The Moment review – Charli xcx struggles through defanged Brat summer satire

-
Sundance film festival: There’s a smart idea at play here, with the star playing a hellish version of herself fighting against corporate forces, but there’s not a lot else In April 2025, the pop singer Charli xcx posted a TikTok reflecting on nearly a year of her seminal album Brat : “It’s really hard to let go of Brat and let go of this thing that is so inherently me and become my entire life, you know?” she said. “I started thinking about culture, and the ebbs and flows and lifespan of things … ” She acknowledged that over-saturation is perilous, and that maybe she should stop, but “I’m also interested in the tension of staying too long. I find that quite fascinating.” The frank, informal admission fit with Brat, a pop culture-shifting album that channeled, with stunning immediacy, the imperious ego and bristling insecurity of an artist keenly aware of her own precarious level of fame . Her ambivalence was understandable – Brat rapidly turned Charli, who spent over a decade as a...

The Vanity Fair Magazine Cover That Revealed Meghan Markle’s Romance With Prince Harry Infuriated Her

-
Meghan Markle's distaste for the media dates back to 2017 when she appeared on the cover of the publication Vanity Fair. Naturally, in addition to the budding Hollywood star, the name of the future Duchess of Sussex's then-boyfriend, Prince Harry, was prominently displayed on the front page of the journal. However, nothing was said about her acting skills or her work as a humanitarian. Since a member of the royal family, not Meghan Markle, was the main focus of the story, the enthusiasm and displeasure of the Sussex family developed into real panic, wrath, and scandal. When the magazine offered to write a piece about Sussex to be published on the cover of the September issue, she was originally "delighted," according to a British journalist, author, and royal specialist Tom Bower, who wrote about it in the book "Revenge: Megan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors." The loud and somewhat fiery statement, "She's just crazy about Harry," caught the Duchess off guard. By the way, the author did not even try to outline in detail Markle's primary responsibilities, even though Megan was already well-known for her charitable work at the time. Tom claims that instead of suing the newspaper, Buckingham Palace made a statement to the Duchess that enraged her. Additionally, Prince Harry's public relations team further fueled the flames by forcefully advising Meghan to refrain from discussing her personal matters and from responding to inquiries about the administration's policies under then-US Potus President Trump. Racism-related themes were included on the list of banned subjects. Megan persuaded Harry that the story would be about her work in Suits because she was content with everything and confident about the upcoming interview. In Toronto, where the project was filmed, Markle is believed to have participated in an interview.

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...
