that is it from us tonight. what is coming up net? it's it the film review? excellent. night night. hello there and welcome to the film review here on bbc news. taking us through this week's cinema releases, it is mark kermode. what have you got? very strong week. disobedience. new film by sebastien lelio. the rocky franchise continues in creed ii. and truth is stranger than fiction in three identical strangers. disobedience, a woman comes back to here hometown. father's funeral, rekindles a love affair, it's had mixed reviews. you've basically done myjob.

rachael weisz is ronit, comes back to new york ‘s and discovers her two best friends, david, played by alessandro nivola. and esti, played by rachael mcadams. there has been no contact. when she turns up, everybody says it was unexpected but it's first unclear why. more food? we don't need it. what's david's wife doing? she will do it when she appears. who is mrs kuperman, esti? who is she? she was going to go to a hotel but i told her she should stay with us. yes, yes.

you must. fold down the bed in the spare room. i will do it. it's fine. you're married? yes. yes, we are, ronit. nobody told me. why didn't you let me know? you disappeared. it's a great cast. it's a really good cast. obviously there was a relationship between her as the esti character and suddenly, when she returns, it throws a spanner in the works and things are rekindled and the rest of the film is about the relationship between love and religion and about how one person has decided to attempt to redefine themselves through belief. there is almost a touch of the miseducation of cameron post. the other side is ronit has become her own person in new york. i thought it was well played, i'm surprised about the mixed reviews. it was very well played and sensitively handled. it is fairly low—key but when it needs to be passionate, it's not embarrassed. it's the story of somebody who in the wake of the death finds themselves cast out of their own community and what i liked, it is a film which doesn't do a lot of explaining the plot to you.

you come to realise things gradually and you do, because of the way the performances work. it's to do with glances and what people don't say and the way people look at each other in the way they hold themselves. i really liked it. a fine film, a couple of terrific central performances. creed ii, i'm nota fan of boxing movies. convince me. i've never watched an actual boxing match but i was surprised when creed reinvented the rocky franchise. this carries on. sylvester stallone. michael bjordan, he is adonis. his father, apollo creed was killed back

in rocky for by dolph lundgren‘s drago. now, the son of drago, victor, wants a second generation grudge match. he is not up for it. rocky is not up for it, and michael bjordan saying, if you don't help me, you are abandoning me. what i thought was good was it is a familiar story. there is a sense of history repeating itself. it is well enough directed that the old moves seem new, the boxing sequences are pretty punchy. they don't have quite the visual punch. pretty punchy. they don't have quite the panache of the first film. one match plays out almost in one shot. there is one which plays out entirely in one shot. it happens is, you care about it and you feel the punches because you ca re about the characters. tessa thompson is terrific. it's astonishing that this far down the line, series is managing to produce new material that, as i said, takes old routes and tells stories in a new way and i was surprisingly gripped.

a couple of moments during the boxing scenes, i was gripping the edge of the chair. going, yes! i've never watched a boxing match and i'm not a fan at all but it worked for me. plus it's quite long. i didn't realise how long it was. when i came out and said, oh, i've been in longer than i thought, and that is a really good recommendation. now, the documentary three identical strangers. new york riplets separated at birth. rediscover each other later on. there is a certain amount of reconstruction, new interviews. we are introduced to a character telling a story about 1980, he goes to college for the first time and people keep saying hello, behaving like they know him.

he realises he has a doppelganger. he has a twin he never knew he had. it becomes a new story which was remarkable. a third person comes out of the wood and says actually, it's me as well. 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 real, this is happening, this is really, really serious. i ditched classes. when i got home, my mother was waiting at home with a cup of coffee and i said mum, you see this? you see this? we exchanged newspapers. long island jewish hospital, july12, 1961. it was louise wise adoption agency and i always knew growing up that i was adopted. my parents were always open about it. it said new hyde park, long island, and scarsdale, new york, son of prominent scarsdale position. my first thought, he's got the wealthy family. it seem like the most remarkable story of coincidence but about 25

minutes in, they became celebrated stars in new york, they had a cameo in a madonna movie, start their own business. where it goes, it then starts to ask about how these coincidences happen. why was it that none of them knew about the others? how was it...was it coincidental that they ended up in three families from three different social strata. it almost starts to look like their accidental destiny has been sinisterly planned. as the documentary goes on, the less you know about it, the better. every time you think, that is the end of all possible coincidences. it can't possibly get any more intriguing, it does. what i really liked about it, it was very well put together, as a piece of storytelling, it's a good story. it has to be told well. it has to be told thatjust

