The Playing Field
My big recommendation, new to UK cinemas this week, is Rose of Nevada – people may say it's not necessarily geared to our audience... I would massively disagree! With Callum Turner and George McKay, and directed by maverick filmmaker Mark Jenkin, it's a fascinating, slow, and very rich experience at the cinema.
Of course, the Michael movie, as well as Mother Mary and Exit 8, are out this week – we'll get back to you on those over the weekend.
Still in cinemas - Project Hail Mary, Super Mario Galaxy, The Drama, The Mummy, California Schemin', The Magic Faraway Tree, and Glenrothan.
My Father's Shadow, and Sound of Falling are now on MUBI.

Of course, the Michael movie is out this week – we'll get back to you on that over the weekend. Blue Heron is also out, and comes highly recommended! The Christophers is now also in cinemas.
Going strong are Super Mario Galaxy, Project Hail Mary, The Drama, and Mother Mary.
I wish I had a better idea of what's going on in Canadian cinema right now, but my browser somehow wants to lock me out of the listings page for "security reasons"????
OBSCURAE Recommends
Blue Heron!
