Top 10 Hits and Misses

10. Miss: What didn’t happen at the Nurses’ Ball. Ned (Wally Kurth) didn’t perform this year. Maxie (Kirsten Storms) and Stella (Vernee Watson) weren’t there to watch James (Gary James Fuller) / Georgie (Lily Fisher) and Trina (Tabyana Ali), respectively. While many of the kids and young adults were present, none of the younger teens (meaning Rocco/Danny/Charlotte/Aidan) were there. Both Laura (Genie Francis) and Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) were also Mia. Because of Alexis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Kristina’s (Kate Mansi) confrontation, they didn’t make it to the Ball, and so Alexis wasn’t there for...

General Hospital’s Nurses Ball may have been missing a few things this year — like some beloved characters and a half-naked Lucy — but what it had plenty of was memorable performances! Here is every 2025 Nurses Ball performance, ranked.

Honorable Mention: The Tango That Wasn’t

Let’s start off with an honorable mention: Anna (Finola Hughes) and Chase’s (Josh Swickard) Tango… that didn’t happen. The Pcpd pair were supposed to dance, accompanied by Gio (Giovanni Mazza), but the real entertainment happened when Gio’s violin came to an abrupt stop and he made the big reveal that Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) are his parents.

7. Opening Act ft. Gh Nurses + Isaiah

There may be no opening act that could top the famous “Welcome to the Nurses Ball,” so watching beloved nurses like Amy (Risa Dorken), Deanna (Dioni Michelle Collins), and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) sing fell a bit short.

The 2025 Nurses Ball came to an end after an explosive secret, a destroyed violin, and a return that rocked the ballroom on the May 23, 2025 episode of General Hospital.

A New Son

After Gio’s (Giovanni Mazza) big reveal, he stormed off the Nurses Ball stage, leaving the broken pieces of his violin and a shocked new family in the audience. Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) ran off while Cody (Josh Kelly) pulled Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) aside and Gio’s newfound grandparents, Sonny (Maurice Benard), Olivia (Lisa LoCicero), and Ned (Wally Kurth), all commiserated. They know Lois (Rena Sofer) must have the answers they’re seeking, wherever she is after she ran out of the ball.

It’s almost that time of the year on General Hospital. The weather is getting warmer and pretty soon the Metro Court pool will be open. Will the latest batch of teenagers be hanging out there and dealing with new drama?

The Good Old Days

Gh has always done a good job of representing teenage soap stories. There was the original foursome of Lucky (Jonathan Jackson), Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst), Emily (ex-Amber Tamblyn), and Nikolas (the late Tyler Christopher). This group brought the teen angst and gave us first loves and real friendships. Port Charles also had a heartbreaking storyline with teens Robin (ex-Kimberly McCullough) and Stone (ex-Michael Sutton).

The most recent group centered around Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Trina (Tabyana Ali). The boys in their group were originally Oscar (ex-Garren Stitt) and Cameron (ex-William Lipton). After Oscar’s tragic death, they added Dev (ex-Ashton Arbab), who also died,...

Unwilling Favors

Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) has an unwilling favor to ask, and he asks it of Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) during General Hospital’s Monday episode. In Friday’s episode, he’d told Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) he needed to make a call he really didn’t want to make, and it turns out it was to Lucy! He tells her that there’s something he thinks she can help him with.

Sonny is in the market for a new house, but he needs intel on Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) too. Hopefully he is just asking Lucy for her real estate skills, and not to...

The impending baby boom in Port Charles may have hit some snags on the December 17, 2024 episode of General Hospital.

Baby-Making Madness

After Lulu’s (Alexa Havins) reunion with Tracy (Jane Elliot) led to her spending the night at the Quartermaine’s, she finally had a long-awaited run-in with her nemesis, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton). Despite Brook Lynn having grown and changed over the last four years, Lulu still only knows her as the coniving homewrecker she once was, and didn’t let her forget it.

Read This: Here’s what’s coming up on Gh.

