:00:00. > :00:00.crescendo, and find out why Serena Williams has been feeling as sick as
:00:07. > :00:07.a dog. That fund sports day at 6:30pm. Now it is time for The Film
:00:08. > :00:19.Review. Hello and welcome to
:00:20. > :00:21.The Film Review on BBC News. To take us through this week's
:00:22. > :00:32.cinema releases is Mark Kermode. We have Mustang which was nominated
:00:33. > :00:37.for Best foreign language film earlier on this year. We have
:00:38. > :00:49.Everybody Wants Some, a new film by Richard Linklater. And Green room, a
:00:50. > :00:53.horror thriller from the director of Blue Ruin. Mustang centres on a
:00:54. > :00:57.group of Turkish sisters who are confined to their house by their
:00:58. > :01:02.uncle. He turned their home into what the voice-over describes as a
:01:03. > :01:06.wife factory, preventing their education. The girls of vibrant
:01:07. > :01:11.untameable spirits and don't want to be contained. They find ways of
:01:12. > :01:15.working around this repression. In one sequence, they sneak out of the
:01:16. > :01:19.house to go and see a football match from which male spectators have been
:01:20. > :01:23.banned for bad behaviour. They look like they have got away with it but
:01:24. > :01:24.unfortunately the TV cameras are there. Which means their uncle might
:01:25. > :02:50.find out. I haven't seen this but I'm hooked
:02:51. > :02:54.on that. What's terrific, although it has those moments of vibrant
:02:55. > :02:58.comedy, it also deals with very dark subject matter, with the removal of
:02:59. > :03:05.women's rights, with what happens to the girls and what it's like to be
:03:06. > :03:09.in that kind of confinement. Like Girlhood, it is directed with
:03:10. > :03:13.compassion and empathy for the five characters who are just to rhetoric.
:03:14. > :03:17.It was one of those films in which in the beginning you see their
:03:18. > :03:21.freedom, them being outdoors and being around in the world and then
:03:22. > :03:27.you see their world being reduced around them, until they end up being
:03:28. > :03:31.shot inside. I thought it was really terrific. Although it deals with a
:03:32. > :03:38.difficult subject, it does so in a way that is very life affirming. And
:03:39. > :03:44.really enjoyable, really well played and really sensitively directed.
:03:45. > :03:50.Will people get a chance to see it? You can stream it. It is playing. It
:03:51. > :03:55.is a film that's really worth finding. A lot of people will be
:03:56. > :04:03.waiting for Everybody Wants Some by Richard Linklater. The! 'S come from
:04:04. > :04:17.the title of the film. This is the spiritual successor to Dazed and
:04:18. > :04:22.Confused. It is played out in a no man's land. It's got all the period
:04:23. > :04:27.detail. Also as you would expect from Linklater brilliant use of
:04:28. > :04:32.music starting off with my shoe rain and working through disco and a bit
:04:33. > :04:36.of new wave. My problem is this. The people on screen mean almost nothing
:04:37. > :04:40.to me. Richard Linklater feels nostalgic for them but to me they
:04:41. > :04:45.are misogynist jocks whose misogyny we are meant to take because hey,
:04:46. > :04:51.they are misogynist jocks and that's fine. Considering his work in films
:04:52. > :04:54.like Boyhood, it is surprisingly to seek a film where there are no
:04:55. > :05:05.three-dimensional female characters and we are expected to play along
:05:06. > :05:10.with the sub porkies... Animal house? At least animal house was
:05:11. > :05:13.what it was. It's quite funny but when Linklater is that his best he
:05:14. > :05:19.touches upon human truths. In the case of this I think he's been
:05:20. > :05:23.blinded by nostalgia. I found no way into it and I ended up admiring the
:05:24. > :05:28.period detail which is the point at which you know the film isn't
:05:29. > :05:35.working for you. Boyhood it ain't by quite some distance. It might be a
:05:36. > :05:38.generational thing. It might be that not everybody feels are sympathetic
:05:39. > :05:45.towards that group of jocks as Linklater. I suspect also the
:05:46. > :05:49.college system portrayed there, the fraternities and sororities, we do
:05:50. > :05:53.have those there. I have seen 5-star reviews from other people. They are
:05:54. > :06:00.wrong but there we go. LAUGHTER Other people are wrong? We never say
:06:01. > :06:05.that! Green rim and neo-Nazis. You remember how much I was impressed by
:06:06. > :06:11.Blue Ruin. This is from the same director, Jeremy Saulnier. This is
:06:12. > :06:18.about characters in the Pacific Northwest, they get offered a gig in
:06:19. > :06:21.a remote place to the beats and braces crowd. The supremacist logos
:06:22. > :06:25.on the wall tells them they are perhaps not going to have the
:06:26. > :06:29.easiest ride. They played a gig and then retired to the green rim where
:06:30. > :06:32.they stumble upon a horrible crime to which they have become
:06:33. > :06:37.inadvertent witnesses and it's clear they are not going anywhere.
