FILMS OUT THIS WEEK

Ryan Gosling plays an LAPD officer on the tail of Rick Deckard this week in the eagerly awaited Blade Runner 2049 - see our interview with co-screenwriter Hampton Fancher - while a former US president's media persona is explored in The Reagan Show and there's a modern take on the story of St Anthony in The Ornithologist. A young woman undertakes a strange journey in anime Night Is Short, Walk On Girl and a teenager tries to deal with her dysfunctional family in The Glass Castle. The tale of AA Milne and Winnie the Pooh is dramatised in Goodbye Christopher Robin, Reese Witherspoon stars in romcom Home Again, a secret service strives to save the world in Kingsman: The Golden Circle and a woman unexpectedly grows a tail in Zoology. A criminal seeks redemption in The Marker, a camping trip goes horribly wrong in Killing Ground - we spoke to director Damien Power - and two young Burmese people try to build new lives in The Road To Mandalay. Meanwhile, a young woman is left shaken after saving a life in Daphne and an abusive reverend is out for revenge in Brimstone. The Christchurch Poultry, Bantam, and Pigeon Club is celebrated in documentary Pecking Order and a royal exhibition provides insight into Canaletto And The Art Of Venice, while there's a rerelease for Coen brothers classic Blood Simple. All this, plus we're bringing you coverage of the New York Film Festival, the London Film Festival and the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival.
