Out director/producer Lee Daniels, from Monster’s Ball fame, kills it with this film. Oprah-endorsed, a lesbian teacher, and a surprisingly strong performance from Mariah Carey makes this the best gay-friendly film I’ve seen all year.
Directed by Rob Marshal — the former choreography, turned Tony nominee/Academy Award nominee/ Golden Globe nominee/Emmy winner– returns with Nine. The out director of Chicago and Memoirs of a Geisha gets lots of famous, award-winning actors (and Kate Hudson) to sing and dance with beautiful cinematography.
Tom Ford makes his directorial debut with the A Single Man, a film about an English professor who, after the sudden death of his partner, tries to go about his typical day in Los Angeles. While I have issues with Tom Ford’s love of misogyny in his clothing ads – seen here, and here, and here, and here, and here and here – this looks worth seeing. I am biased though – ever since The Hours (or was it The Lost World?), I am sucker for anything with Julianne Moore.
