YEAR IN REVIEW: Film

In a city known for its cheerful hour culture, summer can be an even better time to take advantage of post-work imbibe and eat deals. Interns are in town, summer Fridays are in full swing, and patios and rooftops are aplenty. Here are a few prime, non-comprehensive spots for an afternoon deal with besties, colleagues, and recent connections.

Alfreda. Dupont’s Alfreda, a tribute to the chef’s grandmother, bids relaxed pizza and traditional Italian eats. The happy hour runs Monday-Friday p.m., featuring $8 spritzes and BOGO pizzas.

Instead, it explores the frustration and terror of existence a boy, of trying to fit in with other boys, of the impossibility at this age of empathetic anything that one's parents have to say.

I want to say, too, that one of the reasons I care for films like Hide Your Smiling Faces&#; and DGG's George Washingtonand Jordan Vogt-Roberts' Kings of Summer from last year and Benh Zeitlin's Beasts of the Southern Wild &#; is that they really areabout childhood (pace Richard Linklater). These films are not movies about the experience of parenthood ma

Films about LGBT people are getting seen more widely than ever, with dozens of DVD and VOD releases making homosexual content available to everyone. Fantastically, a lot of these made it into cinemas across the UK, with films such as Pride and The Imitation Game even enjoying residencies in multiplexes. It was a great year for gay men on the big screen. Sadly, fewer films about lesbians, double attraction and trans people made it onto the massive screen, although it looks like they will be better represented next year. But what were the highlights of ?

Pride, the moving culture-clash comedy about the gay activists who joined the miners’ strike in solidarity, was the biggest hit of the year, and looks likely to become a future classic.
