jamie bell's character, a twentysomething actor becomes infatuated in the late ‘705. he discovers they are sharing digs in this house and he is bewitched by her presence, as we all are. here is a clip. hey. you're the next—door guy, right? which makes you the girl next door. have you seen the movie saturday night fever? yeah, actually, three times. so, you like disco dancing? oh, god. i like drunk dancing. so, if i make you a drink, do you want to be my partner for my dance class? if you fetch me a drink, i will clean your bathroom. i already love it. you can see there is real chemistry between them.

the film divides its time between the story of the rise and fall of their relationship. and a few years later on, when she falls ill and calls on him to bring him back to liverpool, she feels she can get better in liverpool, it was directed with warmth and passion. paul mcguigan made a film called gangster number one at the turn of the century which was exciting. i love the slipping back and forth through time. the performances were wonderful. benning is transfixing. you believe in her as someone with a real film star past. the voice that she has adopted, the rest a touch of marilyn monroe. she was a movie star and had a movie star presence. what the film does is it makes them feel like they are genuinely in love with each other despite a very big age gap. interestingly enough,

what the film does is invert the usual age and gender relationship. it does not make a big deal out of it. there is a time when she says i want to playjuliet and he says do you mean the maid? she says to you see me as an old woman? and the lovely thing is he doesn't and editors the film and even the wii. i feel like her performance is brilliant. it is oscar time. a lot of it is to do with the attention to detail. it is really well done. if you have a period setting and people get things wrong, it takes you out. it is charming and sweet and i was moved by it. it is touching. a love story beautifully told. it reminded me of the film making of terence davies, and i don't say that lightly. ido i do not say that likely because i love him. yes. praise indeed. i think you will like it. justice league.

i know someone who wants to see this. it is big in our house. superman is dead and everyone is in mourning. batman needs a new team. they need to fight the villainous steppenwolf. aquaman, the flash, cyborg. this had a troubled history. personal tragedy meant the director had to step down and joss whedon stepped in. i think they did two months of free shoots. halfway through the reducers decided they had to make it less dark and more funny because wonder woman was doing well and dark ones were not doing well. it is a total mess. this makes batman and robin look positively shakespearean. before the screening started, i read on the internet it was two hours and 15 minutes. someone said that is a mistake. it felt like four hours. it felt like a directors cut without beautiful scenery. it has too little characters and nothing for them to do.

there is no reason to care about these indestructible people who can do anything. they can fly or at least, as they said in toy story, the full with style. amazingly, for a film with so much stuff in it, it is stunningly dull. it is really, really turgid and boring. at no point does the film making lift itself. you want to be engaged and absorbed in the fantasy and i spent the whole time thinking "are we there?" it started and then it stopped and i left. you have to wait until the end credits. there was one character i was thrilled was not in the film and at the end they were. that is two hours of your life you will never get back. would you say the same for mudbound? i liked it. a very powerful drama set in 1940s

mississippi. based on the novel by hillaryjordan. it follows two families whose lives and fortunes intertwine. one is jason mitchell. he goes off to fight in world war two. he returns to mississippi after the war to discover that nothing has changed. here is a clip. you used the back door. son, we don't want no trouble here. go on. you know what, you are right. when we were overseas, they did not make it used the back door. general patton put us on the frontline. yes, sir. do you know what we did? he kicked the hell out of hitler. you are all safe and sound because of that. what i like about this, you can tell from the scene, the tension in that scene is really, really well done.

the film covers events and actions which are really horrible and really tough. but it has a genuine poetry to it. we hear the voices of several different characters telling their story. the movie is keen to tell the story from different angles. beautifully shot by rachel morrison. she does a greatjob with the cinematography. you can feel the land and the environment and the mud of the title. the entire ensemble, not a foot is put wrong. the film manages to bring you into the world and intertwine personal and political stories about racial and economic tension, but always making it feel like it is a personal story. and it is very difficult to do that without... you know, without feeling like you are doing it. with this, you really are involved in the lives of the characters and you feel the personal and political completely intertwined. asi

as i said, it has a poetry to it. yeah, the people who say it is remarkable but actually to bleak, is that they are? i don't agree. —— too bleak, is that fair? there is genuine poetry. notjust in the lyricism of the visuals but in the way that the form is constructed. obviously i know a lot of people will sit at home with the netflix release. but i think you need to see it on the big screen if you can because it has real cinematic scope. and i don't think it is too bleak. it has hard and tenderness. —— heart. it has a poetic quality which is key to the films. interesting. see it on the big screen. if you can. and next is florida project. you will love it. have you seen this yet? i have been away. i am a bit behind, it is fair to say. a great story about a family living on the poverty line in these motels beyond the walls of disneyland. it is like east of eden.

