FILMS OUT THIS WEEK

An indigenous Australian orphan transforms life in a monastery this week in The New Boy - see our interviews with director Warwick Thornton. Another boy's strange behaviour creates a mystery in Hirokazu kore-eda's Monster, while difficult questions are asked about a fashion legend in documentary High & Low - John Galliano - we spoke with director Kevin Macdonald. Filming a safety at work video becomes unexpectedly complicated in Do Not Expect Too Much Of The End of the World, while a journalist explores the origins of racism in Origin and an extraordinary story from women's footballing history is told in Copa 71. The sandworms are back in Dune: Part Two, and fans of the books can check our additional 'advanced' review, plus there's another chance to see Oscar-winning animation Soul.

We also have a great selection of film and streaming suggestions in our Stay-at-Home Seven, plus a Streaming Spotlight of Palm Springs Film Festival FIPRESCI winners.
