That this is your kind of film, and so not mine. You have two minutes to persuade me. It is not a jump scare horror like the trailers make it look like. If you expect that you will be disappointed. It is a creepy thriller. It is set after the outbreak of one unspecified plague like incident which has pretty much done for civilisation. There was a family, mother, father, son living in a remote woodland. The windows are boarded up, there is a corridor with a red door which is the door to the outside world. They have to make a decision about whether or not to accept another family into their home. They would bring friendship and Food Supplies but also brings suspicion and paranoia and desire, and mysterious sleepwalking. Here is a clip. Angela is an grandpas room. She was having nightmares so i woke up. I was in the back hall, i saw the door open, i heard something. Andrew was there . Yes. Did you see Stanley Last Night . He cant remember. You tell mummy what you remember. Does he sleepwalk . No, it doesnt make any sense. It doesnt make sense, andrew card reach those lots. It is all a bit claustrophobic, is it . You get the sense of people starting to distrust each other and be suspicious of each other. If you think of a film like the witch that has deep themes, they are creepy but not full of jump scares. They make you feel very worried and uncomfortable. The Sound Effects and score work in favour of this film. It was terrific. It occupies a realm between being awake and being asleep. It contracts during certain sequences. Implying a dream sequence. Maybe we are, maybe we are not awake or asleep. It is what happens when you lose track of Objective Reality and you just start to trust your fears. It is like that classic horror movie with a cold hand on the back of the neck. I found it really chilling. It is not the film the trailers make it look like. They make it look like it is a slam bang horror. If you want something that is going to cause you to lose sleep, you should see it. I think you would not enjoy it but admire it. The director is in his 20s. Incredibly challenging. And talented. It is all to do with what is implied rather than what is actually shown. Which is the sort of film that is the most frightening. I hearyou, in terms of the skill that went into it. The midwife is about a friendship between the two main characters. The midwife is finding her profession under threat. Catherine deneuve is beatrice, her fathers lover has had a medical diagnosis, suddenly she reappears. What do you want . It turns out maybe she wants friendship, closure, maybe its financial, who knows . These two characters start, one of these characters drinks and gambles. The key distinction between them is that one of them has been involved in bringing children into the world. The other services not for me. What i like about this was it has well observed characters. It has people in professions that you actually believe in. I can understand all of those things that happen and i can think that they really have these stories. Has a rather over emphatic and tinkly score. It tells you things are moving when you did not need to be taught. It was very or played with some very fine performances. It is understated. For the most part, it allows you to observe the characters. Most important to believe in them. And that is important, to have characters that you can absolutely believe in. And that, oddly enough brings us to spider man homecoming. We spoke before about this. We were talking about logan. I said that this was a low key Character Study Posing as a Superhero Movie but this is like Ferris Buellers day off with added webbing. He also happens to have the superpowers, and he wants to become an avenger. Robert Downey Robert downeer says he has to go back to school, learn your lesson. What he is desperately trying to do is to punch above his weight, whilst also keeping his identity absolutely secret. Here is a clip. You are the spiderman. You were on the ceiling. What are you doing in my room . Nobody knows, mr stark knows, he made my suit is are you an avenger . Can keep a secret . This is the craziest thing that has ever happened to me. We are both chuckling. This is tom holland, who won a bafta award, a rising star. It is doing Something Different with the character. We have seen many incarnations of spiderman. Since i have been working as a critic this is the third or fourth Spider Man Film and it is, how many times are you going to reboot this . They are playing to the adolescent story, the school boy story, The High School story, so there is all the action stuff, web spinning and dealing with criminals, but really what makes it work is The High School stuff, the stuff about wanting to fit in and being awkward, wanting to grow up but not but not growing up yet, and what he has actually got to do is hang out in the canteen. I liked it very much. I went in thinking, do we really need to go here, all over again . But this does do Something Different. Hes very good. Hes very charming in a very kind of oddball way. Only one false step in the film, theres a lovely sequence which is a direct reference to Ferris Buellers day off, and they make reference to it. Its ok, we got is already. It sounds good. It sounds different. You have been loving this, this week, as anyone who has been following you on twitter, baby driver. I really like this film, made by edgar wright. It is a Car Chase Movie which is actually a musical. Everything in it is cut to a fantastic selection of pop tunes. The joy of it, for me, is this. It is really brilliant cinema, c on a big screen with a good sound system, it is witty, clever, poignant and nostalgic and it is made by somebody who was going to direct another movie, ant man, and then walked away because it wasnt a film he wanted it to be. Now he has made exactly the movie he wanted and it is a pleasure to see a director like edgar wright saying, this is the film i want to make. I have seen it three times. It is like An American In Paris meets the french connection. I hear you, see it at the big screen. That said, a quick thought for anyone not wanting to see things on the big screen. What is out on dvd . I mentioned it early on, logan. Nominally a superhero film. It is a film about ageing, about regret, about losing the powers that you once had. It is really well directed. You can do something really interesting with the superhero theme, and as long as we get movies like that and spider man, there will always be new life, people say, havent we had enough of this . But as long as people keep reinventing it, it will not die out. That is a good week. Yes, but you must go and see it comes at night. Get under your skin and you will appreciate it. People are laughing in my ear. That said, still lovely to see you, as ever. Mark kermode, thank you. A reminder that you can find all the film news and reviews online at the usual address. And you can find all of our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. That is it this week. Enjoy your cinema going. Those that you are brave enough to go and see goodbye. Hello, once again.
