After a compellingly melodic Loewe show of long-line traveling clothes in patchworks of washed linen, cotton and jersey, many of them grounded by suede sneakers with toes curling upward like a genie's sandals, the designer Jonathan Anderson shrugged.
|
|
The parents are more complexly written — and more compellingly acted — but even so, Nancy's insistence that, after a loveless marriage, she deserves a chance at authentic joy is as often as not played for dirty-talking-old-lady laughs.
|
|
The sheer excellence of Thrones shone through even in its earlier seasons, and from the moment Ned Stark's head tumbled off the chopping block in "Baelor," the stage was set for this compellingly violent character extravaganza to take over the world.
|
|
Their compellingly watchable exchange, which sidelined the other five candidates on stage, was ended by Marco Rubio, who said that he "hated to interrupt courtroom TV" and then tried to refocus the debate on attacks against President Barack Obama's record.
|
|
The White House, by contrast, never presented to the public or Washington a compellingly coherent argument for why its plan would improve health care in the US, or the lives of those who might be effected by the new legislation.
|
|
To one side of the stage, a trio of singers set a compellingly eerie mood, while a sinuous figure billed only as The Woman (Sheila Atim) threads her way through the action — a shape-shifting emblem, perhaps, of Africa itself.
|
|
"The Good Place," an unexpectedly profound sitcom, does a remarkable job of not only compellingly discussing morality, but also the persistence of human nature; all of this is accomplished while remaining both tasteful and immensely entertaining, leaving viewers wanting more.
|
|
Galactia is punished for her transgression, but only temporarily: The twists and turns paint a compellingly nuanced picture of a conservative society, and Ms. Cohendy's portrayal is attuned to the audacity and cost of a woman's artistic ambitions in it.
|
|
Hill held her own news conference on October 7 in Oklahoma, compellingly laying out her claims and increasing the national curiosity not only in what might have transpired between employee and boss, but how the Senate was treating the controversy.
|
|
There's no better perspective on how far we've come than seeing a once-upon-a-time stereotype, even one as compellingly watchable as Mr. Day-Lewis as Reynolds Woodcock (what a name), looming many feet high on the big screen.
|
|
The result is a slow-building coming-of-age story that is as heartbreaking as it is lovely, tragic without ever becoming sentimental, grounded but still compellingly shaded with a touch of American gothic here, a touch of speculative fiction there.
|
|
More compellingly, Urick — who does not appear in the documentary, though it's unclear whether he was invited to participate — has continually framed the case against Syed as "a routine case of domestic violence," a framing the documentary more or less disregards.
|
|
I don't know why the King is played by two tall men (Russell Janzen and Ask la Cour) as a single faceless, giant bivalve that magically sunders into two to reveal the Princess — but the effect is so compellingly fantastic that it's engrossing.
|
|
I suspect that, somewhat paradoxically, continuing to put forward candidates of color may be crucial to speaking more compellingly to white voters since they can speak credibly about a cross-racial politics without sounding like they are trying to sideline nonwhite people's concerns.
|
|
But no, I thought they were compellingly graceful and inhuman, and the way Villeneuve conceals them in fog helps make them eerie and a little outside the world, so they stay alien even once we've spent half the film looking at them.
|
|
The actress may not be the physical equal of some of the others, but she compellingly conveys Lena's fierce determination to both figure out what happened to her husband and solve the mystery of this colorful but terrifying unknown force of nature.
|
|
What the research says: Studies have suggested that drinking wine might be associated with: raising good cholesterol, improving insulin sensitivity (which can lower risk of diabetes), reducing heart attack and stroke risk, and, most compellingly, reducing the risk of an early death.
|
|
It's flourishing now as one of the web's most compelling storytelling platforms, a repository for uplifting confessions, compressed screeds, some with candidly political overtones, self-help digests, mini essays and speculative musings and, perhaps most compellingly, serialized memoirs in sound-bite form.
|
|
This month, Ms. Ronan won a Golden Globe and was nominated for her third Academy Award, for best actress, in "Lady Bird," Ms. Gerwig's bittersweet coming-of-age film, in which Ms. Ronan plays a compellingly eccentric senior at a Catholic girls' school.
|
|
It was written for the virtuosic Ms. Gong and the Bang on a Can All-Stars ensemble, who performed this compellingly eclectic work on Friday night at the Gerald W. Lynch Theater of John Jay College as part of the Lincoln Center Festival.
|
|
Mendelberg looks back to George H.W. Bush's 1988 attacks on Michael Dukakis for furloughing murderer Willie Horton, which weren't explicitly racial, but she argues compellingly that tying Dukakis to a black murderer successfully appealed to white voters who already held racially conservative views.
