Civil War
Kirsten Dunst, Cailee Spaeny, Wagner Moura, Nick Offerman
Alex Garland’s latest film Civil War imagines a dystopian near future where California and Texas have seceded from the United States of America. It is told through the eyes of military-embedded photojournalists Lee (Kirsten Dunst), Joel (Wagner Moura), Jessie (Cailee Spaeny) and Sammy (Stephen McKinley Henderson), who travel from New York to Washington D.C. to reach the White House before the Western Forces. Garland gives us very little context about the situation we are thrusted into. There is some information at the start but it’s covered too quickly and never brought up again....

Back to Black
Marisa Abela, Eddie Marsan, Lesley Manville, Jack O'Connell
The Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black has been heavily criticised and ridiculed in the lead-up to its release.

This puts him in the crosshairs of the city’s elite at a luxury club, where he works as a waiter. Yes, the plot of Monkey Man is unoriginal and simple, but it makes up for this in the execution.

The First Omen
Bill Nighy, Ralph Ineson, Nell Tiger Free
After 18 years, The Omen franchise has been revived with a prequel to the 1976 original. This supernatural thriller, set in 1971, follows Margaret (Nell Tiger Free), an American woman who moves to Rome to become a nun. During her time working at an orphanage, she discovers a sinister conspiracy to bring about the birth of the Antichrist. You can go a while without a nun-based horror and two come along at the same time – The First Omen will obviously be compared to Sydney Sweeney’s Immaculate, which came out a few weeks ago. They both follow American nuns (or trainee nuns) in Italy who...
