The Jungle Book 3D
Green Room (18)
(PG)
Disney’s new animated retelling of
Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book
is a triumph. Raised by a family of
wolves, Mowgli encounters an array
of jungle animals in an epic journey
full of fun, friendship and selfdiscovery.
AD
Patrick Stewart is a revelation in
Jeremy Saulnier’s savage, gory and
refreshingly shocking horror/thriller.
Visceral and bloody, Green Room’s
spiky bursts of violence are touched
with both black comedy and
sociological insight, in a brilliant mix
that further cements Saulnier’s
growing reputation as one of US indie
cinema’s most innovative voices.

Naomie Harris and Stellan Skarsgård

Money Monster (15)
Winner of the Golden Bear for
Documentary at the Berlinale, Fire at
Sea explores the chaos and despair
of the ongoing migrant crisis. Set on
the Sicilian island of Lampedusa,
one of Europe’s most symbolic
borders, Gianfranco Rosi contrasts
the settled lives of locals with the
complete disenfranchisement of the
migrants, desperately seeking a
place of greater safety.
George Clooney and Julia Roberts

Embrace Of The
Serpent (12A)
The Nice Guys (15)
Oscar-nominated for Best Foreign
Film, Ciro Guerra’s Embrace of the
Serpent has been hailed as a
masterpiece. It takes a breathtaking
journey through the Colombian
Amazon, following the interwoven
stories of two European explorers;
one in the early 1900s, the other 40
years later.
SUB
Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe
make a perfect odd-couple in this
hilarious, offbeat bromance. It’s by
Shane Black, director of cult hit Kiss
Kiss Bang Bang, and employs a
similarly louche wit. It’s almost
absurdly entertaining, with Gosling
and Crowe enjoying a surprising
chemistry; and Crowe in particular
revealing excellent comic timing.

Mon Roi (15)
Versus is a humorous, provocative
and revealing account of one of
Britain’s most celebrated filmmakers,
Ken Loach, as he looks back at over
fifty years in cinema. Granted
exclusive access, director Louise
Osmond (Dark Horse) follows Loach
on-set as he completes his final
feature I, Daniel Blake and reviews
the creative peaks, trials and
tribulations of his career.

Me Before You (12A)
Mon Roi is an intoxicating love story,
following the tempestuous, ten-year
romance between two 40-something
Parisians. Filmed closely as they eat,
talk, laugh, make love and argue it
makes for an immensely memorable
film; funny, charming and moving in
equal measure.
Emelia Clarke (Game of Thrones)
plays Lou, whose cheery attitude is
put to the test when she begins
working as a carer for embittered,
cynical Will (Claflin), a wealthy
banker paralysed by an accident

Where To Invade Next
Tale Of Tales (15)
(15)
Oscar-winning documentarian and
political provocateur Michael Moore
(Fahrenheit 9/11, Bowling for
Columbine) is back – just in time for
US election season. Hailed as a
return to form by critics, it’s an
expansive and subversive comedy
with Moore traversing the globe to
find solutions to America’s problems
in the workings of other countries.
Inspired by seventeenth-century
Neapolitan fairytales, Tale of Tales is
a gorgeously grotesque triptych of
fables that sees a king and queen
(Reilly and Hayek), unable to
conceive, seeking gruesome advice
from a sorcerer; Toby Jones as a
monarch nursing a pet flea until it
grows alarmingly in size; and Vincent
Cassel’s sex-obsessed leader being
tricked into an undesirable tryst...

Elvis & Nixon (15)
Absolutely Fabulous:
The Movie (TBC)
In 1970, Elvis Presley pitched up at
the White House and requested a
meeting with then President Richard
Nixon. What followed was surely one
of the weirdest high-level meetings
in American political and popcultural history.
AD
A hilarious feature-length riff on
Jennifer Saunders’ best creation, the
unfortunate PR ‘guru’ Edina Monsoon
(Saunders) and her sycophantic
former model pal Patsy (Joanna
Lumley), still drinking, partying and
drugging to excess.