it has naturalistic performances. the whole world is seen through the view of a six—year—old. the film manages to capture that child's prospective. yes, it is poverty in themed hotel which is now a motel for those on minimum wage. and yet, it is summer break. these children are running around and to them, it is like wonderland. the film mixes economics with a child's eyes. some people did not get it at all and i am surprised. i think it is one of the best films this year and many people feel the same way. yes. if people want to stay at home they can watch this. one of the big hits of the summer. the big sick. it is a really lovely film. it is stirring and written by kumail nanjiani. it is inspired by a real—life story of him being unable to commit to his girlfriend until a mystery

illness landed her in a medically—induced coma. it doesn't sell my perfect subject matter is a comedy. it is really funny and deals with subjects like commitment and racism and racial prejudice and arranged marriages. to do it all through these characters as well, who you get to like in love, i mean, it is genuinely laugh out loud funny. it is a movie where the comedy is born from the fact you recognise the characters and you are not living in a completely unbelievable environment. you believe in the situation they are in. i laughed all the way through but was also moved by the melancholic edge to it. it is all given another layer by the fact there is a certain amount of political licence to say it is based on a true story. —— poetic. he is telling his own story and doing it really well that is an interesting week. a really interesting week. and going now with your review ofjustice league. see you next week to be lovely to see you. apart from that, a reminder that

you will find more film reviews on the website. all previous programmes are on the iplayer. that is it for both of us this week. cold today, it will be as cold i think tomorrow because we are in for a really cold night. we have had some beautiful weather watcher shots sent in, particularly across scotland, across northern england, because further south we have been stuck under cloud but of course with no cloud in the sky by night, and the knights really are getting longer now, it will be pretty cold. temperatures just longer now, it will be pretty cold. temperaturesjust going longer now, it will be pretty cold. temperatures just going one way, down. even in the south the band of cloud and patchy rain is now starting to clear so touch and go

for frost. in these areas because we have the moisture around, we could have the moisture around, we could have a little bit of fog. it looks like a frosty start for some of us, some ice in the north first thing because of the showers coming on, but the fog is well in the south across other parts of england, wales, northern ireland a bit of an issue because it hangs around at this time of year and doesn't clear and shall midmorning but for many of us are and shall midmorning but for many of us are sparkling start of the day. if you fancy a walk with a crisp ground there because of the frost, get out and about first thing, it looks lovely. viv richards in towns and cities, above freezing but in the countryside well below. beautiful sunshine, fewer showers of scotland, worth noting for the past three days gale force winds in the northern isles, less windy tomorrow here. the wind is easing across central and eastern parts of england by cloud having cleared, it isn't too far away from the south—west and the west of wales and northern ireland, it tends to topple back in later in the day, bringing perhaps a few spots of rain but the most of the big an after dark. unfortunately

it means it will be grey and careful it means it will be grey and careful it will feel cold. cold under grey skies, cold sunshine further east, only five or six and most days it has been seven or eight but because of the chilly start we will struggle. the potential as the low pressure comes in through tomorrow evening and overnight, snow on the mountains of scotland in particular by possibly at lower levels for a time and if that coincides with the rush—hour monday, clearly it will cause concern. we don't think so at the moment but watch this space. the heavy rain in northern scotland clears away and a change of tide is becoming the monday and by that i mean we will lose the cold air across mean we will lose the cold air a cross m ost mean we will lose the cold air across most of the country, 12 and 13, we haven't seen for a while now. but because we have the milder westerly south—westerly atlantic air getting in at it is so close to the north of scotland will have to battle with cold or mild air coming in and at the moment, it looks like the mild air will in and at the moment, it looks like the mild airwillwin in and at the moment, it looks like the mild air will win so this is

tuesday's forecast, it will rain is coming in, south—westerly wind, even across edinburgh, we will see things warm a little bit, perhapsjust the far but unfortunately with the wild weather coming in, the potential of wet and later the week, windy weather. plenty to keep your eye on a few weather watcher, as ever, the race more on our website. this is bbc news. our top stories... zimbabwe's president robert mugabe will meet military commanders on sunday, as protestors in harare march on his residence demanding he step down. a man told me that we want to get in there and tell these people what we think of them. lebanon's prime minister saad hariri meets president macron in paris — and says he will go back to lebanon in the coming days. one of the key figures of the irish republican movement — gerry adams — says he's standing aside from politics. also in the programme... tributes are coming in for malcolm young, co—founder and guitarist of the australian rock band ac/dc, who died aged 64
