ken loach has taken a simple and straightforward story and pushed it to quite a sophisticated level . the film makes you sit up and think about how we survive , how civilised we are , and how we civilise ourselves . it had me in tears at moments . there was a lot of sniffing around me in the screening room . it’s a tough film and it might spin people out a bit , but i think it’s definitely an important one to see .

so she started carrying out her own research . “i found there are such huge benefits to staying single . women , especially , are more likely to enjoy solitude than men are . single women find being alone is a wonderful time for restoration , creativity and personal growth . and there are so many more opportunities to create the life you want , such as travelling , following your passions and doing meaningful work . ”

overall , though , the women are keen to stress that it’s not necessarily better to be single than coupled up – it’s down to what suits you . “it’s not being in a relationship or being single that will make you happy , it’s what you do within that space that counts , ” advises melanie . “even if you don’t necessarily choose it , it doesn’t mean you’ve ended up with second - best . ”

i think this film is up there with ken loach’s best . it’s powerful and raw , and of all his work i don’t know if i’ve watched something with such an emotional punch . it’s a searingly honest and brutal portrayal of ordinary people living on the breadline . i really admire how un - showy it is : it’s very simplistic in its storytelling and i think that’s the film’s power . i think no other film - maker would want to make a film about these characters . you’d pass daniel blake in the street and not notice him , and yet ken loach has turned the camera round and moved me to tears with it , and made me angry .

in a meticulously researched script written by paul laverty , loach’s collaborator for 20 years , blake , a widower , has had a serious heart attack . what follows are his struggles with the benefits system and his growing friendship with a single parent , katie , and her two children . after two years in a london hostel , katie has been moved 300 miles to newcastle because , allegedly , there is no housing in the capital – a city with 10 , 000 empty homes .

you can sense the overwhelming research that has gone into it : all the form - filling in the jobcentre and that hypocrisy is brilliantly realised . it’s a shocking and important film , because this is the state that a lot of people in the country are in . with everything that’s gone on with brexit , a lot of that was a protest vote . the world of this film is connected to that – it’s a film about austerity . it wears you down as a viewer : you feel like you’re on that journey with daniel , and you feel an overwhelming frustration about his plight . there’s a beautiful line in it that says , “when you lose your self - respect , what have you got ? ” , and i think that’s really what the film is about – identity . and about how no matter who you are or where you come from or how much you earn , that you need to have recognition and a place within this world .

in 1915 , the motion picture supplement published an article headlined “women’s conquest in filmdom” , which said : “one may not name a single vocation in either the artistic or business side of its progress in which women are not conspicuously engaged . in the theatres , in the studios and even in the exchanges where film productions are marketed and released to exhibitors , the fair sex is represented as in no other calling . ”

11 . it took upward of 40 people to film three . with such a simple set and just three dancers wearing one look , you never guess that many hands were on deck .

the women in film finishing fund gives grants to filmmakers working in both short and long formats , in all genres — narrative , documentary , animated and experimental .

during the summer of 1979 , a santa barbara single mom and boardinghouse landlord ( annette bening ) decides the best way she can parent her teenage son ( lucas jade zumann ) is to enlist her young tenants - a quirky punk photographer ( greta gerwig ) , a mellow handyman ( billy crudup ) and her son ' s shrewd best friend ( elle fanning ) - to serve as role models in a changing world .

the film , which he directed with charlie siskel , is absorbing , touching and satisfyingly enjoyable because maier was a fascinating , poignant and somewhat enigmatic woman . as the title suggests , the filmmakers take up mr . maloof’s search for his mystery woman ( complete with an unnecessary show - and - tell shot of someone typing her name into google ) , framing her as a riddle to be solved . with mr . maloof playing m . c . and sleuth , he and mr . siskel follow much the same arc that runs through the better news accounts about maier . it’s a breezy , perhaps overly tidy narrative ornamented with her work and packed with interviews with some of her old charges and their parents . some of the darker reminiscences are in sharp contrast to the movie’s upbeat tone and relentlessly jaunty music .

