Goodbye First Love (Un amour de jeunesse)
Date Location
(2 stars) Vain, drippy, lugubrious teenager Camille (Créton) falls in and out of love with dumb puppy Sullivan (Urzendowsky). Lots of nice shots of breasts and landscapes don't alter the fact that this is about unlikable people exchanging faux-profundities. Might work as aversion therapy for people who think they miss being young.

Free Men (Les hommes libres)
Date Location
(3 stars) Younes (Rahim) is a young Algerian working in WW II Paris when the Germans enter; the authorities give him the choice between prison, or spying on a mosque suspected of smuggling out Jews disguised as Muslims. Ferroukhi's film is worthy, but lacks dramatic tension and a properly fleshed-out protagonist.

The Lucky One
Date Location
(2 stars) A US Marine serving in Iraq (Efron, stretching credibility) finds a photo of an unknown blonde beauty (Schilling), credits it with bringing him luck, and after returning home, sets out to find her. The latest adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel is schmaltzy, contrived, unconvincing and empty.

North Sea Texas (Noordzee, Texas)
Date Location
(2 stars) In a small town on the Belgian coast, 15-year-old Pim (Florizoone) falls for floppy-haired Gino (Vergels). It's easy on the eye and features sensitive performances, especially from Florizoone and van der Gucht as his voluptuous mother, but clichéd symbolism and a predictable story rob it of emotional impact.

A Royal Affair
Date Location
(3 stars) In 18th century Denmark, Johann Struensee (Mikkelsen) becomes personal physician to King Christian VII (Folsgaard); but then the unhappily married Queen Caroline (Vikander) starts cavorting with the doctor. The script is enjoyably literate and it's a welcome break from morbid Scandinavian thrillers, but the cast lacks chemistry.

2 Days in New York
Date Location
(3 stars) Marion (Delpy) lives with Mingus (Rock) and their children from previous relationships, and copes with her widowed father (Delpy's own father), cross-cultural misunderstandings and grief for her late mother. This sequel to 2007's 2 Days in Paris is often very funny: Delpy Sr is a joy and Rock is winningly bemused.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Date Location
(3 stars) Oskar (Horn) is a precocious youngster whose father (Hanks) died in the 9/11 attacks; he finds a mysterious key and tries to discover where it fits. Despite radiant cinematography and a striking performance from Horn, it's a contrived tearjerker that is neither as poignant nor as profound as it might like to be.

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
Date Location
(5 stars) In Powell & Pressburger's poignant masterpiece, Clive Candy (Livesey, superb) starts out as a hotheaded Boer War hero and ages 40 years into a portly Home Guard general who keeps falling for the same kind of girl (Kerr, luminous). Spry and delightful after nearly 70 years, it's presented here in a crisp digital restoration.

Le Quai des Brumes (Port of Shadows)
Date Location
(4 stars) In pre-WWII Le Havre, army deserter Jean (Gabin) tries to protect beautiful Nelly (Morgan) from a gang of small-time hoods. The great collaboration between director Carné and poet/screenwriter Prévert begins here; it's dark, bitter, fatalistic and wonderful, and has been given a meticulous and well-deserved digital restoration.

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen
Date Location
(2 stars) A nerdish fisheries expert (McGregor) and a sophisticated legal aide (Blunt) are recruited by an angling-obsessed sheik (Waked) to realize the vision of the title. What worked on the page is an insubstantial muddle on film, thanks to an unfocused script and Hallström’s preference for broad emotions over subtlety and complexity.

The Source (La source des femmes)
Date Location
(3 stars) In a drought-ridden village somewhere between Africa and the Middle East, the men do little while the women are expected to fetch the water in sweltering heat; eventually, Leila (Bekhti) organises a revolt. What could have been a one-dimensional tale deepens into something more considered, told with engaging warmth.

StreetDance 2
Date Location
(2 stars) Eddie (Sampson), Ash (Hentschel) and Eva (Boutella) travel to Paris to study under salsa-master Manu (Conti) in an attempt to out-dance the Invincible crew (Flawless). For all the reverential talk of 'innovation', it's gaudy, badly-acted, cynical nonsense aimed at aspiring teenage dancers, while simultaneously crediting them with one brain-cell each.
