I've been taking it a bit easier this week, catching up after the film festival. But there have been a few screenings to attend. First there was the mammoth sequel
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, screened to the press in Imax. Essentially a cartoon with a few humans running around in the margins, this is a movie that will make die hard fans happy, but others might be wise to steer clear. Meanwhile, Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway have a lot of fun layering on insinuating intrigue in
Mothers' Instinct, a Hitchcock-style slow-burn thriller that's thoroughly entertaining.

BEST OUT THIS WEEK:
The Beautiful Game
Disco Boy
PERHAPS AVOID:
Godzilla x Kong
ALL REVIEWS > |
Even better is the British feel-good drama
The Beautiful Game, about a homeless football team. Thankfully, the on-pitch action is kept in check for more character-based comedy and drama. Liam Neeson and Kerry Condon are terrific in the gritty thriller
In the Land of Saints and Sinners, set during the Troubles in 1970s Ireland. And the French drama
Ama Gloria takes a child's eye view for a slice of life with a couple of momentous moments along the way.
This coming week I'll continue catching up on things, and I have screenings of
Scoop,
The First Omen, Woody Allen's
Coup de Chance, If Only I Could Hibernate and
Someone Like You.
