As much as we love covering the careers of prominent actors like "Spider-Man" franchise star Zendaya or "Mad Max: Fury Road" protagonist Tom Hardy, there's something uniquely exciting about looking at the work of a fast-rising star like Louis Partridge. Since appearing in Netflix's "Enola Holmes," opposite "Stranger Things" star Millie Bobby Brown, the 21-year-old English actor has appeared in some high-profile films and television shows, building his resume under the guidance of visionaries like Matthew Vaughn and Academy Award-winners Danny Boyle and Alfonso Cuarón.

At present, it sure seems as though Partridge is preparing to set the world on fire for the next few years, with starring roles in Steven Knight's "House of Guinness" and George Jaques' "Sunny Dancer" on the way. He's also slated to appear in Noah Baumbach's next film and will seemingly lead a new(ish) action franchise for Vaughn. If you want...

Gerwig is the director behind Lady Bird, Little Women, and most notably, the 2023 hit Barbie.

Unlike the Disney movie adaptations of the story, Gerwig's version has been reported to follow the chronological order of the books. Based on a recent interview, it is thought that Gerwig will be adapting The Magician's Nephew first.

Sherlock Holmes, the brilliant detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, has captivated audiences around the globe for generations. Over the decades, various actors have taken on the challenge of portraying this complex character, adding their unique flair to Holmes’ timeless persona. Two such remarkable interpretations come from Robert Downey Jr. in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes films and Henry Cavill in Netflix’s Enola Holmes films.

With the recent confirmation of Enola Holmes 3 following the success of the first two films, Cavill fans are excited to see his version of Sherlock once again. While both actors have delivered memorable performances, there are several reasons why Henry Cavill’s Sherlock Holmes stands out. So here are five reasons why Henry Cavill is a Better Sherlock Holmes than Robert Downey Jr.

1. Henry Cavill Captured Sherlock Holmes’ Serious...

James Norton is hard at work on his new Netflix series!

The 39-year-old Happy Valley actor sported fake blood on his head as he filmed scenes for the upcoming House of Guinness series on Monday (November 25) in Liverpool, England.

According to Deadline, the series is “billed as an epic story inspired by The Guinness family, a European dynasty made famous by the drink they brew. Set in 19th-century Dublin and New York, the story reimagines the period immediately after the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness, the man responsible for the extraordinary success of the Guinness brewery, and the far-reaching impact of his will on the fate of his four adult children, Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben, as well as on a group of Dublin characters who work and interact with the phenomenon that is Guinness.”

The cast also includes Jack Gleeson, Louis Partridge, Anthony Boyle, Emily Fairn, Fionn O’Shea, Seamus O’Hara,...

With so many Sherlock Holmes adaptations out there, it's understandable why Netflix's Enola Holmes has achieved accomplishments that others (like Robert Downey Jr.'s 2009 film) haven't, as it stands out from the rest. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Enola Holmes has an all-star cast, including Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, Helena Bonham Carter, and more. Still, the 2009 adaptation of Sherlock Holmes starring Downey Jr. was a success and quite entertaining. Unfortunately, Downey Jr.'s Sherlock Holmes hasn't reached the heights of Enola Holmes, and perhaps it never will.

Brown stars as the eponymous character in Enola Holmes, which is based on Nancy Springer's book series The Enola Holmes Mysteries. Meanwhile, Henry Cavill plays Sherlock Holmes, who is regulated to being a side character because the Netflix film series is all about the famous detective's sister. As mentioned above, both Enola Holmes movies have been a triumph for the streaming service,...

The third movie in Netflixs Enola Holmes franchise has received an exciting update. Per Deadline, Philip Barantini has been tapped to direct Enola Holmes 3. The first two Enola Holmes movies, released in 2020 and 2022, are two of Netflixs most successful movie titles. Deadline also reports that the series star Millie Bobby Brown is expected to return for the third film after production wraps on the final season of Stranger Things.

Barantini has directed several movies and TV series, including Boiling Point, Malpractice, and The Responder. He also recently finished a new four-part series for Netflix called Adolescence starring Stephen Graham (Venom: The Last Dance). Legendary Entertainments Mary Parent, Ali Mendes, and Alex Garcia will produce Enola Holmes 3 along with Brown and her production company Pcma Productions. Jake Bongiovi (who is married to Brown) and Isobel Richards will executive produce the movie for Pcma.

Cate Blanchett says it was an enormous relief when she finally filmed the finale of her Apple series Disclaimer.

