Pop culture — at least in the Western world — treats pregnancy and early motherhood as a magical time, when back aches and sleepless nights are a mere inconvenience in what is otherwise a fantastic, love-fuelled, once-in-a-lifetime journey. That is bulls***. And with “Baby Ruby,” Bess Wohl is setting the record straight.

Premiering at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, “Baby Ruby” is a tense, visceral psychological thriller that sets out to dismantle everything you think you know about being a mom. Written and directed by Tony-nominated American playwright Bess Wohl, the film centers on the independent, perfectionist, mom-to-be Jo (Noémie Merlant), who branded herself as a chic lifestyle influencer through her successful blog, “Love, Joséphine.” Using the power of the internet — and, let’s face it, her good looks and wealth — Jo has carefully curated an aspirational image for her online followers. She takes it all on herself; taking control of every aspect of her life; she even goes as far as to plan her own baby shower, which she then turns into content for the website. It’s too much. There’s no separation between her life and her work, and it’s a disastrous situation to be in as a new mother. Jo believes she can “do it all.” Every experienced mother in the audience knows she can’t.

In a tight 93 minutes, Wohl both sets up and thoroughly dissembles Jo’s ego, confidence, and seemingly perfect image on screen. We get a female perspective on the psychological and emotional trauma of early motherhood: the loss of one’s sense of self, the strain on one’s mental house, the physical pain, and humiliation. It’s an uncomfortable, yet stylish, depiction of a mental breakdown — think Darren Aronofsky’s “Black Swan” but with a woman on both sides of the lens. 

‘It’s Hell’

To say that “Baby Ruby” is intense would be an understatement. Wohl creates such a feeling of unease that the film verges on intolerable. I was at the edge of my seat for most of the run-time — in part because the cinematography was so unnerving, but also because I couldn’t help but be worried about poor baby Ruby and her deteriorating mother, Jo. Postpartum depression is getting more recognition now, but it’s still a largely misunderstood condition — one that often brings with it feelings of deep shame. Society tells us that “good” mothers love their children and tackle the strains and stress of infant care with ease. But that’s just not what the first few months are like for the vast majority of new parents.

As mother-in-law Doris (Jayne Atkinson) confides in Jo: “It’s hell.”

I did not experience postpartum depression, and to be honest, both my kids were relatively easy babies. Still, I can relate to Jo’s experience in “Baby Ruby.” For years, I would hear an infant crying at night — even when my youngest was well into his toddler years. I remember the pain of bathroom trips post-birth, and the embarrassment of walking around in what felt like a  pillow wrapped around my crotch. I breastfed, and there were times when my nipples were so chapped they bled. Nursing when you’re tired, and you’re sore — it feels like life is being sucked out of you. I was a different person walking into the hospital pregnant than I was when I left with my child, and I’ve never felt that experience has been represented honestly in media — until “Baby Ruby.”

Is It Worth It?

A phrase I heard a lot during my kids’ infancies was “it takes a village.” Although it’s never spoken in “Baby Ruby,” that message is the core thesis this film argues for. Increasingly in our social-media-obsessed culture, we’ve become isolated. We craft images of ourselves online that are too good to be true, and we feel insecure about the impossibly perfect people we follow. It’s a vicious cycle that serves to reinforce insecurities and isolation. Jo doesn’t know how to ask for help, or even recognize that she needs it. As a result, she keeps “failing” to meet her own impossible, self-imposed standards — and she doesn’t have the tools to deal with that.

Ever since my screening, I’ve been wrestling with the actual experience of watching “Baby Ruby.” It was not enjoyable; that isn’t to say that it isn’t compelling, or that I didn’t get anything from it. Quite the contrary — it’s been on my mind since I walked out of that studio. The film has a lot to say, and much of it is poignant and, dare I say, necessary.

There’s the question, “was it worth it?” For me, being a parent was worth the sacrifice, and I think ultimately that’s the message of “Baby Ruby.” In terms of watching the film … I honestly can’t say. I do believe it is a well-crafted film, and I have a deep respect for what Wohl accomplishes. Kit Harington is endlessly charming as Jo’s husband Spencer, and Atkinson nails the quintessential well-meaning but also infuriating mother-in-law. The film’s pacing is relentless though, and for me, some of the clearly symbolic imagery got in the way of telling a cohesive story. Maybe the biggest issue, for me, is that the content hit too close to home. 

