The New Mexico Collaborative Practice Group is a nonprofit association of lawyers, financial advisors and mental health professionals that was established in 2001 after recognizing the value of collaborative practice to families. As the collaborative movement continues to grow, the New Mexico Collaborative Practice Group continues to connect families with professionals who help guide them through a no-court alternative to traditional court-based divorce.
Lawyers, financial advisors and mental health professionals provide a vital role in the Collaborative Divorce process. This offers families greater efficiencies by incorporating neutral parties to evaluate all the elements of the divorce and develop recommendations that, where possible, support the unique interests of the parties identified throughout the process.

QUELLE SURPRISE!
I was surprised at the coverage [Alex] De Vore gave Tribes—with a swipe here and there that seemed unnecessary. Rather scant—almost like he was given a homework assignment, but never actually showed up.
Rather than critiquing the reviewer, I’d like to add a brief review of my own for Tribes:
A patron of many years, here’s why I keep going back: Approximately 70 items on the menu spanning the culinary cultures of Northern New Mexico and the Middle East, where the owner Zeinab grew up. Frequent specials, Including vegetarian and vegan. Home-baked goods, cakes, chocolate tortes, muffins, cookies and gluten-free offerings. Delicious juices and smoothies, coffees and teas.
Another huge plus for me: an emphasis on healthy food choices and cooking oils. I think of my letter as a PS to Alex’s critique.

Having been a lover of the previous, longlived SF Bar & Grill, I, along with other lovers of [now-closed Santa Fe Bar & Grill] find Dr. Field Goods an ineffable disappointment.

Henri Hammond-Paul plans to aim technology and humanity at city’s toughest challenges

Following a nine-month search, city officials Sept. 26 named Henri Hammond-Paul as the city of Santa Fe’s new Community Health and Safety Department director.
Hammond-Paul will oversee community services, recreation and emergency management. Former Community Health and Safety Director Kyra Ochoa left the position in January 2024 to serve as a deputy secretary for the state Human Services Department.
Prior to moving to Santa Fe in December 2020, Hammond-Paul served as a senior advisor to the New Jersey Department of Health and helped the state respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, and at New York University’s Langone Medical Center, he developed strategies to enhance the institution’s resilience to natural and man-made disasters, among other experience.
He holds a master’s degree in Public Affairs from Princeton University’s School of Public and International Affairs and a bachelor’s in English from Washington and Lee University. Hammond-Paul tells SFR he plans to lean on previous experience and learn from other communities.
“I appreciate the fact that this is the City Different. That’s one of the things that drew me here, just the uniqueness and all the things that people find really special about this place,” Hammond-Paul says. “But many, if not all, good ideas have already been tried elsewhere, so it’s just a matter of figuring out those good ideas are and bringing them into the context.”
Hammond-Paul’s brings a point of view shaped by work in places like New York City, Paraguay, and Italy. “I think there’s lots of lessons to be learned from a common and shared experience.”
Ultimately, Hammond-Paul says he hopes to bring “human-centered and technology-informed solutions” to address city challenges.
He says that means engaging with residents better by making sure “their input is being heard and incorporated into the work that we’re doing.” He said it also meant figuring out how we can use technology to better reach residents who “are the ones on the frontlines of a lot of these issues…like homelessness… They’re the ones who go to our libraries, and they’re the ones who visit the rec centers.”
In a statement, City Manager John Blair called Hammond-Paul “an extraordinary addition” to the city team.
“[Hammond-Paul] will make a significant dent in reducing homelessness and making Santa Fe a great place to live,” Blair said.
Hammond-Paul thanked the mayor and city staff for “trusting me with this opportunity.”
“More than anything, I’m a resident of Santa Fe, and I’ve chosen to move my family here and raise my kids here before I got this job, and I’m just incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to get back to a city that has given me a lot already,” he says. “I’m thrilled to get to work.”
In his free time, Hammond-Paul enjoys skiing, mountain biking, fishing and hiking with his wife, two children, and two dogs.

SURVIVOR SUPPORT
But that didn’t save the lives of Carmen Navarette or her teenage son, Axel Gonzales. Neither did a felony arrest warrant issued as a result of another violent incident just two weeks prior to Roman’s capture.
Domestic disturbance calls are on the rise in Santa Fe. According to data from the Santa Fe Police Department, dispatchers received 1,118 domestic disturbance calls between Jan. 1 and Sept. 5—the highest number of calls in the last four years. Additionally, research from the New Mexico Department of Health states approximately one in four adults reported experiencing domestic violence during their lifetime. But with new funding and programming opportunities in the works, help might be on the horizon. And it can’t come soon enough.

calls are up in
Santa Fe.
How are city leaders addressing the uptick?