“To finally have given voice to that trauma, to be able to tell the story in its entirety,” she says, was so monumental that she actually felt a physical reaction. “I didn’t realize how tense I was for six months until we finally filmed the confrontation scene with Kevin [Kline] where I could finally speak.”

Blanchett’s Catherine Ravenscroft is finally given the space to tell her story in that finale scene, and the one that she tells reframes everything the characters in the Alfonso Cuarón miniseries thought they knew. The flip on the show’s narrative also forces the audience to confront their own judgments made across the seven-episode series.

Up until that scene, Catherine, an acclaimed journalist, had been vilified and essentially canceled after a novel, called The Perfect Stranger,...

[This story contains major spoilers from the Disclaimer season finale.]

By the end of Disclaimer, viewers realize they were wrong.

The Apple TV+ series starring Cate Blanchett and from writer-director Alfonso Cuarón in the filmmaker’s first foray into television has been telling a multi-narrative story. There are four sets of storytellers in the seven-part series. There’s Kevin Kline’s first-person narrator, Blanchett’s second-person narrator, there are the people around Blanchett’s character (played by Sacha Baron Cohen and Kodi Smit-McPhee), and then there’s the contents of the book in the series, The Perfect Stranger. Not until the finale do viewers realize that they have been listening to everyone’s point of view except for Blanchett’s, and have created an unreliable narrative.

After six episodes of acclaimed journalist Catherine Ravenscroft (Blanchett) being painted as a terrible mother and wife, whose self-absorbed affair with 19-year-old stranger Jonathan (Louis Partridge) while on vacation in Italy led to his...

The cast of the Apple TV+ drama Disclaimer opened up about the shocking twist in the series final episode. The psychological thriller, written and directed by Oscar-winner Alfonso Cuarn and based on Rene Knights 2015 novel, stars Cate Blanchett as Catherine Ravenscroft, an acclaimed documentary journalist who becomes the subject of a mysterious novel that seems to expose a long-buried secret from her past. The story unfolds in a non-linear format, revealing crucial events from a young Catherines (Leila George) sordid affair in Italy with Jonathan (Louis Partridge) and its present-day repercussions.

In an interview with USA Today, George and Partridge discussed the intensity of their roles at the center of the series twist. The series finale reveals that Catherine was actually the victim of a series of sexual assaults by Jonathan, portrayed as the innocent victim in The Perfect Stranger, the novel written by his mother, Nancy, that haunts Catherine throughout the series.

Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Apple TV+'s 'Disclaimer' as well as conversations of sexual assault that may be triggering.With a star-studded cast and helmed by Alfonso Cuarn, Disclaimer has come to an end on Apple TV+. In the finale, the truth about what happened between young Catherine Ravenscroft (Leila George) and Jonathan Brigstocke (Louis Partridge) in the past is finally revealed, and it's nothing short of devastating, especially for Jonathan's father, Stephen (Kevin Kline), who has been on his vengeful quest to destroy Catherine's (Cate Blanchett) life.

From writer/director Alfonso Cuarn, the seven-part Apple TV+ series Disclaimer follows acclaimed investigative journalist Catherine Ravenscroft (Cate Blanchett) as she receives a novel from an unknown author that she quickly realizes shes actually the main character of. It delves into her past and her darkest secrets but does so from a perspective that is very different from her own memories. As the audience learns about Catherine, she is reminded of her experience many years prior with a young man named Jonathan (Louis Partridge) while facing how that has shaped her and affected her own family in the present. And everything is complicated even further by the fact that timelines and perspectives are woven together in a way that bursts the bubble Catherine has insulated herself, but that also doesnt fully grasp the true extent of the trauma until shes willing to open her own past wounds.

Editor’s Note: The following story contains major spoilers for the series finale of “Disclaimer.”

Like great opera, “Disclaimer” reaches a shattering — and unashamedly emotionally overwrought, and series-overturning — conclusion in its final seventh hour. And that’s even well before Catherine Ravenscroft (Cate Blanchett), hyped up on a pitcher of homemade cold brew downed at a junkie’s pace to dilute the tranquilizers Stephen (Kevin Kline) put in her tea, falls to her knees in a hospital at the notion that Stephen may have just killed her son (Kodi Smit-McPhee).

We learn in Episode 7 that the tell-all book dropped on Catherine’s doorstep in the premiere was indeed an elaborate fiction written by Jonathan’s (Louis Partridge) mother (Lesley Manville). That that summer two decades ago in Italy wasn’t a seduction on the young Catherine’s (Leila George) part but instead a stalking that ended in her brutal rape...

