The Invite review – A-list ensemble electrify hilarious couples night gone wrong comedy

-
Sundance film festival: Olivia Wilde, Seth Rogen, Penelope Cruz and Edward Norton are exceptional in a smart and funny winner about sex, marriage and partner-swapping Not enough people managed to see last year’s self-billed “unromantic comedy” Splitsville , a shame for how tremendously entertaining it was and for what it represents at this given moment. A rigorously well-directed, genuinely funny, relatably messy look at two couples dealing with the maelstrom of non-monogamy, it was the kind of smart, well-crafted film for adults we are constantly complaining we don’t get enough of. I had a similar thrill watching The Invite at its sold-out Sundance premiere on Saturday night. Like that film, it is also about two adult couples negotiating anxieties surrounding sex with other people – and also like that film, it’s really, consistently funny and stylishly directed, made with the kind of care and rigidity that comedies just aren’t afforded now. It doesn’t have the same absurdist slaps...

Elon Musk accused of sexual harassment. The entrepreneur himself denies the rumors

-
Elon Musk accused of sexual harassment. The entrepreneur himself denies the rumors. There was information that in 2016, Elon Musk offered an intimate relationship to a flight attendant. The publication notes that the flight attendant worked on a contract basis in the SpaceX corporate jet fleet. She accused Musk of showing her his penis, touching her leg without her consent, and offering to buy a horse in exchange for a massage. One of the documents in Business Insider's possession claims that after the flight attendant got a job at SpaceX, she was advised to get a massage therapist license so she could massage Musk. When asked to comment on the rumors, the businessman stressed that "if he was prone to harassment, then this would hardly be the first known case in his 30-year career." He did not specify who "they" were referring to but added, "I have a challenge for the liar who claims that his friend saw me 'exposed' - just one thing. Explain anything (stains, tattoos, ...) that the public doesn't know. They won't be able to do that because it never happened. " The South African-born businessman - who has American, Canadian, and South African citizenship - had previously said he was shifting his support from the Democratic Party to Republicans. Musk also made less flattering headlines: Tesla has faced numerous charges of discrimination and harassment against black workers, as well as allegations of sexual harassment.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
