[This story contains spoilers from the Apple TV+ limited series Lady in the Lake, including its finale, “My story.”]

The process of turning Laura Lippman’s 2019 novel Lady in the Lake into an Apple TV+ limited series began more than three years ago and involves the series’ late executive producer, Jean-Marc Vallée, who died suddenly in late December 2021.

Vallée and producing partner Nathan Ross had read the book, with Ross checking it out quickly after its release thanks to a rave review from Stephen King in The New York Times. Ross told Vallée about the novel, thinking of Natalie Portman for the role of Maddie Schwartz, and Vallée wanted Alma Har’el for the project due to her work on the film Honey Boy, Shia Labeouf’s semiautobiographical drama.

Portman too saw and was impressed by Honey Boy.

Ultimately, Maddie was aided with information that helped shine a light on Shell Gordon’s (Wood Harris) criminal enterprise, allowing Cleo to make a getaway with her family, while also giving Maddie a shot at a big story. Despite the triumphs, one aspect of Maddie’s new life wasn’t so happy as she and Ferdie (Y’lan Noel) parted ways, but not before he...

Editor’s Note: The following post contains spoilers for Apple’s “Lady in the Lake.”

Like some of the best murder mysteries, Alma Har’el’s “Lady in the Lake” is not so much a whodunnit as a howdunnit — with a few good twists along the way. The Apple TV+ drama based on Laura Lippman’s 2019 novel aired its seventh and final episode on August 23, revealing the final pieces in the puzzle of Maddie Morganstern (Natalie Portman), Cleo Johnson (Moses Ingram), and Tessie Durst (Bianca Belle).

Throughout the seven-episode series — which started with Tessie’s disappearance and then death — Cleo’s narration has hinted at the connection between herself and Maddie, and the eventual consequences of what binds them. After weeks of alluding to a sinister and even fatal ending, the finale gives both women the kind of freedom they didn’t have in their old lives.

What really happened to Cleo?...

Apple TV+ has been on a winning streak this year, releasing some of our favorite shows this year! Before Lady in the Lake, we were glued to our seats every Wednesday to catch a new episode of Presumed Innocent, starring Jake Gyllenhaal. If you missed the legal drama, I absolutely recommend you check it out. All episodes are now streaming on the Apple TV+ platform. Now, our current obsession? Lady in the Lake, starring Natalie Portman.

Having Natalie Portman attached to a project is already a great sign that it’s going to be a brilliant series. But the storytelling and supporting cast also needs to match.

With temps climbing and the sun frankly being just too bright, there’s no better time to hide away in a dark, air conditioned movie theater. And luckily, August has delivered on giving us all some exciting films for us to see as we shelter-in-place (at the theater). This month we have everything from alpine horror to a couple of music led pics, and some home viewing including a vertigo-inducing romance. Check them out below.

Get ready for a brilliant psychological thriller from Apple TV+ in its latest series, Lady in the Lake. Created by Alma Har’el, the Apple TV+ series is based on the 2019 novel of the same name by author Laura Lippman. Lady in the Lake has brilliant performances from its two leading actors and a thrilling story that will have you glued to your screens.

Lady in the Lake is set in 1960s Baltimore and it follows the story of Maddie Schwartz, an investigative journalist as she ditches her overbearing husband to pursue her career and work on the murder case of two mysterious separate killings, which brings her in conflict with a woman working to advance the agenda of the city’s Black community.

Plot: When the disappearance of a young girl grips the city of Baltimore on Thanksgiving 1966, the lives of two women converge on a fatal collision course. Maddie Schwartz, a Jewish housewife seeking to shed a secret past and reinvent herself as an investigative journalist, and Cleo Johnson, a mother navigating the political underbelly of Black Baltimore while struggling to provide for her family. Their disparate lives seem parallel at first, but when Maddie becomes fixated on Cleo’s mystifying death, a chasm opens that puts everyone around them in danger.

Review: Cultural divides and parallels have always been fascinating material for dramatic series. The similarities between Jewish and Black communities are far more than many realize, as both groups have been subjugated over the years. By contrasting two very different journeys for the main characters in Lady in the Lake, Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram chronicle the countless similarities the...

Superficially stylishly expressive and dreamy but listlessly placed, overfilled with plot and straining to make thematic connections between its two lead characters, “Lady In The Lake” is a frustrating and often uninvolving series bogged down in too many storylines. Worse, it ambitiously tries to tell too disparate narratives and then weave them together but frequently spins its wheels and never really engages. On paper, it’s abounding with significant talents; it has an accomplished writer/director at the helm, two powerhouse leads (Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram), and a solid supporting cast.

After Honey Boy, director Alma Har’el appeared ready to take over the world. She took home the First-time Director award from the DGA and wowed many with her showcase feature. However, sometimes it takes a minute to find the right project, and lucky for us, Alma Har’el found Lady in the Lake. Based on the acclaimed novel by Laura Lippman, Har’el directs all seven episodes of the 1960’s set murder mystery. Told from the perspectives of a Jewish journalist and a black bookkeeper, the story dives into the racial and misogynistic politics of the era. Har’el dives into the intricacies of the story with vigor, creating a deeply satisfying journey with brutal honesty about its characters.

In 1960s Baltimore, a young girl named Tessie Fine goes missing. For Maddie Schwartz (Natalie Portman...

