Graham Norton has admitted that he sometimes has to pretend to be more enthusiastic about a movie that one of his television show guests is promoting than he really is.

On the other hand, sometimes one can tell when his excitement is real. For example, when he invites the same guest to promote the movie on his radio show a week later. I gather he has a bit more editorial control over his radio show than he does on his TV program.

In any case George MacKay was on both his telly and his radio shows, so that’s a strong clue that when Graham gushes about the movie Femme and MacKay’s performance in it, he’s not just putting on an act, he really means it.

Femme is due to be released in cinemas in the UK on December 1, but it seems that the US won’t be seeing it until next year sometime. Pity. It sounds like a great thriller.
