RAISED BY WOLVES on Acorn TV. The British journalist Caitlin Moran and her sister Caroline mine their childhoods in this raunchy comedy about a home-schooled family of six and their overwrought run-ins with the outside world — that is, if they can even get out the door.

Her reflections on traumatic inheritance, on the unreliability and loss of memory, on the paucity of language for the crimes of the 20th century are often overwrought; she needlessly strains to underscore the gravity of her subject when in fact the history, riddled with ambiguities and cruel ironies, speaks for itself.
|
|
The qualities that elevate Bonnaire's illiterate, peasant girl to the role of unexpected leader are not overwrought, and Rivette is keen to show the young woman realistically: she might be on the path to sainthood, but she's not immune to experiences of the body and considerations of class and gender.
|
|
Our auteur—he did not want to be identified, and so I will not identify him—recognized what is arguably the most histrionic chunk of Celine Dion's historically overwrought "My Heart Will Go On," and further recognized that it would elevate just about any sports highlight into a soaring comic masterwork.

Screenland In the final week of the eight-season run of "Game of Thrones," even as the HBO series devolved into a torment of gaffes — a Starbucks cup and plastic bottles in view, overwrought yet hollow symbols, a series of spectacular continuity errors — we were still trying to salvage meaning.
|
|
The Flash has been losing me lately with overwrought retreads of plots from previous seasons and a heavy dose of brow-knitting melodrama; it was a relief to see Gustin getting to play Barry Allen as the adorable doof he used to be, even if just for a single episode.
|
|
There is the language, of course, an easily digestible mash that seems to channel self-help books, thrillers, and the overwrought style of the early-twentieth-century American horror writer H.P. Lovecraft, whose work Houellebecq admired sufficiently to write an entire book on him at the beginning of his own career.
|
|

|
|
Her gracious physicality and delicate gestures seemed particularly thoughtful in light of the overwrought Musetta of Susanna Phillips, whose tenderness in the final scene proved more convincing than her strutting in Act II.

|
|
And if ever applying the question "Does this movie need to exist?" to My Friend Dahmer were going to result in an emphatic yes, it would be on an alternate planet, and before all the dozens of other careful, overwrought depictions of famous, violent men who did nothing to deserve such consideration.
|
|
The shrinking size of some of the more intriguing watches for men can, arguably, be traced back to Hodinkee and its assault on what some in the watch world call "penis-extenders"—those overwrought testosterone timepieces pumped out by newer brands like Hublot, but also by old stalwarts like Patek and Rolex.

In a drinking scene in which overwrought cocktails can sometimes have the bitter taste of competitive machismo, the Ship's crew do a good job of not throwing their expertise in your face; they'll happily serve you a drink that will delight the palate without going on about muddling techniques or stirring directions.
|
|

On her way to work in a translating firm — the movie is set in 1989, and she's providing subtitles for that year's overwrought American-in-Japan thriller "Black Rain," directed by Ridley Scott, who is one of this movie's producers — she passes a poster seeking information on the missing Lily Bridges, played by Riley Keough.

And because the show is headed up by Veena Sud (of the late AMC/Netflix series The Killing), who never quite found a way to make her earlier series' many, many coincidences work even in the context of an overwrought murder mystery, I had a vague sense of where all of this was headed.
|
|
This means an erosion of the line between this world and some alternative realm, which the movie represents as a black room where the camera studies Hassane's nude body for minutes at a time and a troupe of bereft mourners, led by his mother (Carol Abboud, overwrought and fantastic), do a violent dance in unison.

Not everyone thinks it's worth the trouble; the book has been called "an overwrought, overwritten epic of gratingly obvious, self-congratulatory, show-off erudition that, with its overstuffed symbolism and leaden attempts at humor, is bearable only by terminal graduate students who demand we validate the time they've wasted reading it" — and much worse.
|

Trump's Biden exploit was to extort Volodymyr Zelenskiy into going on camera—the so-called "public box"—to announce an investigation, and then rely on the media to whip themselves into a rabid froth over the matter, exploiting the same crisis of adult newsroom supervision that led to the overwrought coverage of Hillary Clinton's emails.
|
|
And it was those films — rather than the aberration of Love Actually (20183), or the misfire of Domino, which cut her hair into a shaggy pixie, or the overwrought mindfuck of The Jacket (both released in 2005) — that established the foundation of her image, as an actor who seemed most at home in decades other than our own.
|
|
The tale of Mark, a painter in crisis, searching for new forms (an overwrought Charles Schick), and his wife, Miriam (an overly arch Regina Bartkoff), grinds along as a portrait of a couple in separate stages of existential crises, mostly talking past each other when she is not flirting with the bewildered bartender (a rather funny Brandon Lim).
|