BY EVAN CHANDLER evan@sfreporter.com
When Jose Antonio “Adrian” Roman shot and killed his ex-girlfriend and her son in Santa Fe County almost a year ago, it made headlines.
Warning signs were prevalent. The victim had already written a heartfelt plea for help, court records show.
“I want you all to please help me to get a restraining order against Jose Antonio Adrian Roman. He stopped being my partner as soon as he hit me. I don’t want to ever see him again in my life,” she wrote in Spanish in her petition seeking the order which forbade Roman from contacting her or her family in any way. “He threatened me and said, ‘Before you send me to the police, I’ll kill you first.’”
A 44-year-old domestic violence survivor who spoke with SFR anonymously for fear of retaliation, says his experience with domestic violence started off with name-calling.
Checking locations came next. Then strict oversight of finances, “things I never even thought of as being abuse,” he says. The couple spent roughly four-and-a-half years together before things turned violent. When the man attempted to leave, his former partner stabbed and strangled him, after which he was airlifted to an Albuquerque hospital.
“The doctor in the emergency room told me that most people see the violence has been going on for years, but it’s not really violent, and then it goes to the extreme,” the man says. “For it to go to the extreme the first time, it was very concerning to him as a medical professional. I know a lot of people say their partners are on alcohol or drugs—that was not the case with us. I don’t know. Maybe it was just something that snapped.”
Following the attack, the man spent three days intubated and a total of 10 days in the hospital. Concerned for his safety, he says, a doctor and a case manager recommended a shelter for domestic violence victims outside of Albuquerque.
With choices in Santa Fe County or Valencia County, the victim chose Santa Fe’s Esperanza Shelter because, he says, it was the only one with domestic abuse services and resources for men.
“I’m not saying that the other shelter doesn’t help. They do, but they put you in a hotel, so you’re in a totally different location,” he says. “You need more of a support system. You need counseling. You need therapy. You need resources to figure out what’s going to be your next step, not just a week in a hotel where, yeah, you’re
one of our biggest priorities, and this definitely fits within that scope.”
DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE CALLS IN SANTA FE OVER THE YEARS
physically safe, but is that really getting anything done?”
New Mexico is not a “victim-oriented” state, according to the man, who adds that access to resources and legal recourse following the attack were scarce. He also says there is a misconception that abuse only affects women and children.
“It’s almost like the person [who] does
it, I’m not saying they get away with it, but it’s almost like the person [who] was victimized…has to jump through a whole bunch of hoops to get things done,” he explains. “Meanwhile, the person [who] did it, well, they just have to sit back and wait to see if you’re going to do the hoops, and they’re betting that you’re not going to do the hoops. It’s just a very backward situation.”
With the help of a new federal Violence Against Women Act Fund grant, city leaders are looking at ways to change that perception. City officials received $63,938 with a required match of $21,313 from the city for a 10-month internal position in the Youth and Family Services Division dedicated to domestic violence response.
CYFD Director Julie Sanchez tells SFR the future domestic violence response specialist will help fill a gap in local services.
“It’s been a really long time since we’ve actually had city employees doing this work, so this is a big chance for the city to really make a difference in how we respond to domestic violence,” Sanchez says. “Addressing community and youth violence is
Domestic violence expert Leila Kelly works alongside Sanchez and will lead the “programming and best practices” of the new position, she tells SFR. Kelly notes the new domestic violence response specialist forms part of a larger vision to create a domestic violence response team within the CYFD.
“I think it’s important to note that we are hoping to really utilize the position with the city to help navigate all of the different systems within the community,” Kelly says. “We don’t have a lot of direct service support for survivors of domestic violence. It’s very difficult to get a lot of advocacy support, a lot of case management support, so this position is really meant to help start to spearhead this very noticeable gap in our community.”
The City Council and the mayor unanimously approved the money at the Sept. 25 governing body meeting. City officials will now work to fill the position, the Youth and Family Services director says.
Sanchez adds the city team is working on submitting a grant application in the spring for recurring funding to continue supporting the position and potentially create new ones for the desired domestic violence response team.
Santa Fe Police Chief Paul Joye tells SFR that while officers are routinely trained to deal with dangerous situations related to domestic violence, they aren’t experts in services after securing a scene.
“These advocates hopefully will be able to come in, and they will be more skilled and knowledgeable than we are in coun-
INTERSECTION OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND HOMELESSNESS
80% of unhoused women with children reported having previously experienced domestic violence
57% of all unhoused women cited domestic violence as the immediate cause of their homelessness
Over 41,000 adults and children fled domestic violence and found refuge in an emergency shelter or transitional housing program
7,914 requests by domestic violence survivors for housing were unmet due to lack of funding, staffing or other resources (Emergency shelters and transitional housing were the most urgent unmet need for survivors)
New Mexico Coalition Against Domestic Violence Executive Director MaryEllen Garcia has worked in intimate-partner violence for 25 years in the state.

