SCREEN BREAK

FIVE FILMS TO RENT, BUY OR STREAM

- With STUART CHANDLER

Baby Done (15)

Baby Done is an amusing portrait of modern parenthood distinguis­hed by Edinburgh Comedy Award-winning stand-up Rose Matafeo’s heartfelt central performanc­e as a dismissive mother-to-be, who intends to spend her final weeks before delivery doing bungee jumps and clambering up trees. Available to rent.

The King Of Staten Island (2020 Sky 15)

Judd Apatow goes for the heart in this semiautobi­ographical tale of Saturday Night Live’s Pete Davidson. Scott has been a case of arrested developmen­t since his firefighte­r father died in the 9/11 attacks when he was seven. Now change is coming. On Sky Cinema.

Soul (PG)

Soul is a wildly imaginativ­e and deeply moving meditation on humanity from the computer animation wizards at Pixar, which tackles abstract concepts – mortality, depression, grief, alienation – with a playful sense of humour.

Streaming exclusivel­y on Disney+ now.

Wonder Woman 1984 (12A)

Patty Jenkins returns to the director’s chair for the eagerlyawa­ited sequel to the highest grossing film of all time solely helmed by a woman. As the title suggests, Wonder Woman 1984 is set during the final stretch of the Cold War when tensions remain high between America and the Soviet Union. On Premium VOD.

Greed (2019, Sky 15)

Steve Coogan partners up once again with Michael Winterbott­om (The Trip series, 24 Hour Party People) for a thinly-veiled satire on the super-rich. Coogan stars as retail billionair­e Sire Richard McCreadie.
