Your Neighborhood Therapist
Dear Neighborhood Therapist,
What am I doing here? I am single and my
parents live in another state. Lately it seems like
all my friends are skipping town and maybe
not coming back. Every time I hear about this I
wonder if I should join them too. I’ve been
working from home and I don’t think that’s going
to change anytime soon. I can’t do so many of
the things I used to love to do. I can’t see the
people who I really want to see who live close
to me. I’m still paying the high cost of living
and I’m still far from several of my loved ones.
- Should I Stay or Should I Go?, El Segundo
Dear Should I Stay or Should I Go,
You raise an interesting question. What keeps
us in a place and what influences us to move on?
Places are the settings in the stories of our
lives, and they play an important role. In some
ways, our relationships with places are similar to
our relationships with people. We can love them
or hate them (but we usually feel something in
between). We can long for a place, or avoid a
place at all costs. Some places comfort us in
spite of themselves. For me, stepping into the
hot, swampy midnight air of my native New
Orleans after a long flight from California says,
“Welcome home!” - but most people just want
to take a shower.
If you read this column with any regularity
you will know that I’m not going to tell you
whether or not you should stay or go. Any
time we make a change we are accepting some
degree of uncertainty. Only by considering
how much you value the things that a place
provides you - and this includes the intangibles,
like a sense of community - will you be able
to assess whether or not the risk is worth it.
There will come a day when you will be able
to go back to doing the things that you loved to
do, and see the people that you loved to see. We
don’t know when that’s going to be - nobody is
going to ring a bell and say “we’re all back to
normal now” - but there’s a reasonable chance
that that day is in the not-so-distant future.
So put a value on it: how much do you
value those things that you love to do? Are
they specifically important to you, or might
you trade them for other activities elsewhere?
Are the people that you spend time with the
people who are most important to you, or are
your loved ones somewhere else? Has your
relationship with the place you live changed?
Have your priorities changed?
Changing the setting of the story of your
life can feel dramatic, but maybe the stakes
are not quite so high. There is an upside to
relationships with places that we do not always
get with people: if we break up with a place,
it will always take us back.

Tesla is Not the Biopic
That You’d Expect It To Be
By Morgan Rojas for cinemacy.com
Based on the film’s logline, Tesla may
sound like a standard historical biopic about
the engineer, scientist, and inventor credited
with devising the first practical application
of alternating current (AC) to generate and
distribute light and power. And while yes,
I’ll admit that does sound rather dry, Tesla is
anything but a bore. Writer/director Michael
Almereyda (Marjorie Prime) takes full creative
control and presents a whimsical, vibrant
retelling of the life and accomplishments
of Nikola Tesla through humor, electronic
music, and breaking the 4th wall with Ethan
Hawke singing karaoke to the Tears for Fears
song “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.”
Hawke shines (pun intended) as Nikola
Tesla, the iconic inventor whose big ideas and
projections for the future left him entangled
with fellow inventor Thomas Edison (Kyle
MacLachlan). The film follows their shaky
partnership and Tesla‘s eventual success, as
well as his complicated relationship with
Anne (Eve Hewson), daughter of financial
titan J.P. Morgan (Donnie Keshawarz).
Rollerskating scenes and self-aware
one-liners are sprinkled throughout factual
narration and serious moments, a clear indication
that Almereyda did not want Tesla
(which premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film
Festival) to be perceived as a typical biopic.
The freewheeling and neon-soaked nature
of the film is the main draw, and it plays
much like an extended episode of Comedy
Central’s ‘Drunk History.’ However, there
are scenes that seem disassociated with this
otherwise unique style which throws off the
balance of the film. Had the surreal moments
carried consistently throughout, there’s no
doubt that Tesla would have made big sparks
on its release day.
Distributed by IFC Films, Tesla is available
to rent on VOD this Friday. •
