(2020) ✰✰✰✰ (Sky Cinema Premiere, 11.30am & 9.00pm) The multi-talented writer-director Emerald Fennell (who also starred as Camilla in The Crown) has made quite a splash with her debut feature – it’s nominated for five Oscars, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Actress for leading lady Carey Mulligan. The dark comedy thriller focuses on Cassie (Mulligan), who dropped out of medical school following a traumatic incident. Now, she leads a double life, which involves hanging around bars at night, looking like she’s drunk and vulnerable, and waiting to see who approaches her… It doesn’t make for easy viewing, but it’s definitely fascinating, ambitious and timely, and confirms Fennell as a real talent to watch.

Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling) is a key participant in the space race between America and the Soviet Union during the 1960s. He forges a close working relationship with Nasa chief Deke Slayton (Kyle Chandler) and fellow astronaut Ed White (Jason Clarke), who becomes the first American to walk in space. However, tragedy casts a long shadow over Neil and his wife Janet (Claire Foy) as the couple struggle to cope with the death of their young daughter Karen. The biopic of the first man on the moon was originally set to be directed by Clint Eastwood, but Damien Chazelle eventually did the honours, adding another masterpiece to his already impressive CV, which also includes La La Land and Whiplash.
