Here, I had to do with subject matter that I’m very close to and very familiar with, so my posture was to just stand still and let the actors do their job. POGGIOLI: Both humorous and mystical, “The Hand Of God” is based on Sorrentino’s adolescence in Naples, a city basking in the 1980s in […]

Today, we’re concluding our multi-day tribute to Broadway composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim, who died last week at the age of 91. I was visiting as part of a high school theater class from Florida, and “Company” blew me away so completely that it began a lifelong love of musicals in general and Stephen Sondheim […]
Perhaps on a quieter path to awards season contention, but still no less deserving of their plaudits, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “The Lost Daughter” and Paolo Sorrentino’s autobiographical “The Hand of God” make their way to the platform. …Read the full story
In House of Gucci, Lady Gaga’s character, Patrizia Reggiani, is famous for two reasons. So in a way, I took my time to erase the things that I do so that I could study the way that she talked, so that it would be authentic and real and and specific. I think that Patrizia was […]
Drake’s “new parents” are Renee, 71, and Jim Stanley, 75, of Oklahoma City. Yes, “my new parents” was how Drake captioned a selfie with the Stanleys that he shared to his 97.2 million Instagram followers. Perhaps he’s just interested in the 2022 NBA Draft Lottery, and the major implications a Thunder-Rockets game can have on […]
For a movie in which an adult nun’s childhood statuette of the Virgin Mary is carved into a dildo and then used on her, Paul Verhoeven’s Benedetta is surprisingly unsurprising. After rising to fame in the Netherlands, the director conquered American cinema by bringing both devil-may-care vigor and a European sense of irony to the […]

Over the last few years, we’ve gotten a pretty good play-by-play of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s decision to leave their royal roles back in early 2020, and how it impacted their relationships with the rest of the family, especially Prince Charles and Prince William. According to Page Six, Charles and Harry are currently in […]
But I didn’t realize what a frightening character he was going to be until Phil retired to his bed, pulled out a banjo, and started angrily plucking at it; that humble string instrument hasn’t been played so malevolently on-screen since the notorious “dueling banjos” of Deliverance. Campion’s first feature film in 12 years, based on […]
Police haven’t even issued a final report about the shooting accident that took the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set on the Western film Rust. It’s not something a big-name celebrity at the heart of a gigantic public controversy usually attempts. Hutchins was killed when the Colt .45 revolver Baldwin was holding unexpectedly […]
Drake rapped on the DJ Khaled track “No New Friends” in 2014, but the rule apparently doesn’t apply to new parents. The connection the Stanleys built with Drake meant far more to them than any viral moment, however. …Read the full story
Refugee stories are not always obscured by our media, but they are often distorted, with broadcast news segments and sensational dramas twisting the extreme oppression and abuse experienced by migrants into entertainment for those of us with the right passports. Rasmussen grew up with Amin in a small Danish village, where the latter arrived alone […]
But apparently, this was a mistake, and when I thought I was expressing sincere happiness, I was actually sending an emoji that’s “colossally insulting in every conceivable way,” according to The Guardian. It seems the rest of the world agrees, and the “slightly smiling face,” to use its full name, doesn’t feature in the top […]
Gird your Manolos: The Sex and the City reboot is almost here. Some of it has to do with the fact that Cattrall just doesn’t want to play Samantha anymore, whereas all her other former co-stars seem to be thrilled at the idea of revisiting this franchise over and over again until we die. This […]
The movie’s subtle conclusion has a “big reveal” that takes a moment to comprehend — probably not the grand gesture you might expect from the story’s battle of wills. Adapted from Thomas Savage’s 1967 novel, the movie begins with two rancher brothers, Phil , move in with them. We hear that Phil dies from anthrax, […]

On paper, it seems preposterous to imagine that Steven Spielberg’s new big-screen take on the material, in theaters Dec. But now, after a rapturously received premiere in New York City this week and a strong burst of initial reviews, I’ve come to think that “West Side Story” can manage what was formerly impossible. After the […]
West Side Story is a love story set amid two warring teenage gangs – the Jets and the Sharks – on New York’s Upper West Side in the 1950s. “This is the first, full Steven Spielberg musical, and it seems he has been depriving himself and us all,” wrote Empire’s Helen O-Hara. “The new West […]
