Starring: Patricia Clarkson, Bruno Ganz, Cherry Jones, Emily Mortimer, Cillian Murphy, Kristin Scott Thomas, Timothy Spall. UK 2017. 71 mins.
Janet (Scott Thomas) has just been appointed to a key ministerial position in the shadow cabinet – the crowning achievement of her political career. She and her husband Bill (Spall) plan to celebrate this with a few close friends. As the guests arrive at their home in London, the party takes an unexpected turn when Bill suddenly makes some explosive revelations that take everyone present by surprise. What follows is a hilarious comedy of tragic proportions in which love, friendships and political convictions are soon called into question. From acclaimed British filmmaker Sally Potter, The Party is a smart, fast-paced film full of razor-sharp one-liners that perfectly suits these turbulent times.

Director: Tomas Alfredson.
Starring: Michael Fassbender, Rebecca Ferguson, J. K. Simmons, Charlotte Gainsbourg. USA/UK/Sweden 2017. 119 mins.
Swedish director Tomas Alfredson doesn’t often grace the big screen but his efforts are always exceptional. After his 2008 breakout, the atmospherically stunning Let The Right One In, we had to wait until 2011 for the superlative Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Now we’re blessed with a tense murder-mystery penned by Nordic noir’s greatest storyteller, Joe Nesbø. Alfredson has enrolled a stellar cast to tell the tale, with Michael Fassbender as Nesbø’s regular sleuth, Harry Hole, whose missing-person investigation turns into a hunt for a creepy serial killer whose calling card is – you guessed it – an ominous-looking snowman left at the crime scene. With the help of a brilliant new recruit, Katrine Bratt (Ferguson), Hole must outwit this unthinkable evil before the next snowfall. Others implicated in a particularly gruesome plot include Charlotte Gainsbourg, J. K. Simmons and Toby Jones.

Director: Denis Villeneuve.
Starring: Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling, Ana de Armas, Jared Leto. USA 2017. 163 mins.
One of the decade’s most anticipated films, the sequel to Ridley Scott’s seminal 1982 neo-noir, Blade Runner, is finally upon us. Scott himself returns as producer, freeing up the director’s chair for the supremely talented Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, Sicario), while Harrison Ford reprises his role as Rick Deckard. In 2049, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Gosling), uncovers a terrible secret that could throw what’s left of an already broken society into terminal chaos. His discovery leads him on a quest to find former replicant hunter Deckard, who has been missing for 30 years. In true Blade Runner style, K wants to ask him some questions – the answers to which may have a lot to do with a chilling creator of ‘disposable workforces’, Niander Wallace (Leto).

Director: Destin Daniel Cretton.
Starring: Brie Larson, Woody Harrelson, Naomi Watts. USA 2017. 127 mins.
Reunited with Oscar-winner Brie Larson, writer/director Destin Daniel Cretton (Short Term 12) crafts a compelling adaptation of Jeannette Walls’s bestselling memoir about the wild life she and her three sisters alternately enjoyed and endured in a bohemian household during the 1980s. A superlative Woody Harrelson and a formidable Naomi Watts play her impulsive, often irresponsible parents living in poverty on Manhattan’s Lower East Side; Larson stars as steely journalist Jeanette, who recalls her upbringing in which she eventually found the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms. In this remarkable story of unconditional love in a family at once dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant, Cretton depicts the conflicts and free-spirited surges without judgement, while the performances are fantastic, especially from Harrelson as the gifted but troubled father.

Director: Maysaloun Hamoud.
Starring: Mouna Hawa, Sana Jammelieh, Shaden Kanboura. Israel/France 2016. 103 mins. Hebrew/Arabic with English subtitles.
Told through the wry, amusing exploits of three young women, this stunning award-winning debut by young Palestinian writer/director Maysaloun Hamoud peels back the layers of an Arab-Israeli underground culture. The strikingly beautiful Leila (Hawa) – lawyer by day, wild libertine by night – flat-shares with the tattooed, nose-ringed lesbian Salma (Jammelieh), and the pair enjoy flirtations and more with little regard for the social or familial consequences. When the far more pious Nour (Kanboura) rents their spare room, the three very different women find themselves caught in the same balancing act between tradition and modernity.

