In “The Housewife and the Hustler 2: The Reckoning,” Erika “Jayne” Girardi of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” meets the victims whom her estranged husband Tom Girardi allegedly defrauded over many years. It’s an awkward, and at times frosty and defensive encounter — and is the centerpiece of this new documentary that dropped on Hulu on Feb. 12.
The 90-minute “”Housewife and the Hustler 2″ is a followup to ABC News Studios’ 2021 documentary “The Housewife and the Hustler,” which examined the trials and tribulations of Jayne and legal titan Tom Girardi. Once seen as a crusading lawyer, in 2020, lawsuits revealed that Girardi had allegedly stolen millions of dollars from his clients. Girardi was disbarred in 2022, and in May, he will go on trial for federal wire charges related to his alleged theft of settlement money.

A Separation (Sony) This drama from Iran won the 2011 Best Foreign Film Oscar, telling the story of a couple who file for a legal separation, with the wife pushing for a divorce. He won’t leave his Alzheimer’s-afflicted father behind, while she is wanting to take their young daughter with her to the United States. After a series of misunderstandings, threats and legal actions, the couple find that there is more than just their marriage that’s on the line. Hyper-realistic to a fault, reminiscent of the neo-realist films that came out of post-ww II Europe, but also repressive and redundant in the extreme, with the characters seeming to throw the same temper tantrum for two hours straight while the story, meanwhile, seems stalled. Wildly overpraised film is a real litmus test, with viewers seeming to be staunch defenders or equally impassioned detractors. It did win an Oscar,...
