GRIND SHOWS

Films in London today: WHAT SHE SAID: THE ART OF PAULINE KAEL at DocHouse (06 to 12 SEP).
Films in London today: WHAT SHE SAID: THE ART OF PAULINE KAEL at DocHouse (06 to 12 SEP).

SPRINTER d. Storm Saulter, 2019 at ICA (11 SEP – Not showing today, check back tomorrow!):

  • “Akeem Sharp, nicknamed the Rasta Rocket for his once-in-a-generation speed, is set to be Jamaica’s next big track and field sensation. Akeem hopes his success in athletics will take him to the US to reunite with his mother, who has been supporting the family from afar on a long-expired work visa. But Akeem’s rising star is weighed down by turmoil at home.”

WHAT SHE SAID: THE ART OF PAULINE KAEL d. Rob Garver, 2018 at DocHouse (11 SEP 18:30):

  • “It’s near impossible to build a career as a female film journalist, but Pauline Kael defied the odds. WHAT SHE SAID tells the story of Pauline Kael, longtime New Yorker film critic and best-selling author, and her battle to make a name for herself. Never a dull read, Kael was also a force to be reckoned with. With her letters, interviews and published work narrated by Sarah Jessica Parker and late-20th-century movies reframed through Kael’s lens, the controversial yet pioneering critic is brought into focus.”
