jesse plemons is roy mitchell, a federal agent instructed by martin sheen's dracula—like j edgar hoover to bring hampton down by any means necessary. yet despite having no previous political allegiances, o'neill finds himself torn between the desire to save his own skin and his growing admiration for hampton. these ain't no terrorists. it's a credit to stanfield that he manages to keep the complexities of his character alive throughout the movie, leaving us constantly wondering exactly where his loyalties lie. by contrast, kaluuya, who seems certain to earn a second oscar nomination next week, is steadfast and determined as hampton — unexpectedly shy in person, but inspirational in public. chanting the result is a terrific drama that mixes fact and fiction with thrilling, thought—provoking results. i advise you to check it out. it's available for home rental now. whilejudas and the black messiah may be a worthy awards contender, never forget that all awards are essentially flawed and foolish. for proof, look no further than the fact that jared leto recently received a golden globe nomination for one of the most eye—rollingly terrible performances i have ever seen in the little things. i saw the for sale sign. that was for another car. got a lot of miles on it. you a... you a salesman? no. leto plays albert sparma, the manson—like key suspect in a series of disappearances and killings who loves playing cat—and—mouse with the police — in this case, denzel washington's world—weary deputy sheriff and rami malek�*s upcoming detective. the two are brought together when a new murder matches the m0 of an old case that washington failed to solve, apparently driving him to a heart attack. you can talk to me. i'm all the friend you've got. the only thing about this insufferably tedious, sub—seven serial killer snorer that could give me a heart attack is leto's scenery chewing performance, apparently inspired by a quick reading of helter skelter, the application of a greasy bad jesus hairdo and the addition of a midriff tyre because apparently, nothing says crazy like being just a little bit overweight. why use that? all this pantomime nonsense is presented with a tone of awards—courting sombreness, with washington mumbling, malek gurning and cinematographerjohn schwartzman shooting everything in shadowy hues designed to cover up the total lack of substance. only thomas newman's score actually does anything interesting, and even that becomes grating as the script by writer—directorjohn lee hancock, whose cv includes the blind side, plods from one uninteresting setpiece to the next. is leto's character a killer orjust a joker? who cares? ijust wanted him to stop acting before he gave me a headache. you can find the little things, if you absolutely must, online now. hi, paxton! we heard london's in total lockdown. we are all locked in this psychological prison of burning aloneness. how's linda? she's somewhere in the house. is there some type of issue? she screams. we are fine. more fun, albeit in an utterly disposable way, is locked down, a comedic heist thriller written and shot during the covid pandemic. linda said she was planning to end ourthing. chiwetel ejiofor and anne hathaway are the couple whose relationship has fizzled out, but who nonetheless find themselves locked down together in london. you know, you think i'm so happy and normal? l no. he's become boring and furloughed, she's become disillusioned and desperate. neither is going anywhere until she hits on the idea of stealing a £3 million diamond from harrods with his help. can the thrill of theft reinvigorate their relationship? live wild or die, linda. directed by doug liman, who made swingers and mr and mrs smith, from a script by dirty pretty things writer steven knight, this is passingly fun fare. daft and a bit dopey, but still moderately distracting. his name? - edgar allan poe. edgar allan poe! wow! that said, when it comes to movies made during lockdown, this can't hold a candle to the diy british horrorfilm host, which recently came out on blu—ray, conjuring proper scares from the most restrictive filmmaking circumstances — a real low—budget gem. now, one thing we've all done far too much of during lockdown is spending time online, glued to our phones and computer screens. that's a scenario that's central to the jet—black dutch comedy—horror the columnist. katja herbers is femke, the journalist under pressure to complete a book, who finds herself unable to ignore the online trolls who constantly harass her with obscenities and death threats, something that will be unpleasantly familiar to many in this grand age of social media. when her noisy diy enthusiast neighbour turns out to be one of her online trolls, she helps him to fall off a roof, a release that miraculously unlocks her writer's block. and so, finding inspiration in revenge, she embarks on a killing spree, a deadly hobby that keeps her creative juices flowing. there's something thrillingly jolly about watching femke reek bloody vengeance on the keyboard warriors who have attacked her with anonymous impunity, a ghoulishly taboo delight that chimes with films likejohn waters's serial mom or alice lowe's prevenge. but there's also an acerbic, satirical bite to writer daan windhorst and director ivo van aart�*s gleefully anarchic film, as femke slips from smiling liberal to avenging wraith, publicly espousing the virtues of free speech while privately bumping off anyone who disagrees with her. you can log