Claire Foy stars alongside Brendan Gleeson in Philippa Lowthorpe’s beautifully realised and emotionally charged adaptation of Helen MacDonald’s award-winning memoir.

When Cambridge academic Helen’s father dies, the grief sends her spiralling into an abyss. In an effort to process her loss, she retreats from the human world to train a fearsome Northern goshawk. Foy gives an exceptional, career-best performance as Helen, while Charlotte Bruus Christensen’s cinematography and Sarah Finlay’s production design help Lowthorpe access the gravity and emotion of this story.

This energetic, revealing documentary digs into one of pop’s most fascinating reinvention stories, following Paul McCartney as he tries to outrun the shadow of the Beatles and figure out who he is next.

Director Morgan Neville focuses on the turbulent 1970s, beginning with the band’s breakup and tracing McCartney’s uncertain early solo years through to the formation, rise and eventual fracturing of Wings. Newly unearthed archive footage places us inside a period of doubt and determination, from low-key family life with Linda and their children in rural Scotland to chaotic tours, shifting line-ups and unexpected chart triumphs. Along the way, McCartney reflects candidly on creative risk, bruised confidence and the challenge of stepping out from a once-democratic band into an unquestioned leadership role.

Hit-packed musical sequences are balanced with quieter, more vulnerable moments, letting McCartney’s own words shape the story. Former collaborators are given space to offer differing perspectives on Wings, not all of them flattering, which adds welcome texture. The film also approaches the death of John Lennon with sensitivity, thoughtfully contextualising McCartney’s famously misread reaction through fresh testimony.

Intimate without being reverent, it’s an engaging portrait of an artist starting over and finding new freedom along the way.

Event includes a bonus conversation with Paul McCartney & director Morgan Neville, only available in cinemas

Frederick Wiseman’s gastronomic dream of a film captures daily life in one of the world’s most prestigious restaurants.

A joyous portrait of the day-to-day life of one of the world’s finest restaurants. Frederick Wiseman’s most recent documentary offers an absorbing portrait of the esteemed French culinary family Troisgros and their restaurants, including Le Bois sans feuilles, holder of three Michelin stars for 55 years. As third generation restauranteur Michel Troisgros hands over responsibility for the cuisine to his son César, we step inside day-to-day life at one of the world’s best restaurants. From early morning market selection and menu planning, through preparation and service, we stand alongside chefs, suppliers and customers, witnessing in close detail the creation and presentation of food and drink of the highest quality. This process is paralleled by Wiseman’s own artistry and technique, employed here in the service of a subject he clearly relishes.

A bank heist turns into a life-or-death race-against-time in Vernon Sewell’s gripping British ‘B’ thriller, which has been hailed by Tarantino, Scorsese and Edgar Wright.

Taut as a drum, Vernon Sewell’s suspense thriller is an outstanding example of the lean British ‘B’ film. A carefully-planned bank heist goes awry when the robbers are interrupted by the unexpected arrival of two nattering cleaners. The gang lock the manager and his secretary in the airtight vault and make off with the cash, but soon realise that the pair will suffocate and they will face a murder rap if they can’t free them. With only 12 hours’ worth of air in the vault, the clock is ticking. Gripping to the end, the film is a real rediscovery.
