Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy movie review – Korean fantasy is glossy but uninspired
2/5 stars Based on a hit Korean webtoon, director Kim Byung-woo's ambitious science fiction fantasy Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy stars Ahn Hyo-seop as a reclusive loner who discovers that his favourite online novel has become a reality. Lee Min-ho and Chae Soo-bin also appear, as do K-pop starlets Nana and Blackpink's Jisoo, but they all take a back seat to the film's polished, if generic, spectacle. It is impossible to conceive that a feature film like this would exist without the success of Train to Busan and Squid Game Play Both of these international hits opened the floodgates for high-concept genre fare within South Korea's risk-averse industry, and audiences have been inundated ever since, with their influence and aesthetic visible in every frame.

Victoria Beckham on the upcoming Netflix documentary she says David Beckham talked her into, her Patek Philippe collection – and why security guards are the most important people in her stores
For someone who has been famous since the late 1990s, Victoria Beckham is surprisingly busy in the 2020s. After many years in the red, her eponymous fashion company Victoria Beckham Holdings Ltd, is back on the road to profitability – no small thing for an independent luxury fashion brand. Beckham also introduced a successful fragrance line two years ago, and became the accidental star of a Netflix documentary series about her husband David Beckham. Her charming, funny cameos showed a playful and relatable side to the megawatt couple, they of the matching purple Versace wedding outfits Victoria Beckham's pre-spring/summer 2026 collection at Centurion New York was the first time her resort collection was shown in person. Photo: @victoriabeckham/Instagram Advertisement This year is looking no less buzzy for Victoria. For the first time ever, she showed her resort collection in person, rather than digitally, at a glamorous trunk show at Centurion New York. In autumn, Beckham will be the star of her own Netflix docuseries, which will follow her day to day as the creative director of her fashion and beauty brands. Victoria Beckham will star in her own Netflix documentary later in the year, following her journey from singer to fashion designer. Photo: @victoriabeckham/Instagram In an exclusive interview, we sat down to discuss her future plans, the most important person in her stores and what she collects. Our conversation has been condensed and edited for clarity. A model wearing a Victoria Beckham dress from the spring 2025 collection. Photo: @victoriabeckham/Instagram So what made you decide to show this latest collection in New York? I was having brunch with Thom Browne and Anna Wintour a few months ago, as you do, and she said to me, 'You should come back to New York and show one of your collections.' It's something that I've been thinking about for a while, because I showed my first ever collection here in New York in 2008. New York has been such a huge part of my story so far. I was approached by Amex to come over here, and it just worked perfectly to do it. Were you nervous when you did that first presentation in 2008?
