Late Night
A legendary late night TV talk show host, Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson), is threatened to be replaced by a younger, hipper, more relevant personality. Molly Patel (Mindy Kaling) is a chemical plant efficiency expert who becomes the new diversity hire trying to fit into a team of all white male comedy writers. This smart comedy/drama was written & produced by Kaling. It tackles many issues including ageism, nepotism, elitism, gender discrimination, & the power of social media. The film is about not giving up on your dreams in the face of much adversity & modifying your public opinion perception image. Due to much audience laughter, a second viewing may be deemed necessary to hear the remainder of continued dialogue drowned out in response to certain hilarious moments.
Alien gives it 3 “standup routine” stars out of 4.
