a feud to many martinis! she is good at playing drunk. the main actress trained as a musician and music was her background and i assume this is a reason she was chosen. she ended up a reason she was chosen. she ended up on a reason she was chosen. she ended upona a reason she was chosen. she ended up on a polish tv composition which is how she gained herfame and echoes that because she is part of this grim x factor in postwar poland. the action moves to paris and it gets more interesting and lost me a little bit because i a lwa ys lost me a little bit because i always need to feel invested in the

central romance. i need to believe they belong together. she is stunningly beautiful and many people will be falling in love with her but it is very much from the male character's point of view. maybe thatis character's point of view. maybe that is a reason i was not won over. these are selfish people who do not help each other in relationships. they make self—serving and mysterious choices. but it is beautifully shot. and to deliberate policy to be black and white, running from the 40s to 60s.|j walked out of the screening and suddenly the world looks strange in colour. it was evocative. i am interested in the next, an interesting idea. does it work. searching is shown entirely on computer screens, laptops, phones, face time which has happened before in the horror movie genre but this
5:52 pm
is not a horror movie. this is a thriller about a missing child. it sta rts thriller about a missing child. it starts giving you a lovely montage ofan asian starts giving you a lovely montage of an asian american family in san jose, and sadly the mother passes away and the daughter grows up and goes missing as a teenager and the father is given the task of looking online, trying to find out, looking at her search history, what might be going on, whether she has run away, washing hanging out with unsavoury characters online? every parent's worst nightmare going through his head. an fbi agent helps to track her down. it was remarkably effective and you sort of forget you are watching one computer screen in the main. it is like looking over someone's shoulder at something interesting on the computer. does it

last for the duration of the feature film? i have seen it twice and it got me both times, first time you enjoy the story, it is a tight thriller. it is not a violent thriller. it is not a violent thriller which is great. there are things that looked like jokes, thriller which is great. there are things that looked likejokes, but they are great big clues so keep your eyes peeled. we must talk about idris elba, people are excited he is turning to directing.|j idris elba, people are excited he is turning to directing. i would love to say it is fantastic. it is a so—so one from me but he has not done too badly, a solid debut. yardie the book was a hit in the 90s when people sold it from record shops and the back of fans. it is about 1970s jamaica and moving into 19805 about 1970s jamaica and moving into 1980s hackney. we will see in the clip that his character, d, comes to the uk to deal drugs but falls back into family life with his
