-free, so it works for a variety of diets and restrictions. (I’m sure you could make it vegetarian—just leave out the chicken. Maybe add some chickpeas.) It feels healthy and it comes together fast. When I made it yesterday, I didn’t have peanuts, and I used Japanese white sweet potatoes and added fish sauce.

"content": "\u003cp>Late in Eliza Hittman’s \u003cem>Never Rarely Sometimes Always\u003c/em>, 17-year-old Autumn (Sidney Flanigan), who is pregnant and in all kinds of trouble, calls her mother from a public bathroom far from her Pennsylvania coal-town home. Her mother asks where she is in a quavering child’s voice. After a pause Autumn hangs up, inspects herself in the bathroom mirror, and squares her shoulders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you saw Hittman’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2014/03/20/291137541/a-teen-on-the-hunt-and-maybe-in-over-her-head\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>It Felt Like Love\u003c/em>\u003c/a> (2013) or her \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/08/24/545479122/-beach-rats-a-young-man-on-a-collision-course-with-himself\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Beach Rats\u003c/em>\u003c/a> (2017), you’ll know that the writer-director has little use for exposition. Her scripts are as spare as her soundtracks, so we can’t be sure whether this is a coming-of-age moment for Autumn. To the extent that \u003cem>Never Rarely Sometimes Always\u003c/em> (the title is drawn from a standard questionnaire administered by abortion providers) is a social issue movie, it’s “about” reproductive rights in the same way that the formally similar recent film \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13874000/the-assistant-helps-explain-how-predatory-behavior-stays-hidden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>The Assistant\u003c/em>\u003c/a> is “about” sexual assault. Meaning that Hittman attends with near-reverent care to the subjective experience of a traumatized soul who’s struggling to take charge of her own destiny. An exacting but artfully suggestive realist, the director offers many mirror shots of Autumn to let us into the interior life of a proud, obstinate young woman confronting a neglectful or hostile adult world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flanigan, a Buffalo musician in her first acting role, serves up a held-in Autumn whose dull eyes and sullen glower barely conceal the tumult seething inside her. Certain that she wants to terminate her pregnancy but lacking support and money, she turns to a testing clinic that turns out to be an anti-abortion center where, through ineptitude or ulterior motive, she is fed inaccurate information about how far along she is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tagging along behind her devoted cousin Skylar (Talia Ryder), Autumn heads for New York City, where the camera holds tight on the two girls as they stumble through numerous obstacles in search of safety and self-definition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjw_QTKr2rc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where Skylar is practical and fun-loving, Autumn is introverted, intense, socially unskilled. Hittman is powerfully attuned to the unquestioning solidarity and indomitable moxie of teenaged girls, the wordless ways in which they fight and make up—quite literally in fact, when, after a quarrel, Skylar applies concealer under her cousin’s eyes. Without a word of apology or defensive self-justification, the two are good to go even though they have nowhere to spend the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet \u003cem>Never Rarely\u003c/em> also made me wonder how neo-realism can tip over into partisan over-determinism, distortion, or plain miserabilism? Riveting when it stays within Autumn’s point of view, the film wields a heavy hand with the bigger picture of family, authority and most of all, men-in-general. The pro-lifers are soft-spoken liars, the abortion clinic staff uniformly kind and sensitive. Autumn’s mother, played with hauntingly ineffectual anxiety by singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten, is a cipher, pathetically dependent on her boor of a husband (Ryan Eggold), who is not Autumn’s father in any sense and is one of several suspects in her pregnancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hittman’s films are littered with hopelessly checked-out parents, crudely drawn figures of authority who are either all friend or all enemy, savagely predatory men. While Autumn might be forgiven for viewing the outside world through this jaundiced prism, I’m not sure Hittman can. Her legitimate subject is the hair-raising vulnerability—and robust fortitude—of young women today. But she tends to put the entire male species on trial and have them come up wanting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a parent and teacher as well as a critic, it worries me when a young woman filmmaker paints a landscape peopled (unless you count the beleaguered gay teen in \u003cem>Beach Rats\u003c/em>) by woman-hating men. The closest to a decent male in Autumn’s orbit is the harmlessly horny young doofus (a very good Théodore Pellerin) who has his eye on pretty Skylar. Watching \u003cem>Never Rarely Sometimes Always\u003c/em>, I was reminded of a young stranger who, when my own daughter had had too much to drink at a bar, put her and her best friend in his car and dropped them safely off at our home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, you know: \u003cem>sometimes\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.

