Thank you very much for your company. The film review is coming up next and then get news name. Good night. Newsday. Hello, and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. To take us through this weeks cinema releases, mark kermode is with me as ever. What have you been watching, mark . Well, we have the new Clint Eastwood film, cry macho, which i know youre particularly looking forward to. We have Mothering Sunday, adapted from a novella by greg swift. And Lin Manuel Mirandas tick, tick. Boom i have nothing against Clint Eastwood nothing at all. No, no. Hes made some great films. He has made some great films. This isnt one of them. Ok, so this is adapted from a novel that actually began life as a screenplay. Couldnt be sold as a screenplay, turned into a novel, then suddenly Film Companies wanted it. Nothing happened. Its been around for ages. At one point schwarzenegger was attached to it. At one point, schwarzenegger was attached to it. Anyway, Clint Eastwood is mike, one time rodeo star, who is sent to mexico by his former boss to retrieve his son, who the boss says is living with his mother, who is completely unsuitable. I need to go to mexico. He says, why . Why should i do it . And he says, because you owe me. I stood by you when your life fell apart. Clint, being clint, goes 0k, sounds fine. So he goes to mexico. In no time at all he finds the mother, finds her son and starts heading back to the border, but then discovers hes being tracked by the federales and gangsters. So, he has to hole up in a small town, where he is looked after in a cantina and gets to teach the boy about horse riding. Heres a clip. Look where youre going and go where youre looking. Good. Heels down. Yeah, dont look like a sack of potatoes. Your dads going to be a happy man, i can see that. Ill see you in a bit. Yeah. So, the film is called cry macho because the young boy has a cockerel called macho because hes involved in cockfighting, which is actually how Clint Eastwood finds him in the beginning. That is pretty much the one interesting part of the screenplay the name. Beyond that, itsjust a series of every cliche you can possibly imagine. Firstly, every woman Clint Eastwood meets falls in love with him immediately comes onto him. Even though theyre decades younger. None of that matters. Hes Clint Eastwood. When they turn up in a small town, its like a picture postcard town, theres a Cantina Thatjust happens to have a widowed woman it who immediately takes one look at Clint Eastwood and this young child, takes them in, starts offering them food and bed and lodging and support. There conveniently is the person who has horses, and horses need breaking in. Happily, clint can show them. You go ok, this was written by a computer. You go shift alt balding neo western go. Its written by writers on gran torino. Look, Clint Eastwood in his time has been a great film maker, i mean, a really great film maker. Incredibly economical, like a textbook great film maker. This is really poor. Its cliched and hackneyed and dull. The only thing that kind of stops you getting cross about it is its so sort of insipid that its impossible to get annoyed about it. I did try, but i couldnt work up the enthusiasm. No, 0k. Is Mothering Sunday much better . It is, its much better. Adapted from a screenplay by graham swift. Essentially, its a story of a woman becoming a writer. Some of the main periods as a 20, at this a young age. Their child, who works in a house both families have suffered losses through world war ii. Shes having an affair with paul, played byjosh oconnor. But the relationship has no future because he is betrothed to somebody of equal status. Now, it may look from the outside like a kind of glum, upstairs downstairs Downton Abbey hybrid. Its nothing of the sort. Its a story about passion and grief and rebirth and artistic creativity. Its very frank in its depiction of intimacy without ever being gratuitous. Its directed by eva husson, who is a really interesting director, script by alice birch who is a terrific scriptwriter. , hauntingly filmed, the most brilliant score. I did feel i needed to see it twice to get the measure. The first time i liked it, the second time it really struck me as being very, very well done and very moving. And as i said, the story is told over disparate time periods. Theyre shuffled really well. Its not the film that the poster makes it look like. Its much more full blooded than that. I think youd like it, too. Ill be interested to know what you think. Thats interesting, and ive seen some of alice birch� s stage work. As a writer, shes very talented. Absolutely brilliant. And the third film. Do you have to be a fan of musicalfor this one . Of musicals for this one . It probably doesnt hurt. This is Lin Manuel Mirandas tribute tojonathan larson, who created the � 90s hit rent, but died before it could open. Starring Andrew Garfield, based on his show about his own failure to get on in early musical a Futuristic Sci Fi Musical based on 1984. Anyway, Andrew Garfield isjohn, whos got all these things approaching. He has to get the showcase on for his musical, but the most important thing that is ticking is that he is approaching a significant birthday. He says if he doesnt do it by then, his life will be worth anything. I need ten copies. Youre an angel on earth. This is the last album, seriously. I know, thank you. I dont want you to pay. Somebody needs to check out this trash. So, i hearyoure moving out ofjohns place. Thats the end of an era. Its very sad. No, no, were noti talking about