cup well placed. it is also an fa cup weekend. two fifth round ties tonight. we will hear from alex mcleish back in charge of scotland. tennis, rugby league and boxing, a massive all british world title fight to look forward to this weekend. that is all coming up on sportsday at 6:30pm with me, olly foster. now on bbc news it is time for the film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is jason solomons. good to have you with us, what have you been watching? we go to set on to wear saoirse ronan stars as lady bird dreaming of romance and not serving coffee. we set sail on the ocea ns serving coffee. we set sail on the oceans with colin firth single—handedly taking on the world in around the world yacht race

starring as donald crow hurst in the mercy. and there is more water as sally hawkins stars in guillermo del toro's fishy fairy tale and an unlikely relationship with an aquatic alien. it isa aquatic alien. it is a very interesting wick. i loved lady bird, i loved it! i'm glad you did. of all the films this film season lady bird has given me more pause than any one. i have seen it three times and it has taken that long for the subtleties and emotions to sweep over me. it is a film told from greta gerwig's point of view, the writer and director. saoirse ronan stars in it. it is a film told from a very fresh feminine perspective. it is a film we have seen hundreds of times before, a high school movie with cliques and drama and prom night. it is everything simple on the inside but

outside it is sweet and beautiful. really, it is about a mother and daughter relationship. lady bird is the name given to her by herself. her mum wants to call her christian. the mum is played by laurie metcalf who was in roseanne years ago. —— her mum wants to call her christine. anyone who has been a daughter and had a mother, i think this film will resonate beautifully, movingly and hysterically. here they are arguing as they do throughout the entire film about which college christine, lady bird should go to. film about which college christine, lady bird should go toll film about which college christine, lady bird should go to. i want to go where culture is. new york or connecticut or new hampshire. you will not get into those schools. you can't pass your driver 's test. you will not let me practice! christine... my name is lady bird! actually it is not. you should just

go to city college, with your work ethic, to city college, to jail, and back to city college. we both laughed at that line, go to jail! it is for anyone. i didn't wa nt to jail! it is for anyone. i didn't want to state is a female film in some stereotypical way. i think a lot of people will love it. there is an interesting twist on the male characters which i will not give away. it is so well observed. there is the charm of the writing, it is small—town life, sacramento is the capital of california but for lady bird it represents a prison she wa nts to bird it represents a prison she wants to break out of. here she is with timothee chalamet who plays an indie band pretentious rocker. it builds up all the stuff we have seen before and gives it is very fresh, gentle and fog will take. it breaks your heart quite often. it is about

stuff that is often not said. all the frustration that errant her mum have, where her mum passively aggressively merges her and —— nags her and says is that dress to pink? people i know who have seen the film have written to their mums and said, mum, actually love you, i do not say it enough. in hollywood films about fathers and sons, they always climax with the sun saying i love you. but this is different. it breaks your heart that the end. i think it is divine, absolutely gorgeous. heart that the end. i think it is divine, absolutely gorgeousm heart that the end. i think it is divine, absolutely gorgeous. it is a delight and greta gerwig's first. herfirst on her own. she is the fifth to be nominated for the oscar. i would have a flutter on lady bird taking best picture.

what did you make of the mercy? io—macro stars colin firth. you remember in pride and prejudice when he emerged from the lake. in this one he gets a right old soaking. he plays donald crow hurst, truelove eccentric from devon. he —— donald crow hurst. he invented his old delhi are about to enter around the world yacht race. he has a happy marriage with rachel weisz and kids and he decides to do this in an ealing spirit of the little man taking on the world he is getting sponsorship from a local car dealer played by ken stott and getting sponsorship from tinned soup firms and rom firms, and then he sets sail up and rom firms, and then he sets sail up off on his race and it becomes a totally different movie. it becomes

