TULLY (15) – 2018 USA 95 min

Director: Jason Reitman
Stars: Charlize Theron, Mackenzie Davis, Mark Duplass

If two demanding kids and a switched-off husband have left Marlo (Theron – excellent) tired, then the arrival of number three pushes her into utter exhaustion. She’s resentful of her smug, rich brother’s offer to pay for a “night nanny”, but when Tully (Davis) does become part of Marlo’s life, the effect is transformative. Writer Diablo Cody (Juno) is a mother of two, and her keen eye and ear for family dynamics and school politics creates a funny, “sharply observed but tenderly realised” (Empire) character drama.

ON CHESIL BEACH (15) – 2017 UK 110 min

Image from filmRonan and Howle portray the lovers with subtlety and understatement, backed up by a stellar cast in supporting roles. Beautifully filmed in Oxford, London and on the stark landscape of the beach itself, this is a subtle meditation on confused expectations and lost opportunities.

FUNNY COW (15) – 2017 UK 102 min

Director: Adrian Shergold
Stars: Maxine Peake, Paddy Considine, Stephen Graham

With a “funny bone for a back bone”, a survivor of domestic abuse finds strength through performing, and rises to stardom in the harsh environment of the Northern working men’s clubs. Peake delivers a wonderful synergy of tragedy and comedy, with strong support from Alun Armstrong and decent cameos from John Bishop, Corinne Bailey Rae and Vic Reeves together with a beautiful score by Richard Hawley. Despite its comedic billing, this is often a painful, angry film – but also an empowering British movie.