After their confrontation, Maxie (Kirsten Storms) showed up, allowing Brook Lynn to vent about Lulu. But when Maxie noted she’s been on Lulu’s bad side before, like during her messy pregnancy with Georgie (Lily Fisher), that was when Brook Lynn crumbled and confided in her friend about hers and Chase’s (Josh Swickard) current struggle to get pregnant,...

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers tease that Rice Plaza was quite the busy place today on General Hospital.

Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner) was looking for a Christmas Tree for her daughter Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) along with her grandchildren Georgie Spinelli (Lily Fisher) and James West (Gary James Fuller).

Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) and his new partner Lauren Jackson (Gina Vitori) were also on hand to make sure that peace was kept. Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) was also present collecting money for the needy.

General Hospital Spoilers – A fight broke out at Rice Plaza

As Port Charles got into the festive spirit, things quickly took a tragic turn on the December 10, 2024 episode of General Hospital.

From Festive To Fearful

Now that the Christmas tree lot is open in Rice Plaza (read about Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) and Liz’s (Rebecca Herbst) adorable Christmas outting this week), Port Charles is ready to get festive. With Cyrus (Jeff Kober) still ringing his bell by the donation box, it was Felicia (Kristina Wagner), James (Gary James Fuller), and Georgie (Lily Fisher) who were next up to get a tree.

Dex (Evan Hofer) and a new partner showed up in uniform, happy to keep the city safe during the holidays. That was when a drunken fight broke out in the middle of the plaza between a group of college students. It was Pcu vs. Llanview, arguing over their football teams, with Kai’s (Jens Austin Astrup) name coming up.

Despite the Quartermaine family dwindling in recent years on General Hospital, their iconic mansion has filled up in the most unexpected way.

Mansion Madness

The Quartermaine Mansion was once occupied by infamous family members, like Monica (Leslie Charleson), Tracy (Jane Elliot), and her notable parents, Edward (ex-John Ingle) and Lila (ex-Anna Lee). More recently, a new generation of Quartermaines has moved in, like Michael and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton), along with their spouses and children.

But what was once the home of arguing and bickering, betrayals and Elq drama, has now turned into a place to pawn off Port Charles’ parentless kids.

Kids of the Quartermaines

It all started when Violet (ex-Jophielle Love) moved into the mansion with Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brook Lynn after already being ashamed by her mom and left with her uncle when Finn (ex-Michael Easton) went to rehab. Violet moved in...

Asher Antonyzyn has had quite the first year on General Hospital, and the young actor has revealed what makes this role so special.

An Unexpected Reveal

Antonyzyn debuted on Gh in October 2023 as Danny, Jason (Steve Burton) and Sam’s (ex-Kelly Monaco) son. Danny has been on quite the emotional journey since Antonyzyn took on the role, reuniting with his dad, whom he thought was dead, and most recently losing his mom.

The actor recently joined his co-stars Burton and Bradford Anderson on their Daily Drama podcast, where he made a major reveal about working on Gh. “I was so nervous, I did not know what to expect because General Hospital was my first job.”

Read This: Here’s what’s coming up on Gh.

That bit of information shocked Antonyzyn’s on-screen dad. “This is your first job? This is your first acting job ever?” Burton emphasized. “I’m even more impressed now.

On the latest episode of his podcast, Bradford Anderson teased an upcoming General Hospital scene that fans won’t want to miss.

A Big Day

Anderson joined Gh co-star Steve Burton for a new episode of their podcast, Daily Drama, where he offered viewers a major teaser of what’s head in Port Charles.

After telling their audience a funny travel story about his work commute, Anderson told Burton, “When I made it back, I had fantastic scenes, that I got to work with you and a couple other of our favorites,” he said. “Doing a group scene with those people, I mean… I felt very lucky.”

Saying Goodbye To Sam

The actors also discussed the touching scene between...

Maxie and Spinelli’s Halloween night went from happy to heartbreaking on the November 4, 2024 episode of General Hospital.

Finding Out

After some back and forth with Georgie (Lily Fisher) over trick-or-treating that ended with an iconic Zenon costume, Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) and Maxie (Kirsten Storms) wound up with the house to themselves on Halloween night. Just when they were about to get cozy, a knock on the door threw them back into the spooky spirit.

