Endless Poetry (15, 128 mins, ★★★)
The New Year is generally a good time to be a cinema lover. Our picture houses suddenly become inundated with heavyweight films vying for attention while the awards season prepares to get going.
Predicted to win big in 2017 is the much-hyped Hollywood-set musical La La Land, which gets its British release on January 17. Out in the same week is Manchester by the Sea, a melancholic drama starring the always brilliant Casey Affleck, followed swiftly by Pablo Larraín’s Jackie Kennedy biopic, called simply Jackie (January 20), and Mel Gibson’s World War II epic Hacksaw Ridge (January 27).