“You think every story is your story,” Maddie Morganstern’s son Seth bitterly argues late in the Apple TV+ miniseries Lady in the Lake. This is a common accusation other characters level at Maddie (Natalie Portman), a Jewish woman in mid-Sixties Baltimore who has left Seth (Noah Jupe) and her husband Milton (Brett Gelman) to reinvent herself as a newspaper reporter. The series is narrated by Cleo Johnson (Moses Ingram), a Black woman who becomes the titular lady in the lake when her body is found thanks to Maddie’s reporting.

Created by Alma Har’el and adapted from Laura Lippman’s crime novel of the same name, Lady in the Lake draws inspiration from two real-life murder cases in 1960s Baltimore. Maddie Schwartz (Natalie Portman), a middle-class mother in an unfulfilling marriage, serves as a bridge between the contrasting social worlds of the two victims: an 11-year-old Jewish girl, Tessa Durst (Bianca Belle), and an unidentified Black woman who investigators believe may be Cleo Johnson (Moses Ingram), a missing mother of two.

In the opening episode, Tessa disappears while attending a Thanksgiving parade with her parents. Drawn by her fascination with seahorses, the young girl wanders into a tropical fish store, where she encounters the creepy manager, Stephan Zawadzkie (Dylan Arnold), and a Black customer, Reggie Robinson (Josiah Cross). These early episodes, marked by the uncertainties of Tessa’s death, set the stage for the show’s intrigue involving the central mystery.

Natalie Portman has always been a fashion icon for me. Her red-carpet appearances consistently strike a balance between elegance and sophistication, a quality I truly admire.

However, her latest look isn’t quite what I expected – it lacks the usual refinement I associate with her style. That doesn’t change my love for her, though!

Un thriller noir que no te puedes perder. © Apple TV+

Apple TV+ ha publicado el tráiler oficial de “La Dama del Lago”, basada en la novela de la autora superventas Laura Lippman. Un febril thriller noir y una sorprendente historia sobre el precio que pagan las mujeres por sus sueños.

Cuando la desaparición de una niña conmociona a la ciudad de Baltimore el Día de Acción de Gracias de 1966, las vidas de dos mujeres chocan fatalmente. Ellas son Maddie Schwartz (Portman), un ama de casa judía que intenta deshacerse de un pasado oculto y reinventarse como periodista de investigación, y Cleo Sherwood (Ingram), una madre que navega por los bajos fondos políticos del Baltimore negro mientras lucha por mantener a su familia. Sus dispares vidas parecen paralelas al principio, pero cuando Maddie se obsesiona con la misteriosa muerte de Cleo, se abre un abismo que pone en peligro a todos los que las rodean.

So it turns out Apple TV+’s “Lady in the Lake” looks different than some had expected.

The Natalie Portman-led limited series is described as “a feverish noir thriller and an unexpected tale of the price women pay for their dreams.” Based on the information released so far, it seemed like a 1960s period piece/murder mystery/character drama about an investigative journalist who prioritizes her career over her family.

But the new trailer for the series reveals dreamlike fantasy sequences, narration from beyond the grave, and unsettling psychological thriller flourishes. This is “Black Swan” Portman as much as “Jackie” Portman.

On Wednesday, Apple TV+ announced the premiere date and shared a first-look photo from “Lady in the Lake,” a seven-episode limited drama series starring and executive produced by Academy Award winner Natalie Portman the streamer describes as “a feverish noir thriller and an unexpected tale of the price women pay for their dreams.”

The series is based on a 2019 novel by bestselling mystery author Laura Lippman. It’s set in late-1960s Baltimore and follows two women from different communities who become linked by a missing girl.

Portman plays Maddie Schwartz, a Jewish housewife seeking to shed a secret past and reinvent herself as an investigative journalist. Moses Ingram (Emmy nominee for “The Queen’s Gambit”) is Cleo Johnson, a mother navigating the political underbelly of Black Baltimore while struggling to provide for her family.

In Maddie’s timeline, Cleo is deceased, and Maddie becomes obsessed with untangling the strange circumstances of her death.

Natalie Portman is taking a page out of her “Jackie” days and venturing back to the 1960s — this time, to investigate a murder.

The 54th NAACP Image Awards, which aired on CBS from the Pasadena Civic Auditorium Saturday night, has wrapped. Queen Latifah hosted the proceedings, which honored the best in Black entertainment for the proceeding year. Inclusive awards that they are, the Image Awards often give a hat-tip to performers of color who aren’t Black, though: Tenoch Huerta Mejía won Best Supporting Actor for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” which also won Outstanding Motion Picture.

That film received another big award in the form of Best Supporting Actress for Angela Bassett, who is by far now the frontrunner for the Academy Award. It was one of two awards of the night for Bassett, as she also won Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series for her role in “9-1-1.”

Among other notable winners, Will Smith won Best Actor for his role in “Emancipation.” And “P-Valley” won Outstanding Drama Series, along with Nico...

Mo McRae’s face may be more recognizable than his name. As an actor for more than 20 years with over 60 credits and counting he’s worked steadily, appearing on TV and in film in such roles as Benjamin Berry in “The Flight Attendant,” Blip Sanders on the short-lived “Pitch,” and Gus Henderson in “Den of Thieves.” Now he’s moved behind the camera as the co-writer and director of “A Lot of Nothing,” his feature film debut.

Officially, the film is about an uber-successful Black married couple whose perfect lives are knocked off kilter when they learn via the evening news that their cop neighbor, who is white, has killed a kid. In a time where the police killings of Tyre Nichols in Memphis and George Floyd in Minneapolis are front of mind, they assume that the victim is Black and decide to get answers. And that’s when everything goes wrong.