It’s late into the evening when Louis Partridge finally finds time to talk to The Hollywood Reporter.

The British star is shooting House of Guinness, a new Netflix series from Peaky Blinders mastermind Steven Knight. Partridge explains that he is playing a young Edward Guinness, effortlessly transitioning into a spot-on Dublin accent as he speaks: “It’s a posh, Dublin, Rp in 1869, so he talked like that. It’s not like the Dublin that you hear today, which is more like [boxer] Conor McGregor.”

As you read on, you’ll see the young actor has a knack for impressions. His acting chops are landing him bigger and bigger roles. Partridge’s big break came with Netflix’s mystery movie Enola Holmes, starring opposite Millie Bobby Brown as her love interest. At just 21, he’s now worked with the likes of Danny Boyle, Paul King, and is set to star in...

It is evident that discovering a secret about a loved one, especially someone with whom we’ve shared a significant part of our lives, can be devastating. As we scrutinize the relationship, trust comes into question, and doubts begin to creep in. But how often do we verify that the information is accurate, or consider that there may be another side to the story? How often do we give the other person an opportunity to explain or share an alternate perspective? Based on Renée Knight’s titular novel Disclaimer, a psychological miniseries written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón explores these themes. Currently streaming on Apple TV+, it delves into the complexities of trust, perception, and the hidden truths that can reshape our understanding of those closest to us. By exploring obsessions with love, jealousy, the male ego, and the pleasures of activities like eating, drinking alcohol, and smoking, Cuarón’s...

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Disclaimer” Episode 7 (“VII”) — the series finale — including its ending. For further coverage, read IndieWire’s episode reviews and spoiler-free full-season review.]

The first half of the “Disclaimer” finale dedicates itself entirely to Catherine (Cate Blanchett) — her story, from her point of view, in the way she wants to tell it — and, fittingly for a series as meticulously constructed as one would expect from writer-director Alfonso Cuarón, the very first sentence she speaks works as both ominous foreshadowing for the revelations to come, as well as a useful complement to last week’s opening line. Then, she started by saying, “The truth is,” and now, she starts by referring to Jonathan (Louis Partridge) as “the stranger.” Via voiceover, she says, “As soon as I got back to my room, the stranger immediately disappeared from my mind.” For Catherine, that’s all he was: an unknown man whose formal identity she only learned in death, and whose innermost monster she discovered the night prior.

“The truth is [Jonathan] is a stranger.

Apple TV+’s new psychological thriller, Disclaimer, takes its audience into a tense, layered world where truth and deception blur between personal histories and manipulative narratives. Written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón, the series stars Cate Blanchett as Catherine Ravenscroft, a journalist whose life is upended by a mysterious novel that seems to mirror a traumatic chapter from her own past. As she faces accusations, estranged family bonds, and the resurgence of buried secrets, Disclaimer delves deeply into the complex web of relationships—between husband and wife, parent and child, victim and accuser. With a cast featuring Kevin Kline, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Lesley Manville, the show explores how storytelling can be wielded as a weapon, reframing personal history with a hauntingly distorted lens.

In this article, we will explore the twists and turns of Disclaimer (2024), uncover the truth about Catherine’s horrifying dark secrets, and determine whether she was...

Sometimes, great movies that are met with universal acclaim from both critics and audiences alike do not find the same success at the box office. And one such example is the 2006 dystopian action thriller, Children of Men, which is now available to stream for free. Considered by many to be one of the best examples of the genre, Children of Men remains underrated among wider audiences who are seriously missing out on this stark look at what happens to society two decades after humanity suddenly becomes infertile.

Tackling several subjects that will hit (almost too) close to home, including a totalitarian police state, pandemics, the vicious treatment of immigrants, and the total collapse of society, Children of Men picks up in 2027 (getting closer!) and follows Clive Owens former activist as he stumbles across what might just be humanitys last hope. If you do feel like staring into the abyss, Children of Men...

And she speaks.

After five increasingly fishy episodes featuring everyone’s version of what happened in Italy except for the two people who were actually there, “Disclaimer” Episode 6 (“VI”) opens with Catherine (Cate Blanchett) finally sharing her version of events. It also, literally and purposefully, starts with three telling words: “The truth is.” Immediately, not only do we hear directly from Catherine (with Blanchett providing narration over the character’s fateful trip to Italy), but writer-director Alfonso Cuarón frames her story as the truth — not a book written by a grieving mother, not a set of photographs taken by her dead son, but the truth, straight from a primary source.

