Jessie Buckley Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

The passing pleasures of watching the fine young actors Jessie Buckley, Riz Ahmed and Jeremy Allen White can’t make up for the increasing distaste that develops from contact with Fingernails, an irritating and, finally, ridiculous examination of relationship matchmaking carried far too far. Greek director Christos Nikou won unanimous critical plaudits for his compellingly eerie debut feature Apples, which dealt with amnesia patients, and here again he appears drawn to troubled and mysterious states of mind that develop in the quest for love, commitment and some sense of security in modern life. The film debuted at the Telluride Film Festival and screened at the Toronto Film Festival.

Given the divide in America, where neighbors are seemingly tearing each other apart each day, at least if you watch Fox News, a comedy about warring neighbors who hate each other seems pretty timely, right? But this time, the relevance of the divided house is transported to a period piece in the charming seaside town of Littlehampton, England. That is essentially the premise of the F-bomb-filled black comedy “Wicked Little Letters.” READ MORE: The 100 Most Anticipated Films Of 2024 Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival last year, Sony Pictures Classics “Wicked Little Letters,” a dark comedy starring Oscar-winner Olivia Colman and Oscar nominee Jessie Buckley, who play neighbors that get on each other’s nerves in a small English town where residents start receiving anonymous, expletive-laden letters, igniting a social scandal in their community (read our review).

It’s a bit of a Renaissance moment for Frankenstein related projects, no? “Poor Things” obviously cribs from Mary Shelley‘s 1818 novel, and well, it’s all the name when it comes to “Lisa Frankenstein.” Then there’s Guillermo del Toro‘s upcoming take for Netflix, which announced its cast earlier this week. Now add Maggie Gyllenhaal‘s latest directing effort to the list.

EXCLUSIVE: Annette Bening is joining Maggie Gyllenhaal‘s Frankenstein lore feature at Warner Bros; the studio making it official that this is a go-project. Cameras roll in Q1. This package with its attachments has been out there since it was at Netflix, and the deals have finally closed with everyone.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic A hundred years ago, before email and social media found ways to slap us in the face with unsolicited obscenity on a daily basis, the quiet English town of Littlehampton was scandalized by an outburst of poison pen letters — a nasty case of epistolary terrorism that today might be lumped under the heading of “trolling.” Someone with lovely penmanship and a very salty vocabulary dashed off dozens (if not hundreds) of blisteringly offensive notes to members of the seaside community, igniting a police investigation and a series of trials breathlessly covered by the local press, then largely forgotten for almost a century. A bawdy black comedy that isn’t nearly as “outrageous” as it would have you believe, “Wicked Little Letters” offers a tongue-in-cheek retelling of those events for the Merchant Ivory set.

Warring neighbors that hate each other sounds like the premise of a modern-day American comedy on the political divide, but it’s actually the concept of a 1920s period film set on the English coast.

Brent Lang Executive Editor Eddie Redmayne and Gayle Rankin will bring some Weimar decadence to Broadway.

Guy Lodge Film Critic It’s the stock answer that many a happy long-term couple has given prying friends and relatives to explain why they haven’t married: “We don’t need a piece of paper to prove our love.” True enough. What can official documents tell you of something as wily and elusive as human desire? Is a band of gold a safeguard against a change of heart? Of course not, yet millions want it anyway, a ratification of feelings that might otherwise seem slippery or intangible from the outside.
