It's film review day: we discuss Meryl Streep's new film Florence Foster Jenkins
Janice Forsyth reviews Florence Foster Jenkins, in which Meryl Streep plays a delusional diva with a uniquely awful voice!
It's movie review day on The Janice Forsyth Show: we'll discuss Florence Foster Jenkins in which Meryl Streep plays a delusional diva with a uniquely awful voice!
Regular critics, Pasquale Iannone & Siobhan Synnot will share their thoughts on it and on this week's other big cinema releases: including Tom Hiddleston's new musical biopic, I Saw The Light - which reveals the dark side of the legendary country western singer, Hank Williams, and The 7th film from director Terrence Malick (Badlands, The Thin Red Line, Tree of Life), Knight of Cups - which offers both a vision of modern life and an intensely personal experience of memory, family, and love.
Later in the show, comedian turned author, Sara Pascoe explains why she feels biology is the bottom line when it comes to understanding gender politics; she has turned from stage to page with Animal - an autobiographical journey through evolutionary and cultural history, and, ahead of it's DVD and Blu Ray release, director Lenny Abrahamson discusses Room - starring Brie Larson as a young woman, kidnapped and held for years in her captor's backyard shed. Her character has to deal with the trauma of her situation while struggling to protect the young son she bears while imprisoned!
All that and we hear from both John Barrowman and his sister Carole. The celebrity siblings have written a new novel together, Conjuror - a supernatural thriller - they'll tell us all about it!
