the entire tournament and the following year is guaranteed. i for one as an english fan and delighted that 50 years of hurt will be coming to an end. this victory is perhaps inevitably going to be responsible for getting many people in this country over excited. but there is no doubt, particularly for the first 20 minutes of the match, it was a strong performance. to see sterling scoring is a novelty as of late, so it's good that he did it for england. when he plays well and scores for england, england do well. and if this gives him the kind of boost that alan shearer received in 1996, we could have some exciting few weeks ahead of us, and hopefully the sunshine will last for that. let's leave it there. thank you so much forjoining us for the papers this evening, it's been great to see you again. thank you for watching, next up it's the film review with mark kermode. bye—bye.

hello, and welcome to the film review with me, mark kermode, rounding up the best new movies available for viewing in cinemas and at home. the surprise treat of this week's batch of new releases is nobody, an insanely violent and also insanely entertaining action drama centring on the unlikely figure of better call saul star, bob odenkirk. take it. i don't want it. it ain't a matter of want, hutch,

it's the principle of need. so keep my sister safe, bro. he plays hutch, an apparently shy and retiring worker drone with a boring job who fails to break heads when his house is broken into, to the sneering disappointment of his colleagues, neighbours and family. little do they know that mousy hutch is actually a coiled spring, a lethal weapon doing his very best to keep his long dormant killer skills under wraps. who are you? having once worked as an auditor — or trained assassin — hutch put his past behind him to settle down and start a family. but now, the cat is out of the bag and a group of russians are on his tail, meaning that it's time for hutch to stop playing nice and start playing nasty. what is happening? don't call 911. while the premise may sound like an unholy mishmash of taken and a history of violence, nobody is actually a total hoot, thanks to a playfully hard—boiled script by derek kolstad,

energetic direction by ilya naishuller, who made 2015's hardcore henry, and a wonderfully deadpan central performance by odenkirk. you should've seen it go up! it was something! in supporting roles, aleksey serebryakov chews the scenery magnificently as hutch's murderous nemesis, while christopher lloyd has huge fun playing the star's equally deadly dad. you brought a lot of shotguns! you brought a lot of russians! there are laugh—out—loud gags about kitty cat bracelets and crunchy punch—ups that recall the fight scenes from john wick, with which this shares a key producer. it all adds up to a deliciously guilty pleasure, a near—perfectly executed slice of b—movie mayhem that's more fun than any movie this head—crackingly disreputable has a right to be. you can enjoy the hell out of nobody in cinemas now. from physical punch—ups to emotional sparring matches with the jet black comedy shiva baby.

0h, mom, i can't eat that. why not? i'm vegetarian. you're killing me. i've told you so many times! you have not eaten a single thing all day. that's because we just got here! you look like gwyneth paltrow on food stamps... oh, my god. ..and not in a good way. developed by writer—director emma seligman from her acclaimed 2018 short film of the same name, shiva baby stars rachel sennott as danielle, a young woman having a nightmarish time at what is sardonically described as a "funeral afterparty". you think she has an eating disorder? among the guests are danielle's smothering mother and father, brilliantly played by polly draper and fred melamed, her estranged friend and sometime lover maya, played by molly gordon, and danny deferrari's max, a sugar daddy who turns up with his wife and baby only hours after enjoying danielle's paid—for services. i'll get his number later. now, now. stop. now, now, now. no, mom. what follows is a string of excruciating encounters that make the toe—curling embarrassments of mike leigh's abigail's party seem like a walk in the park. accompanied by the brilliantly edgy

strains of ariel marx's jittery panic—attack score, shiva baby is by turns hilarious and horrifying, a fever dream of social dysfunctionality that leaves its audience unsure whether to laugh or scream. do you kids know each other? erm... sennott is mesmerising in the lead, a bundle of raw nerves making her way through a sea of obstacles wearing a smile that looks like it might snap at any moment. meanwhile, the supporting players do a pitch—perfectjob of conjuring a crowd that can be warm and supportive one moment, brutallyjudgemental the next, all with the aid of some of the sharpest urban family dialogue since the heyday of nora ephron. you thought that baby was cute? yes! it was hideous. freakishly pale! it may be a bit too spiky for some, but i found shiva baby as entertaining as it is awkward. you can find it exclusively on the streaming service mubi. at the recent academy awards, everything seemed designed to lead up to a finale

in which chadwick boseman would receive a posthumous best actor oscar for ma rainey�*s black bottom, only for plans to go awry when anthony hopkins, who wasn't at the ceremony, unexpectedly won for the father. what do you do for a living? erm, i look after other people. other people? yeah, myjob is to help people who need help. sounds like one of those guys you're always trying to dump off on me, dear. hopkins plays anthony, father of olivia colman's doting daughter anne, who's struggling to manage her dad's dementia. anthony accuses anne of wanting to get him out of his flat so she can take it over for herself. i'm not leaving my flat! but it soon becomes clear that past, present and future are colliding in anthony's mind, leaving him uncertain as to where, when, and even who he is. what is this nonsense? what is that? what are you talking about? where is she? i'm here.

