FIVE BEST FILMS
Bandslam (PG)
Todd Graff’s uneven but hugely charming tale wonderfully captures not just the emotional havoc of adolescence but its passionate belief in music as a life-changing force. Gaelan Connell stars as the youngster moving to a new high school.
Limited release
Mesrine: Killer Instinct, 15
The stylish, energetic and somewhat amoral first instalment of a two-part biopic of one of France’s most notorious criminals. Vincent Cassel is electrifying in the title role.
Nationwide
Sin Nombre, 15
Part chase thriller, part road movie and part star-crossed teen romance, this Spanish-language film about a young pair travelling through Mexico, with a criminal gang on their tail, is grimly fatalistic and strikingly beautiful at the same time.
Nationwide
Home, 15
An oblique, eerie and very J G Ballardian French fable about the derangement of a family’s psyche caused by their living next to a motorway.
Limited release
The Meerkats, PG
This documentary, narrated by Paul Newman, focuses on a young meerkat’s fight for survival against eagles, cobras, lions and rival gangs of meerkats in the Kalahari.