Director: Matthew Vaughn.
Starring: Colin Firth, Taron Egerton, Julianne Moore. UK/USA 2017. 141 mins.
Three years ago Kingsman: Secret Service, a spy action-comedy about ‘Kingsman’, an independent, international intelligence agency was a smash hit, raking in over $414 million at the global box office. In this sequel, again written/directed by Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class), special agent ‘Eggsy’ (Egerton), the council estate kid, chosen as a recruit for this mysterious organisation, is reunited with his pin-striped mentor (Firth) and they head over the Pond to meet their opposite numbers at ‘Statesman’. A spangly cast includes Halle Berry, Channing Tatum, Mark Strong, Jeff Bridges and Elton John while Oscar-winner Julianne Moore gets to flex her baddie muscles as Poppy, a notorious criminal mastermind, whose personal bodyguard is the inimitable Vinnie Jones. Once again the agents’ wits and nerve are tested to the limit in this cheeky, ever-so-British, pastiche-Bond caper.

As they begin working closely together during lambing season, an intense relationship forms – one that could change Johnny’s life forever. Captivating and broodingly beautiful, God’s Own Country is the award-winning debut feature from writer-director Francis Lee.

Director: Taika Waititi.
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Cate Blanchett, Tom Hiddleston, Mark Ruffalo. USA 2017. 130 mins.
The latest adventure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe begins with Thor (Hemsworth) in an almighty intergalactic pickle. He’s broken his hammer, he’s stuck in prison on the far side of the universe, and the goddess of death, Hela (Blanchett), is about to unleash Ragnarok, the annihilation of Asgardian civilisation. Not cool. The problems don’t stop there, either: to get home in time, Thor must win a gladiatorial duel against fellow Avenger and “friend from work”, the Hulk (Ruffalo). Director Taika Waititi (What We Do In The Shadows, Hunt For The Wilderpeople) has been given ample creative freedom for his MCU debut, so audiences can expect plenty of laughs to go with the action. As Thor’s mischievous adopted brother Loki (Hiddleston) puts it: “This will be such fun.”

Director: Armando Iannucci.
Starring: Steve Buscemi, Jeffrey Tambor, Simon Russell Beale, Michael Palin, Jason Isaacs, Andrea Riseborough, Rupert Friend. France/UK 2017. 107 mins.
The internal political landscape of 1950s Soviet Russia takes on darkly comic form in a new film by Oscar-nominated writer/director Armando Iannucci (Veep, In The Loop, The Thick Of It). In the days following Stalin’s collapse, the machinations of senior party officials and courtiers kick into overdrive. Some want positive change in the Soviet Union; others have more sinister motives. But behind all the collusion, backstabbing and strong-arming, the jostling ministers have one thing in common – they’re just desperate to stay alive. Based on the graphic novel by French writer Fabian Nury, Iannucci’s script is loaded with acerbic, politically incorrect conversation, which is delivered by some of the finest and funniest character actors from both sides of the pond.

Directors: Charlie Bean, Paul Fisher, Bob Logan.
Voices: Dave Franco, Justin Theroux, Jackie Chan. USA 2017. 101 mins.
This latest chapter in the wildly popular children’s fantasy world of animated bricks is based on the ninja-themed set of LEGO toys. The film follows young Lloyd, aka Green Ninja (voiced by Dave Franco) who leads a secret, night-time band of ninja warriors to combat the wicked Lord Garmadon (Theroux) who is threatening Ninjago City. The warriors are just ordinary teenagers by day who have been trained in the art of ninja by Master Wu (martial arts legend Jackie Chan). There are further dastardly complications in that Wu is Garmadon’s brother and Lloyd is his son. Written and directed by a trio of animation doyens whose credits include Tron, Madagascar and How To Train Your Dragon, the action and storytelling as the moral and physical battles build to a devastating climax will delight LEGO-loving audiences of all ages.
