File Ryan Prows’ Night Patrol under a classification of race and justice-related films that loudly roar, and pardon my French: “fuck your subtlety.” His follow-up to 2017’s Tarantino-y collection of chaotic interconnected stories—Lowlife—brings the same exploitation grit. Prows collaborates with co-writers Tim Cairo, Jake Gibson, and Shaye Ogbonna to wage a war between Black project residents and an evil supernatural LAPD task force. It’s a midnighter about culture, ethnic cleansing, and systemic corruption with a fanged bite, using straightforward horror tropes to tell a passionate story on behalf of the people who find themselves targets based on skin color alone.…

We all need to share what weighs on our hearts. Daily exchanges with those we love are one of the main ways we sustain intimacy and trust.

Healthy connecting looks very different. Both people leave the exchange with…
