DVD OF THE WEEK
County Lines (DVD and Blu-ray)
(15, 90 Mins)
Henry Blake's bruising drama combines the poetics of pure cinema with the news-worthy grit of a first-rate documentary. Genuinely powerful viewing.
TV MOVIE OF THE WEEK
I, Tonya (2018)
(15, 119 Mins)
Sun Apr. 18th, 10pm, BBC2
Margot Robbie is dynamite and unsexualised in this literally bare-knuckle biopic about Tonya Harding. Swoons and startles in equal measure.