" Despite being in the sort of place that both the intersectional left and the populist right would reasonably identify as wildly privileged, Alexander wrote, his practice was dominated by people with "problems that would seem overwrought if they were in a novel, and made-up if they were in a thinkpiece on 'The Fragmentation of American Society.

Thomas Carmichael, co-director of UCLA Broad Stem Cell Center, who was not involved in Multistem trials.

Gone were the untimely outbursts and strange melodramatic claims and the bouts of over-romanticization and questionable technical acumen and overwrought catch-phrases and ungrammatical slips and occasional malapropisms we'd come to expect from UFC pay-per-view broadcasts, replaced by an efficient three-man team that was calm and succinct and appropriate and informative and damned professional, and yet strangely lifeless.

|
Last week, 22019 members of Congress signed onto a letter announcing a shift in policy not only to stop bankrolling Immigration and Customs Enforcement's unrelenting requests for funding increases, but also to look at ways to defund ICE, one of our government's most bloated and overwrought agencies when it comes to a lack of accountability, transparency or integrity in spending precious tax dollars.

Making a welcome return to the brand he founded in 1987 and left in 2005 — having lost the right to his name — Mr. Abboud presented a collection of tailored suits so gratuitously detailed (buttons marched up the sleeve of one velvet jacket from cuff almost to shoulder) and seemingly overwrought that even the efforts of the gifted stylist Bill Mullen couldn't salvage the situation.
|

And then the frustrating part of being a monthly editor is you only get to do it 12 times a year, so it's this over ... slightly or it can feel slightly overwrought as this thing that you're birthing every month, whereas the web has this wonderfully sort of slapdash, let's get it out, let's join the conversation moment, and I've never been afraid of joining the conversation.
|

The 2012 documentary and multimedia project, The Forgotten Cowboy, chronicles the lives of contemporary black cowboys; Quentin Tarantino's 2012 alternative history revenge western, Django Unchained, was a rare, if overwrought, viewing of a black cowboy on the silver screen correcting injustice; Ron Tarver, a photographer for the Philadelphia Inquirer who is also featured in the exhibition, spent the last two decades capturing black cowboy communities in the city and across the country personally and for the paper.

The hype surrounding the game between the Thunder and the Warriors—or, as the more overwrought marketing stuff had it, between Westbrook and Kevin Durant—had nothing to do with the game's importance in the scope of the NBA season, which is something we don't know yet, and nothing much to do with the teams involved, one of which is expected to be historically great and the other of which is going to have to scrap for a playoff spot.

Schnabel's "Winter" dominates one of the ancillary rooms, despite exceptional paintings, one on each of the three remaining walls, by Rainer Fetting, Per Kirkeby, and Clemente, whose "Self-Portrait at Villa Fersen" (23) — featuring the artist's countenance contained within a perfect circle, which also encloses the inscription from the portico of the eponymous villa in Capri, "AMORI ET DOLORI SACRVM" ("a shrine to love and sorrow") — is a remarkably stripped-down effort from an artist whose work often tends toward the overwrought.
|

" The poems' mashing together of tormented syntax and overwrought emotionalism with strict formality in the handling of the sonnet form (which, wisely, Skoggard has not tried to emulate) has led to results that are often rebarbative, sometimes ridiculous: "But for my lips slow to confess a master / Waited who should better mark them / The hand which hesitates itself to give / / To friend is by him seized a crueler guide / So that the heart which loved in secret / Must now be spilled for all to see in rhymes.
|
|
At a high level, if I had to explain what's happening without worrying too much about the details, here's how I'd put it in one incredibly overwrought sentence: The mobile web is broken and unfettered tracking and data sharing have made visiting websites feel toxic, but since the ecosystem of websites and ad companies can't fix it through collective action, it falls on browser makers to use technological innovations to limit that surveillance, however each company that makes a browser is taking a different approach to creating those innovations, and everybody distrusts everybody else to act in the best interest of the web instead of the best interest of their employers' profits.
