Love is All You Need

For fans of: Denmark, The Bridge
Avoid if: Pierce’s good looks don’t appeal
Pierce Brosnan hops over to Italy to star in this Danish-made film about a lonely and quite angry widower and a Danish hairdresser whose husband can’t keep his hands to himself. It turns out (surprise surprise) that their own children are to marry, so the two opposites end up, you know, attracting.

For fans of: Timely movies, conflicting issues
Avoid if: You don’t like conflict
The contemporary subject of fracking is looked at in this Gus Van Sant-directed film that stars Matt Damon, Rosemarie DeWitt, Frances McDormand and John Krasinski. What happens when fracking comes to a rural town? This film looks at the consequences.

Evil Dead
(CieonMovies/YouTube)
For fans of: Evil, dead things, remakes
Avoid if: You’re more into sweetness and light
ANOTHER film heavily inspired by a cult classic, and the fourth installment of the franchise. The trailer looks horrific, but also like there is barely a semblance of a plot to be found. Fans of gorey horror will probably enjoy it despite this.