I’ll have to watch again to find out.

“The red stones are rubies the white stones are diamonds.

Last fall, Rose shared via Instagram a (graphic) video of said surgery, which fixed two herniated discs that she says “were close to severing my spinal cord.” Just 10 days later, she told EW.com, she was back to work as a costumed crimefighter.

“Being the lead of a superhero show is tough. Being the lead in anything is tough,” Rose cops in the new interview. “But I think, in that particular instance, it was a lot more difficult because I was still recovering from my surgery. I had my surgery and then 10 days later I went to work, which maybe wasn’t the best idea. Most people take about a month or three off before they return to work.”

When Batwoman wrapped its freshman run several episodes early due to the pandemic/production shutdown, Rose said that the time then spent in quarantine gave all involved time to think. “It was a great opportunity to have a dialogue about a lot of things [with the producers],” she said. “I respect them so much and they’ve been so respectful to me.”

Batwoman Javicia LeslieLooking to her own future, Rose said, “I would definitely do [TV] again. I just think that it was also time for me to take a break to fully heal and then return.” And as for the future adventures of Batwoman, to be played by Javicia Leslie (God Friended Me) as a new character named Ryan Wilder? “She seems fantastic,” Rose said of her successor, who is bisexual and the first Black actress to play a live-action Batwoman. “Honestly, I was so proud and so happy when I was told who would be replacing me…. I’m definitely going to watch the next season as well and see how it all comes together.”

Season 2 of Batwoman is set to premiere in early 2021, once again airing Sundays at 8/7c.

In a statement, Leslie — who will make her debut in the show’s Season 2 premiere, slated to air in January 2021 — said, “I am extremely proud to be the first Black actress to play the iconic role of Batwoman on television, and as a bisexual woman, I am honored to join this groundbreaking show, which has been such a trailblazer for the LGBTQ+ community.”

As previously reported, Leslie will play a new version of the titular superhero as opposed to taking over Rose’s Katy Kane. Her character, Ryan Wilder, “is about to become Batwoman,” reads the official description. “She’s likable, messy, a little goofy and untamed. She’s also nothing like Kate Kane, the woman who wore the Batsuit before her. With no one in her life to keep her on track, Ryan spent years as a drug-runner, dodging the GCPD and masking her pain with bad habits. Today Ryan lives in her van with her plant. A girl who would steal milk for an alley cat and could also kill you with her bare hands, Ryan is the most dangerous type of fighter: highly skilled and wildly undisciplined. An out lesbian. Athletic. Raw. Passionate. Fallible. And very much not your stereotypical All-American hero.”

In explaining the controversial decision to eschew a traditional recast and instead create “a whole new character” to slip into the cape and cowl for Season 2, showrunner Caroline Dries previously said, “To be honest with you, I did consider the ‘soap opera version’ [of recasting] for a hot minute, because selfishly we already had a couple episodes written, and transition-wise it would be seamless. But upon further reflection — and I think [Arrowverse EP] Greg [Berlanti] helped me make this call — he’s like, ‘I think we should just reboot Batwoman as a different character.’”

In addition to paying “respect to everything that Ruby [Rose] put into the Kate Kane character” during Season 1, Dries added, “it also helps the audience, because we’re not asking them to address ‘the elephant in the room’” by accepting a new face as the same person.

Rose’s Batwoman departure was announced in May. “I have made the very difficult decision to not return to Batwoman next season,” she said in a statement. “This was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles.”

In a subsequent social media post, Rose addressed our report that she underestimated and thus eventually balked at the long hours required to star in a weekly TV series that shoots in Vancouver, leading to a mutual “breakup” with the show. “Don’t believe everything you read by anon sources online,” she wrote. “I lived in Vancouver for a year working on the mountains when I was 18 because I love that city! I’ve also worked in other places in Canada… perfect beautiful country.”

Warner Bros. and The CW previously confirmed that, much like Rose’s Katy Kane, the new character would be an out lesbian played by another LGBTQ actress. “The studio and network are firmly committed to Batwoman’s second season and long-term future,” the said in a statement, “and we — along with the show’s talented creative team — look forward to sharing its new direction, including the casting of a new lead actress and member of the LGBTQ community, in the coming months.”

