Movie Reviews and Previews TIFF Review: Paul Dano and Jude Law in The Wizard of the Kremlin They say the truth can be stranger than fiction, but sometimes the truth is so twisted that only fiction can cut through to something real. Such is the case with The Wizard of the Kremlin, a fictionalization of Vladimir Putin’s rise to power in post-Soviet Russia. Directed by Olivier By Sarah • Sep 12, 2025 01:14 pm
Style Celebrities at LV, as always Louis Vuitton is the most valuable luxury brand in the world so a fitting close to a Paris Fashion Week that seemed to be rejecting quiet luxury. There wasn’t a lot of it from the biggest players – certainly not at Valentino for Alessandro Michele’s debut collection which was By Lainey • Oct 02, 2024 11:08 am
Assy Style Zendaya, Emma, Sophie, and Ana at Louis Vuitton Zendaya in Paris. That’s the story. It’s Fashion Week, and Zendaya is Fashion. So everything stops when she shows up, that’s how it works. Because she and Law Roach never disappoint. But they do always surprise. And the surprise, at least for me, is that Z wasn’ By Lainey • Mar 07, 2023 11:24 am
Kerry Washington Sequins, leather and more feathers, and Louis Vuitton at the Academy Gala If the category is sequins, you throw on a tulle cape and you start with Miss Diana Ross who performed at the Academy Museum Gala in a silver sequined set that also functions as athleisure. Between this and the coastal grandmother fashion trend, the seniors are leading the way in By Lainey • Oct 17, 2022 01:48 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Dev Patel in The Green Knight David Lowery is a filmmaker profoundly interested in time. All of his films from the traditionally narrative (The Old Man & the Gun) to the abstractly lyrical (A Ghost Story) to the big-budget studio (Pete’s Dragon) in some way address time, its relentlessness, man’s desire to defeat it, By Sarah • Aug 19, 2021 01:54 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Alicia and Michael’s quiet three years Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender were married almost three years ago this coming October in Ibiza. They were photographed in Ibiza this week on holiday with friends – noteworthy because they keep a pretty low profile and apparently moved to Portugal a couple of years ago. Michael also stepped back from By Lainey • Jul 22, 2020 03:23 pm
Met Gala 2018 Three Nuns Walk into the Met Gala OK none of these women are actually dressed like nuns, but let’s go with it. First, Alicia Vikander (who, to me, has very low energy on the red carpet) and Jennifer Connelly, who I was semi-excited about seeing. Both are in Louis Vuitton and both designs clearly had a By Maria • May 08, 2018 04:50 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Tomb Raider doesn’t suck Tomb Raider wants to be Indiana Jones but ends up more The Mummy (the good Rachel Weisz one, not the dumb Tom Cruise one). That’s not an insult—The Mummy is a good f*cking adventure movie. But The Mummy also doesn’t take itself seriously, and you can By Sarah • Mar 15, 2018 09:46 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Alicia & Michael on the carpet, separate Tomb Raider premiere in London last night. This is why Alicia Vikander, who reps Louis Vuitton, wasn’t in Paris for Fashion Week and the LV presentation. She wore LV on the carpet though and it might be the best dress I’ve seen on her in a while. Not By Lainey • Mar 07, 2018 03:16 pm
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Alicia’s bathrobe coat Does this coat look like a bathrobe to you? It’s totally a bathrobe, right? Because it doesn’t have a proper collar, for starters. And then the way it ties at the waist. And then, of course, the material. Also, maybe, the colour. Not that I don’t like By Lainey • Feb 21, 2018 11:44 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Does anyone care about Tomb Raider? Lainey emailed me about the new Tomb Raider trailer and my response was: “I am so unmoved by these trailers.” The first trailer at least had Walton Goggins with his hair halfway standing up, but this trailer shows us even more Goggins, and I am sad to report, his hair By Sarah • Jan 19, 2018 11:10 am
Weddings Alicia & Michael: married? Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender were joined by family and friends in Ibiza this week, as previously reported by the UK Sun who were the first to reveal, several weeks ago, that the two were getting married. There are now new photos of the two at the Daily Mail (they By Lainey • Oct 16, 2017 09:59 am
Michael Fassbender Alicia & Michael in LA Alicia Vikander was in Paris earlier this week for the Louis Vuitton presentation. On Tuesday Michael Fassbender was in London promoting The Snowman – I posted those photos here. By the end of that day he was seen with Alicia in Paris at the airport.

Movie Reviews and Previews The video game curse comes for Alicia Vikander After Assassin’s Creed’s failure, the video game curse remains unbroken, and now it is coming for Alicia Vikander. They have tried everything with video game movies, from 1990’s super-cheese to high fantasy (Warcraft) to artsy realism (Assassin’s Creed). None of it worked, and nothing in the By Sarah • Sep 20, 2017 01:35 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Tulip Fever is insane Filmed in 2014, intended for release in 2015, eventually slated in 2016, inevitably kicked to 2017, and then bumped a few times just to be sure, Tulip Fever hop-scotched its way across release calendars so much it became a joke among film critics. Tulip Fever actually being released in theaters By Sarah • Sep 07, 2017 04:09 pm