that. Wait, carol. Youre coming next friday, right . Whats happening next friday . The superbia workshop. Im surprised he hasnt mentioned it. Guys, this is the biggest break ive ever had. This is that moment. Its the first time people i are going to see the show that arent just us. Good thing you didnt put too much pressure on it or anything. Its true, though. You get to a certain age i and you stop being a writer who waits tables and you become a waiter with hobby. You see, its very energetic. Its very front foot. Its an adaptation, but it feels like has theatre in it it has stage theatre in it. But it does feel like everything is at that level and that nothing. Fine, 0k. So, you have to love musicals in the first place, anyway. There are some real earworm songs. Its an interesting kind of self referential thing about somebody writing a musical about their inability to get a musical produced. Clearly, Lin Manuel Miranda loves the stuff, and Andrew Garfield is terrific. Youd think he had been doing Musical Theatre forever. Apparently, when he was asked if he could sing he said, when do i need to do it . They said a year. He said, in that case, yes. He learned pretty much from scratch. It feels very stage y. It reminded me of times at boys in the band, which is always been better on stage than on screen. Again, theres a lot of contrivance in that, but on stage, it feels more natural. But i liked i, its a very interesting story. Its in cinemas now and on netflix. I suspect its primary audience will be on netflix. Sometimes its a little bit like just dial it backjust a bit. A bit like jazz hands, intriguing. And your choice as best out . Now, you want to see spencer. Idid. Tell me. I thought what was brilliant about it, much to my surprise, was it was so brilliant at doing claustrophobia. Oh, yeah. From within a few minutes in, really, you feel so claustrophobic. Yet its set in these obviously enormous house, beautiful big yet its set in this obviously enormous house, beautiful big rooms, massive grounds. But as a viewer, i would go somewhere like that and think all this space, all this freedom. Of course, its the last thing that the central character has. Its the shining. Basically, its the shining. Shes trapped in it, its a ghost story. There is literally the ghost of ann boleyn who is there is literally the ghost of ann boleyn who kind of appears to her. All the stuff when she goes up to park house and its a misty moor and wuthering heights. Didnt you think that Kristen Stewart was absolutely brilliant . Idid. I sometimes feel a little uncomfortable watching things about the royalfamily and i know Pablo Lorraine would say its not exactly about the royal family. Its a fable from a true tragedy. It is a kind of fairy tale. It iss a princess in a tower and very much. Usually, very clever, very clever. Visually, very clever, very clever. I thought the claustrophobia was genius. And Johnny Greenwood score. Just does all the heavy lifting. I love it. I think if Kristin Stewart doesnt get a major nomination. And if this court is to get nominated i will be very cross. And if this score is to get nominated i will be very cross. I cant believe that wont happen. I cant believe it. Dvds, streaming. Theres a re issue of mike lees naked. Because the bfa, a full two coming out on dvd and blu ray. Because the bfa, a full season coming out on dvd and blu ray. I love so many mike lee films. I havent watched naked again since i first saw it back in the day, and i suppose i have to. I rememberfeeling very, very uncomfortable watching it. Ill say it is, it hasnt got any less uncomfortable. Ill say this, it hasnt got any less uncomfortable. Its unbelievably quotable but it is very spiky, very aggressive, very misanthropic. Certainly in the central character, who is played so brilliant. He is brilliant. I remember him being fantastic, the whole cast is fantastic. It is like spending the time on somebody who is right on the very edge of aggression all the time. I think mike lee is a genius. Its always worth revisiting his work. For me, nuts in may is one of the greatest things ive ever seen. When you look back at naked now, you go, wow, thats a powerful piece of work. Whether you like it or not, its a powerful film. It was Ground Breaking at the time. Very different from so much of his other works. But i could list a few other mike lees that id rather sit and watch, im afraid. Brilliantly, the bfi is doing this whole retrospect was up his entire career is there for everyone to marvel at. Which is fantastic. We need a rainy weekend to just sit and watch the lot, it would be wonderful. Just watch nuts in may over and over again. Thank you very much, mark. See you next time. That is it for this week. Enjoy your cinema going, your streaming, whatever youre up to, and we will have more next week. Thanks for being with us. Goodbye. Hello there. Where the skies stay clear through the night, we see mist and fog. A bit chilly in these areas. Theres a lot of Drizzly Cloud ahead of that but where we keep the brakes, its a tad on the chilly side. This time of year, it does linger through the morning, but a lot of dry weather for southern and eastern areas. Our rainman meanders into the north and west of england and wales. Rainman. Just a rogue shower and still mild as you can see, temperatures 11 13. That above average Temperature Trend will continue for much of the week for much of the rain across. For the morning ahead, watch out for some patchy. Welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore, im karishma vaswani. The headlines.
