Coming Soon: June 2017

There are significantly more films on my 'to-watch' list this month than I anticipated, and as such narrowing it down to around 10 was pretty challenging... I've ignored most of the obvious ones and just highlighted those that may have slipped under your/my radar!

As ever, all films below are released in cinemas in June 2017 in the U.K.: some may have already opened abroad so if you're outside the U.K. then do check your local cinemas for film times and release dates.

Okay so firstly, I've seen Wonder Woman and think it was one of the greatest films I've ever seen (not kidding) so implore you to run and watch it as soon as possible. Seriously: it's incredible. I'm so excited to see Baby Driver and A Man Called Ove, and I think Risk looks so interesting. It's going to be a good month!
