Charlize Theron stars as Marlo in “Tully.”
“Tully”: The combination of Academy Award-nominated director Jason Reitman (“Up in the Air”) and Academy Award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody (“Juno”) has produced a tale that is both emotionally beautiful and uncomfortably compelling. They have taken a simple examination of motherhood and produced a complex tale of pain, hope and anxiety. Marlo (Charlize Theron) has just given birth to her third child. She’s determined to be a perfect mom despite daily emotional and physical challenges. Her brother (Mark Duplass) suggests hiring a night nurse, but Marlo is hesitant because she doesn’t want to show weakness. Eventually, she gives in, and the most perfect nanny this side of Mary Poppins — named Tully (Mackenzie Davis) — shows up to help. Not only does she give Marlo a break from the demands of motherhood, she also becomes a friend and a confidant. Cody’s script masterfully weaves the worlds of the two women into a single thread that looks strong but could break at any moment.
The way Cody lays out the journey guides the viewer to unforeseen places brought to life through Theron’s performance and Reitman’s directing skills. “Final Portrait”: Stanley Tucci is one of the more dependable performers in front of the camera, but he doesn’t show nearly the confidence with his adaptation of James Lord’s memoir, “A Giacometti Portrait.” Both his writing and directing show signs of skill, but eventually the movie fades away like a painting left in the sun too long. In 1964, American writer and art lover James Lordis (Armie Hammer) is asked by his friend, artist Alberto Giacometti (Geoffrey Rush), to sit for a portrait. The process is only supposed to take a few hours, but it turns into weeks. The film has the same feel. It starts out as an interesting look at the creative process through the eyes of Giacometti but eventually drags. Hammer tries to get the most out of the role, but his story is as limited as his movement when posing. Despite having two great actors in front of the camera and one behind the lens,
“Final Portrait” comes across as unfinished. ALSO NEW ON DVD JULY 31 “Iron Brothers”: Two fur trappers struggle to survive against the elements and the Shoshone tribe. “Nature: Shark Mountain”: A look at the thousands of sharks that hunt along the volcanic reefs of Cocos Island. “Counterpart: The Complete First Season”: Bureaucrat (J.K. Simmons) in a Berlin-based U.N spy agency discovers a link to a parallel dimension. “Anything”: A man dealing with the loss of his wife finds friendship in a rundown Hollywood apartment complex. “Piranha II”: The horror film that was James Cameron’s directorial debut is being rereleased. “The Miracle Season”: Helen Hunt and William Hurt star in this film based on the true story of the Iowa City West High School girls’ volleyball team. “NOVA: Wonders”: Series that makes complicated concepts more understandable while examining the scientific process. “Murdoch Mysteries, Series 11”: Detective William Murdoch

MUSIC REVIEWS Like naturalist, unscripted dialogues among its chatty, competitive players, each take ticks the tempo and the testiness levels higher and livelier into an epiphany of laughs and tears. With the impeccability of “Lost Tapes,” here’s hoping Coltrane’s crew digs for additional treasure. – A.D. Amorosi, The Philadelphia Inquirer FUTURE, “Beastmode 2” — Since they slipped by while I was listening to the mushmouth rapper, a quick lyric scan reveals that drugs are indeed still referenced in seven out of nine cuts, and no one on the charts does so more luridly or grimly: “Codeine, it sit on my kidney and dissolve” is the opening line of “Some More.” Yet the grotesquerie quotient for this guy is overall pretty down on the moststreamed mixtape of all time, and the, er, emo levels are up. So there’s less “molly, molly, percocet” than plaintive melodies warbling reflections such as “Got more guns than a terrorist when I think about it,” and “Damn, I hate the real me.” Latter is from the same closer where Future’s mom expresses disappointment and he gets a rousing chorus out of “I’m trying to get high as I can.” Someone tell the streamers it’s anything but a drug anthem. – Dan Weiss, The Philadelphia Inquirer DEAFHEAVEN, “Ordinary Corrupt Human Love” — I don’t normally
listen to black metal, but when I do, I prefer Deafheaven. To genre purists, that dilettantism might label me a loser, a wuss, or, even worse, a “hipster metal” fan. That’s because while the San Francisco quintet employs many hallmarks of the genre — snarling voice of Beelzebub vocals, distorted guitars, all-the-wayup-to-11 sheets of noise — the George Clarke and Kerry McCoy-led band also borrows from atmospheric subgenres such as shoegaze, and refuses to be monolithic in its musical approach. Deafheaven makes music that can literally shake you to your core. But the band also mixes melody with mayhem and specializes in interludes of shimmering beauty, often employing both tactics in individual compositions such as the alternately pounding and also really pretty “Honeycomb.” The band’s fourth album takes its name from a passage in British author Graham Greene’s 1951 novel “The End of the Affair,” whose narrator wishes for a measure of normalcy in his life, rather than the emotional roller coaster ride he finds himself on. Likewise, “OCHL” seeks meaning in the mundane, as it takes pleasure in slow rolling ballads such as “Near.” But though it may be less histrionic than previous Deafheaven records, its seven songs — four of which last more than 10 minutes — still instinctively make the push toward transcendence. – Dan DeLuca, The Philadelphia Inquirer
Rare Bowie demo tape found in bread basket By RACHEL DESANTIS Los Angeles Times
A demo tape by a teenage David Bowie is headed to auction after the rare recording was discovered
in an old bread basket. The 1963 tape was found in the home of David Hadfield, drummer for Bowie’s first band, The Konrads, and features a 16-year-old Bowie singing the group’s original song “I Never Dreamed,”
according to the BBC. The tape, which was rejected by record label Decca, is expected to reel in about $13,000 when it goes to auction in September, as it’s the first known recording of the future Ziggy Stardust.

