Charlie Huston adapts his cult bestseller into a Darren Aronofsky‑directed comedy starring Austin Butler as ex‑baseball player Hank Thompson drawn into 1990s New York crime. The Roses pairs Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman in a new take on marital acrimony that invites comparisons with the 1989 War of the Roses and hints at a potentially devastating final shot. Young Mothers, from the Dardenne brothers, follows teen mothers in a state home with gentleness, compassion and an emphasis on giving and asking for help. Little Trouble Girls examines a choir girl's sexual awakening under a humiliating choirmaster. Spinal Tap II reunites the band for a reflective sequel.
Comic book author and novelist Charlie Huston adapts his own cult bestseller of the same title, Darren Aronofsky directs and this comedy certainly signals a shift in tone after his last movie, body-image tragedy The Whale. Austin Butler stars as ex-baseball-player Hank Thompson who gets mixed up in the seedy underbelly of crime in 90s New York.
The Roses Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman star in this new version of the acrid satire of marital breakdown last filmed in 1989 as The War of the Roses with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner and audiences will be keen to see if this new movie matches its predecessor's devastating final shot. Certainly Cumberbatch and Colman look like an A-lister clash.
An amazing return to form for the Belgian veteran masters of classic social-realism the Dardenne brothers. The movie follows the lives of teen mothers and mothers-to-be at a state home gentleness, compassion and love are the keynotes of this quietly outstanding movie. The straightforward assertion of hope through giving and asking for help is powerful.
This elegant and mysterious debut picture from Slovenian director Urska Djukic reinvents the cliched idea of a Catholic girl's sexual awakening: an all-girl teenage choir is under the thumb of a demanding and charismatic choirmaster, who isn't above humiliating girls if they displease him in any way.
