The Broken Hearts Gallery 3/5

  The Broken Hearts Gallery film review ★★★ Directed by NatalieKrinsky Written by NatalieKrinsky Starring Geraldine Viswanathan Dacre Montgomery I have no problem at all with scary movies, I love them. But I gotta be honest, I can’t think of many things more frightening than the prospect of dating in today’s social climate. So kudos to writer/director Natalie Krinsky for squeezing so much feel-goodness out of the dating tribulations of twenty-something New Yorkers in The Broken Hearts Gallery. Lucy (Geradine Viswanathan), a gallery assistant, is smarting from a painful breakup. Her roommate besties Amanda (Molly Gordon from Booksmart, Good Boys, Life of the Party) and Nadine (Hamilton‘s Phillipa Soo) are helping her cope. The first lesson in letting go: get rid of all that junk you’ve saved as souvenirs from past relationships! But a chance meeting with Nick (Dacre Montgomery from Stranger Things), a budding hotel owner, spawn an idea. If Lucy will help get the hotel ready for open...

Des ITV new 3 part drama on Dennis Nilsen

  Des is on ITV in three parts from Monday 14 to Wednesday 16 September. David Tennant undergoes a chilling transformation as serial killer Dennis Nilsen in this three-part, true-crime drama, documenting his arrest for the killing of at least 12 men across London in the 1980s and subsequent trial and meetings with biographer Brian Masters, whose book the series is based on. Tennant’s eerily understated performance is accompanied by Jason Watkins as Masters and Daniel Mays as the investigating detective, DCI Peter Jay, tracking him down amid increasing media scrutiny. "I think Dennis Nilsen himself became rather obsessed with his legacy after he was caught," the star says. "Anyone who had known him at all, it seemed, said he was at best unremarkable and at worst bloody boring to be around. And yet, If you read his own writings about himself, the self-aggrandisement and the narcissism is breathtaking."
