Glenn Close is facing the wave of negative reviews for her latest project, “All’s Fair,” with a sense of humor and creativity. Following harsh critiques labeling the ensemble drama from Ryan Murphy as “fascinatingly, incomprehensibly, existentially terrible,” the Oscar-nominated actress decided to respond in a playful way that nods to her past.
In a clever reference to her iconic role as Alex Forrest in the 1987 classic “Fatal Attraction,” Close shared a hand-drawn image on Instagram featuring her “All’s Fair” co-stars gathered around a pot labeled “critic bunny stew.” This artistic expression takes inspiration from a memorable scene in “Fatal Attraction,” showcasing her ability to infuse humor into a situation filled with criticism.
Close included tags for her co-stars—Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash, and Teyana Taylor—in her post. The response from her castmates was overwhelmingly supportive, with Taylor sending heart-eye and kissy-face emojis, while the official “All’s Fair” account called Close’s artwork “a masterpiece.”
Interestingly, Close’s connection to Kardashian deepened during the premiere of the latest season of “The Kardashians.” Kardashian, who received her own backlash for her performance, admitted to never having seen “Fatal Attraction.” This led to a playful moment when her mother, Kris Jenner, called her out, prompting the cast to hold a movie night where they watched the classic film. Kardashian humorously recounted how Close shared behind-the-scenes stories during the screening.
As “All’s Fair,” which follows a group of women divorce attorneys navigating challenges in a male-dominated field, continues to air, there is a renewed focus on the show. Each episode captures the spirit of resilience in the face of criticism as the cast members find their footing.
Close’s light-hearted response showcases a strong sense of camaraderie among the cast, highlighting creativity and support in the entertainment industry despite the whirlwind of negative reviews. “All’s Fair” is streaming on Hulu every Tuesday, inviting viewers to join the characters on their journey through trials and triumphs.
