Why fans Swarm to see Chloe Bailey

Fans of Chloe Bailey recently got to see a whole new side of her.

e actress and singer, who came to fame as part of a musical duo with her sister, Halle Bailey, has a role in the new Amazon Prime series Swarm. Early in the rst episode, Bailey, 24, has quite the sex scene with co-star Damson Idris.

“As open and liberal as I am about my body, I was very scared because I haven’t had that many partners,” Bailey told Deadline of the scene. “I’m not like that — like that sexual and open.”

“Damson made it really comfortable,” she continued, adding that, “there were limited people on set; it was a closed set.”

Across movies and TV, today’s sex scenes are typically carefully choreographed on is practice has become especially important after the #MeToo movement brought widespread attention to how performers have felt taken advantage of in front of the camera (or behind it) by those in power.

“closed sets” (a term which means the number of crew members present is kept to a minimum) and have given rise to the role of intimacy coordinators, who work to ensure the actors involved are informed and comfortable.

Yet as technical — and in some cases, unsexy — as lming sex scenes can be, they still garner a ton of attention.

And, though in many cases much of this attention is laced with sexism and misogyny, it’s not just directed at women. Both Jonathan Sadowski of Net ix’s Sex/Life and Demetrius Flenory Jr. of Starz’s BMF recently stirred up controversy with full frontal scenes on their respective shows.

Not everyone is for it, however.

You star Penn Badgley shared on a February episode of his podcast Podcrushed that he had spoken to the Net ix show’s creator, Sera Gamble, about opting out of on-camera intimacy. “Fidelity in every relationship, including my marriage, is important to me,” he said. “It’s got to the point where I don’t want to do (sex scenes).”

2. Frances Ha

Frances (Greta Gerwig) is at a crossroads in her life. She’s a New Yorker, but she doesn’t really have an apartment, and she’s an apprentice at a dance company, but she’s not really a dancer. Her life is a mess of mistakes and contradictions, and she’s reaching the age where she either needs to reach for her dreams or accept that life has passed her by. No pressure then. e second, and certainly not the last, collaboration between Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, Frances Ha is an o -the-wall dramsa comedy presented in black and white but bursting with colourful characters.

3.#Alive

It’s not hard to see why #Alive didn’t make a huge splash on Net ix in 2020. It centres on a live streamer’s struggle for survival as he is forced to quarantine alone in his apartment after a Zombie apocalypse hits the South Korean city of Seoul. Perhaps, that subject matter was maybe a little too close to reality for many people at the time of its release. Nevertheless, almost three years later the lm remains an excellent watch. It strikes that rare balance of being very funny but also genuinely unsettling during key moments.

4. I’m Thinking Of Ending Things

Based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Iain Reid, I’m inking of Ending ings follows a young woman (Jessie Buckley) and her boyfriend (Jesse Plemons) as they head out on a trip to meet the latter’s parents (Toni Collette and David ewlis). Meeting your partner’s parents is always a little uncomfortable, but in this surrealist thriller, things get very odd very quickly. Of all the movies on this list, I’m inking of Ending ings is likely to be the most divisive. However, if you’re willing to put in a little bit of work, you’ll nd a deeply rewarding movie.

5. Rush

A biographical masterpiece from director Ron Howard, Rush recounted the rivalry between two real-life Formula One drivers: James Hunt of Britain (Chris Hemsworth) and Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl) of Austria. Set primarily during the fateful 1976 motor season when the two competed for the World Champion title, Rush is an adrenaline-fuelled sports movie that will also appeal to viewers not hooked on the world of motor racing. Like many biopics, it’s the strength of the two leading performances that drives Rush forward.

Glenmore is most famously renowned for the calibre of hurlers that have won Senior All-Irelands with Kilkenny over the years, but over the past few years Mia Gri n has been doing the little village in south Kilkenny very proud indeed with a string of excellent performances around the world in Cycling.
