I know we’re in a dark situation, what with Bret Kavanaugh being under hot water for the sexual allegations and Bill Cosby finally getting what’s coming to him, but I was actually […]
The Favourite
Colette
Keira Knightley and Dominic West both give some of their finest performances in “Colette,” a period drama, which tries and fails to hold its anger on anti-feminism during the dawn of the […]
