My Father’s Diaries review – haunting home-video excavates trauma of Srebrenica massacre

-
Ado Hasanović’s moving documentary transforms footage filmed during the Bosnian war into a devastating portrait of memory, survival and inherited grief For years, film-maker Ado Hasanović has wanted to ask his father, Bekir, about his harrowing experiences during the Bosnian war but their conversations usually ended with curt, abrupt answers that obscured rather than illuminated the past. Bekir might be uncommunicative, but his collection of self-taped films and diary entries recorded during the height of the conflict tells a different story. Culled from this powerful personal archive, Hasanović’s poignant documentary forges a dialogue not just with history, but also across generations. In 1993, along with two other friends, Bekir formed a film-making collective called John, Ben & Boys in the small mountain town of Srebrenica. As the war escalated, what began as a playful amateur exercise quickly transformed into intentional documentation, as if Bekir was already aware of the genoc...

Khloé Kardashian’s Mom, Kris Jenner, Says It’s Tough To See Her Daughter In Pain

-
Khloé Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, have broken their silence on the controversy surrounding the birth of her second child with ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson. Hulu released a teaser video for season 2 of The Kardashians on Tuesday, in which Jenner talks about seeing her daughter, 38, struggle as Kardashian talks about the news that she and Thompson are expecting another child. A clip of the Good American co-founder said, "There is something that I'm ready to talk about," emerged online. A new member of our family is on the way thanks to Tristan and I. In reality, it's a very unique experience even though this is the time of your life when you should be feeling the most excitement. Jenner, 66, expressed her distress in a confessional video by saying that seeing Khloé in anguish is difficult. At the end of the video, Kardashian said, "This has been a rough moment in my life, but it's the beginning of something good, happy, and beautiful." Kardashian, 30, and Thompson, 31, have been together since 2016 and are parents to 1-year-old True Thompson. In June of 2021, they had a falling out but reconciled. This past January, Kardashian officially canceled her engagement to the NBA player. In the same month, Thompson posted on his Instagram Story, "I take full responsibility for my acts," confirming he had fathered a child with Maralee Nichols. Now that we know who the father is, we can raise our son together without any tension. I want to openly and personally apologize to everyone I've offended or disappointed during this journey, he continued. Thompson also mentioned his then-girlfriend Kardashian in his message, confirming Nichols's claim that the couple's child was conceived when they were together. Khloé wrote, you don't deserve this. You are not worthy of the pain and shame I have brought upon you. You haven't deserved my treatment throughout the years, and I apologize.

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...