JOHN COTRANE, “Both Directions at Once: The Lost Tapes” — On March 6, 1963, at Rudy Van Gelder’s New Jersey studio, saxophonist John Coltrane — quickly moving forward from the sharp harmonies of his immediate past to a deeper, spiritualized sense of unbound improvisation — recorded an album capturing his richly incendiary, live quartet dynamic; the intuitive force he shared with bassist Jimmy Garrison, drummer Elvin Jones, and Philly pianist McCoy Tyner. Then, everyone put away, and forgot about the tapes. Until now. The release of “The Lost Tapes” — which just gave Coltrane his highest-ever Billboard Top 200 Album Chart position at No. 21 — is more than historic, era-appropriate (fits handsomely between the equally vivid “Coltrane” of 1962 and 1964’s “Crescent”), or representational of Trane’s transitions. It’s fresh and alive — a frenetic, moody set of seven modern full-fledged compositions (with seven additional takes on a deluxe edition) that casts new fiery light on the Coltrane canon. Most potent within those “Tapes” is the frisky bop of “Nature Boy,” the sensualist swing of “Untitled Original 11386,” and the snake-charming invocation “Slow Blues,” and its pulsing, improvisational flow. Most thought provoking, however, is the “Impressions,” of both standard and deluxe editions, with its ever-so-slightly varied versions.

TRAVEL
A guide to Portland, beyond the birds and beards By MEGAN BURBANK The Seattle Times
Portland may have a reputation for putting birds on things and performative quirkiness, but, as with most things, the reality is a lot more complicated. That’s a good thing, and it should be the guiding principle for your next visit to the city. PROPER ATTIRE
While you’re in Portland, you’ll probably spot at least one incredibly cool-looking person wearing a shirt that reads “Wild Feminist” across the chest. This is the work of Portland women-owned, feminist-informed clothing line Wildfang (1230 SE Grand Ave.; 404 SW 10th Ave.). This is a company that recently came up with an inventive response to the uproar over Melania Trump heading out to immigrant detention centers for children clad in a jacket that read “I really don’t care. Do u?” Wildfang retooled a military-inspired jacket from their own line so the back of it reads “I really care. Don’t u?” With all proceeds from the $89 jacket going to the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES), a Texas-based organization that provides free or low-cost legal assistance to immigrant children and families, the first 100 coats sold out within an hour, and three days after the initial run was announced, Wildfang had raised about $250,000 for RAICES, a company representative told Teen Vogue. While we’re on the subject of shopping: Skip downtown’s Saturday Market, which manages to be simultaneously underwhelming and kind of a madhouse. If you want locally designed clothing, you can get it from Portland lines such as Bridge & Burn (1122 SW Morrison St.) and Poler (413 SW 10th St.), and if handicrafts are your thing (or

you really need a Nikki McClure print), try Tender Loving Empire, Land Gallery and Crafty Wonderland. If you’ve got a predilection for vintage, go digging for thrifted treasures at Magpie (1960 SE Hawthorne), which will impress even your coolest vintage connoisseur friend, and where I found a red cocktail dress from the ‘60s with an actual chiffon cape the last time I was in town. It set me back all of $18. PHYSICAL MEDIA LIVES
