apparently people have been having an incredibly vivid dreams. many of them featuring the prime minister. right. let me just what nigel in them featuring the prime minister. right. let mejust what nigel in our final sentence vivid dreams?|j haven't final sentence vivid dreams?” haven't had dreams about the prime minister at least nine i can remember. here is actually a good news story with an unfortunate ending. right. you've made it through to paper reviews, thank you so through to paper reviews, thank you so much forjoining me. that's it for the papers. my thanks tojoe phillips and nigel. coming up next the film review. goodbye. hello and welcome to the film review with me, mark kermode. rounding up the best new releases

that are now available to watch in your own home. this week saw the straight—to—streaming release of trolls world tour. the phosphorescence equal to the 2016 animated hit that, let us not forget, was nominated for an oscar for best original song. # woke up in the morning light. # today is the day that i do everything right...# in that originalfilm, an experience i likened to sticking your head into a candy floss machine, the happy huggy trolls were terrorised by carnivorous burgens from whom they had to be saved. crazy train plays. what's going on? i'm queen barb of the hard rock trolls. in this sequel, the trolls are at war with themselves,

having split into musical tribes of pop, country, funk, techno, classical, and rock. now thrash merchant queen barb is trying to invade all the other troll lands, silence the music, and steal their magic strings, making them one nation under rock. all of which comes as a surprise to pop—loving queen poppy, thatjust wants to give the world a hug and get everyone to live together in perfect harmony. yes, now that's a good connection. the plot of trolls world tour is basically an uncredited rip—off of the 1960s oddity gonks go beat in which the warring inhabitants of beat land and ballad isle are visited by space aliens. that film featured such rock royalty as lulu, ginger baker and the nashville teens alongside the likes of kenneth connor, frank thornton and terry scott. oh, and arthur mullard. trolls world tour boasts the voices of anna kendrick and justin timberlake, alongside ozzy osbourne, maryj blige, and george clinton. oh, and james corden. poppy.

you know you can't go back on a pinky promise. with visual nods to mad max: fury road and jokes about the evils of yodelling and smooth jazz, trolls world tour throws a few comedy crumbs to the adults who would have been taking their kids to the cinema to see this, but are now probably doing the hoovering while the children crowd around the television. this is fairly formulaic dreamworks affair, lacking the visual or musical imagination of happy feet and having none of the pan—generational appeal of a toy story movie — even with its laudable message of embracing difference. most significantly however, trolls world tour is the first major studio movie intended for widespread theatrical release that has now gone straight—to—streaming services here in the uk as a result of coronavirus. how it fares financially will be closely watched by distributors. a pinky promise. dang...

for something a little more grown—up, head to curzon home cinema for the release of the psychological drama, who you think i am. the release is being brought forward, not least because the film's online theme seems to strike a particularly timely chord. based on a novel by camille laurens, it tells the story of a middle—aged divorcee, brilliantly played byjuliette binoche, who invents a fictitious online persona and becomes embroiled in a virtual relationship. recounting her tail to a psychiatrist, claire reveals how clara her younger alter ego began to take over her life, becoming more real than the real world. addicted to the thrill of electronic interaction, she recedes into the comfort

of her phone and her computer, increasingly removed from the rules and responsibilities of the physical world of which she is evermore oblivious. intelligently directed by safy nebbou and hauntingly scored by his regular collaborator ibrahim maalouf, who you think i am is a twisty treat, a film that plays knowingly with narrative in a manner that recalls karel reisz‘s classic adaptation of the french lieutenant‘s woman. it's significant that claire is a professor of literature, well—versed in the complexity of authorial voices. at one point she compares her online life to a novel and throughout the drama, we watch her effectively writing and rewriting her story. her past, present and future. it all adds up to a very modern drama about age—old anxieties, the fear of ageing and death, the desire for love and intimacy, the need for artifice and deceit.

in 500 years, no—one has ever escaped. it's the tower! also new to streaming services this week is the iron mask mystery of the dragon seal, a chinese—russian production nominally starring jason flemyng, arnold schwarzenegger, and jackie chan alongside fleeting appearances by the likes of charles dance, and rutger hauer in one of his final roles. come with me. the sequel to 2014's forbidden kingdom which, like its predecessor, has been released around the world under umpteen different titles, the iron mask finds flemyng's map—makerteaming up with the titular russian tsar to battle a face—swapping witch who's imprisoned a dragon whose eyelashes make tea, or something. to be honest, i had very little idea what was going on, and i don't think the screenwriters had much more. suffice to say that

despite the publicity images, arnie and jackie, who both get producer credits, are very much secondary characters sharing one entertaining punch—up but not a whole lot more. you look better this way. the rest is a mishmash of slapstick wire work, comically bad dubbing, incoherent plotting and shonky cgi land and seascapes. it is also worth noting that the film was designed to be a 3d spectacular which explains all the chains being chucked at the cameras and fishes and fairies flying towards the screen. pointy, pointy cinema gimmicks that on tvjust seem a bit pointless. if you're looking for something more realistic, try martin margiela: in his own words. an intriguing documentary about the famously camera shy belgian fashion designer for whom anonymity is a key to his work. i don't like the idea of being a celebrity. anonymity‘s very important to me.

the last show we had a confession. in the doc, which includes a wealth of archival footage, we hear but don't see margiela tell his own story, in engaging in enigmatic fashion. there are different needs in the fashion world, and i'm not sure i canfit them. also new to streaming services such as bfi player this week is ordinary love, the deeply moving frequently funny and piercingly insightful drama from belfast playwright owen mccafferty making his screen writing feature debut. hospitals remind me of death. lovely. you know what i mean. so if i come in, you won't ever come and visit me? they're not going to bring you injust for a cyst. all i know is it felt serious. that's just because of all the other sick people that are around you. you see, the nonsense you talk... how do you get through life?

well, you're still here with me. i'm just doing that out of spite. right back at you, kid. on the surface, it's a tale of a middle—aged couple facing up to a diagnosis of breast cancer and a year of medical intervention. yet beyond this is something far more rich and compelling, a story of everyday love between two people perfectly played by lesley manville and liam neeson living in the shadow of grief facing an uncertain future both together and apart. directed with wit, subtlety, and great emotional honesty by lisa barros d'sa and glenn leyburn, the couple behind the life—affirming good vibrations, this is a singular story with universal appeal. joyous, heartbreaking, and ultimately uplifting. there isn't a moment i won't be there with you. i think women can do anything. doesn't mean they should. but i have so many talents.

who are you? i'm just a decoy, stud! new to dvd and also available to download is charlie's angels, the latest feature film reboot of the ‘70s tv series. elizabeth banks directs and costars in this girl power update which, for my money, is infinitely preferable to the previous hyperventilating outings helmed by the reliably terrible mcg. oh, mints! let's just stop the touching. some of this blows up. and if you are looking for a classic, the elephant man celebrates its 40th anniversary with a collectors edition three disc set featuring a 4k restoration of the film with sound and picture personally approved by director david lynch. one of the most moving screen dramas of the 20th century, the elephant man boasts beautiful white—and—black photography by the great freddie francis and ca reer—best performances from anthony hopkins and john hurt,

the latter of whom works wonders despite extensive prosthetics that somehow never come between him and the audience. it's a masterpiece. that's it for this week, thanks for watching the film review. stay safe and i will be back next week with more home viewing treats. i am not an elephant! i am not an animal! i am a human being. hello there, the weather is set to change through the second half of this easter weekend. after a couple of very warm days, things are going to be turning cooler and issued only