|
|
I think we are living in a fantastically exciting time, particularly when a story like that of Alice, that has held such resonance with so many people and been told in a certain way for so long, can now be told compellingly in another.
|
|
The exhibition's title, Paper Promises, comes from a pejorative term used at the time for untrustworthy paper money, and the exhibition argues compellingly that the advent of paper photography in the US was slowed by fears that it would worsen the problem of counterfeiting.
|
|
In New York, Max Read says there is little evidence for the connection made in BuzzFeed and elsewhere: It's a compellingly dystopian way of thinking about the riots, in which hundreds of people have been injured, especially if you're a Facebook critic or skeptic.
|
|
It doesn't spoil anything to say that the narrative is pushed forward with details that are somehow both absurd yet compellingly believable: Out in one of the labor camps for women who've transgressed against the authorities, a new arrival spouts pieties drilled into her head.
|
|
The New Orleans neighborhood where Blanche DuBois comes calling so disastrously in Tennessee Williams's "A Streetcar Named Desire" has never seemed quite as atavistic as it does in Benedict Andrews's compellingly harsh revival, which opened on Sunday night at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn.
|
|
When Parker sings lines like "I just don't know where the hell I belong" on Lonerism cut "Mind Mischief," he compellingly speaks to alienation even as his sprawling, hazy psych arrangements are ready-made for smoking weed in a van en route to Joshua Tree.
|
|
A compellingly weird recruitment video, "Ten Bullets," preaches the Sachs Studio dogma: The central precepts for success as a Sachs assistant are an ability to focus on the task and a willingness to abjure personal inspirations in service to the vision of the leader.
|
|
Thoroughly researched and compellingly written, it is at once a revealing study of character and leadership, a vivid reconstruction of a critical episode in the history of the early Cold War and an insightful meditation on the limits of American power even at its peak.
|
|
Sprawling, associative, and steeped heavily in Czech politics (seriously, spend some time on Wikipedia beforehand), Communism and the Net is titanic, the kind of work that must be seen to be believed, even if it investigates the past more compellingly than it predicts the future.
|
|
Cassius comes to see his striking co-workers and his radical artist girlfriend, Detroit (a transfixing Tessa Thompson), as impediments to the blossoming of his own excellence, but Riley and Stanfield make it compellingly tough to dismiss his motivations here as merely selling out.
|
|
Self interest also compellingly explains how poorly they have handled this problem to date; and why they continue — even now — to impede investigations by not disclosing enough data and/or failing to interrogate deeply enough their own systems when asked to respond to reasonable data requests.
|
|
Leaving the punk scene behind was partly an act of self-preservation ("There's the danger of drugs, which is an issue with me" — a subject compellingly detailed in his 2013 memoir, "I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp") and partly a return to his first love.
|
|
The steady slicing chords that back up the stern proclamation of a mandarin to the people of Peking regarding Turandot's bloody edict (that all her potential suitors must answer three riddles or pay with their lives) were dispatched with eerie steadiness at a compellingly reined-in tempo.
|
|
It is compellingly represented at the opening of the exhibition by Frederick Cayley Robinson's (1862-1927) "War Memorial to the Students of Heanor Grammar School" (around 1919-19453), painted in tempera on board, listing the 57 former students from the school who died in the war.
|
|
Although the mystery has unfolded compellingly on this season of "True Detective," with the three timelines relating to each other elegantly, it's a shame to think of Hays as a carbon-copy of detectives past, particularly given his racial differences and his seemingly more sober process.
|
|
He didn't contest the charges in large part because the evidence against him was not only vast but compellingly assembled, presented to the judges via an interactive digital platform that combined videos, photos, satellite imagery, and panoramas to show how Al Mahdi systematically and deliberately destroyed those historic sites.
|
|
In the wake of tragic child deaths, children's services has been charged by the media and politicians with the impossible task of shielding every child from every possible danger — espousing as policy the exact mind-set that Ms. Stevens compellingly argues turns out to be bad for kids.
|
|
The co-hosts, Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley, tackle a compellingly unpredictable range of subjects: one week you'll find a discussion of the ways restaurant menus are designed to manipulate diners, the next an oral history of the avocado, and the next an examination into the minutiae of cannibalism.
|
|
But the point stands: If ever there was one piece of definitive proof that screamo—a genre whose very name was a punch line for so long—could encompass an era as completely and compellingly as the biggest rock band in the world, City of Caterpillar was it.
|
|
"We're so hugely appreciative of everything Jennifer and Ray do, and know it is due to their dedication, as well as the hard work of our incredible cast and producers, that Shades of Blue has so clearly and compellingly earned a third-season renewal," said Jennifer Salke, NBC Entertainment President.
