It's been another relatively quiet week for me at the cinema, as I have spent most of my time organising the London Critics' Circle Film Awards – we're holding our 45th ceremony on Sunday night, and there's rather a lot to do to prepare for the starry evening. It's always an unusually intimate, relaxed awards show, with A-listers mixing with rising stars and of course the critics themselves. Highlights will be giving special awards to Daniel Craig and Zoe Saldaña. The afterparty will be great fun.

So I only had time to watch a couple of movies. There was the goofy romcom
You're Cordially Invited with Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell, funny enough to be entertaining, but nothing special. And the blackly comical thriller
Companion is smart and inventive, with terrific central performances from an ensemble cast that includes Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid. I attended a rather fabulous big-screen preview of the Disney+ TV series
Paradise, attended by James Marsden, Sterling K Brown and Julianne Nicholson. And there was also a theatre press night, with the dark comedy
The Gift at the Park Theatre.
This coming week, I'll be catching up with Renee Zellweger, who's back for
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Ryan Destiny in
The Fire Inside and Francois Ozon's dark drama
When Autumn Falls. There's also the press night for
Antigone (On Strike) at the Park Theatre.
