Under the Bridge review – Lily Gladstone leads respectful yet bland true crime drama | Television

Under the Bridge review – Lily Gladstone leads respectful yet bland true crime drama | Television

Published by skeptic

As a true crime drama in the year 2024, Hulu’s Under the Bridge at least knows the giant potholes of the genre to avoid. The eight-episode limited series starring Lily Gladstone and Riley Keough, an adaptation of Rebecca Godfrey’s 2005 book on a sensational murder in Canada, knows not to glorify law enforcement as hyper-competent, or to privilege perpetrators’ emotional lives over a faceless victim’s, or to depict gratuitous violence. “I think people should be remembered for who they were, not what happened to them,” Keough, as Godfrey, tells the parents of Reena Virk, a 14-year-old girl horrifically beaten to death and drowned by both strangers and her so-called friends. As an exercise in how to make entertainment out of a real crime with real perpetrators and victims – particularly Virk, ably embodied by Vritika Gupta – Under the Bridge is self-aware and empathetic, clearly thinking through implications, its heart in the right place. Unfortunately, as a television show, it often has the feeling of flat cola – tepid, stale and reminiscent of something buzzier …

The heinous crime became a media sensation due to the moral panic surrounding teenage “girl violence” at the time. Rebecca Godfrey, an author from Victoria, was among those captivated by the horrific story of the young teen slain in her hometown. While in the process of writing her debut novel (2001’s The Torn Skirt), Godfrey received numerous calls from friends about the murder. “I went home soon after [the killing] and went into the prison,” she told Interview Magazine in 2019. “I was just stunned because the girls all looked like normal, cool, young teenage girls, not particularly like killers.” Over the next six years, Godfrey conducted exhaustive research, interviewing the accused and attending court trials, all of which would go on to …

Lily Gladstone, Riley Keough DM’d For Years Before ‘Under the Bridge’

Published by Sam

The star-studded casting of Lily Gladstone and Riley Keough in Hulu‘s Under the Bridge, as it turns out, all started in the DMs. The series, which counts Keough as an executive producer, is based on the true story of Reena Virk, a 14-year-old girl who was beaten and murdered by a group of teenagers in Canada in 1997. Keough stars as Rebecca Godfrey, who investigated and wrote a book on the tragedy, with Gladstone as a local police officer trying to solve the case. At the show’s Los Angeles premiere on Monday, Gladstone recalled forming a bond with Keough in 2017 as they ran in the same Hollywood circles, when she was promoting Certain Women and the Daisy Jones and the Six star was releasing American Honey. “I was aware of her work anyway but I feel like being in each other’s orbit then, I became very curious about who this talent was. I also was just very taken aback when she started following me on social media — and not just following,” Gladstone told The …

Lily Gladstone Is “Feeling the Love Big Time” Even After Oscars 2024 Loss

Published by skeptic

Despite walking away from Oscars 2024 empty-handed, Lily Gladstone says she is “feeling the love big time.” The Killers of the Flower Moon star, who would have become the first Indigenous or Native American person to win an Oscar for acting, came up short in the night’s tightest race against eventual winner Emma Stone for Poor Things. On Monday, Gladstone said she was absorbing the post-Oscars support “especially from Indian Country,” she tweeted. “Kittō”kuniikaakomimmō”po’waw – seriously, I love you all.” In parentheses, she added alongside a winking emoji, “Better believe when I was leaving the Dolby Theater and walked passed the big Oscar statue I gave that golden booty a little Coup tap – Count: one.” X content This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. Although Gladstone was not one of the Oscars 2024 winners and Killers was snubbed entirely, the actor said she felt represented onstage by best original song nominee Scott George performing Killers of the Flower Moon’s “Wahzhazhe (A Song For My People)” with the Osage Singers …

Best-actress nominee Lily Gladstone merged her Native American heritage with familiar red-carpet names like Gucci and Bulgari for her looks at both the Oscars 2024 ceremony and Vanity Fair’s Oscar Party. Gladstone, whose nomination for her role as Mollie Burkhart in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon makes her the first nominee of Siksikaitsitapi and Nimiipuu heritage in the category—has worked with stylist Jason Rembert to integrate Indigenous designers in her red-carpet appearances throughout awards season. Courtesy of Elias Tahan/Bulgari. Gladstone followed a royal blue gown for the Oscar ceremony with a beaded black number for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Gucci collaborated with Joe and Sunshine Big Mountain of Ironhorse Quillwork for both dresses. The Ironhorse Quillwork team’s intricate work on Gladstone’s cape and earrings was amplified by Bulgari sparkles. As Gladstone told Vanity Fair in an interview for this year’s Hollywood issue: “The high fashion is fun because it proves the point that Native design belongs with luxury. It’s so cool when you have a garment, whether it be Indigenous design or …

Perhaps, even, she wasn’t quite sure she was meant to win. Her turn as Bella Baxter in Yorgos Lanthimos’s Poor Things, about a reanimated woman with a baby’s brain who rediscovers the world step by step, sensation by sensation, is truly joyous. She offers us Bella’s curiosity, her fierce intellect, her unsteady limbs, her wildfire emotions – all without ever demeaning or infantilising her. She’s a fabulistic creation, given flesh-and-blood relatability through Stone’s contributions. And, yet, for many, the win didn’t quite feel right. And it seemed as if Stone might be inclined to agree. Her speech rushed towards the words: “Lily, I share this with you. I’m in awe of you.” For much of the lead-up to awards season, the conversation …

The trio, who were all nominated for Best Actress, shared an emotional group hug during a commercial break at the 96th Academy Awards.

The other Best Actress nominees – including Anatomy of a Fall’s Sandra Hüller and Maestro’s Carey Mulligan – might have not been a part of the group hug, but they were at the ceremony. Although Stone ultimately won the coveted award, there was no ill will between her and fellow nominee Killers of the Flower Moon star Lily Gladstone. The pair reportedly developed a strong bond throughout the awards season. The two actors were often pitted against each other in the race for …

Lily Gladstone Was Upset When Cate Blanchett Didn’t Win Oscar for Elizabeth

Published by Sam

It’s not unknown that Lily Gladstone is a huge fan of Cate Blanchett, but the actress is recalling her reaction when Blanchett missed out on an Oscar for Elizabeth. The Killers of the Flower Moon star recently told People magazine that she was disappointed when the Tár actress didn’t win the Academy Award for best actress for her role as Elizabeth I in the 1998 biographical period drama. “I’ve idolized Cate Blanchett since I was a teenager. When … she was up for Elizabeth at the Oscars and didn’t win, I remember just being really, really upset about that,” Gladstone said. “She’s my ultimate actress. I think she’s the great talent of this generation.” That year at the 71st Academy Awards, Blanchett was nominated alongside Fernanda Montenegro, Meryl Streep, Emily Watson and Gwyneth Paltrow, who ultimately won the Oscar for Shakespeare in Love. Gladstone, who is nominated for her first Oscar this year for her performance as Mollie Burkhart in the Martin Scorsese-directed movie, previously expressed during The Hollywood Reporter‘s actress roundtable how much she looked up to Blanchett …
