E poi c'è Katherine

A feel-good movie with strong similarities with Il diavolo veste Prada (2006) and Quinto potere (1976). Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson) is the host of a famous talk show. She has nevertheless rested on her laurels and has badly reacted to the gravis illness of her husband who is obviously the unique pillar of her life, even if she did not realize it yet. Because the talk show is now a shadow of its former self, Katherine needs now new blood to invigorate the texts prepared by her team of dialog writers. Until the improbable arrival of Molly (Mindy Kaling).

The pace is dynamic with excellent verbal jousts and the characters are rather well-built. 6/7 of 10

Emma Thompson is one of those actors that spans the range of roles, and makes every character real. This behind the scenes look at Late Night hosted by a successful now 56 year old woman had moments of humor, some social issues, Hollywood issues, and ends up deciding to do something different, be real. It does fall in the range of a good film, but not a great one, an enjoyable film not a laugh riot. The character is a driven woman who succeeded in a man's world, and the cuts of her hair, her pant suits, even how she behaves is very masculine, what women often do to succeed in a man's world. The character is layered and interesting as she walks through a kind of mid-life crisis, career and husband. It's more of a character piece, which I prefer anyway. A good evening's watch.

I found LATE NIGHT to be a mildly pleasant film with somewhat smart dialogue. A pleasure to watch the fine acting of Emma Thomson and John Lithgow

Watched Late Night. I did enjoy it. Not an amazing piece of writing, but overall an enjoyable film. I love Emma Thompson, Denis O'Hare and John Lithgow. "Amazing actors" I've enjoyed for years. The film has it funny, sad and happy times. If you choose to watch it, you will like this film as it carries well. I don't see me watching it again, but did enjoy it, and as always. I'll follow these 3 actors because they never stop giving us their very very best.

I saw this movie yesterday and I loved it! Emma and Mindy are an amazing pair. It's a little reminiscent of Devil Wears Prada but in only the best of ways. Emma Thompson brings a vulnerability to her stern, straight laced character who is stuck in her own ways. Mindy's character gets hired to work for Emma's Late Night talk show to help get it back on track to avoid cancellation. Mindy is incredibly charming, sweet and very opinionated in her role. These two ladies knock it out of the park and will make you laugh and cry. It's not every day we get to see a team up like this. The story is passionate, the jokes are hilarious, and the emotions are sincere. I highly recommend, it was a good time at the movies.
