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.

Vidya Balan says its ‘ridiculous’ Sanjay Leela Bhansali walked away with credit for the success of Alia Bhatt starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi

-

Bollywood actress Vidya Balan called out the double standard of the industry after Gangubai Kathiawadi’s blockbuster success wasn’t credited enough to Alia Bhatt whereas Sanjay Leela Bhansali won all the praises. The actress said that Bhatt wasn’t praised in the same way the majority of male actors are whenever they deliver a super hit.

Vidya Balan says its ‘ridiculous’ Sanjay Leela Bhansali walked away with credit for the success of Alia Bhatt starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi

During a conversation on a roundtable interview conducted by Film Companion, Vidya asked, “How come Gangubai did well? If a woman’s film does well, it’s the director’s credit, and this is ridiculous.”

She said, “We worked so hard as women to have a certain standing today, where we’re headlining films. More and more actresses are doing that. I love how post-pandemic because the men’s films aren’t working, they suddenly turn around and say that the women’s films aren’t going to work all the more. How ridiculous! I really want to say, ‘What about Gangubai?’ It did more than most male-driven films.”

Alia Bhatt has had a tremendous year beginning with Gangubai Kathiawadi which entered Rs. 100 crore club followed by the release of Darlings and Brahmastra. She will next star in her Hollywood debut Heart Of Stone with Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan for Netflix. She also has Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani starring alongside Ranveer Singh, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi.

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...