Catherine’s sun-baked vision of the past, visiting many of the same locations seen in the book, loses a bit of its color in this telling. There’s less vibrancy to the hotel bar,...

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Disclaimer episode 6.Disclaimer episode 6 ends with one of the show's biggest cliffhangers yet, as things begin to come to a head between Catherine Revenscroft (Cate Blanchett) and Stephen Brigstocke (Kevin Kline). The truth about what happened between Catherine and Jonathan (Louis Partridge) in Disclaimer has not yet been fully revealed, but the sixth and penultimate episode does start twisting the narrative away from the events depicted in the book The Perfect Stranger, and perhaps towards reality.

Throughout the episode, flashbacks to Italy in Disclaimer's past timeline are now narrated by Blanchett herself, allowing Catherine to tell her side of the story: that she and Jonathan did not have an affair, but rather that he was creepy, and seemingly stalking her. It's part of a complicated episode that ratchets up the tension, including Stephen's plan to murder Nicholas (Kodi Smit-McPhee), and ends with a confrontation, finally, between...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Disclaimer episode 6.

Apple's mystery thriller series Disclaimer depicts a heated affair between Jonathan and Catherine that leads to a tragic death. Cate Blanchett leads a talented ensemble cast of Disclaimer as Catherine Ravenscroft, a hard-working and acclaimed television documentary journalist out of London, England. Catherine's world unravels once a mysterious novel titled The Perfect Stranger arrives at her doorstep, bringing up memories of one of her deepest and darkest secrets. Disclaimer also stars Sacha Baron Cohen as Robert, Catherine's husband, Kodi Smit-McPhee as Nicholas, Robert and Catherine's son, and Kevin Kline as Stephen Brigstocke, a local London man who has lost his wife and son.

Created by Oscar-winning director Alfonso Cuarn, Disclaimer is based on the 2015 book of the same name written by Rene Knight. The show offers up a twisted, complicated narrative that obfuscates the truth, telling a story-within-a-story where viewers are left trying...

Back in 2018, Netflix and the C.S. Lewis Company reached a multi-year deal to adapt all seven Chronicles of Narnia books as movies. Then, in 2022, it was revealed that Greta Gerwig — the director behind mega-blockbuster Barbie — had signed on to helm at least two of those films. But other than that, we don't know much more about the upcoming Narnia reboot.

Netflix has not been in any rush to push out a new string of Narnia films. The streamer has plenty of family-friendly fantasy movies and shows in its catalog to pass the time, such as Damsel and Avatar: The Last Airbender. The Narnia movies are still in the early days of development, and nobody has been cast yet. Several names are being rumored, such as Louis Partridge and Saoirse Ronan.

As for right now, before production has even started, Greta Gerwig is reportedly still figuring out the logistics of how to release the movies.

Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for 'Disclaimer' Episode 5.Stephen Brigstocke (Kevin Kline) has gone full-on revenge mode in Episode 5 of Disclaimer on Apple TV+. He's taking no prisoners as he dismantles Catherine Ravenscroft's (Cate Blanchett) existence apart. He is enacting revenge on the woman who is responsible for the untimely drowning death of his 19-year-old son, Jonathan (Louis Partridge), whom she had taken for a lover during a torrid two-day sexual romp on vacation almost 20 years ago in Italy. Kline is knocking it out of the park as the elderly, mischievously sadistic man who has become hell-bent on making Catherine's life as miserable as possible. He has gone to extreme lengths to get his revenge, shifting his sights on her floundering son Nicholas (Kodi Smit-McPhee). Still, it is getting to the point just over midway through Alfonso Cuarn's limited series where you have to begin wondering precisely what Stephen's...

Based on the novel of the same name by Rene Knight, with a talented cast led by two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett, the adaptation is written and directed by four-time Oscar winner Alfonso Cuarn. The seven-episode drama focuses on the acclaimed journalist Catherine Ravenscroft, who is played by Blanchett.

King has offered up his thoughts on Disclaimer, sharing briefly that the dramatic thriller starts off a little slower. But the legendary author notes that audiences will be rewarded if they continue on with the series and writes, in part: stick with it and youll be engrossed.

Told in seven chapters, Disclaimer is based on the novel of the same name by Rene Knight.

