and his wife is preparing for an important dinner party and she hires a young girl called cadi to help her out around the house. and when cadi arrives, she's behaving rather strangely. and, in fact, she's mostly silent. her silence kind of gives every member of the family a chance to almost overshare. let's have a look at a clip.

i'm not scared yet, but i'm thinking i'm going to be. yes, absolutely. it's a stylish, slow burner, as you can see, and intriguing, sets up the characters beautifully. and there's some dark comedy there, as i say, in the way that this woman is kind of paying tribute to her past and feeling a little bit guilty about what they've done with the family farmhouse. they've demolished it basically for this incredibly gleaming, modern home. and she and her husband are up to some pretty shifty business. and then kind of

a lot of guilt comes out when she has memories of her mother. there's a lot about welsh folklore, about the land, about the environment, about our connection to the past, about the dangers of wealth and greed. there's also an element of the seven deadly sins in there. it becomes increasingly kind of dramatic when all four members of the family have dinner guests and things take a bit of a turn, to put it mildly. and it's nicely filmed, isn't it? it looks, visually, it looks really impressive. very crisp, very beautiful. i was with it all the way. it's one of those films where there's more to talk about at the end than there is perhaps to learn. there's definitely a few questions, but if you go away wanting sort of a conversation topic, a conversation starter, then it's a good horror if you can stomach it. all right. 0k. really intriguing, for sure. for sure. what's your second choice this week? so, girls can't surf. obviously an ironic title. this is a documentary from australia about women on the surfing scene in the �*80s and �*90s. this was a time when they

were not being taken seriously, in these kind of renegade rogue days for these women who were absolutely incredibly talented, but they were coming up against a lot of sexism. and this documentary mixes archive footage with modern—day interviews with these amazing women. there are so many great, witty, wonderful women in this film sharing their recollections of the past in a very lively and funny way. it's not a moan fest, you know. they're saying, "0k, we have these challenges, but we have this sisterhood. "we got through it and this is how we got through it." and there's a sense of celebration about how far things have come in the surf scene since then, and the sort of groundwork that these women laid for the women now who finally are getting equal pay when it comes to the competitions. yes, and only very recently getting equal pay. and i watched this thinking, i know nothing about surfing. i've never tried it. am i going to get anything out of this? and i think what's interesting is this feels topical and this is just chance, but i spent the whole film thinking about the lionesses, and thinking about all those conversations we had when they won the euros, about the women who'd gone

before england footballers, other footballers who never got the recognition or the money, and, goodness, i mean, just a parallel story in the world of surfing, just in a different sport. completely. it feels very topical, as you say, by coincidence. but i think that should hopefully give it appeal to people. as you say, i knew very little about surfing, not particularly into it, but this is a human story and it's a story about equality in sport. yes. i mean, there really is some rampant sexism in the early days of that. i think from what i know more than very much more so than in the world of football. but that's to do with the sport as well, isn't it? but really, it's really — it's quite an eye—opening documentary. yes, it's a lot of fun and it's educational. yeah, absolutely. and a french film for number three? yeah, anais in love. this comes from a french female director. it's a romantic comedy. i thoroughly enjoyed this. i'm going to put it out there and say i really, really liked it. very witty, with funny, believable characters i wanted to spend time with. i didn't necessarily love them, but i wanted to spend time

with them a little bit like the recent the worst person in the world. i felt like it's a woman with quite specific personality type. she lives in the moment, completely. she kind of breaks up with her boyfriend, she moves on to an older man, and then she becomes fascinated by this man's partner, emily, who's played by valeria bruni tedeschi. shall we have a look at a clip? absolutely.

i love the dynamic in that scene. i think that's quite typical of the film. there's so much going on, very loaded conversation between these two women, both coming to a little understanding about each other, sussing each other out, and things take a very interesting direction from there, as you know, because you've seen this film. yes, and it did remind me of worst person in the world, which i'm afraid i thought was better than this. but there are things i liked about this a lot and it's really nicely acted, really nicely put together. she's terrific, playing anais. that said, she's quite an annoying character, isn't she, because she's so self—absorbed? life is all about her, and it doesn't matter what impact she has on other people, and she is meant to be 30 in the film. and ijust thought, you know, everyone�*s a bit self—absorbed when they're 20, but really, you're still behaving

like that at 30? so by the end of it, i really wanted to shake her. right, interesting, �*cause i sort of sort of fell for her a bit more as the film went along. initially, she was annoying me and then i realised, i know people like this, and when you're with them, you actually kind of, you know, transfixed by them because they lavish you with all this attention. so i could sort of believe why people were hanging out with her. but, yes, to watch it, you know, with a bit of distance, you can see, yes, she's incredibly selfish. but i do think a little bit more depth is revealed towards the end of the film, and ijust enjoy decoding her character. i just thought it was really fun to do that. yes, you might be right there. you're probably a better person than me because i was easily irritated by her. but i think, yes, you're right that more is revealed by the end. i don't want to say any more than that, because obviously i don't want to do any any plot spoilers. but i suppose if you did know her in real life, she'd be sort of life and soul of the party, and you would invite her to every social gathering you had, and she would be