Powell’s City of Books (1005 W. Burnside St.) is legendary for a reason, and it’s one of Portland’s touristy stops you absolutely must not skip. The small-press section is great for scoping out books from local indie publishers. The kids and YA sections are a massive treat for children and anyone who was once a child, the true crime section has rubberneckers covered, and the best-seller wall is always a fun glimpse into what the city’s reading and thinking about. (Hate crowds? Visit Powell’s second, smaller store in the Hawthorne District at 3723 SE Hawthorne Blvd.) Portland is home to a wide array of excellent, cheap movie theaters that almost all sell pizza and beer (the Laurelhurst Theater, at 2735 E. Burnside St., even has mimosas). Living Room (341 SW 10th St.), down the street
from Powell’s, has extremely comfy armchair-style seats and a full-service menu. And the Hollywood Theatre (4122 NE Sandy Blvd.), the only theater in Oregon equipped to show movies in 70mm, is kind of an institution. If your film nostalgia extends to video stores, still-standing Movie Madness (4320 SE Belmont St.) is worth a visit. The platonic ideal of a friendly neighborhood video store, this is where you can find an out-of-print edition of “Silence of the Lambs,” or pay a visit to a tiny collection of Hollywood treasures, including one of the prosthetic ears used in “Blue Velvet” (yikes!). THE GREAT NEARBY
One of the best things about Portland is that you can actually go on a full-blown hike without leaving the city. Northwest Portland’s Forest Park is a sprawling, urban-adjacent gem. In Southeast Portland, smaller but no less impressive Mount Tabor is home to an extinct volcano, huge cedars, oddly grand outdoor reservoirs and, at the summit, a beautiful view of the city. If you’re in the mood for a bike ride, the Springwater Trail, along the Willamette in the Sellwood neighborhood, is the most picturesque stretch I’ve ever ridden — you’ll cruise down a flat, paved trail that passes a wildlife refuge and an amusement park. DOUGHNUTS AND DAY-DRINKING
I know: You feel obligated to go to Voodoo Doughnut, alleged fried-dough icon of Portland. But unless you want to wait in line for a dry-in-the-middle doughnut coated in gluey layers of Day-Glo frosting and novelty toppings like (stale) Froot Loops, don’t. Get a real treat at Blue Star (1237 SW Washington St.; 3549 SE Hawthorne Blvd.; 3753 N. Mississippi Ave.), which makes
dense, chewy, flavor-saturated doughnuts using a brioche-style flour. The result is sweet — doughnuts should be sweet — but not so sweet it’ll make your teeth hurt. If you’re a nostalgic East Coast transplant, you might also appreciate Sesame Donuts (1503 SW Park Ave.), which was originally a Dunkin’ Donuts franchise, and makes the closest thing to a “regular coffee” you can find in the Pacific Northwest. For fancier meals, Le Pigeon (738 E. Burnside St.) is where I took my French cooking-expert aunt when she visited for French-inspired Northwest fare. Little Bird Bistro (215 SW Sixth Ave.) is another good option for a Parisian meal that’s closer to the traditional thing. And I can say nothing but good things about the Ace Hotel’s restaurant, Clyde Common (1014 SW Stark St.), where I have passed many a pleasant evening over honey-butter popcorn and cocktails with friends. For breakfast (or any meal, really) head to Lauretta Jean’s (3402 SE Division St., 600 SW Pine. St.) for coffee and pie that’ll satisfy your inner Dale Cooper. In the afternoon, Portland’s summertime back patios become its oases. I recommend the ones at Night Light Lounge for chill neighborhood bar vibes or brunch (you can almost always get a table), Aalto Lounge (3356 SE Belmont St.) and Rontoms (600 E. Burnside St.) for eavesdropping on extremely hip Tinder dates and A-plus people-watching, and the Space Room Lounge (4800 SE Hawthorne Blvd.) for when you really just want a dive and a picnic table. But the piece de resistance of Portland’s outdoor drinking options can be found at Revolution Hall (1300 SE Stark St.), a converted high school in Southeast Portland that now operates as a venue for music and comedy, and has the nicest rooftop bar I have ever been to.

