WEEK IN WOMEN: Kaling and Thompson Talk LATE NIGHT and Patriarchy

June 18, 2019 Brandy McDonnell 0 Comments emma thompson, late night, mindy kaling, the week in women, twiw

Late Night co-stars Mindy Kaling and Emma Thompson may seem on screen to be as upposite as oil and water, but in real life they are delightfully in agreement when they talk about the movie, good humor and related matters –such as the Hollywood patriarchy,

NEVER HAVE I EVER – Review by Ashanti OMkar

July 20, 2021December 17, 2021 Ashanti OMkar mindy kaling, netflix, never have i ever

The very first words uttered in Never Have I Ever on Netflix are: ‘Hey Gods, it’s Devi Vishwakumar.’ This opening scene drew me in like a moth to a flame, as a Tamil diaspora Hindu immigrant.

MOVIE OF THE WEEK June 21, 2019: LATE NIGHT

June 16, 2019June 23, 2019 Jennifer Merin 0 Comments betsy bozdech, Cate Marquis, emma thompson, jennifer merin, late night, leslie combemale, liz whittemore, Marilyn Ferdinand., marina antunes, maryann johanson, mindy kaling, nell minow, Nisha Ganatra, Pam Grady, sandie angulo chen, Sheila Roberts, susan wloszczyna

Cross The Devil Wears Prada with 30 Rock, and you might get something like Late Night, director Nisha Ganatra’s timely comedy about a starry-eyed young comedy writer named Molly (Mindy Kaling) who gets the chance of a lifetime when she’s hired to work for iconic late-night talk show host Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson). Written by Kaling, the movie mixes behind-the-scenes showbiz humor with smart observations about what it’s really like for women to break down barriers.

LATE NIGHT – Review by Sheila Roberts

June 11, 2019June 16, 2019 Sheila Roberts (Archived Contributor) 0 Comments emma thompson, late night, mindy kaling, motw, Movie of the Week, Nisha Ganatra

Late night TV is big business where top ratings matter. If you’re the host and can’t deliver, your days are numbered. Emma Thompson delivers a terrific performance in Amazon Original’s Late Night, a smart, tightly paced comedy with witty characters, strong acting, and a hilarious femme-centric plot directed by Nisha Ganatra from a screenplay by Mindy Kaling.

LATE NIGHT – Review by Brandy McDonnell

June 11, 2019June 16, 2019 Brandy McDonnell 0 Comments emma thompson, late night, mindy kaling, Nisha Ganatra, sundance

Thompson plays Katherine Newberry, a British comic who has spent nearly three decades as the only female late-night talk-show host on American television (talk about your summer movie fantasies). Although she has sacrificed plenty to become an award-winning entertainment icon, Katherine has become stubbornly complacent and snobbishly behind the times over the years.

When Thompson and Kaling are together, the sparks fly. But all the boys-will-be-boys humor attached to the previously all-male writing team often smells a little stale and overdone. But is Late Night worth watching? Very much so, thanks primarily to the ladies, who include Amy Ryan’s no-nonsense network executive. Let’s just say it lives up to Newbury’s own show-ending catchphrase – it earns the privilege of your time.

LATE NIGHT – Review by Susan Granger

June 10, 2019June 16, 2019 Susan Granger 0 Comments emma thompson, late night, mindy kaling, motw, Movie of the Week, Nisha Ganatra

Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson) is an acerbic TV talk-show host who, when one of her beleaguered writers asks for a raise, citing a new baby/family responsibilities, fires him on the spot, noting that – for years – the male ‘good provider’ role was used as an excuse for underpaying women.
