hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. 50 mark, what do we have this week? a very strong week. we have this meant disobedience. the new film by sebastian lelio. disobedience is based on a naomi alderman novel by and the character played by rachel weiss comes back she asked she discovers her two best friends and we know that she left under some form of cloud and that she has been completely absent there has been no contact to which he turns up she says that did not

expect to see their there. it's not clear why. shall i take more food out? i don't need it. what was her life doing. so who is the mrs? do we approve? she was going to go to a hotel but i told her she would stay with us. you must. i'll do it. it's fine. you married? yes. yes, we are. why didn't you let me know? you disappeared. it's a great cast. it becomes apparent that the two she was closest to where close and a relationship between her and the esti character. suddenly it throws a spanner in the
8:47 pm
works and things are rekindled. the rest the film is about the relationship between love and religion and how one person has attempted to almost redefine himself through belief and that is almost a touch of they come out miseducation of cameron post. she has gone off to new york and become one person. i'm surprised by the mixed reviews. i have not read them. i liked this and thought it was sensitively handled. there is a comparison with the fantastic a mad woman because it is the story of someone who in their wake of a death finds himself cast out of their own community. what i really liked about it was it as a film which does not do a lot of expanding the plot. you come to realise things gradually and you do because of the way the performances work. is to do with glancey ‘s and what people don't say and the way that people looked at each other haul themselves.
8:48 pm
i really liked it. i have not read the noble but at what it was very funny and coppers a couple of terrific centre performances. creed two. i have never watched our boxing match in my life but i was astonished when can i creed reinvented the boxing franchise. apollo creed was killed in the ring by dolph lundgren ‘s character in rocky form. now his sun victor once a second—generation grudge match rematch and the character played by sir best stallone, rocky, is not up for it. and our hero saying if you don't help me you are basically abandoning me. it's a familiar story
8:49 pm
necessarily so because there is a sense of history repeating itself but it is one of directed that the old moves seem new. the boxy sequences are very punchy. they don't have quite the panache that the first film had in which that is one match playing out almost entirely in one shot but what happens is you care about it and you feel the punches because you could about the characters and it really well played. it is astonishing that this far down the line this series is managing to produce new material that takes old refs and tells all stories in a new way. i was surprisingly gripped. there were a couple of moments during the boxing scenes that are found myself gripping the edge of the chair and going, yes is mark. i'm not somebody that was a boxing fan at all. i thought it was very entertaining and not realise how long was and when i came out i thought while, i have been in the summers cinema longer matters a great recommendation. three identical strangers is a documentary.
8:50 pm
new york triplets separated at birth rediscover each other later on. a character goes to college people say hi to him and behaving like to know him and he realises he has a doppelganger or in fa ct realises he has a doppelganger or in fact has a twin that he never knew he had. that becomes a news story and then a third person comes out of the woodwork and said actually it is me as well. here's a clip. this is not believable. this is unbelievable. wow. this is big, this is serious. this is not some kind of crazy coincidence. this is not a minor resemblance, this is happening, this is really serious. i went to classes got home. my mother was waiting. i said mum, do you see this?
8:51 pm
she said did you see this? we exchanged newspaper. it had the jewish hospital onjuly the top 1961 and it was the louise wise adoption agency. i was knew growing up that i was adopted pins were always open about its. it eddy galland, robert shafran said, sun of a prominent physician. and is said to myself, he's got the wealthy family. as the beginning it seems like the most remarkable story of coincidence. about 25 minutes into the film they have done that and they had a chamomiles cameo in a madonna movie. they had their own business. you ask wheeler goes from here? it then starts to ask about how these coincidences happened and why was it that none of them knew about
8:52 pm
the others? was a coincidental that they ended up in three families from three different social strata? and on the starts to look like they have been sinisterly planned. the less you know about a going in the better. every time you think that is the end of all possible coincidences it cannot get any more intriguing. one of the bad things about the documentaries is that date story is retold well. it has to be told what the right level of revelation. at times it is like a thriller and at times it seems like a really sinister conspiracy theory. on the one hand it is a very interesting musing on nature versus nurture but behind that that is this whole other story going on and seriously i watched it and i was going, no, no, no. it must‘ve been very annoying for anybody else. it becomes so astonishing and what is really important is that
8:53 pm
notjust because it is a good story but it is a really interesting and often very heartbreaking and very sinewy story but told so well. as a piece of film—making it is told with a very firm hand on the tiller of exactly how much information to reveal at which point. the less you know about the story in advance the better and even if you know the whole story armour because there's been a lot of nudes coverage about it you will still be gripped other way the story will be gripped. news coverage. remind me not to sit next to you when you watch the film. shoplifters is a story about a family unit. it was a surprise winner. the father of a young boy, we first meet them shoplifting and he is passing on the shoplifting skills to his son. they appear to be functioning as a normal family but they are anything but.
