Sam Claflin, Gemma Aterton and Bill Nighy are the stars of Their Finest, a Lone Schefig-directed drama/comedy/romance set during World War II.
The story focuses on a British film crew tasked with making a propaganda film after the Blitzkrieg to help boost morale.
I’ll be tuning in for the comedy, and to witness the sexism of the times. I’m not quite in the mood for the romance just now, no doubt that’s going to change, I’m certain of it.
The Girl With All The Gifts (2016), Gemma Aterton, Glenn Close
Melanie (Sennia Nanua) is a special young girl. A young girl who’s taken along on a journey of survival with her teacher (Gemma Aterton) and a scientist (Glenn Close).
Directed by Colm McCarthy and set in a dystopian future in what looks like London, England, The Girl With All The Giftsis an adequate zombie movie. It’s not quite the kind you may be expecting in some respects, but it’s worth it to hang in there for the ending, my favourite part.

As for the horror categorisation, I don’t recall getting particularly terrified as I watched, probably because gore isn’t necessarily the core focus of McCarthy’s movie.
The Girl With All The Gifts is a relatively smart zombie film, even though I find the idea of zombies a tad more ridiculous and unreal than the idea of vampires – as odd as that may seem. And yes, I’m also sure I wouldn’t survive a zombie apocalypse.
Watch The Girl With All The Gifts if you’re intrigued enough, and, to find out about the refreshing difference that is the ending.
100 Streets is the new drama starring Idris Elba, Gemma Aterton, Tom Cullen and Franz Drameh.
Directed by Jim O’Hanlon, it’s based in contemporary London, England and focused on the different lives of three people who live within 100 streets of each other.
Considering that none of the characters in this trailer seem to be having a particularly good time, I’m hoping for brighter days for at least one of them.
‘Without our passion, it’s very hard to find our place in the world’ – Already my favourite line in the movie, I’m sure of it!