In addition to being a series regular on CBS’ recently cancelled (and also Berlanti-produced) God Friended Me, German-born Leslie’s other TV credits include the BET drama Family Business and CBS’ MacGyver.

Titular Batwoman star Ruby Rose has decided to leave the CW series ahead of Season 2. The role will be recast.

“I have made the very difficult decision to not return to Batwoman next season,” Rose said in a statement. “This was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles.

“I am beyond appreciative to [exec producers] Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Caroline Dries for not only giving me this incredible opportunity, but for welcoming me into the DC universe they have so beautifully created,” she added. “Thank you [WB chief] Peter Roth and [CW president] Mark Pedowitz and the teams at Warner Bros. and The CW who put so much into the show and always believed in me. Thank you to everyone who made season one a success – I am truly grateful.”

In a joint statement, Berlanti Prods. and Warner Bros. Television vowed to cast another LGBTQ actress in the iconic role. “[We] thank Ruby for her contributions to the success of our first season and wish her all the best,” the two companies said. “The studio and network are firmly committed to Batwoman’s second season and long-term future, and we — along with the show’s talented creative team — look forward to sharing its new direction, including the casting of a new lead actress and member of the LGBTQ community, in the coming months.”

It remains unclear why exactly Rose is exiting the series so early in its run.

The CW renewed Batwoman for Season 2 back in January. The show’s Season 1 finale aired this past Sunday.

Plus, Laurence Fishburne Recalls His ‘Dr. Fauci Moment’ https://briefnews.eu/black-ish-finale-recap-a-pops-and-ruby-re-do-plus-laurence-fishburne-recalls-his-dr-fauci-moment/ https://briefnews.eu/black-ish-finale-recap-a-pops-and-ruby-re-do-plus-laurence-fishburne-recalls-his-dr-fauci-moment/#respond Wed, 06 May 2020 12:15:40 +0000 https://briefnews.eu/black-ish-finale-recap-a-pops-and-ruby-re-do-plus-laurence-fishburne-recalls-his-dr-fauci-moment/ Who would’ve guessed, after season upon season of ongoing enmity between black-ish‘s Pops and Ruby, that their reunion would be the thing that throws the family into chaos?

An ill-timed visit to his mom’s room at the start of the Season 6 finale leaves Dre with a visual he can’t expunge from his memory: Ruby and Pops having sex. Bow’s husband is near-catatonic when the four adults sit down to discuss the fact that Dre’s parents apparently have reunited in secret and are a romantic couple once more. “We have decided to give our love one more shot,” Pops informs them, but Dre isn’t having it.

blackish-finale-recap-season-6-episode-21Using the “my house, my rules” concept, Dre marches up to Ruby and says he won’t allow his father to use her like he has in the past. But the reunion was Ruby’s idea, and she tells him not to worry: The things she and Pops used to fight about, like kids and money, aren’t issues anymore. Then she decides to show her affection for Pops by buying him a boat (to replace the one she blew up) so they can sail around Catalina that weekend.

blackish-finale-recap-season-6-episode-21Eventually, Dre realizes that he’s afraid of losing his hard-won relationship with Pops if the two break up again. So he issues an ultimatum: Either Ruby dumps his dad, or they both have to be out by the end of the week. Ruby chooses the latter, devastating Dre.

Only after Bow points out that Ruby is more than just Dre’s mom (“It’s her time now”) does Dre see how ridiculous he’s been. So he and Bow show up to join the kids at the dock to see Pops and Ruby off on their mini-trip. Dre apologizes for his behavior, and his mom forgives him. “You and I have gone through a lot,” he tells her. “And whatever’s gonna happen next, I’m gonna go through that with you, too.”

True story: While watching a screener, I was very worried that Pops was going to croak at the end of this episode. And my relief that he didn’t was so great that it was the first thing I mentioned to series star Laurence Fishburne when we chatted earlier this week. Read on to hear what he had to say about Pops’ new-old romance and how acting in Contagion nearly a decade ago gave him a unique perspective on our current situation.

TVLINE | I have to tell you that when ABC was like, “Do you want to talk to Laurence Fishburne about the finale of black-ish?” I’m like, “Oh my God, Pops is dying.”
[Laughs loudly]

TVLINE | I was worried from the very first moment of the screener until the absolute end! Because there are all these lines fresh starts and new love and how they’re going to get it right this time…
[Laughs] Yeah. [Laughs]

TVLINE | You had me there for a minute.
Well, good. Good. [Laughs] We did our job again.

