this welcome to the film review on bbc news. and taking us through this week's releases is who else but mark kermode? mark, what have you got for us this week? a very interesting week. we have paddington 2, which you cannot have missed the adverts for. we have the florida project, a new film by sean baker. and professor marston and the wonder women. so paddington 2, what a great british cast. is the first paddington was really lovely and charming. it really surprised everybody. was there any possibility that paddington 2 could live up to it? i went in thinking it can't. it does. it is lovely and charming. the story is, paddington wants to buy a present for his great aunt lucy's birthday. there is a pop—up book of london he wants, but it is really expensive and he cannot afford it. the book goes missing and the finger or paw of suspicion points at paddington. next thing, he is wrongly behind bars. here's a clip.

in the past month, these three shadowy individuals have all been seen snooping around three london landmarks. we think the thief you saw is part of a criminal gang, using the pop—up book as a treasure map. well, it's a theory. have you found out who they are? not yet. maybe i should have a look. i'm sorry, this is a private conversation. it's all right, mr brown. this is my friend, knuckles. and this is fibs, spoon, jimmy the snitch, t—bone, the professor, squeaky pete, double—bass bob, farmerjack, mad dog, johnny cashpoint, sirjeffrey wilcox... i hope i can rely on your vote. and charlie rumble. it's so wonderful to meet you all. it's a relief that paddington has made such sweet friends. would you excuse us for a moment? what are you doing? talking to the nice men. nice men!? we can't trust these people.

look at them, talk about a rogues' gallery, hideous. as for that bearded baboon, he hasn't got two brain cells to rub together. we can still hear you, mr brown. that was the light you turned off. the microphone is on the other side. it's got "microphone" written on it. you laughed at least four times in that clip! because it's funny! before we went on air, you said is itjust a family film, in a way that sort of implied that "just" a family film was... the thing is, making a great family film is really hard. it made me laugh, and i'm 5a. it will delight the kids because the character of paddington is so beautifully realised. ben whishaw‘s voice is perfect. there is a mixture of childish and old beyond the years. there are lots of slapstick sequences. paddington is trying to raise money for the book. he gets a job in a barber shop and it goes horribly wrong,

involving an overhead fan. there are action sequences that are generally thrilling and seem to put paddington in peril. you don't notice the interaction between the cg and the physical world. it was not until the end of the film that i thought they blended it really well. i never thought about paddington being a cg creation. i think making a really good family film is really hard and i thought this was really charming. the fact that it was the second one, i expected the law of diminishing returns to kick in. it didn't. the bit where you see the different characters coming in, i think it is really, really funny. i think you would really like it. i suppose what i meant was, it's a film you would take the kids to, but if you aren't taking the kids? go on your own. the radio five show that i do with simon mayo, we had so many people writing in for the first film saying, i don't have kids, but i want to go and see paddington. is it fine? yeah, believe me, the cinema will be full of adults going.

it's what a family film used to be. it is for all ages and i think anyone with a heart and soul can enjoy it. looking forward to it. the florida project, rather different. tipped for oscars? i loved this. the name comes from the name that walt disney developed his community of tomorrow in florida, which then became walt disney world. it's a community of people living in more rundown motels beyond the boundary of the theme park. the motels are called things like the magic castle, but they are essentially rundown hotels where people live on the poverty line. all the purple paint in the world cannot hide the fact that they are in the red. the central character is 6—year—old moony, who runs riot around the hotel while her mother struggles to make ends meet, much to the disdain of bobby, the hotel manager, played by willem dafoe. this film portrays a harsh world of economic reality, but you see it from the kid's eyes. sean baker's previous film, tangerine, was shot on an iphone. this was shot on a combination of digital and 35 mil. it looks beautiful because we see the wonder that the kids see.

you see the strange buildings, the orange of orange world, the strange wizard of the souvenir shop. also, these weird breakout bits of grass, and trees, and cows which you don't expect right next to the concrete jungle. you get right into the lives of these people. baker described it as a modern day our gang. it's the idea that the kids are living in poverty in hard circumstances, but you're seeing the world through their eyes. there is hardship. there are real tears in this but, as a portrayal of an innocent view of the world that's also very streetwise and sassy, it is terrific. he never feels like a tourist in this environment. i thought it was touching and moving. it will move you to tears. it will make you laugh. it starts with celebration by kool and the gang. that kind of tells you... but it is also an ironic use of that phrase, the florida project, which is about the community of tomorrow.

well, this is a community of today. it has its feet on the ground, but its head in the air. film three is really intriguing, professor marston and the wonder women. it is all about the creator of the comic book character wonder woman. we already have the wonder woman movie, which was a record—breaking hit, directed by pattyjenkins. now writer and director angela robinson goes back to the creation of the character. we have the professor of the title, played by luke evans. we have his smarter, sharper wife, brilliantly played by rebecca hall and bella heathcote's olive byrne. between them, they invent the lie detector, they start a nonconformist family unit and they come up with the strange, fetishy comic book character who will go on to make millions. here is a clip. a comic book? it's perfect. i'll inject my ideas right into the thumping heart of america. i'll get a real artist to draw it properly. she's an amazon princess who lives on an island of all women? paradise island. and a man crashes onto the island.

