that they seem to be, so it's doing quite a clever thing, which is it is a potboiler on one hand, but it is also about something far more substantial. i haven't read the book, but i'd very much enjoyed the film, it is called the collini case and it is in cinemas now. 0k. now respect, i really want this to be good because aretha franklin, what a figure and what a story. yes, extraordinary life story and it is played byjennifer hudson, who is fantastic in the lead and everybody expected this. aretha franklin herself basically appointed jennifer hudson and was very controlling on the project right up until her death in 2018 and she said tojennifer hudson, you are the right person to do this. that is great, she can sing and act, she has a great presence and that is great. i think the problem is the film itself is not quite as exceptional as either its central performance or indeed as aretha franklin. it is a very tumultuous life story and the film wants to play things fairly safe, so there is domestic abuse, alcoholism, there is a lot of stuff that is quite dark and the film
are full of things that never happen in real courtrooms, like people producing witnesses out of nowhere that nobody�*s heard of, people presenting papers that ijust happen to have in my bag... i quite like a courtroom drama too, you see... yeah, i'm a suckerfor it. i keep expecting somebody to slam the table and say, "you can't handle the truth!" if you accept that the drama itself is contrived and it does have all those conventions, then i think it's very entertaining. but more importantly it is about something very serious. it is about that thing of looking back into the past, looking back into a country's guilty past and your own family's guilty past, and asking questions about whether people are the people that they seem to be. so it's doing quite a clever thing, which is, it's a very entertaining potboiler on one hand, but also it's about something far more substantial. as i said, i haven't read the book, but i very much enjoyed the film. it's called the collini case and it's in cinemas now. ok, now, respect. i really want this to be good because, aretha franklin —

which is, it's a very entertaining potboiler on one hand, but also it's about something far more substantial. as i said, i haven't read the book, but i very much enjoyed the film. it's called the collini case and it's in cinemas now. ok, now, respect. i really want this to be good because, aretha franklin — what a figure, what a life story. an extraordinary life story. so the good news is, she's played byjennifer hudson, who is fantastic in the lead role. i mean, ithink everybody expected this. aretha franklin herself effectively appointed jennifer hudson. she had, you know, she was very controlling on the project right up until her death in 2018, and she said tojennifer hudson, "you're the right person to do this." so that's great, i mean, she can sing, she can act, she has charisma, she has presence, and it's a great performance. i think the problem is the film itself isn't quite as exceptional as either its central performance or, indeed, as aretha franklin. it's a very sort of tumultuous life story and the film wants to play things fairly safe. so there's domestic abuse, there is alcoholism,
