A Woman’s Life review – a breezy comedy of midlife crisis and same-sex affair

-
Cannes film festival: Léa Drucker gives a bravura performance as a brilliant surgeon whose already chaotic life is further complicated by a same-sex affair with a journalist Charline Bourgeois-Tacquet’s new film is a hectic, garrulous, breezily agreeable comedy of midlife emotional upheaval, unencumbered by any serious or permanent concern about any of the passion and heartache that it briefly encounters. It’s also a movie that declines to allow its characters to be changed in any way by the excitements and disappointments that life has to throw at them. Léa Drucker carries off the lead with terrifically competent elan; there’s hardly a scene in which she is not interrupted by a call on her mobile, going into bravura walk-and-talk acting on the phone while on the street, arriving at the office or getting into or out of her car. She plays Gabrielle, a brilliant surgeon – what other sort is there in the movies? – who specialises in maxillofacial reconstruction. Gabrielle is battling budg...

Eighteen-Year-Old Leni Klum Discusses Her Contentious Lingerie Photoshoot With Mum Heidi Klum

-
Regardless of what the critics say, Leni Klum is pleased with the lingerie commercial she photographed alongside her mother. Leni, 18 years old, told Page Six on Monday night at Heidi Klum's annual Halloween party that she "honestly didn't look at a lot of the replies." I am satisfied with the campaign; the day I spent with my mother was beautiful. The photographs came out well, and we had a fantastic time together. Leni told us that she does not read the comments on her social media posts since some people thought the mother-daughter Intimissimi advertisements to be strange and frightening. She admitted that she did not look at it anymore. Since I haven't bothered to look, I have yet to learn what it consists of. The up-and-coming fashion icon was quoted as saying, "I had an incredible day, an incredible shoot, it's out, and I adore it." Leni also expressed her excitement about the possibility of collaborating with her supermodel mother, who is 49 years old. She has my love. She is a source of motivation. I could go on and on about her guidance, work ethic, and many other admirable qualities, Leni told reporters at the glittering gala. It's so much fun to shoot with her. On his SiriusXM show, Howard Stern expressed his disapproval of the Intimissimi ad that the Klums were running, saying, "I looked at it, and I thought, 'This is so f—king out of line.'" It is entirely uncalled for. But you can't tear your eyes away from it. He went on to say that it appears to be a man's [private] fantasy. They are both kissing and hugging each other at the same time. And they're having a good time. Others who use the internet concurred with Stern's assessment, stating that the endeavor gave off an unpleasant vibe.

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...
