FIVE BEST FILMS
An Education, 12A
Carey Mulligan, Peter Sarsgaard and Alfred Molina star in this adaptation of a Lynn Barber essay from Granta magazine about the relationship between a precociously clever 16-year-old and an older man in the Sixties.
Nationwide
Bright Star. PG
Jane Campion’s film is a wistful and melancholic account of the unconsummated romance between the poet John Keats and his neighbour Fanny Brawne. Ben Whishaw and Abbie Cornish star.
Nationwide
Fish Tank, 15
In her first film, Katie Jarvis gives a fabulously sullen performance as Mia, a hostile teenager stuck in high-rise, low-income Britain. She lends a human vitality to a film of bleak, impersonal spaces.
Nationwide
Citizen Kane, U
Orson Welles's masterpiece looks even better in this cleaned-up digital print, which shows off the wonderful clarity and detail of Gregg Toland's 'deep focus' camerawork, bolstering the complexities of the story with new layers of feeling.
Limited release
Up, U
Pixar’s latest animation is imbued with texture, detail, warm humour and physics-defying action sequences, and has a genuinely touching story about old age and new beginnings.
