Egyptian-Canadian actor Mena Massoud’s Netflix romcom makes for a light late night watch: In a Hallmark-esque romcom, The Royal Treatment follows Massoud, who plays Prince Thomas of the fictional country Lavania. The prince has his whole life arranged for him, including his upcoming wedding to the daughter of a rich Texas family. However, when he visits New York, he meets Italian hairdresser Isabella (or Izzy) and is immediately smitten. Thomas’ butler decides to play Cupid and brings Izzy and her friends to Lavania to do hair and make up for the royal wedding and while there sparks fly between the two characters. Don’t expect many surprises when it comes to the plot — the film sticks to the mainstream character archetypes that are seen in so many Netflix romance films — but the flick is a low-effort way to wind down your day.

???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a raw and soul-crushingly elegant read. The coming-of-age story — written in the form of a powerful letter from a son to a mother who cannot read — of a young immigrant trying to discover his place in his new country, the love between a single mother, and a poetic exploration of race, class, and masculinity. The writing, the characters, and the setting are unrelenting in their pain, reality and loveliness. In his debut novel, poet Ocean Vuong looks into how we can heal without sacrificing who we are, and how to create joy out of our survival.
