Extra Geography review: Nerve-rackingly brilliant boarding-school cringe comedy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Molly Mannersâs auspicious debut feature follows Flic (Marni Duggan) and Minna (Galaxie Clear), two best friends at an English girlsâ boarding school who decide that academic success is not enough: if they really want to impress the Oxbridge authorities, they need to become âworldlyâ. Their solution is to fall in love. Their somewhat deranged plan, inspired by Shakespearean magic, guides them towards their bespectacled geography teacher, Miss Delavigne (Alice Englert). Let the games begi
The Weight review: Ethan Hawke does the heavy lifting in this 1970s-style genre movie (opens the original)
Read excerpt
They donât make movies like The Weight any more. This hoary genre picture, which might have featured on a double bill with Paper Moon or The Sting during Hollywoodâs postclassical zenith, features Ethan Hawke spending much of his screen time bruised, exhausted or flexing under an impossible weight, in keeping with the characterful features of early-1970s cinema. He heads an appropriately grizzled cast for an outdoorsy adventure. The plot shares DNA with William Friedkinâs underappreciated
Daisy Edgar-Jones: âIt was great practice for Sense and Sensibility, all that time in Fermanagh fields with cowsâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Six or seven years ago, Daisy Edgar-Jones, breakout star of the lockdown sensation Normal People, learned the Sligo accent so she could play Marianne, whoâs coming to the end of secondary school there with Connell as Sally Rooneyâs story begins. Today, touching down in Dublin for the Irish premiere of a new take on Jane Austenâs Sense and Sensibility, the English actor is doing a decent approximation of Ruairà McSorley, the Derry lad known to TikTokers as #frostbitboy. She mulls over the
Stupid August review: Irish film marries Charlie Chaplin with an analysis of nefarious alliances (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The setting is 1960s Ireland, but the iris shots, maps with animated arrows and entirely silent, intertitled sequences are rooted in the cinema of the early 20th century. Stupid August, funded by the Arts Council of Irelandâs Authored Works programme, is about an exiled âworld clownâ whose âleft-wing politics have recently caused controversyâ. He remains a welcome figure as he holidays on the west coast. Characters are introduced swiftly in vignettes â the Nazi commando, the governme
The Lost Children of Tuam review: Historical evils lurk beneath a muted surface (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Frank Berryâs naturalistic, observational and socially grounded style, shaped by a painstaking approach and rooted in community psychology, has produced such powerful films as I Used to Live Here, Michael Inside and Aisha. Itâs hard to think of a better fit for a dramatic reconstruction of Catherine Corlessâs equally meticulous and historical investigation into the former St Maryâs mother-and-baby home in Tuam, Co Galway. The Lost Children of Tuam frames Corlessâs extraordinary work ag