seling and all the explaining of the services and just to be there with that person to guide them through what the expectations are going to be, what the next steps are going to be,” Joye says. “If we just give them a card referring them to services, they may or may not make that call, but they should make that call, but they sometimes either talk themselves out of it, or their friend or family does for whatever reason. When we bring this person, they are the resource for you, and they’re here for you to help you move through and get through this situation.”
Currently, Joye says, officers are required to receive training on how to respond to domestic violence situations during the academy followed by biannual refresher courses.
“We talk about all the things that can and have happened and get a lot of statistics and data and body-worn camera video of what happens when officers are not practicing safe tactics, because you can’t really let your guard down too much and you can’t let yourself be complacent in these types of calls,” he says, noting officers also learn about the statutory expectations and the legal proceedings that follow.
SFPD Officers Corey White and Manuel Romero tell SFR law enforcement receives multiple calls related to domestic violence incidents in each shift. Though each situation varies, White says responding to these types of calls can be dangerous for everyone involved—including officers.
“They can be scary. You’re going to the unknown, and it’s also based on the information that the dispatch provides us. Sometimes they’re actively fighting or there’s a weapon involved, and some can be just verbal,” White says. “Regardless, we do take domestic violence very seriously, and we’re going to respond. We’re going to make sure we get there and restore order
DV PROSECUTION STRUGGLES
Which came first: New Mexico ranking slightly above the national average in domestic abuse cases or the backlog currently in state courts?
Regardless of the answer or the number of inherent complications these cases carry, advocates believe solutions are available.
New Mexico Coalition Against Domestic Violence Executive Director MaryEllen Garcia tells SFR that communities with “a strong, coordinated systemic response” show reduced rates of violence.
According to the New Mexico Interpersonal Violence Data Central Repository, New Mexico ranks 23rd in the country for women who have experienced intimate partner violence, and 16th for men.
Among the most common complications in a domestic abuse case are victims who don’t cooperate.
“It’s challenging,” says Santa Fe Police Chief Paul Joye. “I’ve had my own cases where the victim will come out and outright be deceptive when we go to court.”
Joye says he’s had to testify against both suspect and victim in the past because of how “they’ve changed (their story) since the arrest.”
A 2020 University of New Mexico Institute of Social Research study shows cases involving domestic aggravated assault are less likely to be prosecuted than other crimes, and successful domestic abuse convictions tend to be misdemeanor counts, lowering the likelihood of incarceration. The study also shows defendants tried in central New Mexico face significantly lower odds of prosecution.
Joye believes getting victims and survivors into services and support sooner will build better cases and break the cycle, “so that they can get on with their lives.”
Among the services Garcia urges is the use of a lethality assessment. She says, advocates and law enforcement employ a series of questions to measure the level of danger for victims of domestic violence.
Esperanza Shelter Chief Executive Officer Jan McCray tells SFR everyone in the 30-bed shelter undergoes a lethality assessment during their maximum 90-day stay. The scores range from one to 11—11 representing highest risk. McCray notes the average score in Santa Fe for shelter residents is an eight, and the risk only increases when a survivor takes the step to leave.
She says scores like these suggest Santa Fe has domestic violence challenges comparable to large cities; however, “there aren’t enough resources in a smaller town to meet the need.”
McCray, who helps operate a shelter that specifically serves those fleeing domestic violence, believes housing is always the number one need, but lack of court intervention and fear can weigh heavily on people attempting to leave an abusive relationship.
“All of these things play a role in a person’s decision to stay or go, and it’s never that easy,” McCray says. “It’s never black and white. It’s a million shades of gray.”
there. But the stress level and your sense of security can vary. You’re looking at everybody, and you want to protect those involved in the domestic conflict and make sure they’re safe as well as officers.”
Romero says police should always have a role in dealing with domestic violence, but with the aid of a new domestic violence response team, officers can continue answering other calls.
“We will still have all these other crimes that are occurring, so we can get back to doing that—which we’re probably better at—and that new person can maybe stay behind with this individual,” Romero says.
The latest crime statistics show officers made 173 assault arrests in August. In 2024, SFPD has made 1,226 assault arrests so far, according to the same data.
“More than half of our assault arrests are related to domestic violence every month,” Joye says.
New Mexico Coalition Against Domestic Violence Executive Director MaryEllen Garcia tells SFR members of the organization support “having systems in place that can respond to survivors where they access the system,” adding data shows 40 percent of people experiencing intimate-partner violence reach out to law enforcement.
