F-Ratings ahoy for this zeitgeisty workplace comedy written by and co-starring Mindy Kaling, who played Kelly Kapoor in umpteen US series of The Office.
Nisha Ganatra directs Emma Thompson as icy, Miranda Priestly-esque Katherine Newberry – the only woman in the male-dominated world of late-night talk shows, who surrounds herself with white males. Against the backdrop of tumbling ratings and the rise of social media, Katherine finds herself obliged to embrace diversity by hiring a young writer of Indian descent (yep, Mindy Kaling). Unveiled at – where else? – Sundance, Late Night was praised for its performances but the critical consensus was that it isn’t as incisive or as funny as it really ought to be.
