A top-notch scene-stealer since she was a child while appearing in TV commercials and as Opal on “Pee-Wee’s Playhouse,” Natasha Lyonne reached the pinnacle when she hosted “SNL” in May 2022.

“Bodies Bodies Bodies” (A24), the English-language directorial debut by Dutch filmmaker Halina Reijn, is everything and nothing that you expect it to be.

It’s not like we haven’t lived through some scary times lately, including the four years of 45’s destructive reign, the rise of white nationalism, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

In recent years, a cinematic trend has arisen. Period pieces about lesbians, set in the late 18th century through the mid-19th century are not just becoming popular, they are also well-received.
