The greatest eulogy for Alice Munro has already been written

Instead of great artists and seductresses, we see beautiful dolls turning pale every time they are caught off-guard by a crude man, and there are many in the show. #Heeramandi

Another, more pertinent, reason to be sceptic towards nepotism is we rarely acknowledge our children's limitations. If someone as exacting as Bhansali couldn't see the problem with the show's central performance just because it's his niece, that's concerning.

I might be biased, but a lovely video.

Pranava Sruthi Ganapathy Raman Film Companion South You may have read this already, but will link to Keerthana.'s wonderful piece on 80s Telugu cinema and how it was more progressive in many ways filmcompanion.in/features/telug…

#LaapataaLadies is sweet and simple. The story of two women on two different journeys reaching their destination, what not to love?!

My problem with the film isn't that it failed to entertain me—thankful it didn't, but it lowers our cultural standards without our say-so. The next time we see a mild improvement, we are sadly grateful.

I don't see #AmarSinghChamkila as an artist's autobiography, even if it works perfectly as a tribute, but as a portrait of an artist in a skewed relationship with his audience—'if you don't love me, I don't love me'.

My question, 'What is Mohan Bhagath doing lately?', seems to have an interesting answer. Also, a book adaptation so here's hoping for more new filmmakers with a library membership.

#Premalu is a cute little thing. Great casting through and through. And the Tholi Prema role reversal in the climax is plain fun. If you love someone, you should let them leave the country. Yes!

The elders know that film culture didn't properly appreciate The Talented Mr. Ripley when it came out bcz there were so many great films in 1999 & also some folks were mad at Anthony Minghella because The English Patient beat Fargo at the 96 Oscars and he was English and bookish

Did I gasp at the reveal? Of course, I did.

Great profile. Sri Reddy is hard to pin down and harder to support unequivocally. The article brings out the frustration felt when the face of a movement is far from the idea while also giving us a taste of the loneliness of a fallen idol. Read read.
