Now on bbc news, its time for the film reviewment review. Hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. To take us through this weeks cinema releases is mark kermode. So mark, what do we have this week . We have darkest hour, for which gary 0ldman is tipped for 0scars. We have mukkabaaz 0ldman is tipped for 0scars. We have mukka baaz a boxing 0ldman is tipped for 0scars. We have mukkabaaz a boxing movie come political romance. And three billboards. Darkest hour, you wait yea rs billboards. Darkest hour, you wait years for a churchill film to come along and you get two at once we reviewed churchill on the show a few months ago. The story was that brian cox was playing brilliantly, i think, churchillanxiety cox was playing brilliantly, i think, churchill anxiety ridden in the run up to d day. Now gary 0ldman as churchill, anxiety ridden around the time of dunkirk. Its19a0. The the time of dunkirk. Its 1940. The nazis are the time of dunkirk. Its1940. The nazis are sweeping across europe, the resistance is crumbling everywhere. Hes being advised to appease rather than fight. Heres a clip. Nothing even remotely patriotic in death or glory if the odds are firmly on the former. Nothing inglorious in trying to shorten a war that we are clearly losing. Losing europe is still. Europe is lost. And before our forces are wiped out completely, now is the time to negotiate. In order to obtain the best conditions possible. Hitler will not insist on outrageous terms. He will know his owii outrageous terms. He will know his own weaknesses. Outrageous terms. He will know his owii weaknesses. He outrageous terms. He will know his own weaknesses. He will be reasonable. When will the lessons be learned . Reasonable. When will the lessons be learned . When will reasonable. When will the lessons be learned . When will the lesson be learned . When will the lesson be learned . how many more dictators must be woulded, a wooed, appeased, before we learn you cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth. That is pretty much the give me an award clip. Theres no surprise its got such awards buzz about it. He won a golden globe. Yeah, i think i remember in 2012, when it looked like he was going to win the oscar, then beaten to the punch. I think this time may be his year. It is a terrific performance, despite being buried under a lot of facial prosthetics, you know, you can see his personality coming through. Its a very interesting take on churchill. I think the performance has conviction and grit, much as i really, really like the brian cox films, this is a really solid, awards courting and probably awards worthy performance. The problem is the film itself, which is not as good. Its tojoe wrigtts credit that hes trying to inject a sense of immediate agassi and urgency into urgency into a bunch of people arguing in rool essentially. But he mixes up on one hand very well created, you know historical recreations with utterly fanciful dramatic license. Such as a scene in which churchill suddenly decides to ta ke which churchill suddenly decides to take a quick referenda of the way the British Public feel by going on the tube train and asking people what they think about whats going on, ina what they think about whats going on, in a scene which whatever the emotional truth of it may be, just struck me as utterly preposterous. The central performance is very good. Its a crack cast. Its a very good. Its a crack cast. Its a very good cast and clearly a crowd pleaser. Its going down incredibly well with the american critics and i think, i have no doubt that it will play very well. I have to say, from my point of view there were moments in it that i thought it was cringy. I felt like it was explaining everything, you know, obviously, this is complicated subject matter, but there are certain moments in which characters dont have to be introduced by their name, their title and rank whilst theyre actually in the room with you, but the thing that will carry it is the performance. It is a really good performance. It is a really good performance. It is a really good performance. I think it will continue to be rewarded with awards. We will soon know in the next few weeks. Whats the second choice . The brawler, mukka baaz, weeks. Whats the second choice . The brawler, mukkabaaz, a politically tinged boxing movie. Young boxer struggling to find his place in the world he finds himself at odds with the local big boss. He falls in love with a young woman who has no voice but whose actions speak volumes. Its occasionally a ramshackle affair. The dialogue is full of cloa k well affair. The dialogue is full of cloak well can youing. The cussing. The fight series you feel that youre watching people beating seven bells out of each other. It has the ability to eschew conventions and mix in grit and substance. I felt it could be tightened up on time a bit. But i liked that firstly it is a bit anarchic. Youre not sure where its going. It seems to switch genres at certain times. It keeps you on your toes. I mean a boxing movie should do, it is a film which dances around and keeps you alert. I enjoyed. It its not perfect, but its a pretty solid thriller with some sort of social things to say as well. 0k, yeah, thats interesting. Good to bring us something that i didnt know much about. I feel like ive read a lot about three billboards. Im a huge francis mcdormott fan. Shes most famous for fargo. Like darkest hour this is a major 0scar contender. Its a western inflected tragedy, comedy. This is a grieving mother who her daughter was abducted a killed and the local police force headed up by the police hasnt made any arrests. In a state of