Search: Starring Carey Mulligan

Although we are talking age old themes here – first love, dodgy geezers, questions of class – the material is spectacularly well handled.

I laughed, and was not alone in doing so, out loud, and repeatedly.

In truth, this is yet one more safe retelling of an old favourite. Not radical at all.

Strong leading performances and a handful of beautifully crafted scenes sit sit by side with much clunkier and more derivative material.

Drive is cool. Really cool. In fact this will probably be the coolest film you will see this year.

The pace is slower than a trot

The closer Luhrmann stays to the spirit of Fitzgerald and the more he trusts his cast, the better the result.

The pace may seem deliberate but the Coens obviously want us to uncover the character's layers gently rather than him being delivered ready-made.

Maestro is a starry affair on all fronts.

Both Hedlund and Mitchell deliver strong performances and balance well against one another.

Never Let Me Go arrives trailing a lot of hype and carrying a considerable weight of expectation. Happily, it more than delivers.

This is the first time in ages - perhaps ever - that the hot-blooded delights of a country house ball have been shown to be fun.

Fennell explores the lasting effects of traumatic events with care, never making light of the situation even amid moments of comedy.

Its unreliable geographies, human and physical, make it even more beguiling.

Fassbender and Mulligan burn white hot in the central pairing, their emotional maelstrom magnetic even when no dialogue is used.

It lacks the energy and precision vital to any journalistic investigation, and especially to one taking place under this kind of pressure.

While the lo-fi production design on the spaceship - with its man-made webbing and items from food tins to tools strapped down left right and centre - is absorbing in its detail, there's only so long it can distract you from the film's bloated running time.

All message and no massage

There are loads of characters, tonnes of things going on, and little to no reason to invest.

Landscape and music and everyday objects are used to splendid effect.
