On my way to Judson Memorial Church, I passed a performing artist circling the Washington Square Monument.<\/p>\n

John Cho and Haley Lu Richardson are intelligent, articulate and charming in Columbus<\/em>, Director Kogonada<\/em>\u2019s debut film set in Columbus. Indiana. The visually stunning city is packed with architectural gems designed by Kevin Roche, John Dinkeloo and Eero Saarinen.
\nTroubles with parents and a love of architecture draw the two main characters together. Imagine, no guns, no violence.<\/p>\n

Originally it was called a retreat but now it\u2019s referred to as the Judson Weekend. It\u2019s at least forty years old. I know this because a gay couple who met at the retreat\/weekend forty years ago celebrated their years together this past weekend. No one could tell me how long it\u2019s been in existence. The Episcopal Camp and Conference Center is well run and in a woodsy location with a lake near Ivoryton, Connecticut. At one time, more than forty years ago, Ivoryton had a thriving summer playhouse. Ever hear of Katherine Hepburn? She lived in nearby Fenwich Point and got her start at the playhouse. Ever hear of Marlon Brando? Shortly after completing the movie,\u00a0Julius Caesar<\/em>, he starred in Shaw\u2019s Arms and the Man<\/em>. Wally Cox, TV\u2019s Mr. Peepers, was also in the production. I was trying to impress some Mellennials at the Weekend by dropping famous names from the Ivoryton Playhouse past: Talullah Bankhead, Ethel Waters, Jim Hutton, Marlon Brando, Steve Cochran, Mary Astor. the only one they\u2019d ever heard of was M. B.<\/p>\n

Graphic Lessons: Recent thirty-five-year-old widow Millie Fitzgerald applies for a private school teaching job, faints on a stabbed and dying man in the school kitchen, deals with the only witness to the stabbing – a troubled nine-year-old, develops a crush on a NYPD detective and her dog dies.<\/p>\n

Graphic Lessons: Nine-year-old Dana is the only witness who overhears three people fighting with George Lopez, the soon to be stabbed Windsor School kitchen worker. Who can she tell? Her mother who never listens or accuses her of lying? Her father who\u2019s started a new family in Singapore? She tells Millie.<\/p>\n

Graphic Lessons: Something\u2019s eating at NYPD Detective Steve Kulchek: a failed marriage? surviving a car bomb? his girlfriend marrying his corrupt boss? screwing up an important case? It doesn\u2019t matter because he\u2019s relentless.<\/p>\n
