MACK & RITA – Review by Valerie Kalfrin

August 10, 2022August 14, 2022 Valerie Kalfrin diane keaton, Elizabeth Lail, Katie Aselton, Lois Smith, Loretta Devine, Mack & Rita, Madeline Walter, Paul Welsh, Taylour Paige, Wendie Malick

The feather-light comedy Mack & Rita is a diverting and sweet take on self-acceptance that’s content to bask in the company of the individualistic Diane Keaton. At 76, Keaton is as endearing as her character thinks she’s awkward. She ambles into a Pilates studio with a long patterned coat, sparkly tam, and pink shoes, playing off being the oldest woman in the room. She burps over jumbo shrimp, then goes back for seconds. She thinks out loud, stringing what might be blunt or contradictory thoughts together, before getting behind one wholeheartedly

Katie Aselton on MACK & RITA, Diane Keaton and Collaboration – Nell Minow interviews

August 10, 2022August 14, 2022 Nell Minow book club, diane keaton, Elizabeth Lail, Katie Aselton, Mack & Rita, Paul Welsh, Taylour Paige

Katie Aselton is the director of the body-switching comedy Mack & Rita, about a 30-year-old who wishes she was 70 and is somehow transformed into Diane Keaton. In an interview she talked about how old she feels, directing Keaton (who played her mother in the film, Book Club), and why her favorite part of making movies is collaboration.
