FILMS OUT THIS WEEK
The one-time friendship of Optimus Prime and Megatron is remembered this week in Transformers One, a woman pursues her supposed true love through multiple lives in Timestalker, and a Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person is on an unusual hunt - see our interview with director Ariane Louis-Seize. Traditional haenyeo fishing is the focus of The Last Of The Sea Women, and a bereaved boy attracts something sinister in Daddy's Head, while professional assassins find themselves pinned down by a sniper in Take Cover - we spoke with star Scott Adkins. Love emerges in the strangest of places in Joker: Folie À Deux, while bank-robbing siblings hope that Things Will Be Different and an actor contends with an altered face in A Different Man. Tensions between pastoralists and white landowners in Kenya are explore in The Battle For Laikipia - we spoke with directors Daphne Matziaraki and Peter Murimi about it. A mute serial killer faces up to his past in The Deserving and there's a new instalment of the popular horror anthology series with V/H/S/Beyond. Plus Gladiator is on re-release.
We also have a great selection of film and streaming suggestions in our Stay-at-Home Seven. Plus read our selection of London Film Festival highlights.
