D: Saul Dibb (Suite Française, The Duchess).
S: Sam Claflin, Paul Bettany, Asa Butterfield, Stephen Graham, Tom Sturridge, Toby Jones.
Charismatic and sporadically powerful, but says nothing new about 1st World War. Feels like a play.
MY FRIEND DAHMER ★★★½☆
D: Marc Meyers.
S: Anne Heche, Vincent Kartheiser, Ross Lynch, Alex Wolff, Dallas Roberts.
The upsetting formation of Jeffrey Dahmer. Not quite in the same league as WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN.
APRIL’S DAUGHTER (Las Hijas de Abril) ★★★★☆
D: Michel Franco (Chronic, After Lucia).
S: Emma Suárez, Ana Valeria Becerril, Enrique Arrizon, Joanna Larequi.
The heartless and the doormats, with one exception. An excoriating dramatic thriller. What a villain!
