Review: Thanks to Emma Thompson and Mindy Kaling (who also wrote), 'Late Night' is a deft and intelligent entertainment that touches on serious issues, writes KennethTuran.
“Late Night” is a swell romantic comedy of a very particular sort, a film that details the delightful attachment two women have not to any man but to the profession they’re completely devoted to.
The longtime host of a late-night network talk show, the acerbic, cerebral Newbury is a transplanted Brit of high standards and withering hauteur, someone whose idea of a coveted guest is more Doris Kearns Goodwin than Johnny Depp. Horrified at the crassness of the stand-up she suspects is her designated successor and determined to hold onto her job, Newbury does something unprecedented: She gets to know her writers.
An all-white, all-male bastion of bro culture, acted by expert players including Max Casella, Hugh Dancy, John Early, Paul Walter Hauser and Reid Scott, the room is made up of very different and very funny individuals, each one a memorable type to everyone but Newbury, who ends up referring to them, in one of the film’s memorable conceits, by numbers instead of names.
Currently crashing with an aunt and uncle in Queens, Molly benefits from a series of flukes to land both an interview with Brad and a 13-week stint in the writers room — which is so unprepared for a female colleague that she is mistaken for a new production assistant and ends up seated on an overturned trash can.
Yes, Molly is professionally inexperienced, but her tart tongue shows she is no naif. Yet Molly can be almost unbearably earnest, capable of seriously reciting a celebrated Yeats line, asking New York to “tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.” How New York responds is sure to get a laugh.
