Director Celine Song talks to lead actress Greta Lee on the set of "Past Lives." That doesn’t mean that women directors are less interesting or less original than male directors. Triet, Song and Gerwig have proved that women directors are uniquely positioned to question and rethink old genres, old stories and old ideas.

While everyone’s gait differs, you may develop an abnormal gait due to illness, injury, genetics, or issues with your legs or feet. What a gait analysis can uncover about your healthAssessing gait can predict gross motor delays in kids, fall risks in older adults and, when coupled with a cognition decline, the risk of dementia. “We’re looking at gait speed, cadence — the number of steps per minute — variability in gait speed and cadence, step length, the time both feet are spent on the ground, stance and more,” said Stephanie Wakeman, a physical therapist and OneStep’s director of clinical operations. But if you’re interested in a gait analysis to boost your athletic performance or prevent injury, you may have to pay out of pocket. “I would also love it if gait analysis was part of the recovery program for anybody who has knee, ankle or hip surgery,” Heiderscheit said.

Holiday burnout is a term that describes "the mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion that someone can experience during or after the holiday season," Michelle Felder, founder and CEO of Parenting Pathfinders, told Insider. It's important to be proactive since burnout can lead to lasting changes in how your body responds to stress. For advice, I asked therapists about the signs of holiday burnout and what you can do to prevent it from ruining the festivities. With repeated and prolonged exposure to stress, your body has a harder time recovering from the fight or flight response. When you're constantly rushed, it can be challenging to "enjoy holiday activities and events that you used to look forward to," Appleton said.

Napoleon, played by Academy Award-winning actor Joaquin Phoenix, is a talented young officer whose military victories quickly vault him into influence and power. The fact that Napoleon can’t live up to his own larger-than-life image is part of what makes Napoleon larger than life.

It also suggests, though, that the dynamics and dangers of online existence aren’t exactly new and aren’t exactly about social media at all. “Dream Scenario” is about how, even before we could see short hip hop dance videos on loop, we’ve always been in each other’s skulls. As “Dream Scenario” suggests, for better and worse, to be human is to dream together.
