Calvary (15)
(John Michael McDonagh, 2014, Ire) Brendan Gleeson, Chris O'Dowd, Kelly Reilly, Dylan Moran, M Emmet Walsh. 101 mins
McDonagh crafts a cracking thriller that's both comical and spiritual, distinctively Irish but in no way oblivious to its country's flaws. Gleeson bears the film, and the cross, magnificently. His small-town priest is informed he'll be murdered in a week's time. He knows who's going to do it, but we don't. The potential suspects reflect a society shattered by faith, and lack of it.
The Raid 2 (18)
(Gareth Jones, 2014, Ind/US) Iko Uwais, Arifin Putra, Tio Pakusadewo. 150 mins
Anyone wanting more after the original Indonesian gangster epic is guaranteed to get it here: more budget, more action, more story. It's exhilarating, exhausting and excessive.
Khumba: A Zebra's Tale (U)
(Anthony Silverston, 2013, SA) Jake T Austin, Liam Neeson, Steve Buscemi. 85 mins
Animated tale about a zebra who's different – but, ironically, it fails to stand out from the pack.
The Quiet Ones (15)
(John Pogue, 2014, US) Jared Harris, Sam Claflin, Olivia Cooke. 98 mins
Appropriately retro horror from Hammer, in which Harris's 70s academic seeks scientific explanations, and applications, for Cooke's apparent possession.
Pioneer (15)
(Erik Skjoldbjærg, 2013, Nor/Ger/Swe/Fra/Fin) Aksel Hennie, Wes Bentley, Stephen Lang. 111 mins
The 1980s North Sea oil boom is the setting for this paranoid thriller, set for a George Clooney remake. A fatal accident leaves Hennie's diver doubting his Norwegian and American colleagues, and his sanity.
The Lunchbox (PG)
(Ritesh Batra, 2013, Ind) Irrfan Khan, Nimrat Kaur, Denzil Smith. 105 mins
A misdelivered lunchbox leads to an intimate, anonymous connection in this generous Mumbai story, carried by charming performers and mouthwatering food porn.
The Strange Colour Of Your Body's Tears (18)
(Hélène Cattet, Bruno Forzani, 2013, Fra) Klaus Tange, Ursula Bedena, Joe Koener. 99 mins
Another exercise in aestheticised dream-horror from the makers of Amer, though the flimsy, fragmented plot leaves it little more than an exercise.
Half Of A Yellow Sun (15)
(Biyi Bandele, 2013, Nig/UK) Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton, John Boyega. 111 mins
Nigeria almost gets its Gone With The Wind, with a handsome melodrama viewing the Biafra conflict through the eyes of two sisters. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's novel is condensed, though.
The Last Days On Mars (15)
(Ruairi Robinson, 2013, UK/Ire) Liev Schreiber, Olivia Williams, Romola Garai. 98 mins
Life and death on Mars in a thriller that has the ingredients of a good sci-fi movie, mainly because it's borrowed them from other good sci-fi movies.
The King And The Mockingbird (U)
(Paul Grimault, 1980, Fra) Jean Martin, Raymond Bussières, Pascal Mazzotti. 84 mins
Animated fairytale whose influence can be seen in the works of Hayao Miyazaki.
