The pick of the week’s films on Sky, Virgin & other platforms

ANOTHER MOTHER’S SON

Set on Jersey during the German occupation of the Channel Islands, this wartime drama is a tale of real-life heroism that has no truck with melodramatic bravado. Jenny Seagrove plays a shopkeeper who shelters a young Russian prisoner of war (Julian Kostov). (12,103min)

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Blending CGI razzle-dazzle with Broadway pizzazz, Disney has given its beloved 1991 animated movie a glossy live-action remake. Emma Watson gives plucky heroine Belle more than a touch of Hogwarts’ bookworm Hermione, while Dan Stevens is suitably gruff as spellbound Beast. The film ramps up the spectacle at every opportunity, delivering the tale with unblushing gusto. (Pg,129min)

ELLE

Isabelle Huppert’s cool reserve is put to riveting use in this morally ambiguous psychological thriller from Basic Instinct director

Paul Verhoeven. Her Parisian businesswoman is raped in her home in the film’s deeply upsetting opening scene, and she then sets about identifying her attacker. Attempting to puzzle out Huppert’s enigmatic character is utterly compelling. Subtitled. (18,131min)

GET OUT

PREMIERE (Available from Mon) Daniel Kaluuya’s young African-American photographer is already on edge when he pays his first visit to the swanky family home of his white girlfriend (Allison Williams), but he has no idea quite how unsettling the weekend will turn out to be. This deeply creepy horror thriller pushes racially sensitive buttons with fiendish skill and darkly comic wit, and throws in some jolting scares. (15,104min)

HIDDEN FIGURES

Set in the early-1960s at the height of the space race and of segregation, this rousing biopic salutes the achievements of three African-american women who worked at Nasa as ‘human computers’, doing the sums before electronic machines were up to the task. Taraji P Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monáe deliver immensely winning performances as the trio. (Pg,127min)
