Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Some people bring happiness and positivity into the world, illuminating the lives of all around them, and some make flowers wilt and milk curdle wherever they go. As Pansy, Marianne Jean-Baptiste embodies the latter sort in “Hard Truths,” coming away from her reunion with “Secrets & Lies” director Mike Leigh with her richest character yet — not economically speaking, of course, though we’d all be millionaires if we had a nickel for every blistering complaint that spills from Pansy’s lips.

A convicted domestic abuser who assaulted his pregnant wife has landed a job as a deputy sheriff in the US.

Right at the end credits of Hard Truths it says “any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.” I am not sure that is so true. I know many people who are just as mad at the world for various reasons as Pansy, the main character in Mike Leigh‘s latest depressing look at working class day-to-day existence in Great Britain. We’ve been here in this bleak zone many times with Leigh, and in fact this is the second time the great Marianne Jean-Baptiste has worked with him, the first being her Oscar nominated performance in his 1996 classic, Secrets And Lies. She was unforgettable then, and she remains unforgettable now, albeit playing a thoroughly unlikable character in Pansy, a woman who somewhere along the way lost any sense of joy, if indeed she ever had any.

At the end of the Toronto Film Festival World Premiere of her new film, The Last Showgirl, Canadian-born Pamela Anderson told the packed crowd, “this is the role I have been waiting for my entire career” while going on to joke it is the first “coherent” film script she was ever given. I can safely predict there will be more where this came from because Anderson, as an aging Vegas showgirl, is sensational, and the movie from director Gia Coppola, who says she has always wanted to make a film in Las Vegas is smart, touching, funny, honest, and wise. And if you think it is going the exploitational route like say Paul Verhooven did in his X-rated Showgirls, think again. This look at the lives of the infamous Vegas showgirls barely has any nudity, and is character-driven, more akin to the underrated 1970 drama, The Grasshopper with Jacqueline Bisset as a Vegas showgirl climbing the ladder. It helps to have not just a female director as guide, but also a top screenwriter, Kate Gersten who had studied the Jubilee show before it closed, particularly those women who lead hard lives as showgirls every night on stage.

her new movie, “Unstoppable.” The star, 55, got personal during an audience Q&A on Friday following the premiere of the inspiring sports drama based on the true story of Anthony Robles, the NCAA champion wrestler born with only one leg. Lopez, who plays Robles’ mother, Judy, said Judy’s struggle with domestic violence compelled her to take the role, as Judy’s struggle was “similar” to her own. Part of “Unstoppable,” based on Anthony’s memoir of the same name, recounts Judy’s abuse at the hands of her husband.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic “The Easy Kind” isn’t the easiest kind of film to describe for someone who is getting a first look, as audiences did in its premiere screenings at the Telluride Film Festival this past weekend. On first blush, it might appear to be a documentary of the esteemed country singer Elizabeth Cook, who enjoys a sizable following for an independent artist, between her nearly 25-year discography and her SiriusXM radio show.

It has almost gotten to the point where inspiring sports stories become a parody of themselves, so overrun is the genre with every conceivable variation. But with Unstoppable (not to be confused with the 2004 Wesley Snipes movie or the 2010 Denzel Washington one),you really can’t compare it to anything that has come before, either in terms of what the main subject has achieved in athletics or the obstacles he had to overcome at home.
