At the flicksDOME CINEMA

The Journey: Colm Meaney plays Sinn Fein leader Martin McGuinness and Timothy Spall plays loyalist leader Ian Paisley in a reconstruction of how a shared car journey might have gone in the lead-up to Northern Ireland power-sharing talks.

This Beautiful Fantastic: A would-be children’s author must tidy her garden or be evicted. She befriends a gruff neighbour who likes gardening.

Polina: A gifted Bolshoi ballerina falls in love with a French dancer who introduces her to modern dance and world travel.

Despite the Falling Snow: A young woman in post-Stalinist Soviet Union spying for the Americans marries a member of the Kremlin elite to get information, falls in love and plans to defect with him. Thirty years later, he returns to see what happened to her.

ODEON MULTIPLEX

The Big Sick: Romantic comedy based on the real-life courtship of Pakistan-born comedian Kumail Nanjiani and graduate student Emily V. Gordon. Complications ensue. Kumail’s traditional Muslim parents have misgivings, and when Emily has a mystery illness, Kumail must navigate the crisis with her parents (played by Holly Hunter and Ray Romano).

Atomic Blonde: Charlize Theron plays an MI6 spy sent to Berlin on the eve of the Berlin Wall’s collapse to take down an espionage ring that has just killed an agent for no apparent reason. She and the eccentric Berlin station chief (James McAvoy) combine to combat the threat.

Hampstead: Real-life story of a homeless man who built a shack on the edge of London’s Hampstead Heath inspired this film. A widow (played by Diane Keaton), struggling to meet her apartment’s service charges, forms a relationship with a tramp (Brendan Gleeson) who has created a well-tended smallholding in the grounds of a disused hospital.

Baby Driver: Baby, a getaway driver with tinnitus, is in deep with the wrong people. Initially driving to pay off a debt, he is coerced into another job that could be the death of him. The soundtrack has been getting plaudits for the way it drives the action on screen, and the action itself is right up there. Edgar Wright film stars Ansel Elgort, Kevin Spacey, Lily James, Jon Hamm and Jamie Foxx.

Dunkirk: Contradictions in the Dunkirk story attracted director Christopher Nolan. It was not a victory, did not involve America, and yet demanded big scale. Unknown actors in lead roles reflect soldiers’ inexperience. Kenneth Branagh, Tom Hardy and Mark Rylance also star. The film used thousands of extras, boats that had been in the real evacuation, and era-appropriate planes for aerial shots.

Spider-Man: Homecoming: Tom Holland is Peter Parker, who develops spider-like abilities after being bitten by a special spider. Michael Keaton is an Everyman type of supercriminal, and Robert Downey Jr also stars as Tony Stark/Iron Man, who mentors Peter Parker in how to be an effective superhero.

War for the Planet of the Apes: Caesar and his apes are forced into conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless colonel.

Despicable Me 3: Gru (Steve Carell) faces off against Balthazar Bratt, a former child star obsessed with the character he played.

Cars 3: Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) sets out to prove he’s still got it.