ah... meanwhile, multiple actors play single characters, such as mark gatiss and rufus sewell representing interchangeable male figures, 0livia williams alternating with 0livia colman, and imogen poots as a new carer who reminds anthony of his absent daughter laura. hey! chuckles directed by florian zeller, upon whose award—winning stage play le pere the film is based, the father — for which zeller and christopher hampton won the best adapted screenplay oscar — does an impressive job of invoking anthony's fractured state of mind, with particular plaudits due to production designer peter francis' subtly shifting sets. who...exactly am i? but it can also feel rather stagey and performative, packed with showy speeches and overplayed reactions more suited to the theatre than the cinema. personally, i still think the best movie ever made about alzheimer's is natalie erika james' relic, a heartbreaking australian horror

film that was completely ignored by oscar voters but that deserves every award going. you can find relic on blu—ray or on streaming services like shudder, while the father is in cinemas now. the winner of the best international feature oscar at this year's academy awards was thomas vinterberg's another round, which opens in uk cinemas injuly. in the meantime, running against the wind, which was ethiopia's entry last year, is now available on digital platforms. the story follows two boys from a remote rural village whose lives take them in very different directions after an early encounter with a camera. one dedicates his life to training as a long—distance runner,

determined to emulate the success of his sporting hero haile gebreselassie, who has a cameo role. the other heads to addis ababa with dreams of becoming a photographer, only to find himself caught in a web of crime and poverty. described as being inspired by true events, this ratherformulaic tale of tested friendships didn't make the academy shortlist but still offers a touching portrait of brotherly bonds and youthful dreams. it's less rewarding when the narrative slips into crime and sports movie cliches — although cinematographer mateusz smolka makes the most of the varied, vivid scenery and injects an air of excitement and urgency into the sometimes rather drab storytelling. you can find running against the wind on digital platforms now. from ethiopia to australia for the coming—of—age lgbtq romcom

ellie & abbie (and ellie's dead aunt). what has gotten into you? where has my sweet daughter gone? you're like a different person, and all i can seem to think is that it must be that... ok, let's not say anything that we might regret. ..it must be that girl. i'll walk home, thanks. written and directed by monica zanetti, who said she wanted to make a movie that teenagers could watch with their mums, this crowdfunded film that began life as a play centres on school captain ellie, whose deceased aunt tara appears to her as quote "a fairy godmother" on the eve of her coming out. but i don't really think that - there's anything you can do to help. ok, sweet ellie, yeah, sure. so, let's just talk about today, then, shall we? ellie has fallen for classmate abbie, played by zoe terakes, whose previous credits include playing trans inmate reb keane in the popular tv series wentworth. in theory, tara has appeared to give

ellie some much—needed advice on how to ask abbie to the year 12 formal — the australian equivalent of a prom — but it seems that ellie is not the only one in need of help. just. ..don't. released to coincide with pride month, ellie & abbie (& ellie's dead aunt) is a somewhat ramshackle but still solidly good—hearted affair. at times, the supernatural subplot put me in mind of gurinder chadh's 2010 oddity it's a wonderful afterlife, with zanetti seeming a little uncertain just how seriously to take the ghost story elements. personally, i found the aunt tara stuff a distraction from the main event, the beautifully clumsy courtship between ellie and abbie with all its small—scale interpersonal triumphs and tragedies. look, ijust want to . preface this upfront — i have absolutely no interest in being messed around. - terakes in particular is good as a character whose sexuality has taught her to be tough and non—reliant, and terrific support from kiwi legend rachel house, who proved a scene—stealer in films like hunt for the wilderpeople

and thor: ragnarok and who again knocks it out of the park here. you can find ellie & abbie (and ellie's dead aunt) in cinemas now. i'll leave you with news that the coen brothers' 1996 classic fargo is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a limited uk cinema re—release. thought you might need a little warm—up. thanks a bunch! so, what's the deal here? gary says triple homicide? yeah, looks pretty bad. two of them are over here. frances mcdormand, who recently won her third acting oscar in the best picture winner nomadland, earned herfirst statuette as marge gunderson, the pregnant detective investigating a snowbound high—speed pursuit, shooting and execution—type deal. i'm not sure that i agree with you 100% on your police work there, lou. yeah? yeah. oh, yeah. the opening tells you that this is a true story, but don't go believing everything you read. all you need to know is that fargo is a blackly comic masterpiece that hasn't aged a day.

yeah, that's a good one. it's in selected cinemas now. that's it for this week. thanks for watching the film review. stay safe, and i'll see you next week. i was just wondering if you had any new vehicles stolen off the lot in the past couple of weeks, specifically a tan—coloured sierra. mr lundegaard?