the right level of revelation. at times, it's like a thriller and at times, a really sinister conspiracy theory. on the one hand, it's a very interesting musing on nature versus nurture, but behind that, there is this whole other story going on. seriously, i watched it and i was going, no, no — it must be very annoying for everybody else. it becomes so astonishing. and that's not just because it's a good story. it's really interesting and often very heartbreaking. a very sinewy story. it's told so well. as a piece of filmmaking, it is told with a real firm hand but exactly how much information to reveal at what point. the less you know about the story in advance the better. even if you do, there's been a lot of news coverage about it. you will still be gripped by the way the story is told.

remind me not to sit next to you when i am watching a film. i'm sorry. you shouting out no, no! infuriating. best out? shoplifters, this film won the palm d'or at cannes, a surprise winner. it's about a family unit, the father and the young boy, we meet them shoplifting, he is passing on the shoplifting skills to his son and they appear to be functioning as a normal family. but they are anything but. what's really interesting about it, if you tell a story in a different way, it can be a horror story or a crime thriller. it is told with affection. it is another nature, nurture thing. what constitutes a family, or criminal activity. where do we put the barriers between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour? i thought it was really lovely. i think it was a deserving prizewinner. best dvd, one of my favourites of recent months. sarcastic? i loved it. it is tosh but it's the lovable tosh. mamma mia!

here we go again. i thought the first mamma mia was all over the place. but it won me over. this is technically better made, a terrific script. it is self referentially funny self in the right ways. i laughed, i cried. and the love of my life singing the greatest abba song. i have never cried in the cinema in my life. have you really never cried in a movie? have you ever watched it's a wonderful life? watch that movie and get through to the last scene without bursting into tears. if you don't cry, you're an android. maybe i am! a quick reminder before we go that you will find more film news and reviews across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/markkermode and you'll find all our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that is it for this week. thank you so much for watching, goodbye.

at the this week, the weather is go to quieten down for a time, but from midweek onwards it all gets very busy. we have some showers out there at the moment, quite wet in scotland. this is the picture later in the night. notice many places are dry and clear but as the wet weather clears away from scotland and temperatures dip, but also the risk of icy patches going into the morning. it is here in scotland, northern counties of northern england and northern ireland that stays largely dry and sunny through the day. through the rest of england and wales, outbreaks of rain spreading east, he burst and strong wind towards south wales and south—west england. but it is mild here, quite big range of temperatures across the south of uk. northern scotland you will see you

showers on that northerly flow, increasing as we go into the evening. as the night goes on, a few more showers approaching from the west in scotland, turning wintry inland. it will be a more widely cold night across the uk going into tuesday morning and are largely clear skies. that means a widespread frost as tuesday begins, remember in scotla nd frost as tuesday begins, remember in scotland showers, could be icy patches and a few mist and fog patches and a few mist and fog patches possible too. for tuesday, along with that cold and frosty start, promises lots of sunshine. promises to be a fine day across most areas, although into the far south of england there will be outbreaks of rain moving in towards the end of the afternoon. that is the end of the afternoon. that is the start of the next busier period of weather coming in because this next system will start to feed grain northwards across southern england, wales, the midlands, northern england and then northern ireland to wednesday morning. as it feeds further northwards and some

uncertainty about how far north, it is reaching into colder air and we could see a bit more so in scotland. looks like northern scotland will stay mainly dry. this picture on 3pm wednesday afternoon, turning mild south. into thursday, a big picture and more weather front from the atlantic. further outbreaks of rain pushing east and friday, a deepening area of low pressure targeting the northern half of the uk with its strongest wind, and the wettest weather. so more work weather at times from midweek onwards and particularly by friday, strong wind, 93v particularly by friday, strong wind, gay 01’ particularly by friday, strong wind, gay or all severe gales are possible. —— gales. i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore. the headlines: a stark warning about climate change. as a key un summit opens, experts say the threat posed by rising temperatures has never been worse. destruction in so many places, and

suffering, a lot is offering derived from the consequences of climate change. —— a lot of suffering. a ceasefire in the trade war between the us and china. donald trump and xijinping put punishing tariffs on hold — for now. i'm kasia madera in london. also in the programme: after some of the worst riots in paris for decades, president macron‘s government promises tough action against anyone who resorted to violence.
