AT THE MOVIES #897 WHAT FICTION MEANS
Simon Morris looks at three films that all, one way or another, play with audience expectations of a happy ending.
The 355 started out as a blockbuster thriller with a feminist twist, and ended up a programme filler on Prime Video. Stars Oscar-winners Jessica Chastain, Penélope Cruz and Lupita Nyong’o.
Luckiest girl alive is Netflix’s top title at the moment – a tale of a woman in danger of her carefully-arranged life falling around her. Starring Mila Kunis (Friends with benefits).
And at the cinemas, Spanish award-winner The good boss features Javier Bardem (No country for old men) as a boss whose door, he insists, is always open. But how good a boss is he really?
