and in 2012 it had to re—enter scottish football in the then third division. but rangers rose rapidly back up the leagues, with three promotions in four seasons, eventually regaining top—flight status in 2016. while rangers were destitute, bitter rivals celtic dominated, winning nine premiership titles in a row. for fans like alan park, who's supported rangers for a0 years, it's been a difficult decade. it's been a long time coming, jane, it really, really has. as i say, there's been dark times. we always knew we would come back. when we would come back, we didn't know, but now we're back. the man credited with steering the club back to the top, former liverpool and england captain steven gerrard. it's his first senior coaching role, and this would be his first managerial silverware. but rangers still have work to do. they need to win here tomorrow against st mirren and hope

that celtic drop points against dundee united on sunday. that would effectively hand rangers the title and halt celtic in their efforts to win a record ten titles in a row. for ten years, ibrox has been the home to a sleeping giant of scottish football. it's woken up. jane dougall, bbc news, glasgow. we're just getting some news from our defence correspondent about a british soldier who has died on a firing range. this is according to a statement from the ministry of defence, an army spokesperson says "it is with great sadness we can confirm the death of a soldier on the 4th of march. our thoughts are with his family and friends at this tragic time and the statement says the circumstances are being investigated and as it would be inappropriate to comment any further." the death of a british

soldier at a firing range. any more developments to this story will of course be brought to you. lots more on our website. i'll be back at the top of the hour, but now it's time for the film review with mark kermode. hello and welcome to the film review with me, mark kermode, rounding up the best new movies available for viewing in the home while we look forward to cinemas reopening in may. in the psychological thriller wander darkly, sienna miller plays adrienne, a woman caught between this world and the next. you know we both

deserve to be happy. are you happy? yeah, sure. oh, that's commencing. oh, that's convincing. having argued with her partner matteo, played by diego luna, on the drive home from a party, new mother adrienne finds herself in a horrific car crash after which she thinks she's died, witnessing her own funeral and watching herfamily fall apart with grief. hey, adrienne! come down! what are you doing? yet matteo, who was in the car with her and can clearly see and talk to her, tells her that she's simply recovering from trauma, picking up the pieces of a shattered life. oh, my god, you're dead, too. what? no, no, i'm not. and you're not. is adrienne hallucinating, is she in a coma or is she somehow haunting her own life? written and directed by tara miele and shot way back in 2018, wander darkly is a film whose modest budget belies its very high ambitions, a metaphysical drama

about the meaning of life and attempts to turn a posttraumatic love story into a terrence malick—esque meditation upon existence. this is real. some would liken the narrative to a cross between eternal sunshine of the spotless mind and ghost, although to me, it was more reminiscent ofjacob�*s ladder, the twisted 90s oddity about an american soldier besieged by visions that may or may not be combat shock. you got to find somebody that you love. not shea, please don't marry shea. in the lead role, miller, who shown in 2018's american woman, continues to impress, carrying the weight of an elliptical drama that constantly threatens to collapse around her. as for the film, it doesn't quite hang together, with the central conceit teetering on the brink of silliness, threatening to exasperate rather than engage his audience. than engage its audience. but if the result is ultimately a failure, then at least it's an admirable failure. i'd always rather see a film—maker

aim high and fall short than simply play it safe. wander darkly is available on digital download from monday. altogether more successful, although no less fantastical, is raya and the last dragon, the latest eye—popping animation from disney. six years of searching. please let this be it. 0h! focus. eyes forward, tuk tuk. good boy! kelly marie tran, who played rose tico in the star wars movies, provides the voice of raya, a young woman struggling to reunite the warring kingdoms of her homeland. to do this, she must seek out and reanimate sisu, a rather hapless dragon voiced by awkwafina, into whose hands — or rather, talons — the peaceful future of this world has been entrusted. we really need your help. i'm going to be real with you — i'm not, like, the best dragon. have you ever done, like, a group project but there's like that

one kid who didn't pitch in as much but still got the same grade? co—written by adele lim, whose screenplay credits include the hit comedy crazy rich asians, this visually—dazzling romp has action and adventure to spare, with sword fights, punch—ups, phonetic chase sequences, magical apparitions, shape shifting and sweeping cinematic vistas aplenty. my girl raya and i are going to fix the world, bring everyone back. more importantly, it also has an uplifting message about overcoming fear and learning to trust our enemies, a message that seems particularly timely right now. it's available on disney+ with premier access. from mythical south east asia to modern—day france for my donkey, my lover and i, a romantic comedy that does exactly what it says on the tin.

