hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is anna smith. good to see you. in person again. what have you got from week? i have got fantastic beasts: the secrets of dumbledore. jude law is back in the harry potter prequel and we have got a compartment no 6, a finnish drama set in a train, and finally the outfit, a mafia thriller starring mark rylance. let's start with fantastic beasts. this is the third of what is supposed to be five in the series. the third, yes. i was a big fan of the first one, the second one let me down but this when i think it's an improvement. jude law plays professor dumbledore,

who is falling out big style with this old friend gellert grindelwald played by mads mikkelsen — very well, i thought — and dumbledore assembles a team of magicians, wizards and a muggel to seek down gellert grindelwald and fix everything with many tricks and confusing plans. let's look at a clip of them on the train. right then... i imagine that you're all wondering why you find yourselves here. and, in anticipation of that, dumbledore asks that i convey a message. grindelwald has the ability to see snatches of the future. so we have to assume that he would be able to anticipate what we do before we do it. so if we hope to defeat him, and to save our world, to save your world, jacob, then our best hope is to confuse him. er... excuse me. i'm sorry.

how do you confuse a guy who can see the future? i counter—sight. exactly. the best plan being... or many overlapping plans. that's confusion. it's working on me right now. as you can see you've got some familiar characters, obviously eddie redmayne as newt scamander complete with creatures and you have got a plan of action and the action sort of moves to berlin via britain and then bhutan, so it's quite an action packed film. an adventure. the pace for me in this is a little bit too leisurely. i did enjoy it but i feel like almost every scene could be a few minutes shorter. that was a drawback for me. there one indiana jones sequence which doesn't really work, falls a bit flat, but some of the creatures are adorable. i would caution people taking young children to this because sometimes there is a bit of a bambi flavour, let say to the fate of these creatures, but by and large i think it's got a lot to offer and i enjoyed seeing it on the big screen.

just briefly, if you haven't seen the previous two, would you understand what was going on? i think you could follow it because a basic story is good versus evil. there is a lot of easter eggs for fans of the series and it's probably better to have seen them but you can still appreciate it. the next one is an independent film, a foreign—language film, and doesn't have the most prepossessing of titles, compartment no 6. it tells you where it is set, i suppose. it is set on a train primarily and stars seidi haarla, laura, young finnish woman, travelling through russia on a sleeper and is forced to share a cabin with a barely minor played by yuriy borisov com a fantastic actor, she is basically split up with a girlfriend, she is not in the best place and then she has to say this cabin with someone who she would not choose to put it that way. and to me this has a bit of a lost in translation flavour in that two very different people are thrown together in a foreign country and kind of forced to get along. it's not a romance.

you don't really know where it's going to go but to me it's very, very engaging and quite darkly funny and very observational story of this couple who just have to try to work things out over several days. it had great critical acclaim. it won the grand prix at cannes, getting great reviews. for me, i thoroughly agree, it's something i recommend. i was very drawn to this idea because i do quite like to have to concentrate hard on a film when i go and watch it and to watch something that's rather different, but it almost feels like the fact that it takes so much in a compartment, it could be a stage play. i think because of the movement of the train, and they do get off the train occasionally, it doesn't feel that theatrical. credit to the film—makers, it doesn't feel that way, it feels very vivid. i've been on the trans— siberian and i really related to this, all the little details on the train, i remembered it very vividly and i felt like i was on there with them. you don't have to do not to appreciate the dilemma

of being stuck in a cab with someone you don't really get on with. ultimately, it's quite heart—warming blood giving too much away. it is about notjudging by appearances, and it's about getting to know people really as they are, rather than as you think they are. it's quite gritty and funny at the same time. it sounds like it's got a bit of everything. that's a good combination for me. i don't like things going too schmaltzy and its waves pass that and it's got heart, a kind of quite edgy humour, and yes, some quite, quite strong scenes i would say but ultimately uplifting. how easy will it be to see a film like this? it will be an arthouse cinema, so seek it out. i will do definitely thought that the next one, the outfit. this is a directorial debut for graham moore. he wrote the imitation game and he co—writes this one. this recently opened a glasgow film festival and it stars mark rylance as a mild—mannered tailor in the 1950s in chicago and he has

a quiet life until the mobsters who he makes his money out of come in one night to the shop and let's say eventful things have been happening and he gets drawn into their complicated games. let's have a look at the clip. i'll go with you. no. you're in no shape to be out there. so you want to walk out of here with this tape alone? is that right? that's right. i tell you what... just wait for my pops to get here, you know. then we can all listen to the tape together. we don't have time. what's the big rush? every second the rat - is alive is another second that your father is in danger. gentleman... i know your father, master ritchie. your father would want you both to take a deep breath. now, i'm glad you said that. my father... my father, francis.

