CRITICS’ CHOICES

WHAT TO SEE THIS WEEK

Film Lean on Pete

Britain’s Andrew Haigh swaps the mist-swathed Norfolk Broads of 45 Years for the even broader American west in this wistful, piercing drama about a drifting teen who finds purpose on the horse racing circuit. It boasts a star-making performance from Charlie Plummer ( All the Money in the World), and a sense of place so vivid you can feel the sun beat down on your neck. Robbie Collin 15 cert, 122 min

Theatre Nine Night

Hugely promising, timely debut from Natasha Gordon about a family mourning a Windrush-generation mother. Tensions simmer as relatives of the deceased gather to observe the Jamaican tradition of “nine-night”, a wake that can culminate in a spirit bidding its farewell. Dominic Cavendish National’s Dorfman Theatre, London SE1 (020 7452 3000), until May 26

Pop Florence and the Machine

Florence Welch returns for a handful of shows, warming up for the release of her fourth album, High as Hope, which is due out next month. If new single Sky Full of Song is anything to go by, fans can expect something more intimate, organic and uncharacteristically restrained than Welch’s previous offerings. Neil McCormick Baths Hall, Scunthorpe (0844 854 2776), tonight, and touring

Exhibitions Rodin and the Art of Ancient Greece

This exhibition has all the makings of the ultimate sculptural showdown. In one corner, the first great sculptor of the modern era. In the other, the British Museum’s own Parthenon Marbles – perhaps the zenith of classical sculpture – which Rodin first encountered on a visit here in 1881. Mark Hudson British Museum, London WC1 (020 7323 8000), until July 29
