3 h. ago Is being a Guardian reporter as exciting as the movies make out?

Keira Knightley cuts a more glamorous figure than most Guardian staff in her new Netflix film The Woman in Cabin 10, while Tennant is a dead ringer for star reporter Nick Davies. But how convincing are they?In The Woman in Cabin 10, Netflix’s new potboiler, Keira Knightley plays a fearless justice warrior, a lone voice of dogged truth in a maelstrom of corruption, and this is not her first foray into such terrain: six years ago she played the whistleblower Katharine Gun in Official Secrets, the 2019 film about some pretty dicey US and UK behaviour before the Iraq war.This time round she’s a journalist, though – and not just any old hack, a Guardian journalist. Exhausted and possibly traumatised by a crusading investigation she has just finished about some bad people doing bad things, she accepts a trip on a billionaire’s yacht for a breather, only to discover that billionaires are also bad. You cannot call that a spoiler, even though it technically is one. You’re reading the Guardia...

8 h. ago The Substance to The Woman in Cabin 10: the seven best films to watch on TV this week

Demi Moore stars in a stunning satire about the tyranny of female beauty standards, while Keira Knightley is a journalist travelling on a luxury yacht when she witnesses someone get tossed overboardCoralie Fargeat’s no-holds-barred satire about the tyranny of female beauty standards – and the perceived horrors of ageing – features an inspired bit of casting in Demi Moore, who plays a role with echoes of her own career. More than holding her own amid a splurge of wince-inducing makeup effects, Moore is Elisabeth, a 50-year-old film star reduced to doing an aerobics show on TV. Edged out by her slimy boss, Harvey (Dennis Quaid), she seeks to prolong her relevance by undergoing a mysterious – and very gruesome – procedure called the Substance. This spawns a younger clone, Sue (Margaret Qualley), and an increasingly vampiric relationship between the two. Friday 17 October, Paramount+ Continue reading...

14 h. ago Walking the halls of the UN, I felt its power — and its distance from the people it was built to serve | Satara Uthayakumaran

From the Tiwi Islands to Tasmania, from city classrooms to refugee programs, I have listened to thousands of young people. And now I carry those voices with me into the heart of the UNIn its 80th year, the UN headquarters in New York heard speeches that made headlines. One leader thundered threats of war. Another complained about an escalator. Meanwhile, outside the polished floors and gilded halls, children were starving in Palestine. Bombs fell. Borders closed. Budget cuts placed the very architecture of human rights under siege.This was meant to be a landmark gathering, a celebration of 80 years of multilateralism. Instead, it felt like a reckoning. Can the UN still serve the people it was built to protect, or has its promise begun to crack under the weight of politics? Continue reading...
