World War Z (15)
(Marc Forster, 2013, Us/Mal) Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, James Badge Dale. 116 mins
In the end, the much-reported delays, reshoots and overspend have at least resulted in a watchable disaster epic, even if this brings little to the zombie apocalypse party save for a huge guest list. Forster's film finds Pitt pitted against insect-like hordes of the sprinting dead, as his Un agent trots round the globe trying to trace the source of the epidemic, save his family and avoid getting chomped. Mild spoiler alert: blame Wales.
Before Midnight (15)
(Richard Linklater, 2013, Us) Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy, Walter Lassally. 109 mins
A satisfying return for the comfortable screen couple, now together but burdened by history,...

The Bafta-nominated debut tells its story of Iranian emigrants to Britain with integrity and feeling
Tina Gharavi's I Am Nasrine is a movie that first emerged last year on a limited release. A Bafta nomination for outstanding debut got it wider attention, and a well-deserved tour of UK cinemas begins this week. It is obviously an intensely personal film, flawed in some ways, with some plot issues, but acted with integrity and openness, and made with courage and a sense of melancholy in exile. Gharavi's crew for the Iranian scenes have not been named in the credits, evidently for their own safety. Micsha Sadeghi plays Nasrine, a young woman in Tehran, a free spirit who encounters brutality and misogyny from the authorities. Her father sends her away, along with her brother, Ali (Shiraz Haq), to the UK, which means entrusting them to a dangerous illegal-immigrant trail. The siblings emerge from a container lorry,...