With Spinelli holding a cauldron of candy and Maxie donning a witch’s hat, they opened the door to see an eerily stonecold Jason (Steve Burton). Once he broke the news of Sam’s (ex-Kelly Monaco) death to the couple, they each let the shock sink in. Maxie even noted she reminded Georgie to snag extra peanut butter cups to bring to Sam to make up for the awful hospital food.

Friends Til The End

While Maxie cried,...

While the November 1, 2024 episode of General Hospital was mostly centered around Sam’s devastating death, viewers also got a small but iconic light among the darkness.

Not-So-Happy Halloween

Amid Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) saying a heartbreaking goodbye to his fiancee and Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) breaking the life-changing news to Kristina (Kate Mansi) and Molly (Kristen Vaganos), on the Friday episode following Halloween, we saw Maxie’s (Kirsten Storms) adorable, little family prepare for trick-or-treating.

Read This: Here’s what’s coming up on Gh.

While James (Gary James Fuller) was dressed and ready to go in his Woody costume — very on brand for the cowboy-lover — Maxie went the fashionably fearful route, and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) went over the top dressed head-to-toe as a skeleton, Georgie (Lily Fisher) wasn’t quite having it this Halloween. When she appeared not in costume, her parents immediately questioned her suspicious behavior.

Cetus-Lupeedus!

After some...

Zenon has made a grand return, or rather, Lily Fisher recently sported an iconic costume as her character Georgie on General Hospital! The cast of General Hospital embraced the spooky vibes for the 2024 Halloween episode, treating fans to an adorable throwback moment between Kirsten Storms (Maxie) and Lily Fisher. The official social media accounts […]

The Halloween episode delivered a charming scene with Maxie (Kirsten Storms) and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) readying their daughter, Georgie (Lily Fisher), for trick-or-treating festivities. After a brief parental pep talk, Georgie dashed off […]

General Hospital Beams Kirsten Storms Back to Her Zenon Days...

It wasn’t all sadness and devastation on Halloween for the people of Port Charles.

Maxie (Kirsten Storms) and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) were tasked with talking to their daughter, Georgie (Lily Fisher), about Halloween.

She wasn’t interested in trick-or-treating until her parents gave her a pep talk about how there isn’t an age limit.

Maxie fondly remembered how Georgie’s namesake (Maxie’s sister) went all out for the fun holiday throughout high school.

As Georgie headed to get ready for trick-or-treating, viewers were likely unprepared for what General Hospital had in store.

The ABC soap honored Kirsten’s beginnings, with Georgie presenting as Zenon from Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century and the two sequels.

Coming up in Port Charles

Ready for Halloween, Spinelli (Bradford Anderson), in a black suit with a skeleton on it, says to Georgie (Lily Fisher), “Don’t be in too big of a hurry to grow up.” Chances are she feels she’s too old for trick-or-treating. In fact, he’s probably telling her no one is ever too old to enjoy Halloween.

A worried Laura (Genie Francis) says, “Is it Lulu?” She’s been waiting in the hospital and must have gotten word that something happened. However, she doesn’t yet know that Sam (Kelly Monaco) died, not Lulu (Alexa Havins).

Spinelli tells her to not be in too much of a hurry to grow up, dressed in a tuxedo with skeleton markings while Maxie’s in a fancy maroon dress.

Georgie, however doesn’t seem to be dressed for Halloween at all, so perhaps the challenge is simply she thinks she’s too old for trick or treating.

However, there does seem to be a look on her face like someone who’s hand has been caught in the cookie jar-or maybe,...

In addition to Sam’s loved ones acting out in the wake of her unexpected death, General Hospital spoilers for Friday, November 1, focus on Rocco feeling guilty while Robert wrestles with his past.

Pure Pain

Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) has had the weight of the world on his shoulders over the last few months and weeks.

Storms isn’t the only one who’s taken her child to work. During an August 2024 episode of Gh, Bradford Anderson’s real-life daughters, Juna and Finola, appeared as extras during scenes at the park.