“To [not only] have advocates trained who are working with law enforcement that can not only be there to provide that crisis stabilization and connect survivors to community-based programs and the services that they need, but also to bridge that gap and provide that education for law enforcement, it really improves the system,” Garcia says. “It improves offender accountability and it improves survivor access to safety. If we can educate and put systems in place where survivors can access the resources that they need to stop the violence in their homes, that’s what we
would want…We have to recognize that law enforcement is just one piece of the entire systemic and community response to intimate-partner violence.”
To that point, Esperanza Shelter CEO Jan McCray says the intersection of domestic violence and homelessness is “incredibly high” in Santa Fe. Data from the National Network to End Domestic Violence shows approximately 53% of unmet requests for services in New Mexico were for emergency shelter, hotels, motels, transitional housing and other housing. Looking nationally, data from Safe Housing Partnerships shows 80% of unhoused mothers previously experienced domestic violence, and 57% of all unhoused women reported domestic violence was the immediate cause of their homelessness. McCray says that picture stacks up with the situation locally, where affordable housing struggles continue to build.
SURVIVOR SUPPORT
“People who have experienced domestic violence will often contact us because they have nowhere to go,” she says. “What we find here in Santa Fe higher than some of the other areas is just the lack of housing that’s available. I don’t believe, to be completely transparent, safe affordable housing is something that’s really an option in Santa Fe.”
In March 2019, the City of Santa Fe joined efforts from the Built for Zero team, an initiative from nonprofit organization Community Solutions meant to end homelessness for various populations. A June count of unhoused individuals in the city found the number of people experiencing homelessness could be anywhere from 279 to 471 based on various data collecting systems. The New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness relies most heavily on coordinated entry system data, which captures unhoused individuals accessing services—even informal ones like receiving a meal. That number, provided in partnership with various service providers, found 163 single adults; 23 youth; 27 families; and 10 veterans experiencing homelessness in Santa Fe.
Joey Hinkle, the domestic violence navigator for the New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness, tells SFR while homelessness and domestic violence “are very different,” communities like Santa Fe are notable due to the “added pressure of a constricted housing market” that can
lead individuals who may have otherwise fled to stay with abusive partners.
“Both homelessness and domestic violence are experiences of trauma that can often be stigmatized and misunderstood by the average person and both forms place an individual at greater risk of experiencing the other form of trauma,” Hinkle says. “We see a strong correlation for several reasons, but most importantly, abusers often take a ‘if I’m losing, we’re losing’ approach in the sense that when relationships are breaking down or someone starts to take steps towards leaving an abusive partner, that partner might resort to any means possible to cause problems in the survivor’s life. When things unfortunately get to that point, it is rare for survivors to have all of the resources they need to immediately rent another apartment or find another place to stay.”
The Esperanza Shelter resident says his experience shows the need for more funding and resources specifically related to domestic violence for those who may not land in a hospital and receive the benefit of a case worker or a doctor.
“A lot of people in these situations don’t end up in a hospital. It doesn’t get that severe, and so then they have to navigate it by themselves, and it could be very hard to do that,” he says. “I mean, I would think that I would never have heard of this place if I was doing it by myself.”
Esperanza Shelter Chief Executive Officer Jan McCray took over the role nine months ago after moving from Las Vegas, Nevada.
DANCE WED/2
IT TAKES ONE TO TANGO SOMETIMES
Tired of dancing free-style? Flinging yourself heedlessly around the kitchen? Feeling a bit too wild and free? Try tango. Complicated, sinuous and borderline erotic, the tango is a challenging and structured dance, and an integral part of Argentine culture that makes a landing at Santa Fe’s Cafecito on Wednesday nights. It actually does take two to tango, but you can fly solo for the all-levels group from 8th Style Tango. There you’ll surely find a partner. And though learning the moves requires patience, dedication and practice, the more you go, the better you’ll learn to tango madly. (Jesse Colvin)

ART OPENING FRI/4
THE REAL MCCOY
Painter Daniel McCoy captures New Mexican culture in a way few others can or do. Most notably, perhaps, McCoy translates land and cityscapes through a lens of Allsup’s ephemera and Crumb-style cartoonery that both highlight the serious beauty of the high desert alongside a decidedly tongue-in-cheek bit of reference. Think lively colors, think cholla and tumbleweeds drying in the shadow of a mountain you both recognize and don’t. McCoy tosses in ink elements, too, that lend a graphic edge to his works; the man also loves him a nod to Lotaburger and gas station hot sauce doled out amongst psychedelia that would be equally at home on a prog rock or stoner metal album cover—or your wall. (ADV)
Daniel McCoy: 5-7 pm Friday, Oct. 4. Free. Hecho Gallery, 129 W Palace Ave., (505) 455-6882

FOOD
-Five
BY ALEX DE VORE alex@sfreporter.com
While I was busy doing literally anything but driving to Eldorado—not counting the most excellent Café Fina, which I wouldn’t really call Eldorado anyway—the Santa Fe subdivision went and turned itself into a little town, almost. I’m sure all the folks who live out there are gasping at that sentence like I’m some sort of villain, but I’ve rarely had a non-food reason to head out that way and still don’t, but I have to hand it to the people of Eldorado in that their little plot of heaven seems more self-sufficient and livable than ever. Really, it feels like I have food reasons to visit Eldo on the regular now. And after a number of readers basically screamed at me about the burgers at Carmelita’s, I coaxed a companion into the car using lies about heading someplace closer. And I ate that damn burger. And I have thoughts.