it's my father who is in danger, not yours. always brilliant, mark rylance but you mentioned theatrical earlier and actually i think that's the biggest drawback with this film, even though it's very well written, it's a single location and it feels like you're watching a play. it almost felt like i would have enjoyed it more if i'd seen it in the theatre. every time a new character bursts through the door you are expecting a round of applause from the audience. it feels a little bit mannered, but i think there is enough to enjoy in the plotting because there's a lot of twists and turns even if you see them coming you enjoy them. it's difficult with film because you do expect it to be movement, different scenes, almost like a wasted opportunity. i felt like that about glengarry glen ross which was just in an office but i suppose it all comes down to the writing. and the performance. here we have got mark rylance playing an english taylor and he's here we have got mark rylance

playing an english tailor and he's up against those rough mobsters from chicago. that contrast is quite interesting, obviously that dynamic, as you can see from that clip he is elder statesman and actually one up on them in terms of intelligence, so it's about kind of a battle of wits really even though he's displaced from his own community. you have chosen as best out, the novice. it's hard to stop into any particular genre. it's hard to slot that into any particular genre. it is, i'm calling it whiplash with female rowers because it's a story of obsession. it's from writer—director lauren hadaway, a collegiate rower in the usa so knows what it's like to do that. it stars isabelle fuhrman as alex, and she joins the university rowing team and becomes absolutely obsessed with succeeding at this. you don't really know where this is going to go tonally, she is not the best rower, but she is so determined, she's pushing herself so far, she's hurting herself, getting into all sorts of bother, psychologically, so it's fascinating and the tone of the film takes you in directions that you are not

sure where it's going to go so it could be a drama, a horror movie, it could be a thriller. i found the performances and the storyline really gripping and i was really happy to go on a journey with them. did you want to take up rowing? absolutely not, no chance. it's interesting to see women in a sporting setting because it is usually the preserve of men. and to see it in this way, it really shows how tough it is. absolutely, and i think it's brilliant that she's not glamorised in any way, and very realistic character and i thought that was very refreshing and actually filmed around the main obsession often objectify the women but that does not do that. the one which springs to mind i suppose is natalie portman, black swan. an obsessive ballet dancer which had met dark moments. i did love that and just tonally has things in common actually. it's slightly more downbeat, a realist version of it, but if you liked black swan is not a bad comparison. are they well—known, particular, the cast? isabelle fuhrman was in the orphan and she was on hand again

isabelle fuhrman was in the orphan and she was in hunger games so she will be known to some fans of those films. younger viewers definitely will know that. streaming, we can either choose a best dvd or a best streaming and you've for streaming. the eyes of tammy faye. it did well at the oscars recently. it did, jessica chastain won the best actress and it also won for best make—up and hair which, when you see it, you understand why. extraordinary make—up and hair in this and if the story of tammy faye, a tele— evangelist in america, and her husbandjim baker and they got into quite a lot of bother and the story is told in a fairly traditional bio pic kind of way, but it's a fascinating story if you don't know how it pans out which i think a lot of people in this country won't, and ifound it darkly humorous, quite entertaining and a transformative performance from jessica. there is a lot of scandal, financial impropriety, which doesn't sit at all well with that idea of religion but we have seen it on a number of occasions in real life

in the past. i think it's that contrast which propels the drama of this movie and of course that's why the whole thing is incredibly shocking to everyone on screen and watching it. where can people see it? you got to have access to the right platform. disney plus is needed for that one. they do offer some quite good deals. exactly. you could probably get a trial for that and check out the eyes of tammy faye. i recommend it. who else is worth looking out for? andrew garfield as her co—star, another oscar nominee for other things this year, he is fantastic. a tra nsformative performance. i feel like he's on almost everything at the moment, so good for him. you did say it was a good eclectic mix and you are not wrong at all. thank you very much. lovely to have you here. thank you very much. that's it for this week, though. thanks for watching. goodbye.

hello, there. a change of wind direction, a change of fortune with the weather over the next few days. low pressure out in the atlantic is pushing a southerly wind and a blanket of cloud quite literally across the country as we speak. that is going to prevent temperatures from falling below freezing so a frost—free start to monday morning but a rather grey one in places. the breeze will pick up as well and that is going to drive in some showery outbreaks of rain through wales, northern ireland, north west england through the day, western fringes of scotland too. it is going to be pretty windy at times with gusts in excess of 30 miles an hour for many of us, but coming from a southerly direction so in sheltered eastern areas we see the best of the sunshine, temperatures may well peak at 17 degrees, a few degrees up on recent days. warmer still as we move into tuesday but wet with it, some of the rain will be heavy and possibly thundery, with highest temperatures on wednesday of 19 or 20 celsius. that's it, take care.
