Marty Supreme is stressful, wildly unpredictable and surprisingly funny. Think Uncut Gems! Timothee Chalamet delivers another fine performance that is sure to snag him more nominations. It's very good, but definitely not the film of the year. In cinemas Friday.

Ella McCay is an old-school, earnest drama starring the delightful Emma Mackey. I enjoyed many things about it (including JLC and Spike Fearn), but it is ultimately uneven, unfocused and unsatisfying. It's a shame because Mackey deserves to be a bigger star.
