One of the best cultural happenings to spring up here in a long time: React to Film, the documentary film screening series founded by Coralie Charriol and Dennis Paul. Held at Soho House, the members-only club (minus the stuffiness) and bastion of hip-ness, React to Film was founded with the intent to screen documentary films that focus on the more important and controversial issues of the day—nuclear warfare, food and farming, teenage pregnancy—and by doing so, hope that the audience viewing it reacts to the film proactively.

It’s no secret that most modern women lead ridiculously full lives; we work; we are mothers, daughters, sisters, and best friends. We entertain, we cook (well, some of us), we clean, and we attend to the financial housekeeping to keep it all in order. And eventually we visit the spa or salon to take some time for us. Eventually.
