In 2018, perhaps the only audience that noticed\u00a0All Is True<\/i>\u00a0were our belove AARP Movies for Grownups awards. The film is directed by and stars Kenneth Branagh as William Shakespeare returning home to his underappreciated wife and daughters after his Globe Theatre burned to the ground mid-production, reopening wounds of unspoken family tragedy. The period drama was given an extremely quiet qualifying release that earned Judi Dench (playing Shakespeare\u2019s wife Anne Hathaway) a Supporting Actress win from M4GS before a May release the following year received scarsely more attention than the previous season\u2019s.<\/p>\n
This episode, we discuss the surprisingly compelling film, and Branagh\u2019s career as a director of spotty and often forgotten films and his chances this season with his autobiographical film\u00a0Belfast<\/i>. We also take a deep look at the history of the Movies for Grownups (including their wildest, but most correct call for Supporting Actress), Ian McKellen as a possible victim of a closed Oscar window, and the growing understanding of qualifying releases.<\/p>\n
Topics also include frontrunners for this year\u2019s M4Gs, abandoned M4Gs categories, and what if Dench played the other Anne Hathaway.<\/p>\n
