This review contains plot details from the first three episodes of “All’s Fair,” which are now available on Hulu. Creators: Jon Robin Baitz, Joe Baken, Ryan Murphy Stars: Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash The fact that a legal drama supposedly about female empowerment begins with a pilot episode written and directed by men probably tells you everything you need to know about “All’s Fair.” In fact, of the three episodes currently available on Hulu to commemorate the series premiere, only one features a significant creative credit from a woman, and it’s shared between executive producer Jamie Pachino and co-creator Ryan Murphy, who collaborated on the script for Episode 2. But this is a review, so I’m obligated to elaborate: “All’s Fair” is a clumsy, condescending take on superficial, triumphalist feminism, undercooked even by the standards of the overworked Murphy, who co-created the series with Joe Baken and Jon Robin Baitz. Admittedly, the tone is intentionally campy, and i...

Italian actress and singer Paola Cortellesi has been breaking hearts and box office records on her home turf with this directorial debut. It’s a rich, even outrageously sentimental, working-class drama of postwar Rome, a tale of domestic abuse whose heroine ultimately escapes misogyny and cruelty through a piece of narrative sleight of hand that verges on magical neorealism, played with unabashed theatrical flair and beautifully composed in luminous monochrome. The film pays homage to the early films of De Sica and Fellini, and Cortellesi’s own performance is consciously in the spirit of such cinema divas as Anna Magnani, Sophia Loren and Giulietta Masina.
The scene is set in Rome just after the end of World War II, when American soldiers were a presence on the streets and Italian women had just gained the right to vote — though exercising it under the sinister gaze of the film’s misogynistic men is another matter. Cortellesi plays Delia, a woman who is regularly beaten by her brutal husband Ivano (Valerio Mastandrea).
He makes her a slave in the house, the slave of his curmudgeonly, bedridden father (great work by veteran comedian Giorgio Colangeli), and she does odd jobs around town, for which she has to hand over the cash at the end of each day. Her teenage daughter Marcella (Romana Maggiora Vergano), who sees her mother brutalised and humiliated, is forced to sleep in the same bedroom as her two spoiled younger brothers, and when she receives a marriage proposal from a wealthy local boy, she, like her parents, is thrilled – at first.
Delia also has admirers: a soldier is worried about her bruises and a former flame, now working as a mechanic, wonders what might have been. But aside from this, Delia has a scrap of paper that she keeps secret. Is it a love letter? Some legal document that might somehow get her out of this terrible prison? Not exactly, but Cortellesi keeps us guessing with suspense that keeps us guessing and ultimately fuses the personal and the political in a way that, while a little tricky, reaches a resonant conclusion. It's storytelling with incredible confidence and style.

Netflix went all out to unveil its highly anticipated miniseries “The Leopard,” based on Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s classic novel set in Sicily, marking the platform’s biggest splash in Italy yet. On Tuesday, Netflix held a packed press conference in the frescoed ballroom of Rome’s centrally located Plaza Hotel, which was also used to film one of the series’ key scenes. “The Leopard” will formally premiere in Rome on March 3 with a gala screening held at the Eternal City’s Opera House before its global release on March 5. Creator: Richard Warlow Stars: Francesco Colella, Astrid Meloni, Mario Patanè The lavish historical tapestry, with elements comparable to “Downton Abbey” or “The Crown” and the potential to leave a global mark, is a modern take on the sensual Sicilian saga adapted for film by Luchino Visconti, starring Claudia Cardinale, Alain Delon and Burt Lancaster.

Stephen Lang is one of religious history’s most iconic prophets during one of its most turbulent periods in House of David. Lang, best known for his work on the Don’t Breathe and Avatar franchises, has explored the historical genre in the past, from the well-received Civil War epic Gettysburg and its prequel Gods and Generals to the political thriller The Gandhi Murder. With the Prime Video show, however, he marks his first major foray into faith-based storytelling, teaming up with the creative team of Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn, whose previous hits include American Underdog and Ordinary Angels. House of David is set in B.C. Israel and chronicles multiple stories that will eventually intersect thanks to David, the young biblical figure who, after slaying the Philistine giant Goliath, would eventually become one of the most notable kings in Israel’s history. Lang stars in the show as Samuel, the renowned prophet who, under God’s guidance, takes power away from the proud King Saul and sets o...
