Film recommendation: The Old Guard

Charlize Theron leads a strong cast in this entertaining, refreshingly modern action fantasy. The summer is usually time for cinema trips blockbuster films – but not this year as most have been delayed and the cinemas are reopening with classics and indie films.

Based on a graphic novel series by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernández, the film follows a group of immortals who work as international mercenaries – and have been doing so across the eras. As they embark on their latest job, they also discover they have a new recruit, Nile (Kiki Layne, so luminous in If Beale Street Could Talk), and their group is in endangered by gatherin...

Film recommendations: Blockers and Hearts Beat Loud

Two light-hearted summer films which cover coming-of-age and parental discoveries, as teens and parents learn to readjust as the younger generation become adults. The sun is shining, the world is opening up a bit, so I’m in the mood for a light and easy, joyous film. Here are two films which are light-hearted summer fun, and both include milestones which so many youngsters are sadly missing this year. In Blockers, three parents (including Leslie Mann and John Cena) discover their daughters’ pact to lose their virginity on Prom night. They shadow the girls to the dance and the drunken after-parties, and do all in their power to prevent what they initially see as a terrible disaster. Fortunately, as they watch the smart daughters, who have a firm friendship and give each other empathic...
