and we're going to do that. more money in the budget? that is for the chancellor and the prime minister. look at what the prime minister said this week, this is an area where there is pressure and if we're going to have a solution, it has to be a long—term sustainable solution and not a quick fix. secretary of state, thank you very much. this is bbc news at five — the headlines: the investigation into the alleged abuse of iraqi civilians by british soldiers will be closed after a report by mps branded it an unmitigated failure. jeremy hunt concedes the problems facing the nhs are completely unacceptable, but says there is a plan to help hospitals cope. president trump's tussle with the judiciary continues after an appeals

the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so mark, what do we have this week? we have the 20th century women, i new film starring annette bening. we have the lego batman movie, which says what it does on the tin. and fences, a major awards contender. let's start with 20th century women from mike mills. it is an interesting film, set in california. young boy facing an uncertain adulthood, surrounded by strong women of different ages, who both inspire and also confound, not least

his free—spirited mother, brilliantly played by annette bening. here is a clip. stop. what? thinking that you know everything that's going on. no, ijust think that, you know, having your heart broken is a tremendous way to learn about the world. 0k. do you think you're happy? like... ..as happy as you thought you'd be when you were my age? seriously? you don't ask people questions like that. you're my mom. especially your mom. wondering if you're happy is a great shortcut tojust being depressed. give me that. i already love it, just from that.|j

haven't i already love it, just from that.” haven't seen it yet. you are right to do so. it is the horrific film. it has terrific performances, partly because they had time to rehearse i get to know the characters. these are characters you want to spend time in the company. we want to show how their lives work—out. you want to know about their lives. the film has texture, you feel like at any point the camera could go out of the car, out of the house and into the street and the world would be com plete street and the world would be complete around it. it evokes a world that is in many ways, lost. it is back to time that now seem so distant, but the issues it deals with is contemporary. it is not plot driven, it is to do with moments, conversations and relationships. the narrative flips back and forward to some extent. i thought it was terrific. i started watching it,

some extent. i thought it was terrific. istarted watching it, i knew nothing of what to expect, other than it had a great cast. i was drawn into their world and their characters. i loved it, i can't wait to see it again, you will love it. will it be disparagingly called women's film? i don't know what that means. it used to be a term that was use for popular movies. because females were the majority of the audiences. what they meant was something would be successful and a blockbuster. i hope it is the case. anybody could see 20th—century women and get something out of it, it is the rhetoric. same is true of the lego batman movie. have you seen it?” same is true of the lego batman movie. have you seen it? i am afraid i didn't. it was great. it sounded like a stupid idea but it turned out to be very smart and inventive. what age group? all age groups, i am in my 50s and i laughed all the way through. it is about lego batman, a

narcissist, and he has to learn to have relationships with people, with robin, his butler, and thejoker, who is desperate for him to admit he isa who is desperate for him to admit he is a special billing and they have a special relationship. and what is great, the visuals are terrific, it is incredibly kinetic. i wanted to hold the frame and say stop, there are so many hold the frame and say stop, there are so manyjokes in this one frame, they are going pass so fast. it is great for all ages, it is funny. loads of exciting stuff happening on the screen. there are jokes about the screen. there are jokes about the 60s batman and the christopher nolan batman. you need to see the lego movie, because that is terrific and better than this.” lego movie, because that is terrific and better than this. i have a busy weekend ahead of me. the lego batman movie is tiptop stuff and doesn't let the side down. i am already feeling overwhelmed. let's talk about fences.”

