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 see the personal and political completely intertwined. as i said, it has a poetry to it. yeah, the people who say it is remarkable but actually too bleak, is that unfair? i don't agree. there is genuine poetry. notjust in the lyricism of the visuals but in the way that the film is constructed. obviously i know a lot of people will see it 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 heart and tenderness. 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 set 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 eye prospective. yes, they live in poverty in a 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. praise indeed, 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 sound like perfect subject matter for 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 they 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 poetic licence to say it is based on a true story.

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. i have a domestic battle on my hands now withjustice league, though. see you next week to be lovely to see you. apart from that, a reminder that you will find more film reviews and news on the website. all previous programmes are on the iplayer. that is it from both of us this week. thank you forjoining us. goodbye. it may have been a cold weekend but at least ended on a fine note for many of us. dry weather and even some sunshine, as we can see from these pictures from the isle of wight orkney. a lot of cloud moved

into western parts of the uk during the day. the cloud will win out over night after a chilly start of the night after a chilly start of the night across eastern parts, temperatures rise as the night goes on. cloud moves on, some rain for scotland, northern ireland, wales, the midlands, east anglia. only light and patchy in southern england. not all of us turning milder troops might. cold air in place in scotland and the wet weather moves on, we will see some snow. the hills north of the central belt above boo—a00 metres. heavy rain in places. that's no, the higher you go. outbreaks varane in northern ireland, northern england, some down the eastern side of england. for much of southern england, the midlands and wales, just light and patchy, but plenty of cloud. look out my audit is to start the day, so different from house and they started. let's ta ke they started. let's take a look at things through monday. after a wet start for some

of us, gradually turning dryer. some brighter breaks to the east of high ground anywhere in the uk but expect a lot of cloud through the day. stills and patchy light rain and drizzle into the afternoon in some spots. whilst most of us are milder, still single figure temperatures in scotland. this is how monday evening shapes up. a lot of cloud, light and patchy rain. a spell of rain and working through northern ireland to northern england and scotland through the night and into tuesday. mild air eventually reaching scotla nd mild air eventually reaching scotland means any snow turning to rain across most of the hills during tuesday. the wind picking up across the board. for more rain working south—eastwards across england and wales as they go through tuesday. temperatures are little higher, even in scotland but elsewhere 12—14. big picture tuesday to wednesday, you can see it is dominated by low pressure. the winds are getting stronger, so the second half of the week quite turbulent, wet and windy conditions at times. this week it is
