Matt Donnelly Senior Film WriterNetflix has swept up a worldwide distribution deal for the resonant festival drama “Pieces of a Woman,” lauded for its leading performances from Vanessa Kirby and Shia LaBeouf.The harrowing drama about a couple struggling after a failed home birth is the English-language debut of Hungarian filmmaker Kornél Mundruczó.

Directed from a script by Kata Wéber, Variety critic Peter DeBruge hailed the film as the performance of Kirby’s career thus far.“As a European filmmaker, I couldn’t be more excited and appreciative of finding my home for this film with Netflix.

Their taste in independent cinema feels like the United Artists of the 1970s. The true champions of filmmakers and original voices for today,” Mundruczó.

Members of the Ukrainian music community yesterday called on Apple Music and Spotify to allow artists to include political messaging in their artwork on the streaming platforms in response to Russia’s invasion of their country.As the Russian army continues and escalates its military assault on Ukraine, President Putin’s regime is pursing a prolific propaganda campaign within Russia in a bid to hide the motives for and scale of the invasion.

Taylor Swift gets lesser known Shake It Off lawsuit dismissed – again

Taylor Swift was successful in court last week in her ongoing legal battling over the 2014 hit ‘Shake It Off’. Though this was in relation to the lawsuit pursued by musician Jesse Graham, not the separate and more newsworthy case instigated by Sean Hall and Nathan Butler.In the latest development in the former dispute, the US Ninth Circuit appeals court upheld a lower court ruling from 2020 in which a judge dismissed Graham’s most recent litigation.Graham sued Swift in 2015 accusing her of ripping off his 2013 song ‘Haters Gonna Hate’ on ‘Shake It Off’.

EastEnders' Trevor star Alex Ferns looks unrecognisable in new The Batman role

EastEnders actor Alex Ferns, who played the notoriously nasty Trevor Morgan on the BBC soap, is barely recognisable more than 20 years later in the highly-anticipated film The Batman.The role will see the 53 year old Scottish actor taking on the pivotal character of Commissioner Pete Savage in the latest offering in the DC franchise. Acting alongside Twilight's Robert Pattinson as the masked crusader, Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle – also known as the Catwoman – and the likes of Colin Farrell and Paul Dano in major roles, Alex is a far cry from his time in Walford.

George R.R. Martin “honoured” to have worked on ‘Elden Ring’

George R.R. Martin has celebrated the release and critical reception of Elden Ring with a new blog post.The A Song Of Ice And Fire author did the world building and background details for the game before handing these off to FromSoftware, with the developer constructing the story and rest of the game.Yesterday (February 28), Martin shared a post that said although he can “hardly pretend to be objective,” the positive reception to Elden Ring has been “music to the ears”.“Of course, almost all the credit should go to Hidetaka Miyazaki and his astonishing team of games designers who have been labouring on this game for half a decade or more, determined to create the best video game ever,” said Martin.“I am honoured to have met them and worked with them, and to have played a part, however small, in creating this fantastic world and making Elden Ring the landmark megahit that it is.”In NME’s review of Elden Ring we scored it five out of five stars, with Andy Brown calling it “a glowing spectacle of achievement” that “leaves nothing out”.The game is also looking to be the fastest selling Souls game of all time as it reaches number one in the UK boxed video game charts, with digital sales to be revealed later in the week.