LOVED: A SOLID BURGER FOR SURE!
OK, yes, the burger at Carmelita’s is awesome, and I should have put it on my list sooner. Carmelita’s has a few options on its burger menu, too, from a simple hamburger and plain options for the kids to double patties; chile or no chile; bacon; cheese; onions; etc. This is Santa Fe, though, so I obviously opted for a green chile bacon cheeseburger— the pride of our state might just be green chile cheeseburgers, and the bacon was like icing on the cake. Speaking of bacon, the portion was thick and cooked by someone who clearly knows how to do it. Same goes for the gooey,
Three things we love about Eldorado’s Carmelita’s— and two we don’t
melty cheese. Oh, American cheese, you just plain work on a burger. Not only that, but Carmelita’s clearly uses high-quality beef, as the patty was both juicy but solid—an undercooked and falling-apart burger is always so disappointing. This one held up, though, and everything from the satisfying cheese to the flavorful and just-spicy-enough chile and chewy bacon was just right, includ ing the soft bun on which it came. I’ll say mea culpa for not going sooner.
LOVED: THE VALUE
At $11.75 including the bacon, cheese and chile, Carmelita’s price point is honestly unexpected but majorly appreciated. Perhaps this is why we observed customers popping in and out at a regular clip despite having arrived a little later in the day. Anyway, similar-sized burgers in other restaurants (read, anyplace within spitting distance of the Plaza, and even sometimes not) would easily cost more, sometimes even twice as much. Everything on the Carmelita’s menu seemed fairly priced. That’s why we also ordered a $10 Cubano sandwich. How does that not cost more?! The pork in the Cubano, btw, was excellently seasoned and slightly crisp at the edges despite the incredibly tender overall texture. The bread was not quite right for a Cubano, but still tasty in its own right and likely just the thing to elevate most any other sandwich. And though our companion said he wished Carmelita’s went harder on the mustard and pickles for that extra bit of tang one wants from a Cubano, it was an overall killer dish. Now, I keep hearing that Maggie’s in
most of us are gonna want fries. And though an extra $4 for the extra crisp fries isn’t a huge expense (regular fries run $3, for the record), I still had to return to the counter to order them after our food came. To the staff’s credit, though, we had them roughly 45 seconds later.
DIDN’T LOVE: FOOD CAME IN BAGS
Eldorado—formerly The Brunch Box Blue— might have the most authentic and delicious Cubano in town, but I’ve yet to check it out. Regardless, there’s no shame in eating every Cubano one ever encounters in a quest for excellence.
LOVED: CRISPY FRIES
Carmelita’s has an extra crisp fries option, which the counter worker described to us as “a little thicker, but definitely popular.” I get it. They most definitely should be popular. These fries were lightly salted, which I love—I’ll add more if I must, thank you. Best of all, however, was the crispiness factor in a town that seems enamored with those flaccid skin-on fries (you heard me). This felt novel, though I’d argue it shouldn’t have.
DIDN’T
LOVE: FRIES COST EXTRA
I’m sorry, but if you’re serving burgers,
While I intellectually grok that Carmelita’s is first and foremost a to-go sandwich joint (the gyros and BBQ sandwiches will absolutely pull me back to Eldorado soon), digging a greasy wrapped sandwich out of a bag while dining in felt strange. Not only did it create waste to put each sandwich and the fries in bags of their own, a plate or a tray or something would have been nice. The Agora shopping center in Eldorado that also houses the supermarket and numerous other shops has a nice little patio/courtyard seating area going, so I simply must assume folks like to take their lunches there. I further assume that Carmelita’s is responsible for quite a few single-use paper bags going in the trash. Still, if we’re talking straight-up burgers here, this one is worth the drive. Do I think it’s the best burger in the area, as numerous readers have recently told me? Top five, sure. And top five is nothing to sneeze at.
The burger at Carmelita’s in Eldorado is drop-dead gorgeous. ALEXDEVORE
Megalopolis Review
BY ALEX DE VORE alex@sfreporter.com
If Megalopolis is what happens when legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola gets to do his thing fully unfettered by the yoke of the studio system, then perhaps he’s a bit like his old buddy George Lucas— self-indulgent to the max.