desperation she decides to take those three billboards and emblazen them with signs that name and shape them with signs that name and shape the Police Department and say how come there have been no arrests . Heres a clip. When the dna dont match no one whos ever been arrested and when the dna dont match any other crime nationwide, and when there wasnt a single eyewitness from the time she left your house to the time we found her, well, right now, there aint too much more we can do. You could pull blood from every man and boy in this town, over the age of eight. Theres several rights laws prevents thats. What if he was just several rights laws prevents thats. What if he wasjust passing through. Put blackpool from every man in the country. What if he was passing through the country . If it was me, id start up a database, every male born that was born, his him on it. Cross reference it, make 100 certain it was a correct match, then kill him. Yeah, well, theres definitely civil rights laws prevents that. You can see from that clip that what the film does is it plays with your sympathies. What shes saying there is outrageous. Suddenly the chief is reasonable. I think the real triumph of this film is its a tragi comedy, thats one of the few clips we could play without the swearing in it. It is very funny. It can make you laugh and guffaw. He writes brilliantly. He had a cynical edge before. But this actually has heart. Because the tragedy is if anything more powerful than the comedy. What you get is a story about people who are eaten up by rage, eaten up by anger, eaten up by rage, eaten up by anger, eaten up by desperation. Its really a film about how those things impact upon the characters. There are these lines that are delivered as trite little greeting card messages, anger only begets greater anger. Through love co m es only begets greater anger. Through love comes calm. Yet they seem to be sincere. What really surprised me is how tender this film s yes, its funny, yes, very violent. Yes its very dark. Yes it deals with edgy subject matter. But it has a really tender heart. It upsets some people because all the characters are seen to be three dimensional, like sam rockwell is introduced as a racist come. But as it goes on, you see he isa come. But as it goes on, you see he is a victim of his circumstances. That doesnt play very well with everybody because it is a film about moral ambivalence in which there isnt a good character or a bad character. Everybody is in this more ras. I have seen it twice. Second time it was more powerful. When it needs to be funny, it is blistering funny. But its really tragic. 0ddly enough, very tender. Goodness. Rich. Very rich film. Yes, id be interested to know what you think about it. We can discuss next week, for now, i know best 0ut about it. We can discuss next week, for now, i know best out is another film, stunning scenery, beautiful setting, but bleak as well. Yes hostiles the end of an era western. Christian bale is a battle hardened captain ordered to take his nemesis back to his sacred lands to die. It isa back to his sacred lands to die. It is a film therefore about coming to terms with the legacy of violence. Actually the reason ive chosen it is because it has a brilliant score, which is really einvolve tiff. The evocative. It seems to come out of the landscape. It really captured me. I think its not getting perhaps the attention that it should have got. Its a very interesting piece of work. Its called hos tiles. Its worning it for the score alone worth it for the score alone. For dvd, one of the films of last year detroit. Why isnt that on the film radar i dont begin to understand. So well made. Anatomy of an uprising. Both actors brilliant. I would have had both of them in supporting actor nominations. Fa ntastically supporting actor nominations. Fantastically directed yet somehow it seems to have slipped off the radar, which is a shame. I thought it was a really gripping piece of work. Absolutely. A hard watch, but brilliant. It has to be tough because of the subject matter. It would be wrong if it waebts. Absolutely. This is the chance to see it if you didnt see it in the cinema. Thank you very much. See you next week.

Its a busy week at the cinema. Enjoy your cinema going. See you next time, bye bye. Good evening. Its been a grey and grab week for many parts of the country. Most places with cloud cover. Though we freshen up things next week with sunshine, it will turn a lot colder with wintry showers. Through the evening and overnight, the fog will return to central and eastern areas. You can see the change is afoot further west with patchy rain across northern ireland, western fringes of the mainland by morning. Milder here, but a little bit chilly again in the countryside. Therell be a frost across the glens of scotland, even fog here which will take a time to lift. It could be the north of scotla nd lift. It could be the north of scotland where we see the lions share of the sunshine. Therell be a bit of brightness elsewhere. We have the legacy of the old weather front weve had all week giving patchy drizzle. This weather system creeps in gradually eastwards, only gradually. It never makes its way com pletely gradually. It never makes its way completely across the country during the weekend. It just completely across the country during the weekend. Itjust tends to peter out, the rain on it. That means we will have a lot of cloud again on sunday, patchy rain and drizzle. The main player is this, this comes along late in the day bringing wet and windy weather and behind it, thats when it gets much colder. Well have plenty more on that through the evening.