TVLINE | I’m very glad Pops is going to stick around for the foreseeable future, but this is a new side of him. We’ve not seen him this consistently happy… ever?
No. He’s a happy dude, right?

TVLINE | Do you recall when you first heard that Pops and Ruby would give it another go?
I think [producers] were always interested in exploring that, even as early as Season 3. And it just seemed like now was the right time. It just seemed like organically it made sense, you know?

Zoey has gone off to school, and Junior is still sort of on that gap year, and so that’s starting to resolve itself. Jack and Diane being real teenagers, all of those things that happen in a family, and now the golden years for Pop and Ruby seems to be a natural kind of extension of all of that.

TVLINE | Jenifer Lewis has said how much that you guys enjoy working with each other. Talk to me about playing your scenes now that Ruby and Pops are getting along so well.
It’s fantastic. At least for me, there’s always the underlying affection that they have for one another. That’s never really missing, even in those harsh moments, if you will. I just feel like we have earned this, you know what I mean? Along with our audience, we have really earned this. I think it’s also something that the audience is really hungry for, in a way.

blackish-finale-recap-season-6-episode-21TVLINE | Dre has a realization that he would really miss the relationship he’s built with his father if Pops and Ruby were to break up again. Do you think those feelings are reciprocal?
Good question. Not really sure. I haven’t really given that much thought to that one. As I do think about it, I’m compelled to tell you that it feels like with Pops, he knows how lucky he is to have a son like Dre who’s done so well in spite of his own challenges, and who has the grace to allow Pops to live with him and his family, you know what I mean? He’s acutely aware of that, and at the same time, of course he would never admit it, he’s got to be envious of it. There’s some of that lack of giving Dre the approval that he craves, it really comes from that place.But I also think that he is beyond grateful for the life that Dre and Bow provide for him.I don’t think that’s lost on him, and he would be devastated if that was ever taken away.

And he knows that he can be a bit of a burden. So this is a natural and really beautifully organic way of moving into the next chapter. Pops and Ruby are getting together and they’re going to explore what life in the future will be for the two of them if they approach it differently.

TVLINE | What’s your opinion on whether Pops and Ruby will be successful this time?
They already love each other. So, that part is a given, right? They’re successful in that. So, I think that because the love is there that it’s already successful. But you know, the practical stuff — they’re going to have to figure that out. That’s where the comedy comes in. That’s where you, you know?

TVLINE | Have you heard anything about a potential Season 7? Obviously, everything is shut down right now.
I haven’t heard much about Season 7. I’ve heard that they are attempting to figure out how we can shoot safely, how we can go back into the sound stages. They’re talking about doing things so that everybody stays healthy and that nobody contracts this horrible virus. And that’s going to take some real time and some serious thought.

TVLINE | Along those lines: So many people have been referencing Contagion on social media since the quarantine started. Who knew that when you played the head of the Centers for Disease Control in that movie that it would be real-life training at some point?
[Laughs] Yeah, who knew I was going to be Dr. Fauci? I mean, it’s crazy. I’m having my own Dr. Fauci moment! [Laughs]

TVLINE | If I remember correctly, I think there’s even a line or two where your character in the movie talks about how the United States is made up of 50 states with 50 governors who’ll do what they deem right, so it’s hard to set standards. That was prescient.
[Laughs] Yeah. It was really something. And hey, it’s a great reference for people that want to understand what we’re really dealing with, you know? If you don’t really understand it, if you got questions, it’s a great film to watch to get your understanding for where we really are.

Now it’s your turn. Grade the finale and the season on the whole via the polls below, then hit the comments with your thoughts!

Viewers of EastEnders could see Ruby Allen (played by Louisa Lytton) ditch boyfriend Jay Brown (Jamie Bothwick) and cosy up to a surprise new love interest on the BBC soap. 

EastEnders star Louisa confessed that things won’t be plain sailing between her and Jay in upcoming episodes. 

“We can’t ever have a smooth running relationship in EastEnders so yeah there will be some ups and downs,” she admitted. 

However she did reveal that she enjoys working alongside Jay and if she had the choice, she would love the pair of them to have their happy ending. 

She told Metro.co.uk: “I love working with Jamie so it would be lovely if that happened but at the moment I’m not allowed to say.” 

