Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything is far from a tell-all on the esteemed journalist, but the film produced by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard’s Imagine Documentaries does go beyond the headlines Walters made during her career as a broadcaster to explore her childhood, her drive and the relationships, personal and professional, that shaped her life. “We really wanted to make sure that we understood all angles of her,” director Jackie Jesko tells The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s not only her record-breaking insane television career in which she interviewed dictators, celebrities and all these different kinds of people with equal skill and…

A desk of one’s own was Charlotte Eskildsen’s starting point for a collection that brought together the ideas of a private space and a purposeful life. Collecting images of women at their work spaces led, the designer said on a call, “to my whole inspiration about how you look, what you do, and what are you wearing when you follow your ambition and your rhythm.”Eskildsen certainly hit her stride this season with an offering that refined ideas she’s been working on so they exude an air of confident maturity.

“28 Years Later” dazzled film critics with its zombie thrills and genre shifts, but the latter has made it a tougher pill to swallow for moviegoers. The long-awaited sequel has divided audiences with its out-of-left-field final scene and unexpected story pivots. “28 Years Later” begins as an intense zombie survival thriller between a father (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and his son (Alfie Williams), but its second half evolves into a spiritual tearjerker between a mother (Jodie Comer) and her son. None of the marketing for “28 Years Later” suggested audience members might bawl during the film. As noted by The Independent in…

Rule one of a good picnic: don’t bring anything that needs a knife and fork, or a fridge. Rule two: nothing too crumbly (we’re looking at you, filo). Rule three: bonus points if it gets better after a few hours in a sealed plastic container in the sun.

And if you drop a piece? Rule four: pretend it never happened.Broccoli, pea, broad bean and leek maa’kudaPrep 15 minCook…
