Natalie Portman’s ‘Lady in the Lake’ Misfire Is a Puzzle No One Will Care to Solve: TV Review


Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram star in Apple TV+ "Lady in the Lake," a mystery thriller that lacks tension and intrigue.

However, as her husband Slappy (Byron Bowers) seeks his comedy dreams, Cleo is relegated to working as a department store window model, bartending and keeping the books for prolific gangster Shell Gordon (Wood Harris). Amid her outburst, she packs a suitcase, abandons her husband, Milton (Brett Gelman), and her teenage son Seth (Noah Jupe) and moves to The Bottom, Baltimore’s Black neighborhood. While the production design by JC Molina is vibrant, the textures and colors of Shiona Turini’s costumes shine, and hair and makeup by Jose Zamora and Claudia Humburg, respectively, are stellar, little is being said here.
