State of Statelessness review – Dalai Lama presides over intimate dramas about Tibetans’ life of exile

-
Tibetan directors, who all live outside Tibet, deliver a quartet of films that explore the pain of separation and migration The wrench of exile is the theme of this quartet of short films from Tibetan directors, who themselves all live outside Tibet. Their intimate, emotional family dramas tell stories of separation and migration. In two of them, the 90-year-old Dalai Lama smiles out from photographs on shrines, a reminder of the precariousness of Tibet’s future. As a character in one of the films puts it bluntly: will there be anything to stop China erasing Tibetan identity when its rock-star spiritual leader is no longer around? In the first film a Tibetan man lives in a kind of complicated happiness in Vietnam. He loves his wife, and they both adore their sunny-natured little daughter, but he has mournful eyes. Home is a town on the banks of the Mekong River, which has its source in Tibet. The river is a constant reminder of the region – and of Chinese might too, since Chinese hyd...

Khloe Kardashian finally forgot the cheater Tristan Thompson and started a new romance

-
Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson's relationship was cracked when the reality TV star was pregnant with True's first child. Then extremely eloquent photos of an athlete who had fun in a nightclub in the company of a mysterious stranger scattered across the Web. True, Kim and Courtney's sister did not dare then to leave the father of her child, giving him a second chance. However, he did not use them. Over the past few years, the paparazzi caught Tristan in the company of his family, then with another beauty. And not so long ago, a girl appeared on the Web, claiming that she became pregnant from an athlete. Thompson did not deny her words and confirmed paternity but continued to appear in Chloe's house. Internet users were genuinely afraid that Kardashian would once again forgive the cheater, but she apparently found the strength to end this relationship. The other day, People journalists talked with close friends of the reality show star. They noted that Chloe is now in the early stages of a relationship with a new boyfriend. "She feels very well but does not want to reveal the name of her lover yet," sources from the celebrity's entourage emphasized. Rumor has it that we are talking about a businessman to whom Khloe introduced Kim. Earlier, by the way, there were rumors on the Web that the younger Kardashian had an affair with another NBA athlete. But Chloe herself hastened to dispel fan speculation by answering a question about relationships on social networks. Khloe was furious at the revelation that Tristan had given birth to a baby, recently featured on The Kardashians, and was seen calling her sister Kim early in the morning on the phone. She credits her staff and the Kardashians showrunner for helping to make her comfortable enough to share such intimate moments with the world.

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...
