The Ballad of Hattie and James review: A sweeping symphony of sexual identity and music

The Independent  

From a tune played on one of those annoying pianos at St Pancras station, Samuel Adamson spins out a beautiful epic in miniature, following the lives of a boy and a girl, musical prodigies Hattie and James. For one thing, Hattie and James are both gay, and for another, he turns the story – like Wife – into a big …

Music Review: Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams sing about the power of love on ‘All This Time’

Associated Press  

Drawing from personal experience, husband-and-wife duo Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams sing about first-rate romance on their latest collaborative album, “All This Time.” Their marriage of 35 years — he from New York City and she from Peckerwood Point, Tennessee — had a partnership that was “love at first note,’’ as Williams describes it, and has blossomed musically with the …

Book Review | Lawyer's ballad of Yerawada Jail reflects on the lives of 76 prisoners

Deccan Chronicle  

This is a remarkable document of life observed from the Phansi Yard or Death Row of the Yerawada Women’s Jail in Pune by an extraordinary individual who made a conscious choice to be a trade union worker and human rights lawyer in order to stand with marginalised people, rather than build a career as a mathematician after emerging with a …

The Hunger Games The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes review: An ambitious yet flawed return to Panem

Hindustan Times  

The return to Panem feels frighteningly chilly given the real world horrors that surrounds us today. Helmed by Francis Lawrence, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, recognizes the key thematic extremes of its dystopian YA trilogy while mounting the events that shaped up the destiny of Coriolanus Snow. The premise Set decades before there was Jennifer Lawrence's …

Review: ‘Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes’ feels rushed on its way to fascism

LA Times  

It’s been eight years since the release of the last “Hunger Games” film, “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2,” which means enough time has passed that it feels appropriate to return to the well that produced big box-office dollars for Lionsgate, and made Jennifer Lawrence a household name. It also helps that author Suzanne Collins released a prequel novel …

Review: The Hunger Games return in ‘The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,’ with the odds in its favor

Associated Press  

Two hours and 37 minutes is pretty long for a “ballad,” but you can’t call it “The Hunger Games: The Three-Cycle Opera of Songbirds and Snakes” now, can you? Concision was never much in favor in the four “Hunger Games” films, which reached a seeming finale with 2015’s “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2.” The intervening years have done …

Review: There are many heirs to her throne, but Adele is still queen of the ugly-cry ballad

LA Times  

The timelessness of “30’s” themes suits Adele, who’s remained steadfast in her musical identity as the record industry has changed around her. Named, like all of Adele’s albums, after the age at which she began writing it, “30” — the highest-profile in a string of white-woman divorce albums that also includes Kacey Musgraves’ “Star-Crossed” and Carly Pearce’s “29: Written in …
