Which was based on an article about strippers and was also helmed by a woman. But i think zola is an even better film than hustlers, partly because its based directly on the words of its brazen heroine and partly because it so smartly paced, scripted and performed. Rising Star Taylour Paige follows up her turn in ma rainey� s Black Bottom with another sparky performance. And american Honeys Star riley keough, who incidentally is the daughter of lisa marie presley, is an absolute riot. Oh, god like, why you on my twitter . Why are you on my facebook, why are you on my. Why are you damming me . Sis, why are you tagging me in photos . Let me know. Yes, sis but youre innocent, so weve got to keep fighting. It doesnt matter that im innocent, dad. Its not about justice. Its about finding peace. From the Station Agent to spotlight, director Tom Mccarthy always delivers great character based dramas. His new Film Stillwater is more of a hybrid of drama and thriller. I loved her. I know you did. But everybody thinks that i killed her. We have exhausted every possible legal action. Is a lawyer not helping you . Im doing it myself, for now. Matt Damon Stars as bill, a gruff, old fashioned Oil Worker from stillwater, oklahoma, who checks into a hotel in marseille. It transpires that his daughteralison, played by abigail breslin, is in prison in france, convicted of the murder of her classmate and partner, lina. Alison is convinced that a new lead could get her out Ofjail And Bill decides to investigate himself, with the help of a local that he meets at the hotel. Virginie is a liberal bohemian actress portrayed by call my agents camille cottin. She also happens to have a cute little daughter who bonds with bill. And so an odd Couple Friendship plays out alongside the drama of a father trying to clear the name of his incarcerated daughter. Both are involving but theyre an odd juxtaposition. On the one hand, there is an arthouse Character Piece about a Culture Clash relationship. On the other, a crime drama. When this plunges headlong into Thriller Territory its a bit of a jolt. But damon and cottin are great together and this has something to say about personal politics, the media and prejudice. While its not mccarthys best work, stillwater is eminently watchable. What did you do . You just have to trust me. You have the perfect life. The rich, Handsome Husband who adores you. Deaerohare, theres neverenough time. Never enough of you. Dear mrs stirling, know that you hold my hopes, my heart in your hands. Features . Its rory from archive. I think ive found something youd want to come and Take A Look at. Uh, is that gum . Mm hm. We dont allow gum in the reading rooms. I swallowed it. Great. Now to a Romance Set both in the 1960s and the present the last letter from your lover. Felicityjones stars as ellie, a journalist who finds old Love Letters in the archives of the newspaper where she works. Aided by mild mannered archivist, rory, played by nabhaan rizwan, she investigates a romance from the past. As they discover more clues, flashbacks reveal the star crossed letter writers. A Married Amnesic socialite called jennifer, who is played by shailene woodley, and Callum Turners charming journalist, anthony. At least, i think hes meant to be charming. Theres very little Chemistry Or Credibility in the � 60s scenes, despite decent costumes, props and production design. A Muttering Woodley seems uncomfortable with the dialogue, perhaps with good reason. The banter between the pair feels artificial and the attraction too sudden. This is the kind of film where you only know the characters love each other because they say so repeatedly. The last letter from your lover is based on a novel byjojo moyes, whose adaptations have had some success on the big screen. Me before you was a big hit with audiences and like that film, this has plenty of melodrama to tug on the heartstrings. But the dual timelines hamper the tension, and i wouldve been happierjust watching the excellent felicityjones as ellie. Shes the best thing in this film, though its a sad reflection on the industry when you can just tell an actress is pregnant in real life simply because they dont dress her in figure hugging clothes. The thing is, if youre going to Elope Probablyjust send a text. Hey, babes, meet me at the station if youre interested, comewith if you want to change your life forever, smiley face, aubergine, road sign, sausage. Screaming a man struggles to make a film about his alcoholic father in the venezuelan doc, El Father plays himself. A documentary about the making of a feature film, this comes from mo scarpelli, the partner of the director at the centre of the story. Herfella, jorge thielen armand, is tearing his hair out as he tries to direct his own