Call Me Kate (2023)
5/10
Annoying
16 May 2023
I didn't finish this. For one thing, it seems to be trying to be an art film of its own, so it shouldn't be called a documentary. Not that documentaries can't be made in an artful, fascinating, way, but this falls flat. I couldnt figure out who was talking and why. Why is Kate seemingly talking about herself in an interview when she is not in fact interviewed. Plus, I question the filmmaker's research. She states that Morning Glory is Hepburn's second film. Not true, The second film is Christopher Strong, with Morning Glory third. Christropher Strong, directed by the amazing Dorothy Arzner, is an incredible movie, but here it only gets short shrift. I assume that's because the director didn't bother to watch it. It's a feminist movie in which Hepburn plays a record-breaking pilot. It's possible to see, but you have to put in the time to find it . . .
