Mid-Life Women Trend in European Films and Series – Jennifer Green Comments

July 21, 2022July 21, 2022 Jennifer Green 100 Days with Tata, Birgitte Hjort Sørensen, Borgen, emma thompson, European Audiovisual Observatory, Good Luck to You, Grace and Frankie, I Love America, Intimacy, Itziar Ituño, Leo Grande, netflix, Olivia Colman, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Sophie Marceau, the lost daughter

The European films and series mentioned here all end on a promising note of self-empowerment for their female characters. The message shared across these stories seems to be that there is plenty of life left to be explored and a realm of new experiences – physical, emotional, spiritual and professional – still to be had for women well into and even past middle age. The market for their stories is wide open.

I LOVE AMERICA – Review by Lois Alter Mark

April 13, 2022April 17, 2022 Lois Alter Mark Djanis Bouzyani, french films, I Love America, Lisa Azuelos, Sophie Marceau

I was really hoping that I Love America would be better than its title. It’s the kind of title that feels like it can go one of two ways – either super cheesy and patriotic, which is unappealing in itself, or an attempt at irony and criticism, which a French rom com is unlikely to do well. And, spoiler alert: it’s not and it doesn’t.

We had to wait decades for Nicolas Cage's very first western (Butcher's Crossing) but then only 1 year for his second - #TheOldWays. @susangranger reviews the latest from @PrimeVideo: https://awfj.org/blog/2023/03/20/the-old-ways-review-by-susan-granger/

"Documentary-like in its candor, [#TheWorstOnes] is also touchingly tender as it captures a memorable summer in its characters’ lives."
