The Selfish Giant (15)
(Clio Barnard, 2013, UK) Conner Chapman, Shaun Thomas, Sean Gilder. 91 mins
In the tradition of Kes, or Fish Tank, this offers a child's-eye view of poverty that's too strong for real-life kids of the same age. Despite the fairytale origins, miracles are in short supply in this Bradford suburb, where two drop-out mates scavenge for opportunities. But the balance between harsh realism and mythical lyricism is beautifully struck, and the two leads really are miraculous.
Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa (15)

Old-suited Knoxville and his "grandson" take to the road for Borat-style pranks.
Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 (U)

Blue Jasmine (12A)
(Woody Allen, 2013, Us) Cate Blanchett, Alec Baldwin, Peter Sarsgaard. 98 mins
In the downward trajectory of late-era Allen comes a startling spike to remind us how great he still can be, especially when it comes to women's roles. This show belongs to Blanchett, playing a Manhattan one-percenter brought down to earth. Propped up by alcohol, drugs and her sister, she's an accident that's already happening, and a magnificent, tragicomic creation.

Due out in cinemas this October, It’s a Lot marks the directorial debut of Femi Oyeniran, who’s starred in the likes of Kidulthood, Adulthood, and (the similarly titled, but unrelated) Anuvahood.
The film sees Oyeniran return to the world of the urban British teen comedy, and now a new trailer has debuted online to showcase what we’ve got coming our way a few months down the line.
Shaun’s a lucky boy – growing up he’s had the right education, parents that loved him and he’s never been short of cash. But as he gets older, he finds he doesn’t fit into this world, especially with the self-righteous and entitled kids at his posh private school.
Deliberately deceiving his family, he enrols at his cousin’s college where he discovers an untouched new world of girls, parties and excitement.
Desperate to make a name for himself,...