“Every step of the way, I felt like I hit the jackpot on this,” declares two-time Oscar and 10-time Grammy-winning singer/songwriter and musician Finneas O’Connell about debuting as a TV composer for the prestige drama “Disclaimer.” For our recent webchat he adds, “like any opportunity like that, you feel this immense pressure to not be the weak link, to not mess it up. I love pressure like that. I think one of the things that drew me to composing for film and television in the first place was the feeling, like when I make a pop album, the first several albums, when I was less experienced, I had this real feeling of anxiety of ‘I don’t know how to do this, I don’t know what I’m doing,’ but it really pushed me to learn all this stuff and to create stuff in a way that I would never otherwise have created.

Jack Gleeson appeared on Game of Thrones for four seasons as boy king Joffrey Baratheon, a character so vile and loathsome that fans universally cheered when he was poisoned to death at his own wedding. Gleeson became famous off the back of that role, but being best known as a preening, sadistic jackass probably isn't the kind of famous most of us would like, which might be part of the reason Gleeson laid low for a while after he exited the series. We can only imagine the kinds of asshole roles he was being offered.

Now that Game of Thrones has been over for years, Gleeson is getting back into the acting game, which is good news for us because he's a talented guy. He'll appear in the second season of The Sandman next year, and has also joined the cast of Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight's new show House of Guinness,...

Apple TV+'s buzzy new mystery meets psychological thriller Disclaimer features an intriguing narration style that keeps viewers on their toes. Disclaimer focuses on successful documentary filmmaker Catherine Ravenscroft (Cate Blanchett), who receives a novel in the mail that details the true story of a deeply personal secret from 25 years earlier. The show marks acclaimed director Alfonso Cuarn's television debut, following his Academy Awards for 2013's Gravity and 2018's Roma.

Catherine's secret is her previous affair with a 19-year-old Jonathan Brigstocke (Louis Partridge) on an Italian beach vacation years earlier, while her husband Robert (Sascha Baron Cohen) was away on business. Jonathan drowned saving her toddler-aged son on the beach, and Catherine seemingly lied to local police about not knowing him personally. Disclaimer's alternating narration, relayed largely by Indira Varma, shows the characters' varying perspectives on Jonathan's untimely death and its aftermath.

We caught up with actors Leila George and Louis Partridge as their acclaimed new miniseries Disclaimer began streaming on Apple TV+. From masterful director Alfonso Cuarn, it's a twisty, star-studded ensemble led by Oscar winner Cate Blanchett, whose journalist protagonist must revisit her past once certain long-lost events resurface in more ways than one. Playing a young Blanchett in a series of gripping flashback sequences is fellow Australian actress Leila George (Animal Kingdom).

"I would have loved to spend more time watching [Cate] and shadowing her on set, but unfortunately, I came to the project really late in the process, and she was wrapping up just as I was beginning, so I had about one day's crossover to rehearse," George told MovieWeb, adding:

"We all blocked through some scenes together, some of the major, more important scenes, just so that we could see what her vision for those scenes were, and...

Alfonso Cuarón’s new foray into the world of television with the AppleTV+ thriller, “Disclaimer,” based on the novel of the same name by Renee Knight, delves into many of the questions that have peppered his work — ideas about family, both biological and chosen, masculinity, and secrets that can threaten a life carefully constructed.

Knight’s novel has plenty of those themes to work with and the medium gives Cuaron’s already-expansive world-building even more breathing room. The series stars Cate Blanchett as Catherine Ravenscroft, a famous journalist and documentarian, who unexpectedly receives a copy of a new novel, which she soon discovers features a barely-masked version of her as the main character. Along the way, the novel reveals a secret she’s long kept hidden from her family and the world at large.

The series is deliciously twisty and gorgeously rendered, and putting Blanchett toe to toe with Kevin Klein...

We spoke to chameleonic icon Sacha Baron Cohen on the day his new miniseries Disclaimer began streaming on Apple TV+. Working off the acclaimed novel by Rene Knight, Oscar winner Alfonso Cuarn wrote and directed the entire small-screen adaptation, which offers a wild array of twists and turns thanks to a dense story about modern journalism and broken families. Cate Blanchett leads the A-list cast, and Cohen (The Trial of the Chicago 7) plays her troubled husband. Film buffs already know of Blanchett's extreme talents as an actress, and Baron revealed to us how his extensive experience through those acclaimed mockumentary films paid off in spades to help keep up with performing alongside her:

"She's such an incredible actor. I mean, she's one of the legendary actors of screen and stage there. For me, it was easier, actually, because a lot of the reality stuff that I've done, you know,...

“I have been a friend of Sacha’s for a long time. We spoke a lot about collaborating, and sometimes he sent me projects, and everything that we were talking about was comedy, and we always wanted to work together. And it was not until here that I offered (a role) to him. And he was like, ‘But why me?...
