You have an opinion on Jeremy Clarkson. This is understandable.

Family affair

Shiva Baby, in which a young woman and her sugar daddy collide at a Jewish funeral, is the indie film of 2021. Its star Rachel Sennott talks comedy and control with Rachel Aroesti

What is the most mortifying thing that has ever happened to you? A spectacular pratfall? An accidental reply all? For D anielle, the protagonist of the sublimely uncomfortable Shiva Baby, it has to be the moment when her parents decide to revive – with actions – a lullaby they invented for her as an infant (“Let’s make a baby shake!”) in front of her secret sugar daddy and his beautiful, accomplished wife at an already quite claustrophobic shiva (a Jewish funeral). Having just faced her law school- destined ex-girlfriend, as well as a sustained interrogation about her career (short answer: she has none), Danielle sweats and sways, as if struggling to choose between further humiliation or unconsciousness. Quarter-life crises don’t get more nightmarish than this. Expertly mediating all this agony, cringe and confusion is Rachel Sennott , a 25 -year-old, Connecticut -born comedian and actor whose deadpan, eerily naturalistic performance means we really feel Danielle’s pain. For, despite all its particular horror, Shiva Baby is a deeply relatable film. Danielle is about to

Which superhero has the best costume?

When saving the planet, it’s important to dress lately, but the stigma still trails behind the Man the part. This isn’t like taking the bins out. You of Steel like loo roll. Hulk doesn’t really have can’t hang off a chopper in a slanket and Crocs. a costume as such, just some tattered shorts . Superheroes understand this. Unlike James As for Thor, he ruins the good work of the cape Bond – who is permanently tuxed up a s if he’s and chainmail by accessorising with a Timmy about to host a pharmaceutical industry awards Mallett-style sledgehammer . Batman? I mean, bash – the offspring of Marvel and DC Comics sure, he’s sleek and shadowy. But he gets points have brought spandex, codpieces and vulcanised knocked off for the notorious bat nipples of the rubber out of the niche-interest sex-toy trade Joel Schumacher -era Batman & Robin, which and into the multiplex. But which superhero has suggested that the Dark Knight was off to suckle the best costume? a barnful of pipistrelles. “ I wasn’t thrilled with Maybe this should come down to the costume the nipples on the batsuit,” grumbled that film’s with the best gadgets. Iron Man has to be in incumbent, George Clooney. “Batman was just with a shout. After all, without his jet thrusters, constantly cold, I guess.” repulsor rays and, one assumes, a catheter, Tony But enough about the wardrobe malfunctions Stark is just a snarky yuppie with a heart murmur. – what about the fashion triumphs? You would Trouble is, he looks like a crash test dummy, with have to nod to Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman a nasty rhubarb-and-custard paint job. in Batman Returns: a masterpiece of bin-bag Or perhaps it’s all about the costume that looks couture that looks like something knocked up the coolest. Immediately, this cuts down the by Vivienne Westwood and Victor Frankenstein, competition. Superman’s outfitters might have sexually charged without being as unsubtle as dropped the whole pants-outside-trousers thing Halle Berry’s bra-sporting moggy from 2004 . By rights, Spider-Man’s costume shouldn’t work – it’s a red-and-blue romper suit with Power dressing: To wie eyeliner – but undeniably does, reflecting (clockwise from top) Iron Man; the character’s youth and athleticism. Wonder Black Panther; Catwoman; Woman has to be the genre’s most improved Wonder Woman dresser, evolving from the spangled gym knickers of the 7 0s TV show to the burnished warrior-like bodice of l ast year’s Wonder Woman 1984. In the end, though, it’s got to be Black Panther for the win. We could refer you to the king of Wakanda’s nifty gadgetry, with his suit constructed from a v ibranium microweave mesh that absorbs and redistributes the kinetic energy of his attackers. We could stare all day at the claw necklace, silver accents and perky little ears. But Black Panther’s victory runs a little deeper, too. In an overwhelmingly white movie genre, suit designer R uth E Carter ’s creation represents a genius splicing of African cultures, incorporating the geometry of tribal art in its chevrons and tessellated triangles . The outfit was even honoured as a star exhibit at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture . And that’s more than you can say for Robin’s budgie-smugglers.