|
|
Produced by Berkeley economist Emmanuel Saez and his frequent collaborators Thomas Piketty (EHESS), and Gabriel Zucman (Berkeley), and using a mix of tax and survey data, it shows compellingly that income gains in recent decades have gone overwhelmingly to the ultrarich, not the middle class: This is not just another chart.
|
|
DENZEL'S JUST LIKE THE REST OF US Even so, anyone needing more proof of Cecil B. DeMille Award winner Denzel Washington's peerless ability to transcend even the least promising circumstances need only observe his compellingly unaffected effort to grope for his reading glasses to read a speech he couldn't remember.
|
|
I don't agree with every position of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, but the organization compellingly summarized a prime lesson from Cincinnati on its website the day after the boy and the gorilla had their momentous encounter: Zoos cannot even begin to meet these magnificent animals' complex needs.
|
|
No Patty Jenkins, whose Wonder Woman has inspired so many; no Dee Rees, whose critically acclaimed Mudbound compellingly tackles relevant issues of race and gender; and no Greta Gerwig, whose directorial debut, Lady Bird, was ironically the best reviewed-film in Rotten Tomatoes history until yesterday, when a male critic down-voted it.
|
|
That Batman and Gandalf could find themselves fighting against a Gary Oldman-voiced bespoke bad guy while environments and characters from The Simpsons, Back to the Future and The Wizard of Oz dropped in for both helpful and confrontational cameos against a Wild West backdrop was fine, in the context of a compellingly jumbled narrative.
|
|
Even if Amazon's consumer frontdoor has remained fairly consistent (at least until the original Echo popped up), Bezos has spend years honing backend infrastructure and tooling up supply chain expertise in the areas he wants to dominate — positioning Amazon to be able to offer a more compellingly priced product than high street fashion retailers and still make its margin.
|
|
They're not for us, and this is what makes the lurching and overdetermined ways in which they're sold both so repellent and so compellingly weird; the idea of normal that's sold on the Hallmark Channel is every bit as psychotic and false as the NFL's vision of strength or college sports' brutally selective concept of loyalty.
|
|
In the '70s he shifted around enough that it made sense to accuse him of musical disinterest, that there was good reason to doubt his credentials as a musician (rather than an artist whose medium happened to be music); in retrospect it's clear that, in fact, very few of his contemporaries rocked out so compellingly, or so weirdly, or for so long.
|
|
This issue was compellingly explored in Scientific American this week by Marc Bekoff, who studies animals' behavior and awareness and is a proponent of what he calls "compassionate conservation": While some might say Harambe had a 'good life' in the zoo, it doesn't come close to the life he would have had as a wild gorilla, with all its attendant risks.
|
|
The existential threat Trump represents has to be devastating to those whose identity and understanding of the world was tied to the status given in certain circles to the capacity to speak and write persuasively and compellingly about complicated policy matters, or to those who had mastered how things were done in Washington, and expected long sinecures in that game.
|
|
Though there's a photo montage showing race-crime headlines of the 1920s in the second act, Mr. Evans (the anointed artistic director of the Chichester Festival Theater) doesn't let the didactic side overwhelm the compellingly pulpy storytelling (based on Edna Ferber's decades-spanning novel), some of the liveliest choreography in London (by Alistair David) and the gorgeous singing of Kern's peerless ballads.
|
|
Other analysts, perhaps most compellingly Dylan Matthews in Vox, counter by noting that Trump's movement differs from historical fascism in key ways: Trump has organized no paramilitary groups to subvert liberal norms, he hasn't openly rejected democracy (although perhaps has tried to delegitimize the system by saying it is rigged), and he does not celebrate violence for the sake of violence (even though there is evident glee in his calls to beat up protesters and to torture enemy combatants).
|
|
Over the last five years, Zoe Chan Eayrs and Merlin Eayrs have been creating some of the more compellingly decorated private homes in London, answering a creeping urban homogeneity with living spaces that feel as soulful as they do sophisticated: a Huguenot townhouse in Spitalfields reimagined with clean, modern lines and luxe materials like Arabescato marble and limed oak; a spare, skylit contemporary brick home with picture windows inspired by Chinese courtyard houses built on the site of a former auto body shop in Islington.
|
|
Endicott College's Joshua McCabe, a right-leaning sociologist who studies taxation in the US and Canada, has proposed eliminating the state and local tax deduction and using the money to establish equalization payments in the US. SALT's defenders, in turn, argue: Jason Furman, President Barack Obama's former chief economist and currently a professor of practice at the Harvard Kennedy School, made the argument compellingly in a series of tweets: Progressivity is an irrelevant consideration for individual elements of a tax reform plan, only should focus on the distn of the full plan.
