Few people remain who can testify as to what life was like inside a Nazi death camp, but something about “Son of Saul” — a Holocaust movie unlike any other — feels intuitively true. “Son of Saul,” a prohibitive favorite to win the best foreign language Oscar this year, presents horror with little drama.

[...] if you plan to serve a variety of dishes for the Super Bowl, sliders are more sensible than the full-sized guys.