Like Lucas’ Star Wars prequels, Megalopolis is a visually arresting film with very little substance and a parade of baffling performances and confounding dialogue. If it is self-portraiture (and there’s a pretty good argument to make that most art is that), it is shamelessly self-aggrandizing; if it is meant to feel Shakespearian in its structure and dramatics as its first act invocation of Hamlet suggests…well, it’s just plain not that.
Megalopolis follows the political wheelings and dealings of the fictional city of New Rome, one which weirdly has nods to American politics and institutions while looking insanely similar to New York City. There, the flawed but, we’re told, brilliant Cesar Catilina (Adam Driver) runs the enigmatic Design Authority, an ostensible public works department that is supposed to…I dunno, build shit, maybe. Cesar can stop time (though Coppola never makes it clear if the time stops are real or if it’s his nod to how art freezes singular moments), and he’s fresh off a Nobel Prize win for creating some kind of super-cool sci-fi building material that’s supposed to revolutionize everything. He’s at odds with the city’s Mayor Cicero
8 + FUN PREMISE; BITTERSWEET - BREAKNECK PACING LEAVES MUCH UNEXPLAINED
The pantheon of time-loop films that includes the likes of Groundhog Day and Palm Springs have generally left the concept of the infinite to languish in subtext, but in Omni Loop from writer/director and Los Espookys alum Bernardo Britto places the mundanity of what is essentially immortality front and center.
Here, Weeds star Mary-Louise Parker is Zoya, a woman diagnosed with an unthinkable terminal illness. Luckily, Zoya owns a bottle of seemingly miraculous pills—pills that send her back five days when ingested. Everything reverts around Zoya other than her knowledge, and those around her don’t perceive the time jumps, at least as far as she can tell. The origin of the pills are as mysterious as their properties, but Zoya has taken them her whole life, only aging, presumably, when she so chose. That’s how she earned an advanced degree from Princeton and became a celebrated textbook author—whenever she failed, whenever she faltered, she’d simply go back five days and take another stab.
And though Omni Loop doesn’t say precisely how long Zoya has been looping, we learn it could be eons. Then, the illness and thus the change. Knowing she’ll die mostly highlights for Zoya how rote her existence has become. But she loves her family, so, in a bid to survive, Zoya taps fledgling scientist Paula (Ayo Edebiri
(Giancarlo Esposito), however, which sure doesn’t get better for Cesar when he falls for Cicero’s daughter Julia (Nathalie Emmanuel). Cue idealistic and heavy-handed diatribes on futurist egg-breaking and speeches about how the proletariat just doesn’t know what’s best for it; cue no small amount of non-sexy sex and hints of incest and pedophilia.
Coppola does manage to deftly weave the inner workings of family in a way that feels akin to Shakespeare—most everyone is related somehow and most everyone hates everyone else—but this is where the parallels stop. Nearly everything else Coppola leaves unexplained, unexplored or fallen flat. Much of the big story beats happen offscreen following short scenes wherein characters explain what they’re gonna do, then we jump to those things already in motion.
Of particular concern is actor Shia LaBeouf as the Nero-esque Clodio. One could call it strange that a man accused of physical and emotional abuse would take the role of an abusive, politicking maniac, but against Aubrey Plaza’s non dimensional gold-digging Wow Platinum (that’s really the character’s name), his character fades into noise. Ditto for bit parts
FEATURES
of The Bear) to unlock the possibilities of time travel. If the pills can send her back five days, why not five years; why not five decades?
Britto’s sci-fi edge feels particularly thrilling in its everyday nature. When we make leaps and bounds in real life, they’re almost never as sensational as the movies portray them. Here, even an incredible shrinking man or the last surviving rhino are met with lackluster response from the world at large. The menial tasks of the everyday merge with the bright pastels of the fictional Miami in which the film is set, though brutalist architecture pops into the edges of Zoya’s world, perhaps representing the cold and unfeeling nature spurred by a deathless existence.
Parker is at her absolute best as the flawed Zoya, who has certainly used her time-altering pills selfishly. She is entitled and impatient and says as much herself, but heroes need not be above reproach and, often, the best we can do is to try. Edebiri’s Paula is recognizable as a capable but flustered sort, but even she gets into the emotional weeds in a way we’ve yet to see from her in other titles. The real magic is in her chemistry with Parker’s Zoya, whose consternation knows no antidote save Paula’s wide-eyed sincerity.
