MaryAnn’s quick take… A wonderful portrait of life in a harsh, lonely place, and of romance as a prompt for personal growth and changing traditions. Raises the bar for British indies. I’m “biast” (pro): nothing
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
God’s Own Country is being called “a Yorkshire Brokeback Mountain,” but I don’t think that’s fair to either movie. Yes, Country has a gay male protagonist, a gay relationship figures into the plot, and it’s set in a rural landscape. But this isn’t a story in which being gay is an obstacle to be overcome: no one seems to care or even much notice that young farmer Johnny (Josh O’Connor: Florence Foster Jenkins, The Program) likes guys. (Could that possibly be true in real-life Yorkshire farming communities? How marvelous if it were.

MaryAnn’s quick take… Covers ground — the lives of black teen girls — that mostly goes unexamined onscreen. It couldn’t be fresher or more important. It’s also wildly entertaining. I’m “biast” (pro): I’m desperate for movies about girls and women
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
Forget those silly Step Up movies. Even though they are set in the world of hip-hop street-dance competitions that are primarily an “urban” — read: black — phenomenon, they manage to focus almost entirely on white characters. Instead, here’s Step, which is literally the real thing. Hugely cheering and cheer-worthy, this documentary look at a high-school girls’ step team covers so much ground that unforgivably goes mostly unexamined onscreen: it couldn’t be fresher or more important. It’s also wildly entertaining while simultaneously enormously enlightening.
Movies about at-risk boys are plentiful.

Marvel Studios have revealed a first look poster and teaser trailer for the hugely anticipated movie Black Panther.
Related: Black Panther News
The poster depicts Chadwick Boseman dressed in his Black Panther suit sat upon a very futuristic looking throne. In the comics, Black Panther is particularly notable for being the historic first black superhero. The very feel of the poster has Boseman oozing authority and superiority, he certainly is King of his Castle.
The film is directed by Fruitvale Station’s Ryan Coogler from a screenplay by himself and Joe Robert Cole. The film takes place after the events of Captain America: Civil War, which introduced Boseman’s T’Challa. The new King faces off against Michael B. Jordan’s villain Killmonger.

Exclusive: Yorkshire-set drama will have its European premiere at the Berlinale.
Picturehouse Entertainment has acquired Sundance buzz title God’s Own Country for the UK.

God’s Own Country stars former Screen Star of Tomorrow Josh O’Connor as a solitary young sheep farmer who numbs his daily frustrations with binge drinking and casual sex.

Like many of Marvel Studio’s superheroes, Black Panther is one that could have been ruined by his execution in Captain America: Civil War. To get audiences to respond to a man who dressed up as — and fights like — a cat was bound to be difficult in a world that hops between sci-fi and grounded hyper-realism. Would Black Panther come across as intended, or would he look silly and campy in this universe of high-tech supers?
The result was a joy to watch. His fighting style was vicious, his costume amazingly faithful — and yet very practical. Better still was the character arc they managed to put in that film. On the heels of his father’s death, T’Challa was hell-bent on getting revenge. It was only after seeing the Avengers get torn apart that he realized the errors of his thinking.

On the heels of his father’s death, T’Challa was hell-bent on getting revenge. It was only after seeing the Avengers get torn apart that he realized the errors of his thinking.

I recently saw that Mondo is planning to release a vinyl version of the score for Ryan Coogler's Creed, which got me thinking about how utterly fantastic that movie is. I was excited to see what Coogler might do with a sequel (which still might happen), but I'm even more pumped to see what he does with Black Panther, the upcoming film from Marvel Studios. The company just sent out a press release stating that production is underway, and reading the cast list for this thing has me grinning bigger and bigger with every name. This cast is so stacked, it's ridiculous. (I'm not sure if I even knew that Forest Whitaker was in this movie, but I know now.) Read the full press release below, which includes what I believe is the first official synopsis of the film:

Identity Agency Group CEO Femi Oguns MBE has warned “there is a storm coming” for those in the UK industry who are unwilling to take adequate steps to improve diversity.
Speaking to Screen as part of an upcoming feature about diversity in the UK film sector, agent Oguns - whose clients include Star Wars actor John Boyega, Roots reboot star Malachi Kirby and Urban Hymn actress Letitia Wright – claimed that black actors are still treated differently in the UK compared to the Us, a trend he believes hurts the UK commercially.
“If you believe in something here, it’s glazed eyes, it’s a smile, it’s ‘cool, that sounds great,’ and it never really goes anywhere,” he told Screen.

Film fests such as the Toronto Int. Film Festival afford us the best of opportunities to get instantly familiar with new faces in the world of cinema. With last week’s The Conversation, I gave you a rundown of the talent behind the camera with the 2015 Tiff Top Ten New Voices. Today, we look back at the best performances from fresh and relatively new crop of actors and actresses. Almost evenly split genderwise, we’ll surely look back on these early performances from these youthful players as the moment where they received their big break and if they’re not familiar now, they surely will be in the coming years. In deliberating this top ten list, I focused on offerings either unique to the festival or near concurrent premieres in Locarno and Venice.

The long-awaited film adaptation of Amis’s slippery story of sex, death and darts becomes a psychedelic British gangster film in the hands of first-time feature director Matthew Cullen – with a cameo by the novelist himself
The spectre of the 2011 London riots haunts the Toronto film festival. News footage of the rioters is included in The Hard Stop, a documentary about the killing of Mark Duggan; Urban Hymn gives us a London looter going straight through song; now Matthew Cullen’s London Fields, an adaptation of the 1989 Martin Amis novel, presents a city “in circles of concentric devastation, with London like a bullseye in the centre of the board”.
The fruity language is Amis’s, delivered, pretty-much wholesale in voice-over by Billy Bob Thornton as tortured writer Samson Young. Terminally-ill and searching for one last story, Young arrives in a London in the grip of a crisis. The streets are...

British films hoping to succeed in the international market must overcome production and distribution roadblocks in an increasingly competitive industry.
That was the message from the ‘Selling UK Films Abroad’ panel discussion co-hosted by Screen International and the UK Trade & Investment (Ukti) agency, held at London House, about how British films are faring abroad.
“You can’t have a weak link in a package anymore,” said Metro Films International CEO Will Machin, who is selling Michael Caton-Jones’ Urban Hymn in Toronto.
Stephen Kelliher, director of Bankside Films, noted that the bar is higher than ever and stated: “The bullseye for what works theatrically, British or not, has gotten smaller and smaller over recent years. You have to be in the top five to ten percent of movies to have any chance of truly working.”
The panel, which was moderated by Screen contributing editor Wendy Mitchell, also included Dasha Sterlikova of Paradise Film, Gianluca Chakra of [link...

Can a Song Save Your Life?: Caton-Jones’ Modest Return to Filmmaking
Scottish film director Michael Caton-Jones had a very prolific filmography in the 1990s thanks to films like Memphis Belle (1990), Rob Roy (1995), and The Jackal (1997). It’s been nearly a decade since he’s tackled a feature film, following the dismally received Basic Instinct 2 in 2006. He’s returned to the UK for Urban Hymn, a modest character study set against the 2011 North London riots. Emotionally effective and featuring a trio of genuinely unfussy performances, the familiar trajectory too often settles for superficial examinations of its characters, hobbling them of the necessary interiority to make them more than one-dimensional archetypes. Despite this, those appreciative of feel-good narratives should take note considering the effortless dynamic of its leading actors.
Jamie (Laetitia Wright) and Leanne (Isabelle Laughland) are two disenfranchised young women in their late teens, orphans with violent histories...