Just James

While Storms is a mom of one, her character...

James was furious when he could no longer take riding lessons from Cody on General Hospital. So James followed in the footsteps of such Port Charles children like Michael and Spencer by running away from home so that the adults in his life would realize he was angry, and boy, wouldn’t they be sorry then! Maxie made a half-hearted attempt at disciplining him by cutting off his video games and his ice cream. Eh, James shrugged, whatevs. It’s not video games and ice cream he wants; it’s riding lessons and, more importantly, time with Cody. So, if running away didn’t get him what he wanted, maybe his new scheme will.

Island of Women

James (Gary James Fuller) has already made it clear how much he hates living in a household of women, with mom Maxie (Kirsten Storms) and sisters Georgie (Lily Fisher) and Bailey, not to...

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers tease that Kirsten Storms (Maxie Jones) got one of her first big breaks playing Zenon Kar on the Disney Channel. Later on, she took on the role of Belle Black on Days of Our Lives the daughter of super-couple John Black (Drake Hogestyn) and Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall).

Belle had romances with Phillip Kiriakis (last played by Jean-Paul Lavoisier) and Shawn Brady (last played by Brandon Beemer), who she eventually married. She played Belle for five years until 2004. But she wasn’t done with daytime, not by a long shot.

General Hospital Spoilers – Enter Maxie Jones

In 2005, Kirsten took over the role of Maxie Jones on General Hospital. She’s played the role on and off ever since and even earned a Daytime Emmy nomination in 2009. She eventually left in 2011 for medical reasons but returned several months later.

She’s taken several break from the role since then for various reasons.

General Hospital Spoilers leak Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) and Damien Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) have been a little bit ho-hum in recent months ever since they reunited.

We were on pins and needles waiting for that reunion to happen, and when it did, suffice it to say it was a little anticlimactic.

General Hospital Spoilers —Maxie Jones Is Busy Holding On To Deception

Still, we were expecting more than for Spinelli to just end up another cast regular who Maxie could play off of. There hasn’t been much focus on their relationship or the way their coming back together has changed their family unit.

We just expected more, but hey, maybe more is on the horizon. Rumor has it that while Maxie is busy still trying to hold Deception together, and Spinelli is finding himself comfortable back in cahoots with Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), they...

While a missing James was the main focus on the August 14, 2024 episode of General Hospital, Bradford Anderson revealed why viewers should keep an eye out for two other kids on screen.

Like Father, Like Daughters

Spinelli (Anderson) has always been a proud dad of daughter Georgie (Lily Fisher), and his portrayer is no different. As Spinelli played frisbee in the park with Mac (John J. York), two young girls could be seen in the background playing and blowing bubbles. Those girls were Anderson’s daughters, Juna and Finola, as revealed by the actor on Instagram.

Juna and Finola’s Gh debut coincided with their first day of 8th grade and 5th grade, respectively. Anderson shared a family photo in his Instagram stories to commemorate the new school year.

All In The Family

This is far from the first...

General Hospital spoilers tease that Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) and Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) have been in each other’s lives for a very long time.

Although they initially didn’t get along, the murder of Maxie’s younger sister Georgie Jones (Lindze Letherman) brought them together as they searched for Georgie’s killer together.

They eventually fell in love despite Mac Scorpio’s (John J York) wishes and almost married before Spinelli called it off. He believed that Maxie wasn’t quite ready to be married, and they remained friends.

General Hospital Spoilers – Maxie Jones Found Love With Nathan West

Although they did have a one night stand that produced a daughter, who they also named Georgie Spinelli (Lily Fisher) both Maxie and Spinelli had romance with other people.

He says something weird’s going on that nobody’s saying-he might be talking about the weirdness between Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) and Mac Scorpio (John J. York).

The children, even Georgie, have been shielded from Cody’s blurting out to Mac that he lied about the paternity test and he’s really Mac’s son. Cody’s avoided being around James who...

Later on January 31, Avery Kristen Pohl exited as Esme Prince went into the water with Spencer Cassidine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez), and neither body was recovered.

