WATCHING YOU WITHOUT ME
Lynn Coady chases her Giller Prize–winning
Hellgoing with a creepy, slow-burning page-
turner about a caregiver with less-than-altruistic
aims. After her estranged mother dies, Karen returns
to Nova Scotia to look after Kelli, her older sister with
a developmental disability. This already difficult
time for the family takes a turn for the sinister when
Kelli’s support worker becomes a claustrophobic
presence in their childhood home. Sept. 24.HIGHWAY OF TEARS
The math is staggering:
In Canada, Indigenous
women are six times more
likely to be killed than their
non-Indigenous counter-
parts. And as many as 4,000
Indigenous girls and women
went missing or were found
murdered between
1980 and 2012,
many of them
along a rural high-
way in northern
B.C. Through
dogged reporting
and intimate inter-
views, Jessica McDiar-
mid gracefully sum-
mons the faces and families
behind these appalling statis-
tics, and powerfully indicts a
system of justice that remains
indifferent as they continue to
grow. Sept. 24.THE POLITICIAN
Ryan Murphy, the showrunner
behind Glee and American Hor-
ror Story, brings his talents to Netflix with
this dark political comedy—an Election
for the moneyed West Coast set. Ben Platt
(Dear Evan Hansen) plays a Santa Barbara
high schooler who plots his every move—
student body president; Harvard degree—
with eyes set squarely on the nation’s
highest office. He’s joined by some formid-
able women: Gwyneth Paltrow, Bette
Midler, Judith Light and Jessica Lange all
appear in the first season. Sept. 27.rd.ca 19
