SECONDSCREEN

Almereyda’s thought-provoking picture Marjorie Prime (12A) is well acted by a cast that includes John Hamm, Tim Robbins and Geena Davis.

Kaleidoscope (15) is a lowbudget psychological thriller that should be compulsory viewing for film students, showing what can be achieved with good actors (Toby Jones and Anne Reid) and a decent script.

I spent the first 90 minutes of Only The Brave (12A) thinking this depiction of a team of Arizona forestfire-fighters was way too American for viewers on this side of the Atlantic. I spent the harrowing last 30 minutes feeling ashamed of myself.
