But one can't help but yearn for more of the genre punch that characterised Edgerton's 2015 directorial debut, The Gift.
#Paranormal activity the marked ones crackle series#
It's beautifully crafted and acted, with particularly impressive work from the magnetic Hedges and Kidman, who conveys the internal conflict of mother realising that she will have to choose between her faith and her son with a series of blinks and tiny movements. 15A cert, gen release, 115 min The sophomore feature from actor-turned-director Edgerton is an effective, starry adaptation of Garrard Conley's gay conversion memoir. Starring Lucas Hedges, Nicole Kidman, Joel Edgerton, Joe Alwyn, Xavier Dolan, Troye Sivan, Cherry Jones, Flea, Russell Crowe. TBīOY ERASED ★★★☆☆ Directed by Joel Edgerton. The final scene, a flawless, moving replication of Queen's entire 20-minute set from Live Aid, is absurdly impressive, with Oscar-nominated Malek interpreting Mercury as a geomagnetic storm. 12A cert, gen release, 134 min Squabbling is a defining characteristic of Bohemian Rhapsody, which blazes through Freddie Mercury's life in a series of agreeably cheesy vignettes: Freddie's Parsi origins and disapproving dad, his lifelong love for Mary Austin (Boynton), the tours, the parties, the loneliness between, the hangers-on, and various eruptions of creative differences with the band. Starring Rami Malek, Lucy Boynton, Gwilym Lee, Ben Hardy, Joseph Mazzello, Aidan Gillen, Tom Hollander, Allen Leech, Mike Myers.

DCīOHEMIAN RHAPSODY ★★★★☆ Directed by Bryan Singer. After enduring two hours of this twaddle, we learn that we have been watching an origin story for a character that creators James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez expect to resurface throughout the coming decade. Why bother with speculative fiction if your speculations are so deadeningly unsurprising? You'll find more startling dystopias in the average Ken Loach film. 12A cert, gen release, 121 min Awful adaptation of some comic about a broken robot who is turned into a heroine by an eccentric scientist. Starring Rosa Salazar, Christoph Waltz, Keean Johnson, Mahershala Ali, Jennifer Connelly, Ed Skrein, Jackie Earle Haley, Lana Condor, Idara Victor, Eiza Gonzalez, Jeff Fahey, Casper Van Dien. DCĪLITA: BATTLE ANGEL ★☆☆☆☆ Directed by Robert Rodriguez. As Shakespeare digs his garden, he fails to process accumulated regrets or push away ancient sorrows. Branagh's direction is not always subtle, but for the most part this is a balanced drama concerning the perils of unfettered contemplation in later life. Written by Ben Elton, the film sits in odd relation to the author's Shakespeare sitcom Upstart Crow. 12A cert, gen release, 100 min Charming, tender study of Shakespeare's final days starring a big-nosed Branagh as the great man and Dench as his long-suffering wife. Starring Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, Kathryn Wilder, Lydia Wilson, Hadley Fraser, Jack Colgrave Hirst, John Dagleish.

ALL IS TRUE ★★★★☆ Directed by Kenneth Branagh.