father, who is as the title suggests playing himself. Making a film in the Amazonian Jungle is enough of a challenge, and it proves even harder to stop dad from sinking a bottle of rum every time his back is turned. El father is certainly a character, with his wild eyes and colourful past. But you need to actually watch the film that this is about to find out more about that past. Viewed on its own, El Father plays himself is frustratingly enigmatic. Youre best off catching this in a Double Bill with the original film, la fortaleza, and thats happening at londons ica this weekend. Some things are older than science. Older than god. The earth has its own secrets. And if you get close enough, youll hear it. Finally, an irish horror that owes a debt to everything from An American Werewolf In London to shaun of the dead. Boys from County Hell centres around an irish town you might typically call sleepy, but when Construction Work disturbs a legendary ancient vampire, a group of survivors wake up fast. Forced to admit that the stories theyve been telling tourists are actually true, eugene, played byjack rowan, and his father francie, played by nigel oneill, battle to survive the night and outwit an ancient bloodthirsty foe. A low Budget Horror from Writer Director chris baugh, this has some puzzling editing decisions and while its spin on the Vampire Myth is original, its not desperately engaging. This is at its best when going for the comedyjugular and there are some amusing moments, thanks to sarcastic humour and judicious use of very strong language. Boys from County Hell may not be up there with the best Blokey Rural Comedy Horrors but better than 2009s atrocious lesbian vampire killers, in which james Corden And Matthew horne faced a village of sapphic bloodsuckers. Oh, come on, like, what are we supposed to do about this . Thanks for watching the Film Review with me, anna smith. I will be back next week. In the meantime, stay safe. Hello there. The very unsettled August Weather continues into this weekend. Low pressure nearby will generate further showers, and again, like friday, we could see some thunderstorms which could lead to some localised flooding in places. But there will be some good spells of sunshine in between, particularly across more southern areas. So, here it is, this area of Low Pressure, which is going to stick around both saturday, sunday and indeed even into monday. Lots of isobars on the charts, so itll be quite breezy again, particularly across southern, south western areas, and across the northern isles, gusts of 30 a0 mph. Well have showers pretty much from the word go anywhere, but most of them will be across scotland, northern ireland, western england and wales. They will drift their way further eastwards into the afternoon, and again therell be some torrential downpours in places. But some good spells of sunshine, particularly across the South East. Another breezy day, these are the mean wind speeds. Temperatures will be a bit disappointing for august, particularly when the showers come along, Itll Feel quite cool. But in the sunny spells, we could make 20 degrees or so across the South East. Otherwise, generally the mid to high teens celsius. As we head through saturday night, we continue with the breeze, further showers. Again, some of them will be quite heavy, particularly across central, northern and western areas. Perhaps turning a little bit quieter across the South East quadrant of the country. And again nowhere particularly cold, with overnight lows 12 14 degrees. So, into sunday, ourarea of Low Pressure still with us, drifting a little bit further northwards and weakening a little bit. Theres fewer isobars on the charts, but theres still enough energy in the low Pressure System to generate further showers, which again could be quite heavy in places throughout sunday. Mainly across central and northern parts of the country, because i think as we head on into the afternoon, there may be a Greater Chance of seeing some sunnier, drier weather for wales, central and southern england. So, that mayjust bump up temperatures to 21 degrees, slightly lighter winds. Again, for most, though, the high teens celsius. Into next week, then, for monday, our area of Low Pressure� s still with us, so its going to be another day of sunshine and showers. But the winds will turn light, and the system continues to weaken. And as we head on into tuesday, weve got this bump of High Pressure which will build in, and that should settle things down. But Low Pressure always close by to the north and the west of the uk. So, well have most of the showers through the new week across northern and western areas. Greater chance of seeing some drier, sunnier and warmer weather in the south and east. This is bbc news.