“Mr. Popper’s Penguins” is this year’s film in the “Read the Book, See the Movie” program hosted by the Mount Vernon City Library. A barbecue and ice cream social will follow the film in Pine Square. Mr. Popper (Jim Carrey) is a successful real estate developer in Manhattan. He lives in a posh apartment on Park Avenue, and is on the fast track to a partnership in a prestigious company. However, his life changes radically when he receives a final gift from his late father — a live penguin, which is soon joined by five more penguins. The birds’ antics soon win over Mr. Popper, and as he bonds with the penguins, his chilly relationship with his ex-wife (Carla Gugino) and kids begins to thaw. Rated PG. Free, donations accepted.

MINI-REVIEWS
‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’ is pure action with gasp-worthy stunts By KATIE WALSH Tribune News Service
Is it even summer without a “Mission: Impossible” movie? Hardly. Thankfully, another installment of the Tom Cruise-starring action franchise, “Mission: Impossible – Fallout,” drops this weekend, as sturdy and reliable as ever. Under the swift and efficient supervision of writer/director Christopher McQuarrie, this is the kind of action filmmaking that proves to be an effective antidote for superhero fatigue, with a sense of realism baked into every shot. There’s no messy digital CGI here as our heroes try to stop explosions from happening with their fists and bodies. But there comes a point where we must ask: What does it all mean? Of all the “Mission: Impossible” installments, “Fallout” may be the sparest and most efficient — not counting the truly wild and gasp-worthy stunts. It’s taut and unadorned; there’s very little flash or distraction in the form of eye-popping costumes or exotic locations or gadgetry. There is no cinematic sleight of hand performed as a digression. It’s pure action wrapped around a twisty tale of terrorism, covert ops and the one man who stands between the world and nuclear destruction, Ethan Hunt (Cruise). The films have become less about espionage and intrigue, and more about Cruise and his death-de-

fying acts of cinematic physicality, so McQuarrie strips away everything that might stand between Cruise and his stunt. He shoots in long shots with minimal cuts, and he keeps Cruise in and out of close-up to prove to the audience that it’s him. It’s an action movie that embodies the ethos of “pics or it didn’t happen.” There’s no quick editing, stunt doubles or face-swapping. That’s Cruise, glancing over his shoulder on a motorcycle before he T-bones a car in Paris traffic. That’s Cruise, dashing across a rooftop and taking a flying leap, scrabbling to cling to the edge of a London office building. And yes, that’s most definitely Cruise, wrestling himself onto the undercarriage of a helicopter over the snowy Kashmir mountains in a sequence that will leave audiences laughing,
gasping and cheering in disbelief. The film’s theme is choice, drawing from the well-known instruction: “Your mission, should you choose to accept it …” That choice has never been drawn out before, but the question is posed as Hunt and his team secure Solomon Lane (Sean Harris), a former British intelligence agent-turned-terrorist. Has Ethan ever not chosen a mission? For whom is he choosing to act? But the question is always “how?” rather than “why?” “Fallout” quickly drops the existential crisis for the fun and thrills of action, twists and identity swaps, for the added excitement of lethal CIA agent Henry Cavill and his biceps and mustache. But for a film ostensibly about politically motivated violence, it’s strangely apolitical, and it doesn’t have much to say on that topic at all. Ethan
is motivated to extreme acts of adrenaline-pumping bodily peril simply because he loves his loved ones and wants to save them. But frankly, the lack of any sort of social or cultural relevancy is obvious. At a certain point you yearn for the film to say something — anything. Nevertheless, here’s hoping they never stop making “Mission: Impossible” movies. For as long as Cruise can defy death, age and the normal laws of physics, they should keep making them. For as long as McQuarrie or Brad Bird is available to direct his insane stunts, they should keep making them. Tom Cruise is a heck of a movie star who never stops pushing his own limits, and that is always worth the watch. – 2:27. Rated PG-13 for violence and intense sequences of action, and for brief strong language. HHH (out of four stars)
