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 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 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, 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 post—traumatic 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. scoffs. in the lead role, miller, who shone 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 its audience. but if the result is ultimately a failure, then at least it's an admirable failure, and 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. whoa! 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 ended up with 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, frenetic 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 a mythical south east asia to modern—day france for my donkey, my lover & 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 signs up for a six—day trek and finds herself tethered to a stubborn beast who, 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. sings. now, 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 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 i! 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 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 pizazz 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 grrrl 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 of jock culture. ——have learned to accept and even expect the everyday sexism of jock culture. can i help you? 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 to join 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 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 pulls 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? hello there. very little change to the weather as we move into part two of the weekend. it'll stay disappointingly cold for early march — mainly dry, thanks to high pressure with quite a lot of cloud around, just a few sunny breaks here and there. so for sunday, we start off with some frost around, a little bit of sunshine, then it looks like it will turn cloudier into the afternoon. some rain for northern and western scotland, and any wintering us over the hills starting to diminish as temperatures rise a little bit here, 9—10 celsius for the northwest, but 7—8 celsius elsewhere. sunday night'll be another chilly one for the southern half of the country, under clear skies with some frost. less cold further north, that's because we'll have more cloud and breeze, and some showery bursts of rain. so we start off with some sunshine across the south, seeing some variable cloud into the afternoon, but a few sunny breaks also developing across scotland there. temperatures a degree

or so up across the board, ranging from 8—10 celsius. then beyond tuesday, it looks like it'll turn very unsettled — stormy spell of weather with wet and windy conditions moving in across all areas.
