Jack Davison’s Throwback to a Golden Age of Editorial Portraiture 2019-07-21T04:00:00Z Randall’s anger and humiliation at being laughed at is the most characterization he’s gotten on the show — a glimpse into his fractured, violent psyche. “Outlander” shows full male nudity — and laughs in the face of rape 2015-04-26T04:00:00Z I think in the long run, the embracing of a kind of distancing, distanced, condescending approach to characterization, broken up - that's all bull----.

Cut-rate budget, first-rate frights 2011-08-05T23:30:00Z Critics found the campaign offensive, in no small measure because the name of the fragrance, which translates as “wild,” calls to mind an abiding racist characterization of Native Americans.

A tale of two Lears: Glenda Jackson and Antony Sher scale Shakespeare's mightiest tragedy 2016-11-30T05:00:00Z Even though that game is set in the 26th century, the characterization and feel of the plotting are grounded in reality. Rockstar, Blizzard and Quantic Dream Lead the Pack 2010-08-06T16:00:00Z An objection may be justified, but the more logical protest would be against the show’s thin, utilitarian characterizations and the increasingly tone-deaf nature of its formerly tolerable mix of full-metal medieval-fantasy violence and soap-opera sentimentality.

The horrific night that changed a family’s life forever 2017-08-03T04:00:00Z This may seem an unlikely characterization of an obviously expensive musical, replete with special effects that brim well over the edges of the National’s vast Lyttelton stage.

Eleanor Roosevelt’s Love Life, as Fodder for Fiction 2018-05-15T04:00:00Z His theatrical characterizations may not be as finely chiseled, but he brings a game spirit to the undertaking and is willing to do just about anything for a guffaw. 'A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder' kills it at the Ahmanson 2016-03-24T04:00:00Z Though “Estancia” is one of his most old-fashioned creations, the kinds of characterization and storytelling he undertakes in it are plainly lessons he wants to learn and share with these dancers. Dance Review: Wild and Tamed in Wheeldon?s ?Estancia? at City Ballet 2010-05-30T22:21:00Z I’m still not buying his hairpin characterization turns this season — and adding Tiffany to the mix does not help — but there’s a flicker of last season’s sharpness in watching his awkwardness with Madison. ‘UnREAL’ Season 2, Episode 8: ‘That’s Not This Story’ 2016-07-26T04:00:00Z Far more elegant, precise and useful — not to mention kind — is to write about physical appearance not in terms of fat or thin, pretty or ugly, but in expressiveness, grace, characterization and movement.

Book review: ‘Irene’ by Pierre Lemaitre 2014-12-14T05:00:00Z This robotic characterization draws on a dated stereotype of Asians as stoic, unfeeling workaholics. Stop calling Asians "robotic" please 2022-04-23T04:00:00Z It was even better the 2nd time thru as I was better able to absorb the characterizations and the tangential descriptions of locale, history, medicine, etc. because there was no need to discover plot points. ‘Outlander’ Season 2, Episode 2: The Wounds We Carry 2016-04-16T04:00:00Z High Maintenance remains a hit of pure unadulterated joy, its deft characterizations and presentational comedy retaining the same surefootedness it had when it inhabited the purer space of a web series.

Harlan Coben on why even bestselling authors get those self-loathing writer blues 2019-03-25T04:00:00Z The stretched out, heavily padded “Inventing Anna” works as a clichéd morality tale but stumbles badly as a piece of storytelling — more invention and incident means less coherence and less consistent characterization. ‘Inventing Anna’ Review: The SoHo Scammer, Explained at Length 2022-02-10T05:00:00Z His characterizations were vivid and cohesive, so much so that you thought for a moment that a throat-clearing incident was part of the show. Music Review: Andreas Scholl and the English Concert - Review 2011-10-25T20:36:28Z Lefkow’s Toby — exuding swagger, at one point with a pineapple-shaped cocktail mug in hand — is one of several satisfyingly distinctive characterizations.

Review: ‘Suddenly, a Knock at the Door,’ Based on Etgar Keret’s Stories 2016-06-07T04:00:00Z And “Atlanta,” especially in its characterization of Paper Boi, refuses to idealize the rapper’s life—rap is simply a way out, an option for those who have no options. “Atlanta” and Vince Staples and a New Hip-Hop Sensibility 2016-11-05T04:00:00Z “Matthew is working through dance, but one of the most fulfilling aspects is that we really talk about characterization and storytelling,” said Nina Goldman, who first performed the role of the Queen in 2007. All the Swans At This Lake Are Male 2010-10-08T15:44:00Z All the actors give fine performances, showing a range of emotions in their characterizations that represent diverse cultures.
