DeHann in good health

A Cure for Wellness (18) ●●● ●●

Gore Verbinski’s psychological horror suffers in comparison to the similarly themed Shutter Island.

It isn’t as intriguing a watch, or as stylishly shot, as Scorsese’s 2010 neo-noir. But Dane DeHaan does some fine work in the demanding lead role and its claustrophobic settings get under your skin.

White Gold (18) ●●● ●●

Cross Mad Men with The Inbetweeners and chances are it would look something like this.

The eighties-set tale of double-glazing showroom salesmen never reaches either show’s lofty heights, but is disposable enough comedy.

Ed Westwick shows charisma, while Joe Thomas and James Buckley are game for a ribbing.

Hidden Figures (PG) ●●●●

Director Theodore Melfi gives remarkable women Katherine G. Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson ( Janelle Monae) their wellearned moment in the spotlight.

The trio of African-American mathematicians played a crucial role at NASA during the early years of the US space programme.

Melfi effectively portrays the racial tensions of the era and there are plenty of fist-pumping moments as the lead trio fight for their beliefs. All three play off each other well but it’s Henson who stands out the most, not least with her powerhouse speech about her treatment to her NASA colleagues.

But although hugely uplifting, the film is lacking in true dramatic heft.
