The Mother of All Lies review – pursuing the truth of Morocco’s brutal dictatorship years

-
Asmae El Moudir employs a delicate mix of handmade replicas and oral testimony to brilliantly evoke personal and collective trauma Between those who refuse to remember and those who struggle to forget, a tumultuous clash of minds occupies the centre of Asmae El Moudir’s inventive documentary, a prize-winner at last year’s Cannes film festival. Through a constellation of clay figurines and dollhouse-style miniature sets, most of which were constructed by El Moudir’s father, the director recreates her oppressive childhood in the Sebata district of Casablanca. Under the watchful eyes of her domineering grandmother Zahra, all personal photos are banished from the house, save for a picture of King Hassan II. The delicate mix of handmade replicas and oral testimony brilliantly evokes the personal and collective trauma that stem from Morocco’s “Years of Lead” – a period of state brutality under Hassan II’s dictatorial rule. Lingering on the nimble fingers of El Moudir’s father as he puts t

Fans Were Excited That Sheri Easterling And Yung Gravy Will Be Attending The 2022 VMAs Together

-
According to a source familiar to Yung Gravy, the relationship between the famous rapper and Sheri Nicole Easterling, the mother of Addison Rae, is merely "viral bait." A PR relationship exists. The source said that while it seems like a kiss, it is not. They continued, "I don't believe he's merely yearning after older women in real life," adding that Yung Gravy, 26, prefers typically "young f-king blonde chicks like Tana Mongeau." That simply isn't true. The source also said that Yung Gravy, real name Matthew Raymond Hauri, was corresponding with a blonde female acquaintance of theirs through Instagram. The buddy is 25 years old. The "Betty" artist and Easterling, 42, created a stir on Sunday when they came to the 2022 MTV VMAs together following her divorce from Monty Lopez, 46, whom she had been separated from over allegations of infidelity. Yung Gravy revealed to Page Six on the red carpet that they initially connected on "the internet" and "Chatted online" a few times before hooking up in person. "I approached her first. I was aware of her and believed she was doing well," he stated. But according to the insider, Easterling might have started a relationship with Gravy for other purposes. The insider claimed that Easterling would seek out the hottest young man because of Lopez's rumored liaison with 25-year-old Renée Ash. If she had been successful, Pete Davidson would have been the ideal candidate, but Yung Gravy is the next best thing. A request for clarification from Page Six was not answered directly by representatives for Gravy and Easterling. After the PDA-heavy night, Gravy rushed to social media to stand up for Easterling against the online trolls. She recently became single and is enjoying herself. In reaction to a video showing the musician kissing his new girlfriend on the red carpet, the artist responded on Twitter, "Leave her alone, lol."

Gasoline Rainbow review – a free-ranging coming-of-age ode to the curiosity of youth

-
Billed as a gen Z road trip film, the Ross brothers’ first fiction feature offers more than you’d expect from the genre, with a focus on human interaction over plot In the opening seconds of the Ross brothers’ new film, a teenager professes his hope to discover a place “weirdos” like him can call home. The opening raises doubts about the novelty of what might follow: the trope of the high school outsider has been endlessly revisited. Gasoline Rainbow – billed as a gen Z road trip movie – starts off by replaying familiar images. As new high school graduates Makai, Micah, Nathaly, Nichole and Tony hit the road across Oregon for one final adventure together, we see the usual trappings of the genre: sing-alongs, parties by the campfire, and leaning out of car windows to enjoy the breeze and sweet call of freedom. We move into welcome new territory when a mishap leaves their van out of action, and the group are left in the hot desert trying to scrounge a path forward, meeting strangers al

Elaha review – sex, patriarchy and second-generation identity

-
A sexually candid, seriously intentioned drama about a young Kurdish woman who feels she has to surgically ‘restore’ her virginity before her wedding There is a heartfelt and courageous performance from 28-year-old Syrian-born, German-based actor Bayan Layla in this drama about sex, patriarchy and second-generation immigrant identity. It is a drama which hits the buttons squarely and efficiently, but might perhaps have played better as a three-part TV drama. Layla plays Elaha, a young woman of Kurdish family background in a German town (director Milena Aboyan is herself German-based and Armenian-Kurdish). She has finished high school and is now attending classes on how to apply for jobs, picking up skills she uses mainly to help her dad find employment. There seems to be no discussion about university, despite her obvious intelligence. Her mum works hard minding Elaha’s younger sister and disabled kid brother, and Elaha has part-time work at a dry-cleaners; she is saving for her wedd
