David Michod’s The King chronicles the early life of King Henry V
The King, adapted from
Shakespeare’s Henriad, is based on the life of King Henry V. Although ambitious in its scope, the epic
war film tends to drag on at times. But what holds it together is
Timothee Chalamet’s masterful portrayal of King Henry V as he evolves from a disgraced nobleman into a prudent monarch. Hal, as he is known, is reluctant to take over the throne from his father King Henry IV of England, but he is nonetheless crowned emperor.

Tom Hanks is in peak avuncular mode in this Paul Greengrass western
. He plays Captain Kidd, a Civil War veteran who now makes a living travelling between remote Texas towns, reading out the news (hence the title, for those who were expecting more Hugh Grant and phone hacking). On one trip, he comes across a German girl (a fantastic Helena Zengel) who d been kidnapped and raised by Kiowa Indians, but whose adoptive family has just been slaughtered. Being Tom Hanks, he decides to take her back to her only surviving family, and the journey plays out like a reverse
The Searchers, in which Hanks s underlying decency battles against racists, misogynists and all the other dregs of the Old West.
