5 Things You Can't Miss
Lori McKenna's 'The Tree'
Lori McKenna is one of the most talented and sought after songwriters in country music and took the genre by storm critically in 2016 with The Bird and the Rifle, which included the fantastic “Humble & Kind,” that was taken to No. 1 on the country charts by Tim McGraw. McKenna returns with his 11th studio album The Tree, released on July 20, that includes the already released and terrific “People Get Old” and “Young and Angry Again.” It’s sure to be one of the best albums of the year.

Sorry to Bother You
"Sorry to Bother You" lives to upend your expectation in any way it can while delivering a comedy-coated homily on expectation versus reality and how if we alter one the other will inevitably follow. The film addresses plenty of topics that don't get their day often enough, but it also attempts to say so much that it might ultimately be too much. Whatever writer/director Boots Riley decides to do next I will be there for it.

RBG
Going in knowing little to nothing about Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her historical rise to Supreme Court Justice, "RBG" is the biggest shot of adrenaline one might ever gain from a movie centered around an 84 year-old. From the opening scene in which Ginsburg, is working out with her personal trainer it's clear the perpetually busy Supreme Court Justice is not one to be reckoned with. Further, this documentary doesn't simply capitalize on the recent wave of pop culture adoration though it obviously acknowledges it, but directors Julie Cohen and Betsy West dive into that of what made Ginsburg who she still is today and the multitude of cases that earned her a place not only as a Supreme Court Justice, but as the pioneer for women's rights and equal rights for all.

It seems journalism is in more danger today than it's ever been before, and despite what you may think about it or have heard about it lately, it's one of the most important mediums in America. Our country depends on good journalism. "Journalism can never be silent: That is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air." - Henry Anatole Grunwald

Whitney
There have been a lot of documentaries around a lot of tragic celebrity figures recently and it would be easy to lump "Whitney" into this category where it's not hard to predict the beats and insights we can expect to get out of it-I certainly assumed a fair amount prior to walking into the film. That said, "Whitney" is a fascinating look into the life of a global superstar who everyone assumes they know because of this iconic status. The key word there obviously being "assumes" as director Kevin Macdonald smartly presents the story of Houston's life as we thought we knew it and then brings the audience around to the possible truths of the matter as those being interviewed came to realize certain truths themselves.