8:54 pm
if you told a story on the freeway could be a horror story or a crime thriller but it is told with real affection and again it is another kind of nature versus nurture thing. what constitutes a family? what constitutes criminal activity? would we put the barriers between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour? i thought it was really lovely and deserving prizewinner. and best dvd, it is toss but lovable tosh. i used saying that sarcastically? i thought the first mamma mia was all over the place that was all over the place but this is better and i was in floods of tears over my favourite abba song. it has a sequence which features my love of my life which i think is the greatest abba song and you know the secrets i mean. i was in floods of
8:55 pm
tea rs. secrets i mean. i was in floods of tears. so i laughed and cried.” have never ever cried in the cinema in my life. have you really never cried in a movie? have you ever watched it's a wonderful life? your challenge is to watch that again to the last seen without bursting into tears. if you don't cry, you are an android. a quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/mark kermode. and you can find all our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that's it for this week though. thanks for watching. goodbye. the weather this weekend is looking pretty changeable. very stormy weather for a couple of days but the weather for a couple of days but the weather overall, the weather pattern is not going to change much. it is
8:56 pm
still going to be breezy at times and wind and rain not as strong as it has been but these weather systems a re it has been but these weather systems are still lining themselves up systems are still lining themselves up in the atlantic and a trail of cloud racing in that direction that will bring a soggy night to southwestern parts of the country and eventually through the night that rain will sweep through and the wind will increase as well. not too bad in mind but the north and northeast of the country tonight clear with very chilly temperatures above freezing. around seven to 9 degrees. here is saturday morning raining heavily for time and this is the higher rate is forecast and you could see it moving through parts of the west country and central and southern england with wales. some of that rant about seeps into parts of yorkshire and lincolnshire there. north of that the weather gets brighter and sunshine. crisp and i think sunny for eastern scotland
8:57 pm
around edinburgh as well. when i started the day. here's that rain tomorrow afternoon with parts of yorkshire as well. bind it it does brighten up at least a little bit. the temperature contrast six in scotla nd the temperature contrast six in scotland and 14 in london. my goodness comparatively it will be balmy in london. saturday night into sunday we have yet more weather systems moving in and so this is the forecast in the sunday another weather front bringing heavy rain for the early hours of sunday and some of that rain ends up in the north as well. i think by early morning we start to see the weather improving on sunday and clearest skies getting into the southwest of the country. then sunday itself as we go through the course of the day the weather front pushes out into the weather front pushes out into the north sea and we get clearer skies with showers brought in and some of the showers will be heavy and thundery. the winds are west and southwest and s015 here they're coming alone but from the north and
8:58 pm
so that's why it's only into single figures in scotland. into next week is actually does look changeable with a chance of some rain and you could see the big temperature contrast in the south and north of the uk. the 1st of decemberjust around the corner and first aid meteorological winter feeling very autumnal. this is bbc world news today. i'm kasia madera. our top stories. world leaders have gathered in buenos aires for the 620 summit. but there's tension between the leaders over many issues, trade, climate change and the situation in ukraine. the government in kiev raises the tension with moscow. it bans russian men from entering ukraine. the marriott hotel group says hackers have stolen the personal details of hundreds of millions of its customers. and we'll bring you the extraordinary story of how doctors were able to rebuild this man's face, after he suffered disastrous gunshot wounds.
