    The Last Showgirl

    ★★★★

    The star of Baywatch, Good Cop Bad Cop, and that infamous home video, stars in a ... genuinely brilliant role.

    With Demi Moore in The Substance, and now Pamela Anderson in this, I really hope this is a sign of other stars of yesteryear having a renaissance and a reassessment of their skills. But perhaps it is most damningly seen as an indictment of Hollywood's inability to cast women effectively at their height so that it doesn't have to take this sort of film in the evening of the career to recognise their capacity.

    Utterly bonkers. Had absolutely no idea what was going on. Five stars. Loved every minute.

    This is a very Taika Waititi film. Anyone expect Ragnarok might be disappointed. Anyone expecting the spiritual continuation of Hunt for the Wilderpeople will be in their element.

    Yesterday

    ★★★

    If you're writing a love letter to The Beatles, you need more than love. But Yesterday's conceit is bizarre. I'm not convinced it really works, but it's delightfully told, with winsome actors and, inevitably, a superb soundtrack. It won't change the world: life goes on.
