30 h. ago Misper review – mystery, melancholy and murder in a faded seaside town

A crumbling hotel is the setting for a debut feature about the uneasy aftermath of a young woman’s death, which transcends the tired tropes of the crime dramaHere is a solid first feature debut from director Harry Sherriff, an atmospheric crime drama set in a gloomy, decaying seaside town, with an eerie depiction of grief experienced by those who exist within the margins of the life of a murdered girl.The film follows Leonard (Samuel Blenkin), a meek hotel concierge who has a boyish crush on his charming 25-year-old colleague Elle (Emily Carey). Dressed in a red raincoat with short dark hair and a wry smile, Elle’s character is very much reminiscent of Jordana Bevan in Richard Ayoade’s 2010 film Submarine, as is the dry sardonic humour peppered into the script.

59 h. ago ‘It’s like a stone gets shoved into the river of your life’: Eva Victor on sexual assault drama Sorry, Baby

The actor’s directing debut has been acclaimed for reimagining the ‘trauma plot’. Victor discusses bootcamp with Barry Jenkins – and what you can learn from working in a bridal shopIn late 2020, the actor and comedian Eva Victor decamped from New York to their cousin’s house in rural Maine with a surprise window of time and an urgent subject. Covid had shut down production on Billions, Showtime’s soapy finance drama on which Victor scored their first regular acting gig. Moonlight director Barry Jenkins, a fan of Victor’s short comedy videos on social media, had DM-ed to offer encouragement and a request: send a script when you’re ready.That year, everything felt incomprehensibly big – global pandemic, political upheaval, social fracturing. But alone in wintry Maine, Victor turned far inwards, towards a quiet personal trauma. “It’s like a stone gets shoved into the river of your life. There’s a lot of pain in trying to remove it and you can’t,” says Victor. “You just have to find a w...

It struck in my head as the ultimate horror film – it terrified the daylights out of me. Terence’s greatest beauties were his eyes – in some of the early films you don’t see it, but in person, when they were shining, he could hold a room. He’d sit there and say, “Watch this, I’m going to stop a restaurant.” And he could do it. I saw him do it! It was extraordinary. He once told me that he used to have real fun on Superman when he was bored, stuck on top of the ice castle. “I’d just stare down until everyone went quiet,” he said.We tried many actors when casting Bernadette in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of ...
