Akira
Date Location
(5 stars) Based on the multi-volume graphic novel by Otomo, Akira is a mythical, futuristic tale of post-holocaust Tokyo, where pill-popping biker kids begin to unearth a government project designed to exploit the psychic and telekinetic powers of a group of laboratory-bound children. Superbly animated, with a fantastic visual and narrative imagination, but you'd be well advised to know something of the plot before you see it.

Fantastic Mr Fox
Date Location
(4 stars) Anderson's inspired choice of stop-motion animation pays off in this beautiful and idiosyncratic adaptation of the well-loved children's tale. While kids may enjoy it, Anderson's typically arch humour is aimed more at their parents, who will also be impressed by the star-studded voice cast – Bill Murray as a badger lawyer anyone?

Wendy and Lucy
Date Location
(4 stars) Twentysomething Wendy (Williams) and her dog Lucy embark on a cross-country road trip from Indiana to find temporary work in a fishing cannery in Alaska. Williams' waif-like physique entirely inhabits the role of Wendy, and through very little dialogue she delivers a pitch performance full of resilience and stoicism. A moving tale from the front line of the zero income demographic.

Albert Nobbs
Date Location
(3 stars) In 1890s Dublin, Albert (Close) is a hardworking waiter in a hotel who has concealed for years the fact that he's really a woman – only to be found out by fellow employee Hubert (McTeer), who is also one. A sad, strange and touching tale, which however never really pays off.

The Lion King

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.

Steel Magnolias
Date Location
(3 stars) The downhome tale of a bevy of southern belles who support each other through weepy tragedy by means of hugs and wisecracks. Loads of local colour and tragedy but you can't help feeling that you've been emotionally manipulated by a bunch of Sindy dolls.

Tales of the Night (Les contes de la nuit)
Date Location
(3 stars) Animated feature in which an elderly writer and a young actress dream up and perform six stories about a young hero's attempts to win the hand of a princess. The old-fashioned imagery is highly distinctive, and the sedate pace and dialogue-heavy storytelling allow the viewer to appreciate the beauty.
