Oh mama. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be very excited to see this Edgar Wright-directed film about five friends who meet up after 20 years to finish the ultimate pub crawl in their home town. Starring not just Simon Pegg and Nick Frost but a whole bevy of amazing UK comedians, it looks rather hilarious indeed.

Avoid if: You prefer fidelity

Wadjda

For fans of: Feminism, women, pushing boundaries
Avoid if: You’re a chauvinistic sort
This film was entirely shot in Saudi Arabia and is the first feature film made by a female Saudi filmmaker, which makes it quite a rare and wonderful thing indeed. Centring on the story of a girl living in Riyadh who wants to buy a bicycle despite societal rules that say it is a dangerous thing for a girl to own, this is boundary-pushing cinema from all angles.
- RottenTomatoes.com critics rating: 100 per cent. Audience rating: 69 per cent want to see.
Life’s a Breeze
(WildcardDistribution/YouTube)
For fans of: D’unbelievables, Irish humour, family
Avoid if: Your family recently chucked out your life savings
A family think they’re doing their elderly grandmother a favour when they decide to clean up her home. But it turns out they’ve done more than just chuck some old mattresses away – they’ve only gone and discarded her life savings. What happens next shows the power of family bonds, and how the Irish spirit can get us through almost anything.
