Everybody Digs Bill Evans review – absorbing delve into the tumultuous world of the great jazz man

-
Grant Gee’s film thoroughly inhabits the creative and personal torment experienced by the American pianist – with a terrific supporting Bill Pullman turn This elusive, ruminative and very absorbing movie presents its successive scenes like a sequence of unresolved chords carrying the listener on a journey without a destination – and is, incidentally, one of those rare films featuring a wonderful supporting turn that does not undermine or upstage the rest. It’s a film about music. Particularly, about what remains when a musician cannot play and is left to consider the terrible sacrifices made, without conscious consent, to this all-consuming vocation that creates family pain and jealousy almost as a toxic byproduct. It’s a drama to put you in mind of Glenn Gould and Hilary du Pré, sister of Jacqueline. Screenwriter Mark O’Halloran has adapted the 2013 novel Intermission by Owen Martell about renowned jazz pianist Bill Evans. It focuses on a period of emotional devastation for Evans, ...

The ugliest of the Kardashian sisters?: On Khloe Kardashian’s birthday, together with a psychologist

-
Despite the fact that Khloe Kardashian has achieved some success both as an actress and as an entrepreneur, she still loses to her sisters in popularity. And at the mention of the name Kardashian, the name Kim immediately pops up in the minds of most people, while many do not even suspect the existence of Khloe. If we look to where, in the opinion of many, all the troubles of a person come from, that is, in childhood, we can easily see that it did not go so smoothly. Today, Chloe is doing her best to promote body positivity and has even released a separate clothing line. The girl regularly posts her hard workouts on the blog, and her special diets are walking around the Web. She can not do without the help of plastic surgeons. All this shows that the topic of one's own body is still quite acute for a celebrity, despite the weight shed. This is probably why the reality star is unable to completely avoid body-shaming. Another interesting episode from the biography when her older sisters graduated from school, Chloe also stopped visiting her, transferring to homeschooling. Of course, the reasons for this may be different, but the fact remains that she did not study without relatives. Although, by the way, she graduated from high school with honors. It is unlikely that the divorce of her parents passed without a trace for the girl; she was then only five years old. And if before that she was just the youngest of the sisters, then after the new marriage, her mother was exactly in the middle of a series of sisters: 2 older sisters and two younger siblings. Khloe has become a kind of link between the two halves - not the easiest position in the family.

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...