William Lipton returned as Cameron Webber after Spencer’s presumed death. However, William recently landed a new gig in the Amazon series The Runarounds. John “Jagger” Cates returned when Adam J. Harrington took over the role.

Hamilton Finn Collapses

Gh spoilers for Friday, June 21 reveal that Finn will collapse at home. Clearly drunk again, Finn will soothe his bruised ego with booze after quitting the hospital.

In a preview clip, Finn falls near the coffee table at home. Finn manages to get up, but ends up falling again, this time even harder. It doesn’t look like Finn will get up from the second fall.

Trending!

General Hospital spoilers tease that two of Maxie Jones’ (Kirsten Storms) children have been appearing quite a bit in recent weeks.

Both James West (Gary James Fuller) and Georgie Spinelli (Lily Fisher) have been onscreen, while Maxie’s youngest Bailey Lou Jones (Riley and Miley Plonski) hasn’t been seen since sometime last year.

Bailey’s absence is usually explained fairly easily, she’s typically either napping in another room or with her grandmother, Felicia Jones (Kristina Wagner). But now that the Plonski twins have been case, it seems likely we’ll be seeing more of the little one.

General Hospital Spoilers – Mac Scorpio Comes Home!

Maxie was raised by Mac Scorpio (John J York) when her parents weren’t available. But eventually Maxie’s mom, Felicia returned to Port Charles and she and Mac have been married for years.

What, You Worry?

At the Metro Court pool Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) talks to Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Massa) and she can’t quite believe her ears; she’s incredulous as she repeats it back.

Josslyn wants to make sure she’s understanding Gio correctly as she asks “So you’re worried about taking advantage of Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard)”!

That does seem odd, considering Gio’s living at the Quartermaine mansion, not living with Sonny.

He’s certainly not living in one of Sonny’s safe houses around town. Why he’d think he is taking advantage of Sonny is definitely a puzzler!

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers report Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) and Damien Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) are officially a couple — and in love.

Spontaneously, love was in the air at Brook Lynn Quartermaine’s (Amanda Setton) wedding to Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) and Maxie couldn’t contain her true feelings anymore.

That being said, the fans are chattering that there might be more drama ahead before these two can really share any kind of happily ever after.

Did it all come too easy? We did wait more than a year for Spinelli to declare his love for the Maxonista, but will her worst fears of breaking his heart again come true? Or will they ride off into the sunset — finally?

One has to wonder whether the next big day Maxie will plan will be her own wedding day to Spinelli. Can they make it down the aisle this time while keeping their sanity and family intact?...

The world of Netflix's One Piece gets further fleshed out nearer to its release date, dropping the first looks at the young Straw Hat Pirates.

The teaser images released via X (formerly Twitter) showcase young Zoro (Maximilian Lee Piazza), Nami (Lily Fisher), Usopp (Kevin Saula), Sanji (Christian Convery), and Pirate-captain-to-be Luffy, played by Colton Osorio. None of the East Blue Straw Hats spent much time with their biological parents; the image of Nami with Bell-mère (Genna Galloway) hopes to be indicative of the "found family" that Showrunner Matt Owens spoke about in Oda's Two Demands. Actors for Nojiko (Chioma Umeala) and Kuina (Audrey Cymone) have also been announced.

It’s hard to wait to watch a film months after its release and not be at least somewhat affected by what the public thinks about it. To say that the Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde has not received favorable mentions is an understatement. Still everyone has opinions so it seemed possible that there might be something worthwhile about it, like Ana de Armas’ Golden Globe-nominated performance or the Oscar-shortlisted makeup and hairstyling. Seeing the Nc-17 rating and the daunting 2-hour-and-47-minute runtime at the start of the film sets up certain expectations, and, somehow, this film still manages to surprise, and not in a good way.

Blonde opens in black-and-white on a young Norma Jeane Mortensen (Lily Fisher) and her mother Gladys (Julianne Nicholson), who shows Norma a photo of a celebrity she claims is her father. Gladys quickly descends into a manic state, driving her young...

