The Mauritanian
Mohamedou Ould Salahi (Tahar Rahim) fights for freedom after being detained without charge by the U.S. Government in Guantanamo Bay. After years in prison, he seeks out new help in defense attorney Nancy Hollander (Foster) and in their pursuit of freedom, they uncover a wide-reaching conspiracy.
The Electrical Life of Louis Wain
The extraordinary true story of eccentric British artist Louis Wain (Benedict Cumberbatch), whose playful, sometimes even psychedelic pictures helped to transform the public's perception of cats forever. Moving from the late 1800s through to the 1930s, we follow the incredible adventures of this inspiring, unsung hero, as…
The Power of the Dog
Dir Jane Campion/GB AU US CA NZ 2021/126 mins Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons Jane Campion (The Piano, Top of the Lake) returns to the LFF with a beguilingly dark drama about two wealthy brothers in the America West. Rancher Phil Burbank (a brooding Benedict Cumberbatch) is an intimidating presence to…
1917
Lance Corporals Schofield (MacKay) and Blake (Chapman) are given the job of hand-delivering a message to another unit, across the mud and misery of the trenches. It suffers from simplistic dialogue and flat characterisation, but it’s visually impressive and a respectable, heartfelt tribute to the sacrifice of WWI.
The Courier
Cold War thriller about an unassuming businessman (Benedict Cumberbatch) who is recruited by MI6.
Avengers: Endgame
Five years after Thanos’s victory, the Avengers are in despair until Ant-Man (Rudd) kicks the story back into action. The final film in the saga verges on fanservice, but there’s intelligent character development, everyone (except Johansson) is given enough to do, and some arcs have a truly poignant sense of closure.
Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle
Another live-action retelling of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book, this time directed by Gollum himself, Andy Serkis.
The Grinch
The Grinch (Cumberbatch) is a grumpy, green creature who despises Christmas so much that he plots to steal it. The animation is gorgeous, the pace is breezy and Cumberbatch does a decent job with the voice, but the film is stolen by the Grinch’s adorable dog Max.
Avengers: Infinity War
Thanos (Brolin) aims to become all-powerful, in the first part of this two-part superhero mash-up. Death, destruction, torture and sacrifice are the order of the day, in a grand space opera that mixes tragedy with pathos, fleshed out with the usual Marvel humour. Truly remarkable.
Sherlock: The Final Problem
Series four finale of Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.
The Current War
The tale of the 19th century battle to become the company that runs America’s electrical system, featuring mercurial showman Thomas Edison (Cumberbatch) and stolid engineer George Westinghouse (Shannon). Despite elegant cinematography and impressive set-pieces, it feels like an epic saga squashed into a tight canvas; a…
Doctor Strange
When brilliant but arrogant neurosurgeon Stephen Strange (Cumberbatch) gets his hands mangled in a car crash, he visits Kathmandu to be reborn under the mystic tutelage of the Ancient One (Swinton). A blast: fresh performances from Cumberbatch and Swinton power a dynamic script with well-measured puns and even a little…
Sherlock: The Abominable Bride
Christmas special of the BBC series starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. The episode is mostly an original story inspired by a reference in one of the Conan Doyle stories to a case that Dr Watson never wrote about and is set in Victorian, rather than contemporary, London.
Walking with Dinosaurs: Prehistoric Planet
This BBC Earth film follows the story of a herd of large, plant-eating dinosaurs. Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch.
Black Mass
Thriller based on the true story of James 'Whitey' Bulger (Depp), who became one of Boston's notorious gangsters during the 70s and 80s. Depp's best performance in ages, a strong cast, moody cinematography and a brooding sense of tightly-knit community prevent this sprawling saga from seeming over-familiar.
National Theatre Live: Hamlet
Benedict Cumberbatch takes on the title role of Shakespeare’s great tragedy.
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
Smaug's on the rampage, Thorin is consumed with greed and war breaks out. The final instalment of Jackson's Middle-earth adventures features moments of spirited action and some terrific performances, but like the other Hobbit films it pales in comparison to the episodes of the previous trilogy.
The Penguins of Madagascar
The espionage-savvy penguins team up with an interspecies special forces group, to tangle with octopus/scientist Dr Octavius Brine (Malkovich). The knockabout style offers few chances for genuine drama and the result is a lighthearted, frenetic but rather unimaginative romp, a step down from the psychedelic wit of…
The Imitation Game
Historical drama about Alan Turing (Cumberbatch), father of modern computer science; how he and a team of codebreakers figured out how to beat the German Enigma machine during WWII, and his tragically early death. Triumphant slice of British heritage drama, with great emotional force and a touching performance from…
The Fifth Estate
Condon leaves behind the Twilight saga for this weighty real-life thriller about Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
Star Trek Into Darkness
When ex-Starfleet commander John Harrison (Cumberbatch) attacks Earth, the Enterprise crew pursues him. It's more of the same: funny, dramatic and exciting, and if it's not as fresh as the 2009 film, Pine and Quinto's squabbling bromance gives it heart, Pegg and Urban are excellent and Cumberbatch is thrillingly cold.
Jerusalem
Sherlock himself (aka Benedict Cumberbatch) enlightens us about Jerusalem and its environs, including interviews with citizens and archaeologists.