Compiled from news services. Ratings are 1 to 4 stars. “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” — The gang returns from the 2008 original for more deliberately nearcampy, candy-colored fluff with a plot dictated by Abba’s bubblegum hits, but it’s impossible to work up disdain because it’s harmless and it’s silly and it’s good-natured, and all those veteran actors are such gamers. Musical, PG-13, 113 minutes. HH “The Equalizer 2” — The great Denzel Washington reprises his role as McCall in a brilliant performance that often rises above the pulpy, blood-soaked material. It’s slick, violent, fast-paced, well-acted but by-the-numbers summer fare. Action crime, R, 120 minutes. HHH “Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot” — The sometimes experimental director Gun Van Sant delivers a conventional biopic of John Callahan, a hard-drinking free spirit who was paralyzed in a car accident but went on to produce some of the most memorable cartoons of the late 20th century. Joaquin Phoenix disappears into the role, avoiding Method madness as he depicts Callahan’s long, sometimes torturous journey to sobriety and self-actualization. Biography, R, 113 minutes. HHH “Eighth Grade” — Writer-director Bo Burnham has delivered something of a minor cinematic miracle: a sweet and intelligent portrait of a 13-year-old girl that never feels contrived. Elsie Fisher gives an authentic and utterly natural performance as Kayla, one of those painfully shy, nearly invisible kids without a clique or any close friends. Comedy drama, R, 93 minutes. HHH½ “Skyscraper” — In this cheesy and predictable semi-thriller, Dwayne Johnson climbs and jumps as a security consultant rescuing his family from a Hong Kong tower infiltrated by terrorists. It’s like “Die Hard,” but not nearly as smart or gritty or well-acted. Action, PG-13, 103 minutes. HH “Eating Animals” — Natalie Portman narrates this documentary telling the story of the independent farmer, who has been all but driven out of business by the industrial livestock-rearing complex. Documentary, not rated, 94 minutes. HHH½ “Shock and Awe” — Woody Harrelson and James Marsden deliver outstanding performances as Knight-Ridder reporters who after 9/11 wrote stories questioning the existence of Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction. Historical drama, R, 90 minutes. HHH “Whitney” — While Whitney Houston’s story has been told in other films and countless TV segments, this documentary is the most comprehensive and intimate portrait yet, thanks in large part to unprecedented access to Houston’s family members and close associates. It’s alternately exhilarating and heartbreaking. Documentary, R, 120 minutes. HHH½ “Sorry to Bother You” — Lakeith Stanfield knocks it out of the park as a black guy whose mastery of the “white voice” makes him a telemarketing superstar. Veering all over the place from social satire to screwball romance, the movie earns points for pushing the envelope, pushing the buttons on incendiary topics, and pushing the boundaries of conventional storytelling. Comedy, R, 105 minutes. HHH

MOVIES “Leave No Trace” — An emotionally damaged war veteran (Ben Foster) and his loyal teenage daughter (Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie, a natural) leave their comfortable home to risk life-threatening conditions in the woods. The mournfully beautiful film is a brilliant and timely and telling statement about the difference between the haves and the have-nots. Drama, PG, 109 minutes. HHHH “Ant-Man and the Wasp” — After the dramatically heavy conclusion to “Avengers: Infinity War,” it’s nice to enjoy a (mostly) self-contained and smile-inducing summer rollercoaster ride bolstered by the excellent comedic timing of Paul Rudd and company, not to mention some dazzling and dizzying CGI moves designed to thrill and to score solid laughs. Superhero action, PG-13, 120 minutes. HHH “Boundaries” — Despite excellent performances from Vera Farmiga as a hippie mom and Christopher Plummer as her pot-dealing dad, this reconciliation road trip is a bit too cute and clever for its own good. And the ending is pure hokum. Comedy drama, R, 104 minutes. HH “Uncle Drew” — To win a Harlem tournament, a parttime basketball coach (Lil Rel Howery) recruits a team
of former players in their 70s headed by the legendary Uncle Drew (Kyrie Irving). Even though the film is outlandish and predictable and downright corny, I loved the positive energy and the steady diet of inside-basketball jokes. Sports comedy, PG-13, 103 minutes. HHH “Damsel” — In this consistently funny feminist Western, a wealthy pioneer (Robert Pattinson) is among the men who make the mistake of believing Mia Wasikowska’s Penelope is a delicate, vulnerable flower who must be saved. Wrongo, boys. This particular damsel is smarter and more resourceful than you can possibly fathom. Comedy, R, 113 minutes. HHH½ “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” — The CIA operative (Josh Brolin) and the assassin (Benicio del Toro) from 2015’s “Sicario” team up to start a drug cartel war in this powerful and pulpy modern-day Western. It’s a brilliant, bloody, gritty, dark and sometimes fantastically over-the-top fable about the evil men (and women) will do in the name of political agendas, self-preservation and the quest for power. Crime action, R, 123 minutes. HHHH “The Bill Murray Stories: Life Lessons Learned From a Mythical Man” — Comic great Bill Murray is famous for materializing out of
