The Banshee Labyrinth, Edinburgh
Le Havre
Date Location
(4 stars) In the dismal seaport of Le Havre, elderly shoe-shiner Marcel (Wilms) attempts to help a young African immigrant boy to cross the Channel to a better life. Kaurismaki’s inimitable sense of grim comedy is as sharp as ever, and the glorious Technicolor style bestows dignity on his beloved underclass.

Jo Nesbo's Headhunters (Hodejegerne)
Date Location
(4 stars) Roger (Hennie) is a successful headhunter living beyond his means, who supplements his income with a double life as a gentleman thief, until one of his victims (Coster-Waldau) fights back. Tyldum's adaptation of Jo Nesbo's novel is somewhere between a Road Runner cartoon and a Coen Brothers thriller: breathlessly, outrageously entertaining.

Monsieur Lazhar
Date Location
(4 stars) When a popular teacher in a Montreal school commits suicide, Algerian immigrant Bachir Lazhar (Fellag) replaces her, but the grieving pupils don't suspect his own struggles with family tragedy and imminent deportation. Director Falardeau's sensitive approach, and beguiling performances from Fellag and the children, have earned an Oscar nomination. An unexpected charmer.

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.

The Raid
Date Location
(4 stars) An Indonesian SWAT team storms a Jakarta tower block intending to take down crime lord Tama (Sahetapy), but finds itself trapped. About as good a film as you can make about men repeatedly punching each other in the face; Evans' low-budget, high-impact approach has enormous gusto and ingenuity.

Scott Myles: This Production

This Must be the Place
Date Location
(4 stars) Reclusive rock star Cheyenne (Penn) goes in search of the SS officer who humiliated his father at Auschwitz. A weird and sometimes wonderful mixture of road movie and revenge drama from the director of Il Divo, with a fearlessly idiosyncratic but endearing performance from Penn, superb visuals and a great score.

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.

All in Good Time
Date Location
(3 stars) East is East writer Ayub Khan-Din adapts his own play (itself based on a story by Bill Naughton) about a British-Asian newly-married couple (Ritchie, Karan) whose intrusive family continually hinders them from having sex for the first time. Despite some unnecessary backstory it's sweet-natured and funny, with excellent performances.

30 May 7pm Odeon Leeds-Bradford, Bradford
American Reunion
Date Location
(3 stars) The American Pie gang have a 13-year reunion and contemplate some familiar problems about love, sex and intimacy. A fun nostalgia trip that rates the heart as important as the other bodily parts; the original cast are as likable (or not) as ever. Nothing very revelatory but plenty of laughs.

Dark Shadows
Date Location
(3 stars) 18th century vampire Barnabas Collins (Depp) escapes from his coffin to find himself in Maine in 1972. It's fun, thanks to a smart script and plenty of surreal humour; Burton regulars Depp and Bonham-Carter are a hoot, but Moretz and Green could have used more restraint.

Delicacy (La délicatesse)
Date Location
(3 stars) Recently widowed Nathalie (Tautou) contemplates a union with clumsy workmate Markus (Damiens). Perhaps only French cinema values beauty so highly that an entire film can be drawn out of the prospect of a not-that-good-looking man getting it on with Audrey Tautou; despite considerable charm, there’s little else to hold on to.

30 May 7.30pm Robert Burns Centre Film Theatre, Dumfries
The Dictator
Date Location
(3 stars) Admiral General Aladeen (Cohen) is the titular dictator: a sexist, racist, fascist pig with a penchant for execution, who during a trip to the UN is betrayed by his right-hand man (Kingsley). The jokes come thick, fast and obvious but despite moments of solid satire it feels a bit stale.

Even the Rain
Date Location
(3 stars) Film director Sebastian (Bernal, bland) arrives in Bolivia to make an epic on the life of Columbus, but is so focused on history that he fails to appreciate present injustices. Laverty and Bolain's well-intentioned drama is heavy-handed, but there are enough touching moments to make it worthwhile.

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.

Glasgow Film Theatre, Glasgow
Jeff, Who Lives At Home
Date Location
(3 stars) Jeff (Segel) is a sweet-natured thirtyish loser whose brother Pat (Helms) ropes him into tracking Pat's possibly adulterous wife (Greer). Diversion (rather than hilarity) ensues, and the film's tendency to elevate Jeff's charming hopelessness over the values of those awful people with jobs and families feels somewhat disingenuous and pandering.

Moonrise Kingdom
Date Location
(3 stars) When 12-year-old orphan Sam (Gilman) convinces Suzy (Hayward) to run away with him, her parents (Murray, McDormand), the local scoutmaster (Norton), sheriff (Willis) and Social Services (Swinton) are soon in pursuit. Anderson's new movie will delight his fans; others may consider it overlong, whimsical and emotionally lightweight.

Paul Thek: If you don't like this book, you don't like me
Date Location
(3 stars) An exhibition of the fascinating notebooks of American artist Paul Thek (1933–1988), now recognised since an important 2010 retrospective as one of the most imaginative and interesting artists of his generation. Part of Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art.

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists
Date Location
(3 stars) An inept pirate captain (Grant) attempts to win Pirate of the Year competition with the help of a young Charles Darwin (Tennant). Aardman's humour sometimes seems dated but Grant is pleasing, the visuals are enchanting, Staunton's Queen Victoria is a riot and there's much for the whole family to treasure.

Safe
Date Location
(3 stars) Luke Wright (Statham), suicidal ex-cop-turned-cage-fighter, is about to jump in front of a train when he befriends Mei (Chan), Chinese schoolgirl and math genius who knows how to access a fortune. Generic villains and excessive body count can't tarnish Statham's likable machismo and the unstoppable energy of the action scenes. A guilty pleasure.

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.

Titanic
Date Location
(3 stars) Cameron tackles the story of the doomed ocean liner through a touching love story that isn't overwhelmed by the awesome special effects. Rich girl Rose (Winslet) is unhappily engaged to arrogant Cal (Zane) but falls for third-class passenger Jack (DiCaprio). Love blossoms as the ship hits an iceberg in the North Atlantic, conveying both the scale of the disaster and the feeling of claustrophobia as the water rises.

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.

Battleship
Date Location
(2 stars) When aliens invade the waters around Hawaii, wayward naval officer Alex Hopper (Kitsch) must assemble a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits to fight back. Director Berg is a naval buff, so it's disappointing that a chance to refresh the action genre is thrown away in favour of a humdrum alien-invasion plot.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Date Location
(2 stars) Despite an irresistible army of pension-age talent including Dench, Smith and Wilkinson, all on excellent form, this story about a group of unconnected British retirees who come to the titular hotel in Jaipur and find resolution for their various issues and challenges, feels too calculated to offer anything more than disposable entertainment at best, and cheaply manipulative emotional kicks at worst.

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.

Iron Sky
Date Location
(2 stars) Nazis on the moon! In Finland’s first blockbuster, a US lunar expedition discovers a hidden moonbase where Nazis have been hiding since the end of WW II. Shame that Vuorensola’s flat satire and B-movie plotting don’t live up to the inspired premise. For once, a Hollywood remake might be in order.

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.

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.