Ana de Armas had zero difficulty finding streams of research to play Marilyn Monroe in Blonde. But learning what drove Norma Jean, the delicate and insecure woman behind the public persona, was an entirely different challenge.

“It was important to find the emotional truth in this character,” she said Saturday at Deadline’s The Contenders Film: Los Angeles. “One of the biggest themes in this movie is the private and public self. Norma Jean was completely unseen. I wanted to capture the essence of that woman, to find the human underneath. It was a long process studying her and her films, to understand what she was feeling at all times, always thinking that Norma for the most part never thought she could live up to Marilyn. What people thought of her was not at all what she felt like.”

Blonde, the Marilyn Monroe biopic, premiered on Netflix and it took the second spot on the charts. The Ana de Armas-starring movie got an 11-minute standing ovation when it was screened at the Venice Film Festival.

Despite glowing reviews for Blonde, the film directed by Andrew Dominik didn’t debut at the top of the streaming service’s chart. The biopic was watched for 37,340,000 hours, according to Netflix’s Global Top 10 chart.

Warning: This article contains major spoilers for "Blonde."

Andrew Dominik's "Blonde," a fictional look at the trauma and tumult in the life of cinematic icon Marilyn Monroe, bears only a passing resemblance to reality. Instead, the film — which is an adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates' book of the same name — is an unending string of disappointments, degradations, humiliations, and pain. Over the course of 2 hours and 47 minutes, Marilyn is beaten, raped, lied to, cheated on, exploited, and more. It's a punishing watch. There's plenty of bold filmmaking involved, but is it worth the cost?

Throughout the film a number of wild moments take the action — and the unpleasantness — to a whole new level. Dominik's film isn't just unconcerned with the truth; it's explicitly uninterested in grounding the story in any kind of reality. "Blonde" features multiple dream sequences and plenty of hallucinations, leaving us unsure as to what, exactly,...

It is a very exciting time to be on the festival circuit.

And simultaneously with these great screenings are sidebars, panel discussions, workshops, master classes and all around great networking for filmmakers around the world.

TIFF says: “Brendan Fraser gives a career-defining performance in Darren Aronofsky’s arrestingly intimate drama about a reclusive English professor struggling with personal relationships and self-acceptance, adapted from the stage play by Samuel D. Hunter.”

Alice, Darling by Mary Nighy

Also playing are Alice, Darling (Mary Nighy) in which Anna Kendrick captures the anxious psychology of a woman in an abusive relationship as her friends try to reconnect with her while on a cottage getaway.

‘Blonde’: Andrew Dominik & Ana De Armas Sensed Ghost Of Marilyn Monroe While Making Biopic – Venice

Andrew Dominik’s long-gestating Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde received a reception Thursday night at its Venice world premiere that somehow managed to be both rapturous and stunned. The contradictory nature of that response reflects the divisiveness that will most likely follow the harrowing Nc-17 movie into awards season.

The Venice audience responded with rousing applause and a heap of appreciation as the nearly three-hour-long film came to a close, rising to give Dominik and his cast a standing ovation lasting around 14 minutes, the longest of the festival so far. The most exuberant moments of appreciation seemed to come when the attention was focused on star Ana de Armas, whose fully committed performance as Marilyn Monroe is certain to spark Oscar speculation. By the end of the ovation, Dominik and his full cast were in tears.

The epic biopic, which also marks Dominik’s...

Here’s a cocktail for you — let’s call it the “Blonde.” Start with a base of biographical fiction, add three parts mid-century photography, a heavy dash of bitters, a wash of bad taste and top with a Lynchian float. You’ll have something that kicks hard, if leaving you somewhat worse for wear once the intoxicants run their course.

And to push this analogy further than needed, director Andrew Dominik’s long-awaited Marilyn Monroe biopic is somehow less about the actress and more about his own showmanship. Think of Dominik as a flair bartender.

Premiering at the Venice Film Festival, “Blonde” holds stardom to the light and finds nothing but an unending nightmare. If technically an adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates’ novel of the same name, the film uses that source as a launch pad, a framework on which to pin countless other inspirations, most of them visual.
