his european research group bashing away at the wall, but there hasn't been any mention of david davis in all the papers we have discussed tonight. whatever course this paddle steamer is on down the river, i think it will remain unchanged. the deadline is approaching. how many months away? nine? nine. maybe it is the beginning of a chain reaction, perhaps boris johnson will announce midnight on monday morning that he is the next one to go but what is most significant is that michael gove is often seen as one of the ha rd gove is often seen as one of the hard brexiteers, but a practical brexiteer. one other thing, hard brexiteers, but a practical brexiteer. one otherthing, if hard brexiteers, but a practical brexiteer. one other thing, if i may. as we are talking about the daily express, they are the ultras of brexit, that and diana are the only things they talk about. and the weather. and cancer. this is a very positive. theresa may through down

the gauntlet —— threw down the gau ntlet the gauntlet —— threw down the ga u ntlet to the gauntlet —— threw down the gauntlet to brussels. the express realise that theresa may runs a minority government and if we don't have theresa may and what we could well end up with isjeremy corbyn is the next prime minister, and so they seem to be saying to back the pm, and for the express, they think this could actually lead to no deal, and they would be delighted with that. of course, you may save. they would be delighted with that. of course, you may saveli they would be delighted with that. of course, you may save. i didn't wa nt to of course, you may save. i didn't want to get my dander up. your dander is always up. ijust wanted to point it out because the nostrils we re to point it out because the nostrils were flaring so beautifully. that's it for the papers this hour. david davis has resigned as brexit secretary. you can see the papers online on our website. if you have missed the programme, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you very much forjoining us. next, the

film review. hello and welcome to 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? interesting week. we have mary shelley. basically a film about the creation of frankenstein. the first purge which is the prequel to the long—running series, i know you are a huge fan. and swimming with men. so, mary shelley, tell us about that. my son was doing the book for his a—level. so, basically it is a story about mary shelley's life, about the creation of frankenstein, one of the greatest books of all time. it is always very difficult that the inevitable thing will be

that it is not as good as the brilliant work of art. it is not without merit. it is directed by haifaa al—mansour, and elle fanning is the young writer. her mother has passed away, so she is haunted by her death. she falls in with shelley who is reckless and beautiful. there is almost a hint of twilight, the film, about their relationship. they forge a new relationship, of which her father completely disapproves, but as she discovers, no matter how creative and brilliant years, the world isn't necessarily ready for a tale like frankenstein, particularly not by a female author, because publishers don't think that is what women

should be writing about. 500 copies will be printed. it will be published anonymously, provided you write the introduction. of course. i would be delighted. so everyone will think you wrote it. provided it is published, what does it matter? what does it matter? how is it possible that you still don't understand? you want me to abandon my claim to it, because my gender might spoil it? i never said that! you don't have two! you never think about the consequences of your actions! you bear as much responsible at i do. i am not a grand architect of our misery, mary. you bear the responsibility, i bear the responsibility of ever believing in you! as you can see, committed performances. i like what the film is trying to do. occasionally, it is

a little too literal. all the life events that happened to mary, that we then sort of see, that is foreshadowing events in frankenstein. at one point she goes to an exhibition, where you see a dead frog being sparked with electricity, and it is always a reaction shot of her noticing! but the problem is that it does not have the cinematic spark that it should have. again, with something like frankenstein, that is kind of difficult. it has had a rough time with the critics, rather unfairly. it is solid, and inventive. it takes liberties,

but that is perfectly fine. what movie like this doesn't? but, the main thing is, i wish that it would jump off the screen a little bit more, as it is, it seems solid and interesting, with committed performances, but just lacked that crucial spark of life, no pun intended! but there was a pun! you got it in anyway. all right, the first purge. you have already suggested that i am not the target demographic for this one. the thing about the purge movies as they become more successful than anybody thinks. they have come to the trump era social political setting. this is about the the first purge being set up. it is an experiment in lawlessness. one evening of law not applying, to see if the nation can come to terms with its demons. they are doing it in an era of poor african—americans who they imagine will turn on each other, and when they don't, other forces are sent. there is a nice socio—political underpinning. it is not the most inventive, and it is not as cutting as get out

