FILMS OUT THIS WEEK
Love is in the air this week with Kristen Scott-Thomas' directorial début My Mother's Wedding, and a wedding singer sees one of his songs become a hit in Power Ballad. You still have time to see a bounty hunter and his young apprentice go on an adventure in Star Wars: The Mandalorian And Grogu, while a Hen desperate to nest encounters a human trafficking gang - we spoke with director and co-writer György Pálfi & Zsófia Ruttkay. The Exhibition on Screen team looks at the life and work of Frida Kahlo, and there are big screen rereleases for Reese Witherspoon comedy Legally Blonde and painterly period romance Portrait Of A Lady On Fire - see what star Noémie Merlant told us about it.
In addition to the above, we have a great selection of streaming suggestions in our Stay-at-Home Seven, and there's more to explore in our Eye for books column and podcast.