Looking to the future, Louisa was asked at the British Soap Awards last week whether there’s another romance on the horizon. 

Despite acting coy, she let slip that the first letter of the new love interest’s name was M. 

Does this mean Ruby will be breaking Jay’s heart after being won over by Max Branning (Jake Wood)? 

Max famously wooed Ruby’s best friend Stacey Fowler (Lacey Turner) over when she was dating his son Bradley Branning (Charlie Clements). 

Or could it be Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) or Mitch Baker (Roger Griffith) or perhaps someone with an entirely different name? 

EastEnders viewers will have to wait to find out the identity of Ruby’s new romance and whether she’ll choose them over Jay. 

Meanwhile, Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) may be shut out of his daughter Louise Mitchell’s (Tilly Keeper) life for good after his constant meddling. 

Phil tried to convince Louise to terminate her pregnancy by showing her what it’s really like to look after a child. 

The worried father asked Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) to take his daughter Lexi to see Louise but she instantly saw through her dad’s eyes. 

Acting on behalf of the dodgy dealer, Ben tried to pressure Louise into changing her mind about keeping the baby. 

However Louise turned the tables on her brother and slammed him for not being on her side. 

Will the pregnant teen walk away from the Mitchells and raise the baby on her own? 

Elsewhere in the BBC soap, Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) could be in danger as Hunter Owen (Charlie Winter) returns. 

At the beginning of the year, Hunter shot his mother’s bigamist husband Ray Kelly (Sean Mahon) and was then shopped to the police by Jack. 

Will Hunter take revenge on Jack when he returns? 

EastEnders continues Friday at 8pm on BBC One.

RELATED STORIES

Like Oliver Queen before her, Kate Kane will not be a polished, full-blown vigilante when Batwoman makes its debut this fall on The CW.

Speaking with TVLine on Thursday at the Upfronts, Batwoman star Ruby Rose said that a show such as this runs the risk of not seeming grounded if it straight away overdoes it with superhero derring-do. Instead, we will get to know Gotham City’s Kate Kane (aka Bruce Wayne’s cousin), her father Jacob and several other characters before Batwoman suits up.

As you may have surmised, Rose confirms that Batwoman (airing Sundays at 8/7c this fall) begins before the titular crimefighter crossed paths with Green Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl (in last year’s “Elseworlds” crossover event).

In our video Q&A above, the Aussie actress also sings the praises of on-screen adversary Rachel Skarsten (Reign), who plays Wonderland gang leader Alice; offers an overview of what Batwoman’s support team might end up looking like; and then weighs in on the out hero’s love life.

The official synopsis for Batwoman is below:

Kate Kane never planned to be Gotham’s new vigilante. Three years after Batman mysteriously disappeared, Gotham is a city in despair. Without the Caped Crusader, the Gotham City Police Department was overrun and outgunned by criminal gangs. Enter Jacob Kane (played by Dougray Scott) and his military-grade Crows Private Security, which now protects the city with omnipresent firepower and militia. Years before, Jacob’s first wife and daughter were killed in the crossfire of Gotham crime. He sent his only surviving daughter, Kate Kane, away from Gotham for her safety. After a dishonorable discharge from military school and years of brutal survival training, Kate returns home when the Alice in Wonderland gang targets her father and his security firm, by kidnapping his best Crow officer Sophie Moore (Meagan Tandy). Although remarried to wealthy socialite Catherine Hamilton-Kane (Elizabeth Anweis), who bankrolls the Crows, Jacob is still struggling with the family he lost, while keeping Kate –– the daughter he still has –– at a distance. But Kate is a woman who’s done asking for permission. In order to help her family and her city, she’ll have to become the one thing her father loathes –– a dark knight vigilante. With the help of her compassionate stepsister, Mary (Nicole Kang), and the crafty Luke Fox (Camrus Johnson), the son of Wayne Enterprises’ tech guru Lucius Fox, Kate Kane continues the legacy of her missing cousin, Bruce Wayne, as Batwoman. Still holding a flame for her ex-girlfriend, Sophie, Kate uses everything in her power to combat the dark machinations of the psychotic Alice (Rachel Skarsten), who’s always somewhere slipping between sane and insane. Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate soars through the shadowed streets of Gotham as Batwoman. But don’t call her a hero yet. In a city desperate for a savior, she must first overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope.
