FILMS OUT THIS WEEK
Happy new year! A Neil Diamond tribute act leads to love this week in Song Sung Blue, while a photographer talks about art in Peter Hujar's Day and a 12-year-old boy is torn between bullies and their victim as sinister undercurrents swirl around him in The Plague - see our interview with young stars Everett Blunck & Kayo Martin. Timothée Chalamet plays a young man who dreams of becoming a table tennis champion in Marty Supreme, and two bereaved sisters come into conflict with their filmmaker father in Sentimental Value, and there are big screen rereleases for David Lynch classic Blue Velvet, penguin dance-off Happy Feet and Guillermo Del Toro's tale of a haunted orphanage, The Devil's Backbone.
Plus we have a great selection of streaming suggestions in our Stay-at-Home Seven.
