A man on the run tries to connect with his son this week in award-winner The Secret Agent, while a couple try an open relationship in Splitsville and a mother finds her life falling apart in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. The origins of the Shaker movement are explored in The Testament Of Ann Lee - read what Mona Fastvold and Amanda Seyfried said about it - a pop star struggles to seize The Moment, and man searches for his missing daughter in Sirât - we spoke with composer Kandgding Ray. A Japanese childhood is remembered in Little Amélie, Porky Pig and Daffy Duck take on aliens in Looney Tunes: The Day The Earth Blew Up, and an Iraqi girl faces a see,ingly impossible challenge in The President's Cake - we spoke with director Hasan Hadi. There's also a rerelease for Heath Ledger hit A Knight's Tale.

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.
