Fjord review - Cristian Mungiu at sea with strange child abuse drama starring Renate Reinsve and Sebastian Stan

-
Cannes film festival: The Palme laureate here makes a misstep with an odd, disquieting film that leaves too many issues unresolved Romanian director and Palme laureate Cristian Mungiu – the winner here in 2007 with his stunning 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days – comes to Cannes with an anticlimactic, underpowered movie which it seems to me could be part of an odd phenomenon at this year’s festival, detectable also in films here by Kantemir Balagov and Ryusuke Hamaguchi: auteurs making coproduction movies outside their home turf and mother tongue with big foreign stars, perhaps as a result of creative conversations at international film festivals with admirers from all over the world – and losing focus. Fjord is an odd film, bearing Mungiu’s signature, certainly, with enigmatic long shots and avoidance of closeups, and one very distinctive crowding of faces in a dinner-scene tableau. But the ostensible pain and trauma of its story is conveyed without the rewarding complexity that we have...

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt showed incredible choreography at a dance school in Los Angeles

-
Daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, impressed with her talent. 16-year-old Shilo has chosen an energetic hobby: the daughter of star parents is dancing at the Millennium Dance Complex and succeeds in it. The other day, the girl's instructor, Hamilton Evans, shared a video on social networks in which Shilo dances in the company of other students to the song Lizzo About Damn Time. Throughout the two-minute dance, Jolie and Pitt's daughter energetically and diligently performs elements of the choreography without ceasing to maintain eye contact with the camera. Shilo matched the dance style with a black 'The Beatles' t-shirt, baggy pants, and burgundy Vans sneakers. According to the Daily Mail, the heiress of Jolie and Pitt is extremely talented; she has been dancing for several years and impresses not only fans but also dance school teachers with her success. Star parents are also proud of their daughter and do not interfere with her passion. Recall that 16-year-old Shiloh became the first biological child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, which is why the media has been closely following her since her pregnancy as the actress. For this reason, Shiloh was born in Namibia, where the pregnant Jolie fled from the distraught press. In a previous post, Angelina Jolie appeared in a virtual interview with Entertainment Tonight this week to discuss her new film, Ivan, the One and Only. The actress spoke about the project and shared that her 14-year-old daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt was a big influence on her role. "Well, Shiloh told me years ago that she had read a book she liked and wanted me to read it," she said of the project. "I read it myself, and then we discussed the plot together and why she loved it so much. Then I started looking into whether it would be made into a movie and found out that the book was sort of in the works but not adopted yet.

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...
