God Help The Girl (15)
God Help The Girl (15)
Belle And Sebastian frontman Stuart Murdoch turns director for this Glasgow-set story about Eve (Emily Browning), a girl who's been hospitalised with some kind of eating disorder and who turns to music as therapy, finding soulmates in aspiring musicians James (Olly Alexander) and Cassie (Hannah Murray). It's essentially a musical - Murdoch also wrote the songs - and, though uneven in parts, it has all the skewiff indie charm you'd expect. It also has one of the best lines of dialogue I've heard recently: "You look nice. I like your knees", delivered by James to Eve when she turns up wearing football kit to the swimming pool where he works.
The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out Of The Window And Disappeared (15)
Charming Swedish comedy about a life well lived, based on Jonas Jonasson's best-selling 2009 novel.
The Naked City (PG)
Blu-Ray edition of the classic 1948 film noir shot on the streets of New York by Jules Dassin, director of equally influential French heist flick Rififi.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
