RIP Pauline Collins - a wonderful, warm actress who touched so many lives. ‘Shirley Valentine’ proved that feminist films can be feelgood and funny, as well as life-changing. I’m rewatching the doc about her on C5 - so glad I got to contribute briefly. #paulinecollins

Anna and Nia were joined on stage by the three stars of the film, Tessa Thompson, Nina Hoss and Imogen Poots. The three stars each deliver a powerhouse performance in HEDDA, a gender-flip reimagining of Ibsen's classic. @annasmithjourno.bsky.social

At the end of last year, I moderated this conversation between Nicholas Hoult and James McAvoy for Rolling Stone UK. No Superman chat, as this was about their 2024, but it was a revealing and funny chat... www.rollingstone.co.uk/film/feature...

I have a lot of thoughts about the new #Superman, one is that this Lois Lane is a smart, cynical woman with agency, a refreshingly quirky wardrobe and a self-described 'punk' attitude 👏 #RachelBrosnahan
