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...

The Beautiful Cara Delevingne Attended A Star-Studded Halloween Party This Weekend, And She Seemed To Be In A Good Mood

-
Cara Delevingne was seen attending a Halloween bash attended by several famous people early on Sunday morning, despite worries being raised about her health. According to a source, the model is said to have arrived at the Boom Boom Room's spooky party at the Top of The Standard at The Standard, High Line in New York City at approximately two in the morning dressed as a clown who spoke with Page Six on Monday. According to the insider, Cara arrived with a bunch of her companions while wearing a clown mask and was in a fantastic mood. The insider also stated that Cara spent some time with the presenter, Jeffrey O. Harris and that she was very low-key. We were told that she wasn't drinking cocktails but was on the dance floor, moving to music by Sudan Archives. So, although she wasn't drinking any cocktails, she was dancing. Mark Ronson, Grace Gummer, Emily Ratajkowki, Derek Blasberg, Simon Huck, and Prabal Gurung were among the other celebrities that attended the Halloween party. Antoni Porowski was also there. Concerns were initially raised about Delevingne, 30, after she was seen at the Van Nuys Airport in California in September, appearing unkempt and without shoes. The woman, who appeared to be in poor health, was shown on film stumbling around erratically with her dog on the tarmac while smoking cigarettes rapidly and repeatedly dropping her cell phone. She was again observed doing this while her driver was driving off in an SUV, with her feet protruding out the window. After a few days, fans became even more concerned for the actress who had starred in Only Murders in the Building when her close friend Margot Robbie was seen crying just a few hours after she had left Poppy Delevingne's house. She also caused a stir when she skipped the premiere party for her new collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld during Fashion Week. This raised eyebrows.

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...
