Transcripts For BBCNEWS The Film Review

cheering. you can murder a liberator, but you can't murder liberation! you can murder a revolutionary, but you can't murder revolution! and you can murder a freedom fighter, but you can't murder freedom! lakeith stanfield plays young car thief william o'neill, who's strong—armed into spying on black panther leader fred hampton, charismatically portrayed by daniel kaluuya. hey! are you listening? jesse plemons is roy mitchell, a federal agent instructed by martin sheen's dracula—likej 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 tire 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 somberness, 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 set piece 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 this i is so happy and normal? 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, don't 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 fair. 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 film—making 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 thrillinglyjolly 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 like john 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—parter avengers: 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 is 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 star romance for the post—9/1! generation, cherry is stylistically adventurous fair 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 that just 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 stage—y. on the contrary, there's a sublimely cinematic quality to the film—making, 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. the weather on sunday morning isn't looking too bad for some of us, bright, even sunny skies on the way but it's not going to last. clouds expected to increase and rain is in the forecast. quite early in the morning it will already start to rain across some western areas of the uk. as one weather system pulls away, a bit of a gap through the early hours and then the weather front pushing in on sunday. the forecast through the early hours shows the clear skies across most of the uk. a few scattered showers here and there. the wind is light and by early on sunday morning, temperatures close to freezing in some of the northern towns and cities. in the south, it's closer to around 4 degrees for example in plymouth and cardiff. here's that bright and sunny morning, increasing many parts of the uk but cloud quickly increasing from the west, so rain in belfast and rain in the northern parts of the lake district. rain reaching birmingham sometime in the afternoon. not the extreme south—east of england or the north or east of scotland. in aberdeen, it may well stay sunny through the day. i think as far as southern england is concerned and east anglia, you will get rain later on sunday. the forecast into monday shows high pressure building very close to the uk. weather fronts are approaching us which will be brushing the far north—west. but i think the high pressure is going to eventually win. here's monday morning, fine and bright and sunny weather, cloud increasing in the north west. skies a bit hazy in the morning and afternoon for places like belfast and glasgow but sunshine in norwich and london. temperatures, 13, lighter winds and sunshine, it shouldn't feel bad at all. tuesday into wednesday, the high pressure pushing itself over the uk but a weather front around the edge, so at times it may be cloudy. on balance, the high pressure will win and the weather will be settled. so, here's the outlook for the week ahead. you can see mostly settled weather across the majority of the uk. temperatures rising but then it looks like it's going to turn colder again towards the end of the week. this is bbc news. i'm celia hatton with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. confrontations in london as police break up an unauthorised vigilfor sarah everard, who was kidnapped and killed. a serving policeman is charged with her murder. ijust wanted to be here today to stand in solidarity with all women. i just... it's really, really upset me, what's happened. exactly one year since a young black woman, breonna taylor, was fatally shot by police officers — us federal investigators say they've made significant progress in their probe into the killing. her boyfriend says he needs justice. breonna taylor was murdered. so, i mean somebody is responsible. the only
