La La Land will catch you off guard, it's a feast for the soul. Forget what you think you know about it.

I will let you know
I quite liked Venus in Fur, which was free on the BBC site. It kept me guessing and the charged sexual tension was very well maintained. It kept me somewhere between intrigued and uneasy throughout.
Trainspotting 2.
If you liked T1 you will love it. I did. Sharp dialogue, great soundtrack and lots of nods to T1. Begby is still menacing, spud is still gormless but it is mostly the Sickboy and Rentboy show.

Lion, not my first choice, but thoroughly engaging, disturbing and emotional.
Five year old Saroo gets lost on a train which takes him thousands of miles across India, away from home and family. Saroo must learn to survive alone in Kolkata, before ultimately being adopted by an Australian couple. Twenty five years later, armed with only a handful of memories, his unwavering determination, and a revolutionary technology known as Google Earth, he sets out to find his lost family and finally return to his first home.

Elle
Any film including Isabelle Huppert - the finest actress of her generation - is of interest but her performance in Elle is riveting. Directed by Paul Verhoeven, Elle is profound and complex and shocking and mesmerising. It lasts 2 hours 10 mins (and 42 seconds) and every minute matters. It is the sort of movie that makes the world you rejoin as you leave the cinema seem dull and mundane and predictably grey. Unforgettable.

Churchill is a worthy film: a tour de force for Brian Cox, well supported by performances of quality and not too long (98 min) for the material.
I saw it today in Pictureville (now Picture House) in Bradford; one of the best equipped cinemas in the world, in cool, air conditioned and isolated splendour.
It deserves a big audience but alas, today, I was the only person in the auditorium.