profound and moving and mystical and perplexing. why is this man taking on this challenge. it is a true life tales so i do not want to tell people what happened even though they can look it up and find out, but what happens is extremely strange. the film struggles to take that on board. colin firth does some of the best acting in years. it might be something to do with the water. it brings the best out of colin. fascinating. it is a film of two halves. david thewlis is good. rachel weisz does not have much to do apart from answer the phone and look worried a lot. colin firth is good but then the film gets bogged down in its own mysteries but they are true mysteries. no one knows what happened in this movie. it d rifts what happened in this movie. it drifts rather to a climax, to use a nautical phrase. we will not give anything away. the shape of water, this is a

curious film and i mean this in a good way. i enjoyed it but you do get to the end and thing, i am not sure what it is about. it is about sally hawkins who plays a mute cleaner called elise and she has a job in an american underground nuclear facility which i think peppered the us in the cold war in the 50s and 60s. a creature is brought in rather like the roswell incident. they bring it in in a tank to do experiments. they suspect it can help them defeat the russian somehow and win the space race. can help them defeat the russian somehow and win the space racem is never clear. they mistrust this creature entirely about from one mute outside clean—up played by sally hawkins who strikes up a strange relationship immediately with this creature in the tank. how was your trip? just one number

please. security, call security. head of security. moaning noise.. get them out. michael shannon's agent strickland glowering as only michael shannon can do. that clip gives the

impression it is all foreboding and dangerous and scary but a lot of it is not. it is an unbelievably beautiful film. the is not. it is an unbelievably beautifulfilm. the production design is extraordinary. that is why it has got so mini nominations at the oscars and the baftas, i2 and 13. the the oscars and the baftas, 12 and 13. the design is good. the music is great and the cinematography. there isa great and the cinematography. there is a lot of great stuff in it. i think there is too much in it. is a lot of great stuff in it. i think there is too much in itm is a lot of great stuff in it. i think there is too much in it. it is a busy film. it pastiches b-movies which the director guillermo del toro was watching and he thought wouldn't it be nice if the girl and the creature get together like they do in king kong and splash. it is entirely unique of the director's vision. any hint of cynicism will ruin the spell of the film. you have to watch it entirely spellbound like sally hawkins does. she is terrific in it. but if you enter with an

outside thought you will say, it is a bit silly, i think someone is dancing with a fish. i know it will not be for some people. very interesting. i think it is worth seeing ina interesting. i think it is worth seeing in a curious way. we have not managed to the black panther yet, much to my other half's discussed but we are trying to get there!m is such an important movie. i have to mention it as the best film out there. it is brilliant. for i marvel movie it packs so much thought into it. it is about wakanda, an african country whose borders have to be protected by t'challa. people have compared it to the lion king. if thatis compared it to the lion king. if that is cute, this is the cool version. everyone in it is fantastic. culturally, it has an all—black cast. that has never been the case before. but watching it you

forget connotations of race. you are just watching a movie which transcends race which i think is so important about it. and everyone in it is amazingly hot and sexy soap wakanda it is amazingly hot and sexy soap wa kanda was the it is amazingly hot and sexy soap wakanda was the hottest place in the marvel universe. michael b jordan ta kes marvel universe. michael b jordan takes his top off and everyone was swooning. colin firth has nothing on him! and a quick mention of a dvd? most beautiful islands. it is about an immigrant cleanerand most beautiful islands. it is about an immigrant cleaner and a pair who work in new york, the black economy —— most beautiful island. it is about the nether world they can get sucked into it. it is made by ana asensio who stars in it and directs it. i thought it was fantastic. a fresh new indie film that i can recommend because you have never seen it before. jason, thank you very much indeed. i really

interesting week. enjoy your cinema going whichever of those interesting films you decide to take on this weekend. thanks for being with us, bye— bye. you are still watching bbc news. before we go to the six o'clock news some detailsjust coming before we go to the six o'clock news some details just coming to us from florida. the fbi has issued a statement in the last few moments, admitting that more could have been done to stop nikolas cruz, the 19—year—old who is still in custody. the fbi saying that onjanuary the 5th, someone close to nicholas cruz, somebody contacted a line where you can report concerns you have.
