  • Art: Lifelines at Priscilla Fowler

    Bright colors, bold lines and haunting eyes greet viewers of the new exhibit by abstract artist Frédéric Bonin-Pissarro, the great-grandson of famous French impressionist Camille Pissarro. The younger Pissarro teaches art and design at UNLV when not creating “positive images dealing with spirituality, family friendship, connectivity and togetherness,” according to a press statement. Through May 1, Priscilla Fowler Fine Art Gallery, 1300 S. Main St. #110. Opening reception March 5, 6-10 p.m., free. –C. Moon Reed

  • Video Game: What the Golf?

    The only thing that interests me less than golf is video games about golf. Danish game company Triband understands that, and in the hilarious and addictive What the Golf?—available for Steam, Epic Games, Apple Arcade and the Nintendo Switch—they strip away the rules, sand traps and even the golf clubs to deliver the sheer pleasure of whacking soccer balls, limp bodies and even entire houses to the green. The cartoony graphics, the catchy music, the crowd screaming “WHAAAAAT?” when you miss a shot—it’s a gameplay hole-in-one. Whatthegolf.com. –Geoff Carter

  • TV: Behind Her Eyes

    Author Sarah Pinborough’s best-selling thriller gets the Hollywood treatment on Netflix’s latest series. Louise (Simona Brown) is a single mom who meets the handsome David (Tom Bateman) one night at a bar without realizing that the stranger is actually her new (married) boss. Louise quickly becomes enveloped in David’s life, starting an affair and becoming a new friend to his wife, Adele. Anxiety-inducing twists and turns abound in a show sure to polarize its audience.

  • Comedy: John Caparulo at The Space

    Ohio comic John Caparulo has played Vegas from top to bottom, from the Riviera to the South Point and back on the Strip at Harrah’s, where his Mad Cap comedy show was building buzz when the pandemic arrived. Now he’s hitting the Space for a spontaneous, interactive performance, taking direction from the limited-capacity audience and making things up on the fly. Expect limitless laughs. March 9, 7:30 p.m., $49 in person, $9 livestream, thespacelv.com. –Brock Radke

  • Film: Nomadland

    The journey that Frances McDormand’s character, Fern, takes in Chloé Zhao’s Golden Globe Award-winning film Nomadland is a wide and wandering look at deliberate displacement. Fern has joined a modern, nomadic tribe of van dwellers, folks who, for one reason or another, have chosen an alternate route to the American Dream, or have been marginalized completely. Fern is a fictional character, but the people she meets along the way are actual itinerants. No one but McDormand could have pulled off what she does here, which is to seem just as real. Hulu. –Genevie Durano
