US (15) ★★★★★
HOME invasion thriller from writer-director Jordan Peele, who won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for his 2017 film Get Out. Adelaide Wilson (Lupita Nyong’o) is a fiercely protective mother to two children, Zora (Shahadi Wright Joseph) and Jason (Evan Alex pictured with Nyong’o and Wright Joseph). She travels with husband Gabe (Winston Duke) and the kids to their beach house to see friends Josh and Kitty Tyler (Tim Heidecker, Elisabeth Moss) and their daughters (Cali and Noelle Sheldon). One night, Jason interrupts his mother with disturbing news: “There’s a family in our driveway.” ■ Download/stream from tomorrow and available from July 29 on DVD/Blu-ray.
THE WHITE CROW (12) ★★★★★
HANDSOMELY crafted biographical drama. In 1961, Rudolf Nureyev (Oleg Iven ko, pictured) travels to Paris with the Kirov Ballet. Security is tight, but Nureyev defies the edicts of his KGB handlers to savour the delights of the capital in the company of French dancer Pierre Lacotte (Raphael Personnaz) and his friend Clara Saint (Adele Exarchopoulos). By chance, Clara is a close acquaintance of the French minister of cultural affairs, who could oil bureaucratic cogs and facilitate a claim for political asylum. In a tense finale at Le Bourget Airport, Nureyev attempts to slip from the grasp of his minders.
