Jackie Cruz is the CEO of a New Jersey airline, feared for her perfectionism taken to extremes, which leads her employees to regard her with extreme reverence. Daniel Blanchflower, on the other hand, is the company’s new lawyer, a British man of aplomb (at least initially), who finds himself urgently replacing his senior colleague, who fell ill during lunch. His first assignment coincides with a crucial deposition in which Jackie is involved in a lawsuit with potentially devastating consequences for her career. In this rather daring turn of events, the protagonists of Office Romance meet, and as in any self-respecting…
Being sad and hating all that mushy stuff is exhausting work: take it from Jenna Ortega, who, in the midst of filming the new season of Wednesday, talks about how demanding it is to play the eldest daughter of the Addams family in the Netflix series.

The film had already become Focus’s highest-grossing film at the U.S. box office on May 31. “Obsession” surpasses Focus’s previous global box office record-holder, 2019’s “Downton Abbey” ($194.6 million worldwide), as well…
