‘The Veil’ Review: Obsessive Elisabeth Moss Spy Drama Gets Buried Under Melodrama

Mon dieu!Too bad, because there is some fun to be had on the kooky “Metalstorm” set in director Drew Leitch’s film. Sandy and orange, the movie looks like it’s trying to be “Dune” while actually landing more on “Battlefield Earth” territory.

Girl, Interrupted is one of those classics where it’s hard to imagine getting together such a star-studded cast. But it turns out there actually was maybe too much star power for one movie? The way one of the film’s stars talks about it two decades on, it sounds like Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder were rival girl gang leaders on set!

Elisabeth Moss opened up about her experience filming Girl, Interrupted with Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder.

And Angelina Jolie!” Moss recalled to host Kelly Ripa.“There were two camps. There was the Winona Ryder camp and the Angelina Jolie camp,” she went on. “I was so intimidated by the Angelina Jolie camp.

Hunter Ingram SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers from the first two episodes of “The Veil,” now streaming on Hulu. No cigarette goes unsmoked in the premiere of FX’s new series “The Veil” — and that was all part of Elisabeth Moss’ plan. In the new series from “Peaky Blinders” creator Steven Knight, Moss plays a woman named (for now) Imogen Salter, an undercover MI6 spy who is tasked with doing what the age of technological surveillance and espionage can’t do: use human intuition and skill to get information out of a target.

Aramide Tinubu In FX’s gripping new miniseries “The Veil,” right versus wrong isn’t a straightforward calculation, and truth is more confounding than it seems. The action series follows cunning MI6 agent Imogene Salter (a captivating Elisabeth Moss), whose ability to assume a new identity in the blink of an eye makes her a singular asset for the most challenging missions. When Imogene is tasked with extricating a woman named Adilah El Idrissi (an outstanding Yumna Marwan) from a Turkish/Syrian refugee camp and enticing her to disclose her secrets, the spy finds herself analyzing her own moral code and a past shrouded in riddles.

After six dramatic seasons the Irish gang series “Peaky Blinders” came to a close in 2022. Something of a sleeper hit at first, the series seemed to take off during the pandemic when it was on Netflix.

Christian Lewis F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel “The Great Gatsby,”which captured the roaring twenties with shocking clarity,is a staple of high school curricula and has been immortalized in two famous film adaptations (in 1974 by Richard Clayton and in 2013 by Baz Lurhman). It’s most remembered for the titular character’s lavish parties, though as any good reader of the novel will tell you, the party’s are all razzle dazzle — what really matters is what’s underneath.

When one thinks of auteur-driven Peak TV in the streaming age, the first shows that generally come to mind are “House Of Cards” (2013) with David Fincher at the helm (at least for the first few eps), “True Detective” (2014) by director Cary Fukunaga, and Steven Soderbergh’s “The Knick” (2014). Crucial to the mix, but sometimes missing in that conversation, is Jane Campion’s “Top Of The Lake” starring Elisabeth Moss, which debuted in 2013, right at the beginning of this new second golden age of TV.

Moviegoers may not remember, but back in February 2020, right before the COVID-19 pandemic took over the globe, Leigh Whannell‘s “The Invisible Man” raked at the box office. The horror remake was a mega-hit for Blumhouse and Universal, making over 20x its budget at the box office before movie theaters shuttered their doors for months just a few weeks later.

Oscar-nominated actress Amy Adams was everywhere over the last decade, but the actress seemingly took a beat after a busy 2021. Since 2022’s “Disenchanted,” the actress hasn’t appeared in anything, not one film or TV project.
