Sunset Song

Terence Davies’ Scottish hymnal is far too languid and consumed by its own importance. Lovely to look at, but otherwise weightless.

Allied

Brad Pitt smoulders while shooting Nazis. Marion Cotillard gives birth during an air raid. Robert Zemeckis loses touch with reality. Watch Casablanca, instead.

The Neon Demon

Gloss, artifice and ruthlessne­ss from Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn. A failure, but a spectacula­r one.

The Founder

A two-hour advertisem­ent for a burger joint that loves its thieving hero too much. Greed is good? No, grease is good.

War on Everyone

A wretched mess of a buddy-cop comedy. Every constituen­t element is present – script, character, theme – but the timing is all askew.

Nocturnal Animals

Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal star in Tom Ford’s richly visceral second feature.

Julieta

Guilt, anger and emotional paralysis are explored in Pedro Almodóvar’s time-jumping domestic drama.

Arrival

Amy Adams decodes extraterre­strial language in this ambitious and astonishin­g sci-fi.

The Accountant

The Light Between Oceans

Doctor Strange

Ouija: Origin of Evil