nowhere at parties, bars, on the street, mingling for a while and then disappearing as quickly as he arrived. Why does he do this? Director Tommy Avallone sets out to answer this question in a documentary that had me smiling from start to finish. Documentary, not rated, 70 minutes. HHH½ “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” — How terrible is this exercise in wretched excess about dinosaurs being evacuated from Isla Nublar before a volcano can wipe them out? It’s “Rocky V” bad. It’s “Jaws 3D” bad. Sci-fi adventure, PG-13, 128 minutes. H½ “Tag” — Despite the best efforts of a cast headed by Ed Helms and Jake Johnson, this comedy about friends in their 40s from Spokane who reunite each year for a month-long game of tag is a deadly drag, filled with uninspired slapstick gags and cardboard characters that practically dare us not to like them. Comedy, R, 100 minutes. H½ “Superfly” — Like the 1972 blaxploitation original, this remake reinforces stereotypes as it follows a drug dealer ready to give up the game. But it succeeds at what it wants to be: an action-packed, sexy, violent, 21st-century crime thriller. Crime thriller, R, 116 minutes. HHH

‘Love, Cecil’ nicely captures the enigma that was Cecil Beaton By KENNETH TURAN Los Angeles Times
Cecil Beaton labored for much of his life under the terror that he might be considered ordinary. Yet ordinary was the last word anyone would think to apply. Gifted and successful as a photographer, writer and artist as well as a set and costume designer, Beaton, if anything, as he himself put it, “wandered in the labyrinth of choice.” Asked by an interviewer, “Which is your main profession?” at the start of Lisa Immordino Vreeland’s empathetic, involving “Love, Cecil,” the subject responds with practiced affability. “I wish I knew,” he says. “That’s been my problem for a very long time.” There was a point in time when Beaton, who published 38 books, won four Tonys and three Oscars and was knighted into the bargain, was a ubiquitous presence on the English language cultural scene. But 38 years after his death, Beaton’s name is not so much on everyone’s lips, and one of the pleasures of this film is to revisit his gifts beyond his best known work, the Oscar-winning production design and costumes for “My Fair Lady.” Vreeland’s previous documentaries also dealt with artistic figures, including Peggy Guggenheim and Diana Vreeland, her husband’s grandmother, so she is well positioned to take Beaton on. And her subject certainly helped his cause by writing 150 volumes of candid, perceptive diaries, excerpts from which are superbly read by Rupert Everett. The son of unapologetically middle class parents — his father was a timber merchant — Beaton always yearned for the stature and status of upper class life. Theater-struck as a boy as well as intensely ambitious, Beaton was determined to be a star performer on a stage of his own creation. A self-described “rabid aesthete,” Beaton taught himself photography, using his sisters as models, because that was an art, unlike theater or film, “I could do without being invited.” The tireless, hell-bent quest for beauty became what Beaton’s life was all about. As he himself put it with a certain weariness, “I exposed thousands of rolls of
film and wrote hundreds of thousands of words, all in a futile attempt to preserve the fleeting moment.” But that idealistic quest didn’t mean Beaton couldn’t be waspish about other people, or, for that matter, they about him. Jean Cocteau famously called Beaton “Malice in Wonderland” and both Truman Capote and George Cukor, who directed that 1964 “My Fair Lady,” are featured in vintage footage making dismissive comments. As for Beaton himself, he was hostile toward Noel Coward and Evelyn Waugh, the later since childhood, despised Elizabeth Taylor for her vulgarity and said of her husband Richard Burton that he was “as butch and coarse as only a Welshman could be.” In the face of all this vitriol, it is a tribute to Beaton’s gifts, and Vreeland’s persuasiveness as a documentarian, that we end up caring about and appreciating her subject. Beaton first came to public notice as a photographer of the artistically daring British socialites between the wars known collectively as “the Bright Young Things.” Beaton took himself to New York, where his photographs and his illustrations caught on at Vogue, and then went to Hollywood, where he made exceptional portraits of movie stars that captured, the film explains, the idea of the person photographed, not the person per se. Though his gifts were obvious, Beaton also had a penchant for sabotaging himself, and he blunted his upward trajectory by printing in Vogue, for reasons no one can adequately explain, illustrations with an anti-Semitic slur embedded in them. It took years, but two things brought Beaton back from ignominy. One was the hard and dangerous work he put into patriotic projects during World War II, and the other was the bond he formed with a big chunk of the British royal family, including Queen Elizabeth II and some two dozen of her relatives. Beaton managed to keep his currency as new kinds of culture came in, and “Love, Cecil” features new interviews with fellow British artists David Bailey and David Hockney about what interacting with him was like.
