It is the brilliant Spy thriller  Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy

**** Margaret ***** David, ATM ABC

Based on John Le-Carre’s  novel , Tomas Alfredson has brilliantly remade spy thriller set in the 1970’s at the height of the Cold War. George Smiley (Gary Oldman), a disgraced British spy, is rehired in secret by his government - which fears that the British Secret Intelligence Service, has been compromised by a double agent working for the Soviets.   Could it be Alleline (Toby Jones), Haydon (Colin Firth), Bland (Ciarán Hinds), Estherhase (David Dencik) – 5 Stars,

Phillip French & Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Oldman is superb as the ever-present Smiley (portrayed by Alec Guinness in the 1979 TV series), while Colin Firth shows great presence as the elegant, confident Bill Haydon, code-named Tailor. The fact that the physicality of

the actors is so different works in the film's favour with Toby Jones as good as ever as the smarmy Percy Alleline (Tinker) and Ciaran Hiands's large features are imposing as Roy Bland (Soldier). But they are not the only rotten apple contenders. For maximum enjoyment, do not expect a run-of-the-mill thriller with linear storytelling and a simple resolution. There is far more complexity to absorb.

Le Carré is a master of the genre and under Alfredson's dense direction, the revitalisation of this classic is elevated to new heights as well as a new audience. (Louis Keller cited in Rotten Tomatoes)

This Fridays Screening is the English indie movie "Submarine"

From  David Stratton "At the Movies "

 "In  Swansea, Wales, in the mid-1980s, before the advent of mobile  phones and social networks, 15-year-old Oliver, CRAIG ROBERTS, lives with his parents in an ordinary street in an ordinary part of  town. 

His Dad, Lloyd, NOAH TAYLOR, is a marine biologist who  suffers from depression; his mother, Jill, SALLY HAWKINS, seems  frustrated with her life, and Oliver gets very upset when he thinks his Mum is spending too much time with Graham, PADDY CONSIDINE, a New Age guru and former boyfriend of his mum.

 Oliver, meanwhile, has fallen in love with a girl at school, Jordana, YASMIN PAIGE, who has definite ideas about how high school courtships should proceed." 4 stars *****

 This movie is the work of first time debut feature director Richard  Aoyade and is a small but beautifully made film that looks at the common themes of adolescence but is carried out in an original and often quirky way. The film is rated M and goes for 97 minutes.
