At The Movies for Wednesday 7 February 2024

AT THE MOVIES #952  NOT ALL OF US

 

Simon Morris reminds us that opinions are very rarely unanimous and this week is no exception.   Three movies that are likely to divide opinion include a celebrity biopic, a spy thriller with more than its fair share of twists, and a Korean coming of age story.

 

 

Priscilla is the story of the woman behind the legend – Elvis’s child bride Priscilla Presley.  Written and directed by Sofia Coppola (Marie Antoinette) and produced by Priscilla herself.

 

 

 

 

Riceboy sleeps is an oddly-titled award-winning Canadian-Korean production about a solo mother and her child setting up a new life across the Pacific.   Directed by Anthony Shem.

 

 

 

 

And from the man who gave us Kick Ass and Kingsman – producer-director Matthew Vaughn – comes Argylle, a thriller about a spy novelist who comes face to face with her creation.  Stars Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World), Henry Cavill (Man of Steel) and Sam Rockwell (Moon).