laure calamy, who'll be familiar to many from the hit tv show call my agent, stars as antoinette, a schoolteacher having an affair with a married man whom she plans to surprise on the hiking trip he's taking with his wife and daughter. so, she signed up for a six—day trek and finds herself so, she signs up for a six—day trek and finds herself tethered to a stubborn beast whom, like her lover, does what he wants when he wants, regardless of her needs. taking inspiration from robert louis stevenson's travels with a donkey in the cevennes, writer—director caroline vignal�*s film, originally entitled antoinette dans les cevennes, sounds excruciating — a perky french rom—com about someone going on holiday with a donkey by mistake. and yet somehow, this quietly preposterous confection won me over, thanks in no small part to calamy's terrifically endearing

and spirited performance. yes, the set—up is contrived and the comedic set piece is formulaic, and the life lessons to be learned along this journey are obvious from the outset. but calamy makes us care about antoinette�*s misfortunes, leaving us rooting for her and for her four—legged friend who will only walk when she talks, a neat dramatic device in which vignal makes the most. danish film—maker anders refn is best known to some as the editor of lars von trier films like breaking the waves and antichrist, and as the father of nicholas winding refn, director of drive and the neon demon, anders is also an accomplished director of drive and the neon demon, anders is also an accomplished director in his own right who's recently completed work on what he calls

"a labour of love" ten years in the making, unearthing a fascinating story about denmark's involvement in world war ii that has never been told on film before. the result is into the darkness, which proved a box office smash in denmark early last year, outperforming the likes of 1917, and which now opens online in the uk. veteran danish actor jesper christensen, known to english—speaking audiences as the villainous mr white in the bond franchise, is the industrialist struggling to keep his family together and his business afloat in the wake of the german occupation. how far should he collaborate with the nazis, who everybody seems to

believe are set to win the war? and what about the rest of his family, whose loves and loyalties are becoming bitterly divided? refn says that up until now, danish movies about this period are focused on glorified acts of heroism, without acknowledging the taboo spectre of collaboration. by contrast, into the darkness focuses on the shades of grey that underwrote to the early years of the occupation, in which allegiances are sorely tested. thematically, there are comparisons to be made with the dutch classic black book, although refn�*s rather televisual film has none of the cinematic pizzazz of paul verhoeven�*s unruly gem. while the story of into the darkness may be new to the movies,

the storytelling is as old as the hills. a second instalment of this saga, which already clocks in at over 150 minutes, is currently in the works, although production has been delayed by covid. you can find the first part on digital platforms now. i'll leave you with news of something altogether more upbeat that's currently playing on netflix. hey, mum, what do 16—year—olds care about? when i was 16, all i cared about was smashing the patriarchy and burning it all down. directed by amy poehler, moxie is a tale of riot girl power passed down from mother to daughter. hadley robinson is vivian, a student whose schoolmates have learned to accept and even expect the everyday sectors ofjock culture. but when no—nonsense new arrival lucy, played by alycia pascual—pena, stands up to patrick schwarzenegger's harassing football star mitchell, vivian is inspired tojoin her battle, albeit anonymously. i'm going to keep my head up.

high. fired up by the contents of an old suitcase packed with the detritus of her mother's punky past, vivian knocks together a feminist fanzine called moxie and secretly distributed and secretly distributes it around the school. what's the goal? revolution, baby! soon, formerly downtrodden girls of all social groups are coming together, taking a leaf out of the zine�*s luridly photocopied pages to fight back against the boys. adapted by screenwriters tamara chestna and dylan meyer from a novel byjennifer mathieu, moxie may lack the depth of eighth grade or the punch of booksmart, but it's still blessed with enough good—hearted energy to raise a smile, several chuckles and the occasional cheer. much of its success is down to the cast, who manage to balance the serious and comedic aspects with likeable aplomb. but you're glad you did it all, right? of course. what are you going do, nothing? most impressively, poehler pulled

off an entertaining and accessible film that confronts issues of bullying, harassment and rape with a sturdy spirit of defiance, humour and collective optimism — no mean feat. that's it for this week. thanks for watching the film review. stay safe, and i'll see you next week. hey, baby. where are your parents? hey, uh, whose baby? what? high pressure will dominate our weather into the weekend. that will be chilly by day and by night, we can see some frost and fog in places. as we head through tonight, we'll start to see frost developing, particularly where skies are clear. large portions of england

and wales and scotland. a few spots of rain at times, certainly temperatures holding above freezing but for many, at freezing or below to greet us for saturday morning. it's going to be a cold start, some mist and fog to walk out four. there will be some sunshine around but will be some sunshine around but will turn cloudy again for many. spots of rain affecting the northwest of scotland. being blown off the north sea and a chilly day for all. off the north sea and a chilly day forall. it's off the north sea and a chilly day for all. it's a similar story on sunday and as we move through the new working week, it turns a lot more on settled by midweek.
