Sundance film festival: The cult of celebrity is targeted in a progressively nonsensical and poorly made debut with too much on its plateAnyone who has written about a much-loved music star with even the vaguest hint of light criticism will be aware of the horrors that can often follow.

There’s a great thriller to be made about this unpleasant tension, the fans who will do anything for their idol and the idol who will do nothing to stop them, but Opus, a poppy new A24 misfire premiering at Sundance, is not that movie.It’s the first film from writer-director Mark Anthony Green, who, like many before him, is so fixated on what he wants to say that he hasn’t been able to figure out how to say it.

They need more democracy, not less, and soon.The Channel 4 poll found that 52% of 13- to 27-year-olds think “the UK would be a better place if a strong leader” were in change “who does not have to bother with parliament and elections”, and 33% thought the country would be better run “if the army was in charge”, among other dark impulses.Polly Toynbee is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...