Omni Loop thus dredges up plenty of emotions, though its messaging feels different from its predecessors’. Groundhog Day and Palm Springs lean into the idea that if you just find you a good partner, everything else will fall into place. Omni Loop, however, feels more hopeful and less reductive. We might not see the good
from Dustin Hoffman as a mayor’s aide or something, the film doesn’t say, Jon Voight as a creepo banker and Talia Shire as Cesar’s nay-saying mother. If this sounds confusing, actually seeing the film doesn’t make it any easier. Oh yeah, and Jason Schwartzman (himself a Coppola) is in there, too.
Driver cobbles together an interesting enough Bruce Wayne-esque character who knows he knows what’s best. Even he can’t fix Megalopolis, though, particularly when his character never gets to establish a foothold beyond “he smart.” Coppola tosses in a bunch of weird montages and some dramatic-ass narration by Laurence Fishburne, but these elements, too, won’t help the audience find an anchor point. Years from now, people will cite this film as one of the prettiest of its time, though they’ll likely hem and haw when asked if it was any good.

things around the bend, but they’re there; nothing lasts forever; and sometimes letting go is all we can do. That doesn’t make life less scary, but control is often an illusion while hurt is inevitable—maybe love is so much bigger than the romantic. (Alex De Vore) Violet Crown Cinema, CCA, NR, 107 min.
THE SUBSTANCE
7 + VISUALLY ARRESTING, DEMI IS BACK! - SIDESTEPS ITS OWN LOFTY AMBITIONS
Director Coralie Fargeat’s sophomore effort unfurls a phantasmagoria of aging and identity. Demi Moore stars as Elisabeth Sparkle (yes, really) a former Hollywood starlet turned fitness guru who’s about to learn that in Tinseltown, guru is just another word for has-been. Moore, no stranger herself to the pressures of aging in Hollywood, brings a poignant authenticity to the role. Ousted from her aerobics throne by a sleazy TV exec (Dennis Quaid, embracing his inner snake oil salesman) who hopes to find a younger, perkier model to take her place, Elisabeth does not go gentle into that good night. Instead, she rages against the dying of the spotlight, and does what any reasonable person would do: She injects herself with a mysterious green liquid.
Enter the substance, a treatment that’s less fountain of youth and more create-your-own-clone. Elisabeth’s younger doppelganger, Sue (Margaret Qualley), literally bursts onto the scene in a sequence
that’s pure old-school Cronenberg body horror with a glossy sheen, and it sets the tone for the visual feast that follows.
As Sue ascends to stardom faster than you can say “Instagram influencer,” Elisabeth fades like a forgotten ingenue’s IMDb page and is left feeling lost and desperate to regain her fame and desirability. A tugof-war for relevance or obsolescence unfolds between the two (or, is that one?) actresses and becomes a stark reminder that in Hollywood, youth isn’t just coveted—it’s practically a blood sport.
Fargeat, wearing her director, writer and editor hats, paints this grotesque and sometimes comic fairy tale with the unapologetic subtlety of a Las Vegas neon sign. The visuals pop with reds, yellows and blues so vivid you’ll swear the screen is having an existential crisis. This brazen approach, however, creates a world that’s just left of reality.
Nevertheless, in its eagerness to skewer Hollywood’s treatment of aging women, it often reinforces the very ideas it seeks to critique. The script never fully explores Elisabeth’s or Sue’s emotional depth, keeping them somewhat one-dimensional characters at the disposal of the male gazes present both in the film and the audience. They represent ideas more than truly developed individuals. As the film reaches its climax, it transforms the aging female body into a grotesque spectacle, a move that, while stunning, feels wooden against the backdrop of far richer possible narratives.

BONUS

ARIES (March 21-April 19): During some Wiccan rituals, participants are asked, “What binds you? And what will you do to free yourself from what binds you?” I recommend this exercise to you right now, Aries. Here’s a third question: Will you replace your shackles with a weaving that inspires and empowers you? In other words, will you shed what binds you and, in its stead, create a bond that links you to an influence you treasure?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If I had to name the zodiac sign that other signs are most likely to underestimate, I would say Taurus. Why? Well, many of you Bulls are rather modest and humble. You prefer to let your practical actions speak louder than fine words. Your well-grounded strength is diligent and poised, not flashy. People may misread your resilience and dependability as signs of passivity. But here’s good news, dear Taurus: In the coming weeks, you will be less likely to be undervalued and overlooked. Even those who have been ignorant of your appeal may tune in to the fullness of your tender power and earthy wisdom.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the coming days, I invite you to work on writing an essay called “People and Things I Never Knew I Liked and Loved Until Now.” To get the project started, visit places that have previously been off your radar. Wander around in uncharted territory, inviting life to surprise you. Call on every trick you know to stimulate your imagination and break out of habitual ruts of thinking. A key practice will be to experiment and improvise as you open your heart and your eyes wide. Here’s my prophecy: In the frontiers, you will encounter unruly delights that inspire you to grow wiser
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Now is an excellent time to search for new teachers, mentors, and role models. Please cooperate with life’s intention to connect you with people and animals who can inspire your journey for the months and years ahead. A good way to prepare yourself for this onslaught of grace is to contemplate the history of your educational experiences. Who are the heroes, helpers, and villains who have taught you crucial lessons? Another strategy to get ready is to think about what’s most vital for you to learn right now. What are the gaps in your understanding that need to be filled?