Her mother asks where she is in a quavering child’s voice. After a pause Autumn hangs up, inspects herself in the bathroom mirror, and squares her shoulders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you saw Hittman’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2014/03/20/291137541/a-teen-on-the-hunt-and-maybe-in-over-her-head\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>It Felt Like Love\u003c/em>\u003c/a> (2013) or her \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/08/24/545479122/-beach-rats-a-young-man-on-a-collision-course-with-himself\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Beach Rats\u003c/em>\u003c/a> (2017), you’ll know that the writer-director has little use for exposition. Her scripts are as spare as her soundtracks, so we can’t be sure whether this is a coming-of-age moment for Autumn. To the extent that \u003cem>Never Rarely Sometimes Always\u003c/em> (the title is drawn from a standard questionnaire administered by abortion providers) is a social issue movie, it’s “about” reproductive rights in the same way that the formally similar recent film \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13874000/the-assistant-helps-explain-how-predatory-behavior-stays-hidden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>The Assistant\u003c/em>\u003c/a> is “about” sexual assault. Meaning that Hittman attends with near-reverent care to the subjective experience of a traumatized soul who’s struggling to take charge of her own destiny. An exacting but artfully suggestive realist, the director offers many mirror shots of Autumn to let us into the interior life of a proud, obstinate young woman confronting a neglectful or hostile adult world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flanigan, a Buffalo musician in her first acting role, serves up a held-in Autumn whose dull eyes and sullen glower barely conceal the tumult seething inside her. Certain that she wants to terminate her pregnancy but lacking support and money, she turns to a testing clinic that turns out to be an anti-abortion center where, through ineptitude or ulterior motive, she is fed inaccurate information about how far along she is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tagging along behind her devoted cousin Skylar (Talia Ryder), Autumn heads for New York City, where the camera holds tight on the two girls as they stumble through numerous obstacles in search of safety and self-definition.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/hjw_QTKr2rc'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/hjw_QTKr2rc'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hittman is powerfully attuned to the unquestioning solidarity and indomitable moxie of teenaged girls, the wordless ways in which they fight and make up—quite literally in fact, when, after a quarrel, Skylar applies concealer under her cousin’s eyes. Without a word of apology or defensive self-justification, the two are good to go even though they have nowhere to spend the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet \u003cem>Never Rarely\u003c/em> also made me wonder how neo-realism can tip over into partisan over-determinism, distortion, or plain miserabilism? Riveting when it stays within Autumn’s point of view, the film wields a heavy hand with the bigger picture of family, authority and most of all, men-in-general. The pro-lifers are soft-spoken liars, the abortion clinic staff uniformly kind and sensitive. Autumn’s mother, played with hauntingly ineffectual anxiety by singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten, is a cipher, pathetically dependent on her boor of a husband (Ryan Eggold), who is not Autumn’s father in any sense and is one of several suspects in her pregnancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hittman’s films are littered with hopelessly checked-out parents, crudely drawn figures of authority who are either all friend or all enemy, savagely predatory men. While Autumn might be forgiven for viewing the outside world through this jaundiced prism, I’m not sure Hittman can. Her legitimate subject is the hair-raising vulnerability—and robust fortitude—of young women today. But she tends to put the entire male species on trial and have them come up wanting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a parent and teacher as well as a critic, it worries me when a young woman filmmaker paints a landscape peopled (unless you count the beleaguered gay teen in \u003cem>Beach Rats\u003c/em>) by woman-hating men. The closest to a decent male in Autumn’s orbit is the harmlessly horny young doofus (a very good Théodore Pellerin) who has his eye on pretty Skylar. Watching \u003cem>Never Rarely Sometimes Always\u003c/em>, I was reminded of a young stranger who, when my own daughter had had too much to drink at a bar, put her and her best friend in his car and dropped them safely off at our home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, you know: \u003cem>sometimes\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.
