that's it for the papers this hour. i'm back at the top of the hour for more news and analysis. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news and taking us through this week's cinema releases we have mark kermode. what do you have for us this week? a proper mixed bag. something for everyone. we have turning red which is the new disney

pixar film. we have red rocket, which is the new movie by sean baker who made tangerine and florida project. and we have great freedom which was austria's entry for the 94th oscars. 50, turning red is kind of a fantasy animation, teenager turning into a red panda. 13—year—old girl from a chinese family in toronto suddenly discovers that powerful emotions turn her into a red panda. powerful emotions such as those aroused by the arrival of a boy band who are coming to play a gig in her town. suddenly wakes up, discovers she's transformed into a red panda. breakfast is ready. no sugar. coming! porridge. aaaaah! this isn't happening!

wake up, wake up, wake up! don't come in yet! don't come in here! what's going on, honey? are you sick? is it a fever? stomachache? chills? constipation? no! wait, is it that? did the red peony bloom? no! maybe... ? so, it's a family trait passed down through generations and the only way to do anything about it is to have a ritual, a red moon ritual that will tame the beast and contain it. but the ritual has stepped on the same night as the gig of the boy band that she is particularly fond of. this is directed by domee shi who made the oscar winning short bao which i really, really liked. it's got eye—popping set pieces and it, kind of, really captures both the exuberance of the anxiety the exuberance and the anxiety of being an adolescent. that kind of, giddy, scary thing, your world is out of

control. it also, as you saw it in that clip there, with subjects like menstruation. which traditionally, animated films have kind of stayed away from. but it does it very sensitively and very naturally. it should be a big deal, but it kind of his and congratulations to the film for taking that on. so, it does the thing that the best animations do which is to use and out of this world fantasy to talk about down—to—earth realities, realities that the audience will recognise. i thought it was funny, witty and charming and very well done. it is going straight to disney plus. it's not getting a cinematic release. as i said, this is like soul and luca have both done that. covid—19 definitely changed the way in which people watch films. it's a major release, but it's going straight to streaming service. but it's well worth seeing. is the idea of that to boost disney plus? you know, nowadays, cinema releases are not going to be for everything and obviously, disney plus wanted on the

plus wanted it on the streaming service. i think more and more, you're going to see some movies released in cinemas, but not all of them. and it doesn't mean that it's not worthy of cinema releases, just means it's going straight to streaming. let's talk about red rocket now. which is kind of a comedy drama, a washed up veteran male adult film performer, otherwise known as a former porn star, i guess. yes, nicely handled. this is directed by sean baker who did tangerine and the florida project. simon rex is mikey sabre who comes back from la where he has been working to texas city. he bangs on the door of his wife, somehow manages to fandango his way back into the house and sets himself up dealing marijuana and then sets about trying to persuade trying to persuade a 17—year—old who he meets at the local doughnut hall to come and work with him in the adult film industry. she's about to be 18. the film was inspired by, sean baker met a number of people when he making a previous film, people called "suitcase pimps". these are basically men

who live off female talent. what sean baker said was when he met them, they were kind of charming and gregarious and the minute you're away from them, you realise, they're kind of terrible people and say some terrible things and do some terrible things. what's really interesting about red rocket is, it's a film that, it's not overtlyjudgemental. you meet this character at first, he's funny and intriguing and then you realise that he is completely selfish in everything he does. he takes no responsibility for anything he does. he thinks only about his own life. meanwhile in the background, it's 2016, trump is meanwhile in the background, it's 2016, trump is on the television and there maga posters everywhere and i think the film makes very clear what it's stance is for what's clever about it is, you find yourself laughing at the beginning and then that laughter becomes very, very uneasy, very, very queasy as you find out, i think sean baker, this character who was initially charming is actually pretty toxic. so, it's a very interesting drama. i think some people will find it very

uncomfortable. i was surprised in the screening i was in, people kept laughing long beyond what i thought was funny. so, it's up to each viewer to make theirjudgment on it. it is very well deserved. let's talk about great freedom. this is in postwar germany. not freedom for everybody, even though germany has been liberated. the for everybody, even though germany has been liberated.— has been liberated. the title is dee - l has been liberated. the title is deeply ironic _ has been liberated. the title is deeply ironic. it _ has been liberated. the title is deeply ironic. it was _ has been liberated. the title is deeply ironic. it was austria's. deeply ironic. it was austria's submission that won the jury prize where was also nominated. being sent to prison for being gay because of the law at that point. and the story moves backwards and forwards in time between 1945 and 1969, the moon landings and the change of the law. and we find out that he has spent an awful lot of his time in prison. here's a clip.

so, he has been in and out of prison and during that, he has befriended victor who use of the end of the clip. and i thought it was really, really quite profound. it does that thing that some of the best drummers do. it takes a personal situation in a personal story and this historical sweep, it's about legal status of

sexuality in the way in which a character's or empathic flicks the changing nature of the world around them. it's also very moving, beautifully shot. and at the centre of it is this electrifying performance which is very vulnerable, very engaging, very, very understated. i think with them trauma manages to do as it makes the specific universal. you can watch this and you can find a universal truth and the specifics of the story. i thought it was really moving. it's in cinemas, it's worth seeing in cinemas and get it will be in the service in may. if you see it in the service in may. if you see it in cinema because the cinematography deserves a darkened auditorium to really appreciate it. well worth seeing. a, really appreciate it. well worth seeina. �* ., . . ~ . seeing. a movie that we talked about last week. seeing. a movie that we talked about last week- this _

sci—fi and travelling thing. fran reynolds, is coming back to the past because he lost his wife, he crash lands in the present previous 12—year—old self and so, a bit of close encounters, bitter vt, 12—year—old self and so, a bit of close encounters, bittervt, back 12—year—old self and so, a bit of close encounters, bitter vt, back to the future, stranger things. but what makes it works is ryan reynolds who does that thing, he meets his 12—year—old self played by young actor who brilliantly does an impression of ryan reynolds playing the character. and so, he has of the sci—fi stuff, he's got spectacular set pieces and what i like is, the central conceit of him meeting his 12—year—old self and fighting his 12—year—old self and fighting his 12—year—old self and sing them really annoying. and this is directed by the same guy who worked with him on free guy. it's a mashup of things that you have seen before. it's kind of entertaining. it's a friday night film, you know. you're