which is really sharp. that film is brilliant. no one is more surprised than me, that this one in the series that they have got some sort of interesting... it is fine. i saw it in a packed cinema. it played very well with them. they oohed and ahhed in all right places. swimming with men. i have heard described as full monty in speedos. the pool monty. a better pun. rob brydon is a middle—aged man who meets a group of men who are involved in a synchronised swimming team. they call it swim club. in fact, what they are doing, is they are sort of using it as a way to get in touch with their emotions.

inevitably, because it is a film, a competition comes into view, and the next thing is they have to get quite good. here is a clip. you landed on my head. distribution of the stack is wrong. it has got to be equal, which means that we have got to take it and wait into consideration. meaning? you can't be next to him, because he needs of the next somebody less fat. you calling me fat? arty, you calling me fat? you could do with losing a little bit... it is like trying to wrestle with a yak, you could do with a trip to the barbers. fatboy slim.

guys, guys! let's do it again. we have got to practice. i heard rob brydon talk about this, and they didn't use any doubles. they did all these swimming themselves. spent a lot of time in the pool. when it works the best, it is when it is doing its of men who sort of lost the plot, finding something that kind of help them reconnect. i like all of that stuff. the stuff about the competition, i am less interested in. but there is a real story from behind those that doesn't involve the competition, although this is a very sycophantic version. nicely tell in the interaction between the guys, all of whom are variously confused about who they are and what they are meant to be.

i did laugh, pretty much solidly all the way through. it is not huge belly laughs, but it is kind of... it makes you chuckle, and you like the characters. it is a very good ensemble cast. rupert graves. these are people who can do something in their sleep. i went in quite cynically, because it seems they had that it is the full monty references, you immediately start to... i thought it was oddly charming, and i'm surprised to think that. and a very british sort of film. very british. but everybody said that about the full monty. but it is cute. now, best out? leave no trace. if this is not in my list at the end of the year, i will be surprised. it is a about a father and daughter living off the grid. they are found by the social services and forced to read to integrate. it is brilliant by debra granik. fantastic performance by tomasson mckenzie as the young girl. she is brilliant. the story is not told through dialogue. it is told through action and through looking, and through... cinema is an audiovisual medium, and often people think that people should stand up

and explain the plot. at no point in leave no trace, does anybody say, is the thing i've included interesting... itjust happens. it was a note—perfect film. it did not put a single foot wrong, and everyone i know that has seen it absolutely loves it. ijust hope that more people do see it, because it is a limited release. and best dvd. you were never really here. lynne ramsay is a genius. this is a hit man picture, but it is more than this. an existential thriller about somebody said out to retrieve a lost child. like all of lynne ramsay's stuff, you just tremble with amazement

at the film—making. it is brilliant to be able to see this kind of film—making in a moment when it is so difficult to make these kinds of movies. i think, you were never really here is really wonderful, and it is hard to describe in words. you have got to see it, and i would recommend everyone sees it. even you can't describe it in words? other than saying, two thumbs up. thank you for being with us. 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 though. thanks for watching. goodbye. it has been another dry, hot and sunny weekend. today was the hottest day of the

year so farfor today was the hottest day of the year so far for england. staying pretty hot and muggy to many of us through the remainder of tonight. things are changing a little bit, turning cooler across parts of scotland, north—east england as we started drawing a little bit more of a northerly breeze. through the day tomorrow, lots of sunny spells again. a little bit more cloud across parts of scotland. here, it will be cooler. some places, around 5- 10 will be cooler. some places, around 5— 10 degrees cooler. where we keep that warm sunshine across southern and western parts of england and wales, 30 degrees or even higher once again that contrast that to newcastle, just 16. a slightly cooler interlude making its way further south through tuesday and into wednesday but then it warms up once again towards next weekend. this is bbc world news.
