THE BIRTH OF A NATION
Nate Parker’s controversial drama about Nat Turner – the literate slave preacher who led a bloody rebellion – hits hard, but lacks subtlety.
MINE
A soldier (Armie Hammer) steps on a mine and can’t take his foot off for 52 hours until help arrives. With a concept like that it sounds like da bomb.
THE VOID
Horror about a gateway to hell that opens inside a hospital. Creepy creatures, but nowhere near as much fun without heavy metal and a BFG.
CATFIGHT
Two estranged college friends get their claws out for a catfight when a chance encounter at a party brings unresolved hostilities to the surface.
WHY HIM?
Bryan Cranston’s overprotective dad battles his daughter’s mad boyfriend (James Franco) in this bad taste comedy that features an actual teabagging.
WE ARE X
Respectful, if overenamoured, rock doc that follows the career of glam guitar band X Japan from formation in the ’80s to their recent reunion gig.
I.T.
Risible Pierce Brosnan tech thriller about a businessman who gets on the wrong side of a hacker. The dreadful performances are good for a laugh.
SILENCE
Martin Scorsese’s 30-years-in-the-making epic about two Jesuits who face a troubling test of faith after travelling to Japan in search of their missing mentor.
A MONSTER CALLS
Fantasy weepie about a tree monster that helps a young boy come to terms with his mother’s terminal illness. Bring a tissue. Or ten.