let's talk about fences. i have seen the film and now i feel i want to see the play. denzel washington stars and directs it. troy is a blue—collar worker and brings home his frustrations from his work, from his frustrations from his work, from his life. they all come out in the home encounters. the film has got four 0scar nominations including best supporting actress and here is why. i'm not talking about no baseball. you're not listening to me, i'm trying to explain it to you the best way i know how. it's not easy for me to admit i've been standing in the same place for 18 years. well i've been standing with you! i've been right here with you, troy. i've had a life too. i've had 18 years of my life just standing in the same spot as you. don't you think i've ever wanted other things? don't you think i had dreams and hopes? what about my life, what about me? great performances. you have seen

the play. so powerful, the play. the film feels very staged. there are plays that have been adapted for the screen and they feel cinematic. this feels like something that has taken the stage play and filmed it. there are slight differences, but it never felt like a cinematic endeavour. it felt like a cinematic endeavour. it felt like a cinematic endeavour. it felt like great writing, relevant issues. the horrific, committed performances. but it didn't take flight performances. but it didn't take flight as a piece of film—making. that is a problem because if you ta ke that is a problem because if you take a stage play away from the stage and put it somewhere else, you have to to do something to it. you really feel you wish you were seeing it live on stage, particularly with the larger speeches. it felt like a theatrical production as opposed to a cinematic production. the

screenplay was written by august wilson before he died, a great playwright. it is different writing for the screen and it is a craft?m is different directing that work for the screen. the classic screen adaptation of plays, they understand the language of cinema. this is clearly a huge reverence from the stage play, and understandably so. i just don't think it is as cinematic as it needs to be. despite the fact it is great writing, solid performances and great individual moments, but as a piece of cinema, doesn't fly. we are coming up to the ba ftas, doesn't fly. we are coming up to the baftas, so he might win awards for the acting? my feeling is that is where its heart resides, they are terrific performances. it feels theatrical to me. the best thing out in the cinema at the moment, is toni erdman. he is terrific, it sounds

unlikely, a three—hour german black comedy, written and directed and a standout performance about father, daughter estrangement. a father turns up at his daughter's place of work pretending to be a life coach, and she cannot get rid of him. it is funny and poignant. it is about to be remade starring jack nicholson. why? it is perfect as it is, it doesn't need remaking, you will love the original. i have seen the trailer and the trailer itself is interminable. does it need to be three hours? i am somebody who believes in cutting to the bone, less is more, but in the case of toni erdman, iwould not take anything out. it is that good. don't be put off by the trailer.” anything out. it is that good. don't be put off by the trailer. i was. don't be, it is not a great trailer.

0k, only because you have told me. tell us about the dvd. the unknown girl. i young tell us about the dvd. the unknown girl. iyoung doctor who tell us about the dvd. the unknown girl. i young doctor who fails to open the door to a potential patient is then found dead. she has a crisis of conscience and try to find out who she is. it was a film, when it was in the cinema, got lukewarm reviews. the best thing about dvds, you can reassess things that was overlooked the first time. it is a thriller, but it has a humanist heart and is well worth seeing.” don't know it, but that is a good recommendation. mark, thank you very much indeed. a quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/markkermode. and you can catch up with our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. and we mentioned the baftas, let's

find out who wins what on sunday. full coverage from bbc news on the red carpet. that's it for this week though. goodbye. it isa it is a perfect weekend for watching a movie because it is going to be cold and miserable. this picture from northumberland says it all, grey clouds, a dusting of snow and bitterly cold. plenty of sleet and snow showers around and they will become more frequent and they will fall us know through the night across eastern england. elsewhere, there will be clearer skies and the frost through scotland and northern ireland, west wales and the south—west of england. grey and cold start and bow showers will continue to bea start and bow showers will continue to be a nuisance. they will filter a

little bit further west as far as east wales and down in the summer set as well. the best of any brightness into the extreme north—west but temperatures will struggle. a lot of cloud around for sunday. the snow eases, but there will be some rain showers and it will be some rain showers and it will feel bitterly cold when you factor in the strength of the north—east wind. the health secretary admits waiting times in a and e in hospitals in england are completely unacceptable. figures show patients are waiting longer than at any time in the last ten years. that kind of care is completely unacceptable. no one would want it for members of their own family. and new figures today reveal the number of cancelled operations last year was the highest in fifteen years. also tonight... a discredited government investigation into thousands of allegations of abuse by iraq war veterans is shut down. this will be a huge relief

to hundreds of british troops who have had these quite unfair allegations hanging over them, they're now being freed of that. a court in the us refuses to reinstate donald trump's travel ban on travellers from seven mainly muslim countries.
