The Ciné File: March 2017

Finally: I'm actually seeing foreign films and documentaries as they're released and not years later!

Coming Soon: March 2017

Well, the Oscars last weekend were exciting weren't they?!

Given the hullabaloo surrounding the Best Picture mix up, you'd be forgiven for wanting to go and see La La Land and Moonlight again in March (particularly the latter: it's been rolled out to 200+ more screens this week as a result of the win, so you have no excuse to miss seeing this absolute masterpiece) rather than seeing something new. However, March is full of absolute corkers. Other Oscar nominees are finally hitting UK screens this month, in the form of Elle (Best Actress nominee, Isabelle Huppert) and The Salesman (Best Foreign Film winner). There are also highly anticipated blockbusters - Logan, Kong: Skull Island, and Beauty and the Beast - a horror film that's taken the US by storm, Get Out, and the latest movie from Ben Wheatley, Free Fire (which I saw at the London Film Festival and can confirm is rollicking good fun).

There's truly something for everyone this month, so start planning those cinema trips now...

Transformation Tuesday: Week 139

I said it would take another viewing of The Lego Batman Movie to sort my head out and I was right. Thanks, Batman!

Coming Soon: February 2017

Awards season is pretty spectacular and simultaneously really odd. The films on offer at the moment range from blatant Oscar-bait fully deserving of 5* reviews to awful sequels that really shouldn't have been green-lit for production. As such, cinemas are flooded with films at the moment, with many successful box office hits from January (see, for example: La La Land and Manchester by the Sea) still widely available. However, they'll have to make room for the constant barrage of excellent new content reaching audiences over the next month as February has plenty to offer in terms of astonishingly good new films.

I've already broken my 2017 rule of only highlighting 10 films each month as there are just too many unmissable films out over the next 28 days... oops!