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The English language has more synonyms than any other language. That’s in part because it’s like a magpie. It steals words from many tongues, including German, French, Old Norse, Latin, and Greek, as well as from Algonquin, Chinese, Hindi, Basque, and Tagalog. Japanese may be the next most magpie-like language. It borrows from English, Chinese, Portuguese, Dutch, French, and German. In accordance with astrological possibilities, I invite you to adopt the spirit of the English and Japanese languages in the coming weeks. Freely borrow and steal influences. Be a collector of sundry inspirations, a scavenger of fun ideas, a gatherer of rich cultural diversity.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Here are my bold decrees: You are entitled to extra bonuses and special privileges in the coming weeks. The biggest piece of every cake and pie should go to you, as should the freshest wonders, the most provocative revelations, and the wildest breakthroughs. I invite you to give and take extravagant amounts of everything you regard as sweet, rich, and nourishing. I hope you will begin cultivating a skill you are destined to master. I trust you will receive clear and direct answers to at least two nagging questions.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): On those infrequent occasions when I buy a new gadget, I never read the instructions. I drop the booklet in the recycling bin immediately, despite the fact that I may not know all the fine points of using my new vacuum cleaner, air purifier, or hairdryer. Research reveals that I am typical. Ninety-two percent of all instructions get thrown away. I don’t recommend this approach to you in the coming
Week of October 2nd
weeks, however, whether you’re dealing with gadgets or more intangible things. You really should call on guidance to help you navigate your way through introductory phases and new experiences.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I knew a Scorpio performance artist who did a splashy public show about private matters. She stationed herself on the rooftop of an apartment building and for 12 hours loudly described everything she felt guilty about. (She was an ex-Catholic who had been raised to regard some normal behavior as sinful.) If you, dear Scorpio, have ever felt an urge to engage in a purge of remorse, now would be an excellent time. I suggest an alternate approach, though. Spend a half hour writing your regrets on paper, then burn the paper in the kitchen sink as you chant something like the following: “With love and compassion for myself, I apologize for my shortcomings and frailties. I declare myself free of shame and guilt. I forgive myself forever.”
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be HEARTY, POTENT, and DYNAMIC, Sagittarius. Don’t worry about decorum and propriety. Be in quest of lively twists that excite the adventurer in you. Avoid anyone who seems to like you best when you are anxious or tightly controlled. Don’t proceed as if you have nothing to lose; instead, act as if you have everything to win. Finally, my dear, ask life to bring you a steady stream of marvels that make you overjoyed to be alive. If you’re feeling extra bold (and I believe you will), request the delivery of a miracle or two.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Capricorn author Anne Brontë wrote The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, which many critics regard as the first feminist novel. It challenged contemporary social customs. The main character, Helen, leaves her husband because he’s a bad influence on their son. She goes into hiding, becoming a single mother who supports her family by creating art. Unfortunately, after the author’s death at a young age, her older sister Charlotte suppressed the publication of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. It’s not well-known today. I bring this to your attention, Capricorn, so as to inspire you to action. I believe the coming months will be a favorable time to get the attention and recognition you’ve been denied but thoroughly deserve. Start now! Liberate, express, and disseminate whatever has been suppressed.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
important question you want to find an answer for during the next year? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to formulate that inquiry clearly and concisely. I urge you to write it out in longhand and place it in a prominent place in your home. Ponder it lightly and lovingly for two minutes every morning upon awakening and each night before sleep. (Key descriptors: “lightly and lovingly.”) As new insights float into your awareness, jot them down. One further suggestion: Create or acquire a symbolic representation of the primal question.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
suggests that some foods are more addictive than cocaine. They include pizza, chocolate, potato chips, and ice cream. The good news is that they are not as problematic for long-term health as cocaine. The bad news is that they are not exactly healthy. (The sugar in chocolate neutralizes its modest health benefits.) With these facts in mind, Pisces, I invite you to re-order your priorities about addictive things. Now is a favorable time to figure out what substances and activities might be tonifying, invigorating addictions—and then retrain yourself to focus your addictive energy on them. Maybe you could encourage an addiction to juices that blend spinach, cucumber, kale, celery, and apple. Perhaps you could cultivate an addiction to doing a pleasurable form of exercise or reading books that thrill your imagination.