the social butterfly. so i guess she's kind of fun to have around? yes, and she's shown from a female perspective where i like about this. this is a female writer—director. it's not the kind of manic pixie dream girl trope you see who's very sexualised in films by men. so i liked that about it and it just felt — it rang true to me. it's interesting. it's an interesting watch. it's not my best of the year, but, yeah, there's things to recommend in it. and, so, best out, anyway, this week, anna? nope, jordan peele�*s, again a horror, but with elements of kind of a western, elements of sci—fi, and daniel kaluuya, terrific in the lead role here, as a hollywood rancher who kind of looks over horses. a lot going on in this film, a lot to unpack. it looks fantastic. there's a lot of spectacle. there's a lot about race, social commentary, as always, with jordan peele. it's darkly funny, and there's a lot of things running through it to do with animals and the way that we treat animals. because it's been out for a week now, i'll say some of the films that recalls for me without spoilers but close encounters, jaws, planet of the apes, cloverfield, mars attacks,

the list goes on. knowingly, i think it refers to quite a lot of those and that gives you a bit of a flavour with all the many genres that it's playing with there. i really liked that. its moments of horror are few and far between, but they're strong when they're there. but a lot of the time, it is about following these characters as they see something in the skies and try to document it. mm, sort of wishing every time i see clips of it, i was wishing i was brave enough to watch it because it just looks fantastic. and jordan peele is so interesting. but maybe, maybe by the next time i see you. for anyone who wants to stay in, watch something from the sofa, what's your suggestion? i've got a nice, cosy option for you for this one. so on dvd, downton abbey: a new era, which is just designed to make you feel good, this one. it's set in 1928, and it sees maggie smith's character, dowager violet, inheriting a villa in the south of france. how magical. as you do. so half of them go off to france and have a jolly there. and the other half stay in downton abbey, where a film is being

made, a silent film. and it's all about the new era of the talkies coming in and the very sort of slightly meta storyline of a film being filmed in downton abbey, which leads to some quite amusing storylines. it's sentimental, but you know what it does? it's like the tv series. it does it all really well, you know, itjust works. you can see its manipulations a mile off, but you fall for them. yes. and it's just comforting viewing. you've got to sit down with your family at christmas, watch it. you know what you're going to get. but i guess it delivers it well. it does. and maggie smith delivers well. hilarious. anna, thank you so much. look forward to seeing you next week. that's it for this week. enjoy your cinema going, whatever it is you decide to watch. thanks for being with us. see you next time. bye—bye. hello there. we ended the week with some warm sunshine, but some showers, mainly in the north, close to an area of low pressure. and that same area of low pressure is sitting in the same place for the start of the weekend.

but around the base of it, we've got this weather front thickening, the cloud bringing some rain and some stronger winds as well. ahead of that, with some clear skies in england and wales, it'll be a cooler start on saturday morning, significantly cooler than the previous night in south—eastern parts of england. some sunshine for england and wales, one or two showers pushing across in the morning, ahead of this main band of rain that's heavy for a while, accompanied by some strong and gusty winds, sweeping away from scotland and northern ireland followed by sunshine and a few showers. that rain band is quite narrow, but it could be quite heavy rain as it gets stuck in northern england. elsewhere for england and wales, some sunny spells, just one or two showers, but most places will be dry. and temperatures very similar to what we had on friday, so getting up to the mid—20s at best. that area of low pressure will keep the showers going into the first part of the night. across scotland, another area of low pressure moving very slowly in from the atlantic will push a lot of cloud ahead of it. it means the sunnier skies probably further north this time on sunday. those showers easing in scotland. sunny spells here, some sunshine for northern ireland, the far north of england

for a while. other parts of england and wales probably turning more cloudy, the cloud thickening to give a bit of rain and drizzle, mostly for western wales and south—west england, where temperatures will struggle to around 20 degrees. once again, we're 18 or 19 for scotland and northern ireland. the cloud continues to thicken on sunday night. we start to see a bit more rain proper coming in from the atlantic as that low pressure heads in from the west. having said that, there will be little or no rain for northern parts of scotland, some patchy rain elsewhere, the odd heavier burst for a while. nothing particularly organised, mind you. and some western areas should turn drier and brighter through the afternoon. temperature—wise, making 23 again across southern england and south wales and 18 in the central belt of scotland. now, into next week, this is where the jet stream is going to be positioned. it may start to buckle a little bit, but it does mean that any warm air is stuck in the south—east of england, confined to the south—east, and no heatwave on the way by any means. temperatures near normal for this time of the year. monday looks the wetter day.

after that, it looks mostly dry, and there will be some sunshine from time to time. thanks for watching, and we'll be back soon.
