Everything in my reality—the activities I engage in‚ the friendships I acquire‚ the family I love‚ the beliefs I form (about art‚ politics‚ religion‚ morality‚ the afterlife)—are predicated upon the assumption that my life is truly and authentically mine to live‚ not something counterfeit or staged.

Rob Marshall’s Chicago is a film about dangerous women. Set in the roaring 20’s‚ few things could be thought more shocking and scandalous at the time than a woman wielding a gun.
