FILM OF THE WEEK
Soul
(PG, 97 Mins)
Pixar's latest is a lovely, jazzy look at life, death and the afterlife. Their best film since 'Inside Out' (2015).
DVD OF THE WEEK
Looted (DVD)
(15, 89 Mins)
British crime flicks about divided loyalties are in hot demand now, but this impressively understated feature-length debut from former shorts director Rene van Pannevis subverts Guy Ritchie-ish mockney gangster tropes with heart and lots of style.
TV MOVIE OF THE WEEK
Slumdog Millionaire (2009)
(15, 120 Mins)
Weds 20th Jan., 11.20pm, Film4
Feelgood film or not, Danny Boyle's movie is a fable of Dickensian social realism and escapist dreams.
