Starring Oscar Isaac, Gal Gadot, Gerard Butler, John Malkovich, Louis Cancelmi, Sabrina Impacciatore, Benjamin Clementine, Martin Scorsese. No cert, Netflix, 153 minIn common with Nick Tosches’s source novel, Schnabel’s odd film follows a version of the author, played by Oscar Isaac, after he is drawn into a plot involving an alleged original copy of Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. Isaac also portrays Dante in a parallel historical storyline that depicts the poet’s struggles with exile, faith and creation. A lost manuscript? A tortured artist? Organised crime? Sadly, the film struggles to turn these many, many elements into anything coherent. What instead emerges is an overextended, pompous drama that confuses scope for depth. A-list cast, mind you. TB Full review Supergirl ★★☆☆☆Directed by Craig Gillespie. Starring Milly Alcock, Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, David Corenswet, Jason Momoa. 12A cert, gen release, 107 minThis summer romp is more endurable than James Gunn’s nauseating 2025 take on Superman, but most things that don’t give you pleurisy can reasonably make that claim. A fair bit of the spin-off’s tolerability is down to a spirited performance by the Australian good egg Milly Alcock as the titular Kryptonian: boozy, irreverent, profane. Sadly, this remains a shamelessly minor work without a single fresh idea in its head. The villains are straight out of Mad Max. The set dressing is from Star Wars. The fight sequences are scored to blaring rock in the style of a Matthew Vaughn film. DC Full reviewJackass: Best and Last ★★☆☆☆Directed by Jeff Tremaine. Starring Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Wee Man, Dave England, Danger Ehren, Preston Lacy. 16 cert, gen release, 100 minTired entry to the prankster franchise that sees the middle-aged gang structuring stunts around colonoscopies and prostate exams. Both are suitably disgusting, and both generate the expected whoops of laughter from cast and crew, but this is essentially the same joke repeated. Are they next going to test for scrotal hernias while the patient is on a bungee line or perform thyroidectomies under gunfire? No spoilers from us. Too much of the rest is taken up with repeats of classics from the past: the brawling little people; air-horn at the golf course. Time to move on. DC Full reviewBlue Heron ★★★★☆Directed by Sophy Romvari. Starring Eylul Guven, Amy Zimmer. Ádám Tompa, Iringó Réti. No cert, limited release, 91 minRomvari’s debut feature is a twisty, semi-autobiographical drama about memory, family and loss, centred on a Hungarian immigrant family who relocate to Vancouver Island, in Canada, in the late 1990s. It belongs to the same ingenuous tradition of cinematic autofiction that gave us Planet Janet and Tarnation. Unfolding largely through the perspective of eight-year-old Sasha (Guven) – a surrogate for the writer-director – the film recalls a childhood shaped by the increasingly troubling behaviour of her older half-brother. Anchored by strong performances, it is a surgically precise and poignant exploration of how families mythologise and editorialise the pain away. TB Full reviewIN THIS SECTION