onto the columnist on vod platforms now. a few years ago, the russo brothers, anthony and joe, broke box office records with their series—ending marvel 2—parteravengers: infinity war and avengers: endgame. since then, they've returned to their roots and have now co—directed an adaptation of nico walker's novel cherry. i'm 23 years old and... ..sometimes i wonder if life was wasted on me. tom holland stars as the lost soul who we first meet robbing a bank, who then looks back upon his life to see how the last 15 years led him to this sorry end. his meeting with his sweetheart emily, played by ciara bravo, his enlistment in the army when heartbreak loomed, his time in battle and his return to cleveland with ptsd and a growing opioid dependency that draws both him and emily into spiralling drug addiction. have you ever heard of oxycontin? described by its creators as a sid and nancy—style romance for the post—9/11 generation, cherry is stylistically adventurous fare that knowingly plays with genre, shifting its tone, rhythm and aspect ratio to reflect our antihero's subjective experience of his changing world. i like you. a lot. thus we get the magical realism of falling in love, the full metaljacket feel of boot camp and the expansiveness of war, the disconnection of addiction and the cynical, almost sarcastic tone of the bankjobs. ma'am, it's nothing personal. at times, all this can start to feel like a triumph of style over substance, a turbo—charged indie film thatjust happens to have been made by some of the most celebrated technicians in the industry. but tom holland lends a much—needed humanity to the proceedings, reminding us that this is meant to be a personal story rather than a showcase for flashy cinematic invention. can you just talk about you for a second? it's on apple tv+ now. i'll leave you with news of an intriguing and unexpected oddity from canada, mouthpiece. are you still taking a breakfrom relationships? yeah. well, i don't know. two actors, amy nostbakken and norah sadava, play differing sides of one character, cassandra, a young woman struggling to come to terms with her mother's death. what would your mother have liked? what should cassie say at her funeral, how honest can she be about her mother's life, and will her somewhat precarious relationships with her family survive? do you really think that it's the best idea for you to do the eulogy? directed by patricia rozema, whose credits include mansfield park and into the forest, mouthpiece is loosely based on a stage play written by the film's two leads. yet it's not in any way stagey. on the contrary, there's a sublimely cinematic quality to the filmmaking, which swings nimbly from surreal doublings to dance numbers, from humour to horror and heartbreak. # my mama always told me... the brilliant score by nostbakken makes superb use of close harmony voices to emphasise the battling voices in cassie's head, while the carefully choreographed cinematography captures a world of reflections and mirrored images. mum would have wanted me to wear black. well, mum's dead. it all adds up to a remarkable film that feels emotionally honest and intellectually engaging, whilst also being engrossing and entertaining. it's the kind of thing that charlie kaufman tried and failed to pull off in his self—consciously clever—clever psychodrama i'm thinking of ending things. although, unlike kaufman, rozema's film seems to come from the heart rather than the head, offering a genuine insight into the human condition rather than a chin—stroking lecture on the anguish of being a misunderstood genius. you can find mouthpiece in virtual cinemas and on demand now. that's it for this week. thanks for watching the film review. stay safe, and i'll see you next week. looking pretty good from up here. thanks. jesus. hello. last week our earliest spring blossom took quite a battering. for the week ahead, generally a quieter picture, much lighter winds as the week gets under way. high pressure building up from the south—west. we still have a few weak weather fronts in the picture, could mean some showers for the south—east of england. towards the west, more cloud will push across northern ireland into western scotland, wales and the south—west as the day goes on. slight rain possible. the east should cling on sunshine until the evening, the wind is much lighter thanit evening, the wind is much lighter than it has been for the last week. the temperature is pretty healthy for the time of year. back where they should be, maybe a couple of degrees above. however although it feels springlike for the first few days of the week, we will keep the high until the end of the week, could be a significant change to the way things feel with a cold north—easterly wind developing. this is bbc news. i'm samantha simmonds with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. one of the bloodiest 2a hours since the military coup in myanmar. more than 20 demonstrators are killed in a single neighbourhood of yangon. the british home secretary orders an investigation into police actions during a vigil in memory of the murder victim, sarah everard. america's disaster agency is brought in as rising numbers of migrant children arrive at the country's southern border. retaliation and retribution between china and the west, as tensions rise over journalism and media coverage. and taylor swift, billie eilish and dua lipa lead the nominations for the grammys at the music insustry�*s biggest night of the year.