:06:38. > :07:16.There has been a stabbing! You didn't lock the door! Don't talk and
:07:17. > :07:23.don't touch them. Stay put. It's fine. Just give me a minute.
:07:24. > :07:30.Something terrible... They are effectively barricaded by themselves
:07:31. > :07:35.into the Green Room by themselves. They are surrounded by these violent
:07:36. > :07:45.hordes. How do they get out? Stylistically it is a mash up
:07:46. > :07:51.between Precinct 13 and Deliverance. The tension which the film builds,
:07:52. > :07:54.and it's really tense, is broken by sudden and random eruptions of
:07:55. > :08:03.violence that were portrayed in a way that reminded me of the early
:08:04. > :08:07.films of Wes Craven. If you have violence on screen it should be
:08:08. > :08:11.shocking. There were some moments when I got out loud as did the rest
:08:12. > :08:15.of the cinema. There's a brilliant performance by Patrick Stewart as
:08:16. > :08:21.the leader of the supremacist mob who has a sinister way of talking
:08:22. > :08:25.quite quietly, and talking almost in a Shakespearean tones, something
:08:26. > :08:32.gentlemanly which makes it all the more terrifying. A brilliant
:08:33. > :08:37.supporting performance by an actor who was great in Blue Ruin. In this
:08:38. > :08:41.he plays Patrick Stewart's underling. Although he's on the
:08:42. > :08:47.wrong side, there's something haunting pathetic about him. What
:08:48. > :08:52.Jeremy Saulnier eight manages to do is make this into a gripping
:08:53. > :08:55.thriller. It is genuinely shocking but also, to constantly remind you
:08:56. > :09:00.that you have to care about the people and you have to feel their
:09:01. > :09:05.pain in order for it to work. It's very intense. One of the great
:09:06. > :09:10.things about the United States is the tribes. There are all these
:09:11. > :09:15.tribes and there really are white supremacists, grunge bangs and
:09:16. > :09:20.punks. And occasionally they rub up against each other. The director did
:09:21. > :09:25.in fact serve time in a punk band so he knows the scene. The music is
:09:26. > :09:31.done very well. Interestingly, the hard-core stuff is also off set by
:09:32. > :09:36.this moody, pulsate in score which minded me of John Carpenter, late
:09:37. > :09:41.1970s vibe. I thought it was really intense. I've seen a lot of horror
:09:42. > :09:47.movies but I was both horrified and thrilled. It's not an easy watch
:09:48. > :09:51.it's a solid watch. Horrified and thrilled the balance. Now your best
:09:52. > :09:59.is fun and school. I've been talking about this for a few weeks. -- son
:10:00. > :10:05.of school. It is set in Auschwitz, it won the foreign-language Oscar.
:10:06. > :10:12.It deals with an unspeakable subject in a way that I think is profoundly
:10:13. > :10:17.moral. Claude Landman said he thinks it has found a way of dealing with
:10:18. > :10:21.the subject. It is a serious, important film. It will take you a
:10:22. > :10:26.long time to recover from but it's really worth seeing because it's a
:10:27. > :10:29.very fine piece of work. And your DVD pick is The Hateful Eight.
:10:30. > :10:35.Watching this particular Tarantino on DVD with useful because you can
:10:36. > :10:40.spin through the first 25 minutes, in my view. The reason I chose it is
:10:41. > :10:49.because I was sniffy in the cinema, because it is too long. At the
:10:50. > :10:52.start. Yes. Once you get into the haberdashery, there are some great
:10:53. > :10:59.performances, Samuel L Jackson is brilliant. There is a wonderful
:11:00. > :11:14.score which lifts rift the Root riffs from ten... So much of it is
:11:15. > :11:17.good but it's a shame there is too much of it. There is a degree of
:11:18. > :11:27.islands. You will find more film news on BBC
:11:28. > :11:32.online. Catch up with our previous shows on I player. That's it for
:11:33. > :11:36.this week, thank you for watching. Enjoy the movies, goodbye.
