Rosario Dawson, Hugh Jackman and Blake Lively lead our look at 2015's best under the radar acting performances in film...
This article contains mild spoilers for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2. We've kept these as vague as possible, but if you haven't seen the film yet, you might wish to skip the entry pertaining to that.
2015 was a particularly exemplary year for all kinds of movies, but particularly in genre and blockbuster cinema. When there's so much to talk about, it's inevitable that some of the really good stuff gets lost in the mix of awards season chatter, but that's especially true when there's still some residual stigma about movies outside of the 'worthy' release schedule that will arrive in UK cinemas between now and the Academy Awards ceremony in February.

Rating: ★★★
Bill is funny. There’s no better way to put it than that. I was chuckling from the simple-but-sharp opening crawl through to the Shakespeare medley finale, with a good few belly laughs along the way. If all you want is a comedy stuffed with jokes, rather than a forced heartfelt story with the odd humorous set-piece (which we’ve grown accustomed to from the genre in recent years), then you’re in for a good time.
The film comes from the same team behind Cbbc’s Horrible Histories, which became notable for appealing as much to parents as it did kids looking for a teatime treat. And those who’ve caught that show will know exactly what they’re in for here – a historical setting populated by a bunch of off-kilter characters, personified by period trappings suddenly making way for very modern tongues.