yes, the spy. and she wears a burlesque outfit. it's athletic. and silver bracelets. they deflect bullets. what! ? we love you so much, but nobody, and i say this with all the compassion and truth in my heart, nobody will ever publish this. the story flips backwards and forwards. it starts with the child association of america's investigation into this comic strip. they say, this is full of spanking and sex perversions and bondage. explain yourself. and the rest of the film is explaining it. it looks back at where this character came from, about the alternative family unit, about the way these people become involved in role—playing and s&m. he is a psychologist who thinks everything comes down to disc theory —

dominance, inducement, submission, compliance. the women take him with a pinch of salt. they think he's only partly serious. but it becomes a portrait of tolerance in intolerant times. at one point rebecca hall's character says, we cannot be in love because the world won't let us. he says, we have to be what we want to be. it's a celebration of alternative lifestyles. it is a film about tolerance, it is funny and charming. i didn't know any of this stuff at all. it makes a very interesting double bill with wonder woman, who has become such a huge box office success. i thought it was really well done and i really enjoyed it. it has been a really good week, you can tell. it is, you love everything. best out at the moment? killing of a sacred deer. this is the yorgos lanthimos film and it's very hard to describe. it starts out as a jet—black comedy and then turns really sinister. it takes a greek tale of revenge and takes it forward from ancient greece to 21st—century cinema screens. it starts in that yorgos lanthimos way, being strange and off—kilter and then it moves into horror film territory.

i have to say, it is not for everyone. it is a marmite film. if you lose patience with it, you will lose it big time. i really liked it. i felt really u nco mforta ble all the way through. i couldn't quite get the measure of it. and like mother!, i thought it was really well done. it has haunted me and stayed with me. 0k! you're not convinced? i don't think you've convinced anyone with that! best dvd? sorcerer. a0 years ago, this film tanked. this is a remake of wages of fear. it came back to cinemas and is still playing in some cinemas in the uk. it is an extraordinary movie. it is gruelling, muscular, visceral, really tense. it is a story about trucks filled with very volatile nitroglycerin being driven across treacherous terrain. it has a now celebrated rope bridge sequence. it is one of the tensest things i've ever seen.

it has a score by tangerine dream. a0 years ago, it opened head—to—head with star wars and star wars won. people wanted to see light sabres and rocket ships and all that stuff. this was a really tough movie. a0 years later, it's recognised as the masterpiece it always was. it is a work of art. i guarantee you, you will be gripped from beginning to end. you had me at a score by tangerine dream! once an old prog, always an old prog. mark, thank you very much. 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 find all our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that's it for this week. thank you very much for watching. goodbye from us. for most, sunday was a glorious day with plenty

of sunshine, but it was cold. windy as well, particularly down the east coast. plenty of showers here too. some of these will continue overnight, some on the heavy side. but they become more confined to the north sea coast of england and elsewhere, turning much drier and colder than the previous night. a widespread frost developing in rural places. there is something a little less cold pushing into the north—west of the uk by the end of the night as a weather system pushes in, bringing increasing cloud and outbreaks of rain. we start monday morning on a cold and frosty night. lots of sunshine, though. you can still see the blue hue, so some places will be freezing or below at eight in the morning. we see blustery conditions across eastern coastal areas, particularly from lincolnshire towards east anglia. for much of northern ireland, northern england and scotland, it's also a cold start with increasing wind

across western scotland, and outbreaks of rain pushing into the western isles. this weather system will move eastwards during the day, bringing rain and some hill snow. we could even see snow at lower levels across central and eastern parts of scotland for a time before it all turns back to rain as the milder air moves in. for northern ireland, it will turn cloudy, with outbreaks of rain. elsewhere, a fine day, but the sunshine will gradually turn hazier and it will be another cold one. through monday night, this weather system continues to advance eastwards, bringing stronger winds and outbreaks of rain to much of the country, but also milder air. we will lose the cold air as that weather system moves in. i say most of the country, because the far north of scotland a continues to be affected by the cooler air stream. there will be rain, particularly across western hills.

wednesday and thursday are also rather cloudy. the best of the sunshine will be across northern parts of the uk. thursday looks like the mildest day across the whole of the uk. quite a mixture this week. we start off with a cold and frosty start with some sunshine, turning milder and cloudy for a time with outbreaks of rain, and then signs of it turning colder by the end of the week. this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. the headlines at eight: nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, the british—iranian woman jailed in iran for spying, is on the verge of a nervous breakdown, according to her husband. in a telephone conversation with boris johnson that he called positive, he said the foreign secretary expressed deep sorrow for her suffering, but this evening the row over the government's handling of the case continues. the deputy prime minister, damian green, insists police never told him about pornography allegedly

found on his computers. he says the allegations have an ulterior motive. as the us continues military exercises in the pacific intended as a show of strength towards north korea, president trump continues the war of words with kim jong un. also today, the queen attends a remembrance day service in london, watching from a balcony in whitehall.
