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...

Teachers And Administrators Are Leaving Kanye West’s Problematic Donda Academy As Angry Parents Make Headlines

-
A friend and associate of West's corroborated the revelation to The Post that some professors at Kanye West's Donda Academy departed in protest of West's erratic conduct and anti-Semitic sentiments. According to Malik Yusef, staff members who adhered to the Jewish faith were among those who perished. I am aware that a few persons of the Jewish faith worked there and that they essentially withdrew their participation or quit due to public pressure from, I am sure, friends and relatives. When your family tells you it's impossible to stay, you have to go with your team, Yusef, who has characterized himself as an administrator, telling us that he gives out information to the young, developing minds at Donda, stated. The things that Kanye said were utterly ludicrous. Tamar Andrews, a well-known and highly esteemed education expert, is said to be among the individuals who have purportedly departed the company. TMZ has reported that she is also an influential figure at two Jewish educational institutions. The Post attempted to contact Andrews, but he declined to respond when they called. Yusef stated to The Post about Kanye West's anti-Jewish comments, "Critical thinking is what Donda is about, and I don't think Kanye used critical thinking." Donda is a critical-thinking game. A request for the school's statement still needs to be met with a response from the institution. On Wednesday, Donda Academy Principal Jason Angell sent an email to parents informing them that the school would be closing immediately for the remainder of the 2022-2023 academic year at the decision of our Founder. But just after four hours had passed, an alert was sent stating that classes would be held as scheduled on Thursday and that school had been reinstated.

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...