the film ' s greatest strength is its specific set of characters . while no big events or personal crises happen , no one seems two - dimensional or thin .

tavares ( brothers arthur , ralph vierra , perry lee , antone and feliciano ) were backstage at a madison square garden show when the bee gees approached them with more than a woman and said they thought it would make a good cover for them . and they weren ' t wrong - this version charted at number 32 on the us billboard hot 100 and number seven on the uk singles chart .

i don’t feel the film was over the top at all . if anything , i think they were a bit kind to the dwp . obviously there are decent people who work there ; it’s just that they’re so constrained by red tape and automatic responses . as the film shows , as soon as anybody tries to step outside of the regime to be helpful , they’re penalised for it .

if there’s such a thing as a wild ride into the heart of darkness , this is it .

synopsis : frank and michael explore a beach , a diner , and contrasting perspectives on life after a night out on the town in this philosophical comedy .

it makes me want to go and find a big wall and project this film on to it so as many people as possible see it . it needs to be shown in the house of commons and i’m going to start a petition to get it shown on the bbc .

2 . the iconic single ladies dance is not a beyoncé original . gatson admits it ' s based on a dance performed on the ed sullivan show in 1969 . " me and beyoncé saw it , and we thought , ' wouldn ' t it be great to modernize this ? ' " he says . the two videos ' resemblance is uncanny :

while warner bros . made a swift decision this week to hire patty jenkins as its new “wonder woman” director , industry insiders are still chattering about why original helmer michelle maclaren suddenly vanished from the project . the studio is declining to elaborate on the cliched “creative differences” joint statement that was issued when the two parted [ … ]

not all single women are on their own out of choice , of course – some simply haven’t met someone they want to commit to . melanie , 53 , a lawyer at a publishing firm , always envisaged herself settling down with someone because – unlike bella or helen – she knew she wanted children . “the pressure was on me to find a relationship so that i could be a mother . however , i never found one that i felt was worth sticking with in order to have a child , ” she recalls .

let’s start with the obvious . if the plot of a will smith movie sounds kind of like seven pounds , you know trouble is a - brewin’ . seven pounds is , of course , the movie where a grief - stricken will smith commits suicide by sharing a bathtub with a jellyfish . in that film , sad will smith spends the entire runtime atoning for killing someone while driving and texting . it’s po - faced , grim and dull . just like collateral beauty it has a needlessly convoluted plot .

i thought the film was very moving . it was good at showing how difficult life can be when you don’t have any income , and how not having money is really debilitating , to the point where it makes you sick . it’s interesting to see the film against the backdrop of this neoliberal society , where money is seen as the thing to strive for and build your ambitions around . the film seems to suggest that those hopes and ambitions which you can’t buy , which don’t relate to money , are not lauded or appreciated enough in our society .

the documentary nods in the direction of some rich issues , including who gets to sanctify work as art , and why . it’s a thread that has additional resonance , given that everyone’s a critic on the internet , which is where maier’s work was not just first publicly seen but also anointed . there’s another undercurrent here about her status as an artist ( partly because she didn’t formally study art ) and even questions about photography’s status as an art ( a hoary theme that emerges because she didn’t print all of her own work ) . time and professional pronouncements will decide if she was an outsider artist or just an unorthodox one who , as a single 20th - century woman , found freedom , her voice and her own private bohemia while under cover of other people’s bourgeois domesticity .

it’s not even a real fantasy film ! it’s someone making will smith think he’s in a fantasy film . that extra layer of artifice is not necessary , and actually harmful to your ability to enjoy collateral beauty . as every negative review has pointed out about this movie , this might be the cruelest trick ever played on a grieving fictional character in the history of drama . but it gets worse ! big willie styles starts going to a grief support group and falls for the head of the group , played by naomie harris . this is going to completely ruin this movie if you have some sick notion of seeing it , so fair warning .
