Brad Pitt is in the driving seat for the latest action spectacle from US director Joseph Kosinski, with a performance that even got the thumbs up from F1 champion Lewis Hamilton. Film critic Emma Jones tells us why the big-budget movie won her over despite some flaws in the storyline and frequent sightings of F1 sponsors. We also discuss the Nasser brothers’ latest surreal comedy Western, “Once Upon a Time in Gaza”, as the award-winning Palestinian directors return to a quieter time in their home region, via a tale of sandwich-making and illicit substances. Plus we check out British filmmaker Danny Boyle’s long-awaited horror “28 Years Later” and reflect upon the film’s socio-political relevance in a post-Covid, post-Brexit landscape.
