FILMS OUT THIS WEEK
An ageing writer tries to reconnect with his offspring this week in & Sons, while a film director has an unexpected experience with a star in Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma. Jason Statham plays a bodyguard framed for murder in Mutiny and stewardesses try to stave off disaster in Drag Race spin-off Stop! That! Train! Three nuns and a bereaved boy go on an adventure this week in Holy Days, and a suburban neighbourhood undergoes a cosmic event in The End Of Oak Street. Plus there are big screen re-releases for Danny Boyle classic Trainspotting and claymation adventures Early Man and The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists.
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.
