FILMS OUT THIS WEEK

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Superman, whose latest incarnation comes flying into cinemas this week. A codependent mother/daughter relationship is disrupted by a stranger in Hot Milk, while the life and work of a groundbreaking gay photographer feature in Hidden Master: The Legacy Of George Platt Lynes, and a man gets more that he bargained for from a phone chatline in Frankie Freako - see our interview with director Steven Kostanski. Meanwhile there are big screen re-releases for con artist thriller Nine Queens and Madonna spectacular Desperately Seeking Susan.

In addition to this, we have a great selection of streaming suggestions in our Stay-at-Home Seven, and you can check out our semi-regular column, Eye For Books.
