YOU SHOULD HAVE LEFT (18) ✩✩✩ ★★
THIS creepy psychological horror is at its strongest when allowing Kevin Bacon and Amanda Seyfried, above, to bicker and simmer in a fractious mood of marital mistrust and sexual insecurity. But it loses its menacing allure when they’re forced apart by a script that can’t disguise its intentions.
This is surprising as director David Koepp’s writing pedigree includes blockbusters such as Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible and Spider-Man. However, he establishes a strong look and tone, and gives us, for the first half at least, plenty to ponder as he sends his stars to a remote Welsh house for a nightmare holiday.

FINDING THE WAY BACK (15) ✩✩✩ ★★
BEN AFFLECK, above left, stars in this redemptive sports drama as an alcoholic construction worker called Jack who’s persuaded by his former high school to coach its basketball team. I’m a big fan of the former Batman, who has famously had his own struggles with the bottle, and though it’s unwise to read too much biography into the film, there’s an emotional honesty and intensity to his performance which elevates this otherwise straightforward affair.
Melvin Gregg and Brandon Wilson are great as players on the team, and there’s strong support from Michaela Watkins.

PIRATE animation for the little ones as the Capt’n and his crew set sail for an adventure where they learn being a good friend is more important than being a fearsome pirate.
