This semi-autobiographical tale from director Greta Gerwig has been earning high praise for it's stellar performances from it's highly talented cast with Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf in particular excelling in this feature. A quirky coming of age tale that will delight audiences this is definitely one to see weekend.

David Brent: Life on the Road (Netflix)
Nowhere near as groundbreaking or indeed funny as the Office but there is definitely enough here (especially for Ricky Gervais fans) to entertain and make you squirm at the hilarity yet social awkwardness of one of UK comedies renowned figures. Ricky Gervais does sugar coat it a bit with over sentimentality but there are worse ways to spend ninety minutes than despairing at the behaviour of this disillusioned character.

Aliens - Special Edition (Film Four Saturday 23rd February 21:00)
This highly impressive sequel to Alien sees Sigourney Weaver and director Ridley Scott in top form in a film that has aged remarkably well and is well worth another look. Check out my full review here.
