Of the many gestures of love, small and, more frequently, supersized, in Love Actually, the one that always stood out to me is of the former kind. Hugh Grant’s prime minister sits in a grand yet cosy drawing room at No 10, alone on Christmas Eve, rifling through holiday cards in his red despatch box. He comes across one from Natalie (Martine McCutcheon), the tea lady he’s been pining for since their first, expletive-filled meeting. “If you can’t say it at Christmas, when can you, eh?” she writes. “I’m actually yours.”This…

In early 2021, when it emerged that Ellie Kemper had participated, as a St Louis teenager, in the Veiled Prophet ball, a debutante party run by a group founded by former Confederate officers, the comedian took to Instagram. “I was not aware of the history at the time, but ignorance is no excuse,” went her apology. The remorse she exhibited was only the beginning of what can only be viewed as an extended self-flagellation tour.First, the beloved mainstay of The Office and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt appeared as a co-host of…

Parisian film-maker and illustrator Céline Devaux, whose award-winning shorts have been shown at Cannes and Venice, now makes her feature debut with a salty romcom character study; it is deceptively slight, though leaning heavily on a certain kind of quirkiness, and undoubtedly intriguing.Jeanne is an entrepreneur who has fallen into a depression caused by the death of her mother and the recent bizarre collapse of her business; she has an inner anxiety-voice represented by Devaux’s own sketches of the cartoon-ghost in her…

Much of this almost wondrously misjudged Bollywood film is perfectly palatable: the tale of a limited man redeemed by his far superior wife. Varun Dhawan plays Ajay, a history teacher who is fixated on projecting the impression that he is a tough cookie with a perfect life. His pupils are in his thrall, and allow him to doss in lessons rather than teach them; everyone in his city (Lucknow in northern India) seems to have bought into the myth, too. One person who hasn’t, however, is his new wife Nisha (Janhvi Kapoor), whom…

There are strains of Richard Curtis and even Shakespeare in this charmingly cheesy Bollywood film about a thirtysomething manchild who falls for a woman way out of his league. Set in Gujarat and directed by Sameer Vidwans, Kartik Aaryan plays Sattu, an unemployed loafer who spends his time moaning about his enduring virginity and doing the housework (badly) for his despairing parents. When he goes to a dance and sees the resplendent Katha (Kiara Advani) performing, he resolves to win her heart – only to discover that she…

Jennifer Lawrence teases ‘a lot of alternate lines’ cut from No Hard Feelings(Photo Credit: Bang Showbiz) Jennifer Lawrence has revealed there were “a lot of alternate lines” that didn’t make it into ‘No Hard Feelings’. The 32-year-old actress stars opposite Andrew Barth Feldman, 21, in Gene Stupnitsky’s racy rom-com and she admitted while she didn’t improvise much herself, the director and writer was keen to get the actors trying out lots of different ideas he was coming up with.

Sleepless in Seattle – the film, the phrase – conjures the kind of quixotic romance that already seems long lost to us, on screen and elsewhere.Nora Ephron specialized in whimsical courtships – majestic grand gestures, emotionally lofty stakes, couples too perfect for each other for lightning ever to strike so precisely again. As her sophomore directorial venture approaches its 30th year, Sleepless in Seattle remains famously unrivaled in the sheer brilliance of its feat: a love story in which the lovers share roughly 2…
