There is little here we did not already know, but this is nevertheless a fascinating counterpoint to royal propaganda. Kudos to Harry’s audacity at being unwilling to perpetuate a noxious paradigm.

Now with winners indicated.

Rene Russo’s smart, aggressive TV news director is fantastically complex, though she is in several ways entirely at the mercy of the male protagonist. [This post is not behind the paywall.]

Noirish 1950s cynicism meets nasty 1970s Corman-esque exploitation in a thriller that is uncomfortable, unpleasant, unforgiving, and pretty darn brilliant.
