Yet, despite representing a state school that pledges to maintain a two-thirds ratio of Virginians, the program’s in-state recruitment numbers have waned in the last few years — right now, there is just one Virginian on the team. But high school junior Brayden Johnston — the Cavaliers’ new recruit in the class of 2027 — just changed that.

Released in theaters nationwide on June 13, A24’s proverbial second date with Celine Song features the triumvirate of Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal in a glossy meditation on the perils and pitfalls of modern dating. “Materialists” is incredibly pleasant to look at –– which makes sense for a film about beautiful people and beautiful things, and the natural desire thereof –– but often falls short of holding any deeper meaning.
In Charlottesville, living in off-Grounds housing often requires signing a year-long lease agreement. These year-long agreements may leave students paying rent even when they are away, such as if they are studying abroad or living at home over the summer.

The most common critique of his latest movies is that they have the style but lack the substance that made his earlier works so resonant and iconic.
