Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir review – Paris Hilton’s act of self-love shows there’s nothing behind the mask

-
A look behind the scenes of the star’s second album turns out to reveal exactly what you’d expect, at arduous length Paris Hilton here presents us with an unbearable act of docu-self-love, avowedly a behind-the-scenes study of her second studio album, Infinite Icon, and where she’s at as a musician, survivor and mom. But maybe there is, in fact, nothing behind the scenes; judging by this, the scenes are all there is: Insta-exhibitionism, empty phrases and show. Hilton’s second album no doubt has its admirers and detractors, and her fans are perfectly happy with it. But this film, for which she is executive producer, is an indiscriminate non-curation of narcissism and torpid self-importance that seems to go on and on and on for ever; the longest two hours of anyone’s life, finally signing off with a splodge of uninteresting and unedited concert footage.

Bollywood filmmaker Saeed Mirza reveals his opinion on The Kashmir Files; says, “The film is garbage but Kashmiri Pandit issue isn’t”

-

Portraying the sensitive situation in Kashmir, The Kashmir Files gained popularity for showcasing the brutal exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the state. While the film also earned well at the box office with many applauding the filmmaker for showcasing the happenings in the state, of late, the film has been subjected to quite a bit of criticism at film festivals and now even the Indian filmmaker Saeed Mirza, known for portraying realism in films, was seen criticizing the film.

Bollywood filmmaker Saeed Mirza reveals his opinion on The Kashmir Files; says, “The film is garbage but Kashmiri Pandit issue isn’t”

For the unversed, Saeed Mirza is known for making offbeat 80s films like Mohan Joshi Hazir Ho, Albert Pinto Gussa Kyun Aata Hai, Salim Langde Pe Mat Jao, among others. He also directed the popular television show Nukkad that was quite popular in the 90s.  Saeed recently was quoted in an Indian Express.com report saying, “For me, The Kashmir Files is garbage. Is the Kashmiri Pandit issue garbage? No, it’s not. It’s real. Is it just Kashmiri Hindus? No. Muslims, too, are caught in an incredibly vulgar trap of the machinations of intelligence agencies, nations with so-called national interests, and paid guys from across the border, who continues to create havoc. The point is not to take sides. Be human and try to understand.”

The Kashmir Files, directed by Vivek Agnihotri, stars Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, Darshan Kumaar, Mithun Chakraborty among others and it released in India in March 2022. The film was also slammed by Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid during IFFI 2022 in Goa, wherein he had accused the film of being ‘vulgar’ and a ‘propaganda’ film. While many celebrities in India reacted to this statement, the Israeli Counsel General Kobbi Shoshani had visited India and clarified that Lapid’s opinion was solely his and that it did not represent the opinion of the entire country.

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...
