Julianne Moore’s new role sees her touting a gun on screen, for the first time in 15 years.
The Oscar winner takes the role of Madeline in Sharper, a movie she also co-produced. She co-stars with Sebastian Stan and John Lithgow in the thriller, which premieres in selected cinemas on February 10, before launching on Apple TV+ a week later.

Off-screen, Moore is the co-founder of pressure group Everytown for Gun Safety, whose website explains “10 million everyday Americans who have come together to make their own communities safer.”
Moore was motivated to take action by the Sandy Hook school shooting in 2012, which saw the death of twenty children and six adults.

The Times makes the point that Hollywood actors are in a tricky position talking about gun control, when films including weapons and violence make so much money at the box office.
But Moore reflected:
“It’s really important when you talk about gun safety and people blame entertainment to

or loathe it, there's something for everyone this week. Let's start with Cara Delevingne's Planet Sex on Hulu, which takes a very practical, scientific look at sex, gender, and attraction. It's a riveting series, and I particularly loved episode six (titled, “Do You Think I'm Sexy?”) for going deep on topics like cosmetic surgery and body positivity.

Seeing the nifty grifter drama Sharper reminded me how rarely we encounter this kind of clever cat-and-mouse game that might fall into the noirish genre but really relies on diving into a world filled with characters who reveal slices of their lives that keep changing moment to moment. It is the kind of movie I find enormously difficult to review because its ultimate success for a viewer is just watching it unfold, beat by beat, never quite knowing exactly where it is heading but still glued to the screen to find out.
