Hacksaw Ridge is a gripping wartime tribute to faith, valour, and the courage of remaining true to one’s convictions.

‘The Handmaiden’ is a twisty, twisted, psycho-sexual thriller, in which, for all its explicit content, nothing is quite as it appears.

The Lost City of Z’s stately pace and visual grandeur hearken back to classic exploration epics, and Charlie Hunnam turns in a masterful performance as its complex protagonist.

There’s something appealingly old-fashioned about “Their Finest”, a film that recalls with warmth and humour the glory days of British cinema, and includes some lovely acting, particularly from Nighy. It effortlessly combines comedy and wartime drama to crowd-pleasing effect.

“A Monster Calls” is a fantastical children’s tale with grown-up elements that recalls the inventive, imaginative work of directors Guillermo Del Toro or Tim Burton, and is a better movie than either of them have made in years.

Hidden Figures is a soul-stirring and inspirational true story about a group of remarkable women that is both long overdue and incredibly timely.
