8 Out & About


SLOWWEST (15) FRESH-FACED 17-year-old, Jay Cavendish (Kodi Smit- McPhee), journeys “from the cold shoulder of Scot- land to the baking heart of America to find his love.” In a mosaic of flashbacks,


we discover that the impres- sionable young man, son of a landowner (Alex Mac- Queen), pursued a fling with peasant’s daughter Rose Ross (Caren Pistorius). Rose and her father (Rory McCann) depart for foreign climes and now lovesick whelp Jay is on their trail, determined to woo the ob- ject of his unrequited affec- tions. Slow West is a compelling


portrait of an era, as seen through the eyes of a jack rabbit, who has strayed into a den of wolves. Rating: Four stars


MRHOLMES (PG) MR HOLMES imagines the twilight years of one of lit- erature’s icons, who is fac- ing the grim reality of de- mentia with what remains of his once-glorious wit. This Sherlock, portrayed


with dignity and steely re- solve by Sir Ian McKellen, is no longer the aloof master of deduction who traversed the pages of Sir Arthur Co- nan Doyle’s imagination. Instead, he tends bees on


the Sussex coast, haunted by the one case he failed to solve. The year is 1947 and


Sherlock Holmes, now 93, struggles to piece together fractured memories and in- furiates his widowed house- keeper, Mrs Munro (Laura Linney). Her spirited son Roger (Milo Parker) is fascinated

by Sherlock and the boy shows a natural aptitude with the bees. The lad inspires Sherlock to


delve into the fog of the past to recall his only unsolved case – a missing person en- quiry in 1919 involving a dis- traught husband. Mr Holmes is distinguished by McKel- len’s measured central per- formance and the strong sup- port from rising star Parker. Rating: Three stars

studio executive, who has stumped up $100million to finance Vince’s bold vision. The project is over budget and Vince needs more funds to complete his masterpiece.. Entourage feels like an elon- gated TV episode that has mistakenly found its way into a cinema. Gags fall flat, a sub- plot involving the gay wed- ding of Ari’s former assistant (Rex Lee) verges on offensive, and the cast struggle to find


attractive traits in their self- obsessed protagonists. Rating: Two stars

LONDONROAD (15) RUFUS Norris embraces the cinematic medium with this daring screen version of the critically adored verbatim stage drama London Road, which documents the real-life discovery of the bodies of five women in Suffolk in 2006 in the words of residents of the titular Ipswich street. A media scrum including


journalist Simon Newton (Michael Schaeffer) descends upon Ipswich, where locals are gripped by fear after the murders of five women, who all worked as prostitutes in the area. The residents of London Road including bub- bly mother Julie (Olivia Col- man) and enigmatic neigh- bour Dodge (Paul Thornley) are obvious targets for TV crews because prostitutes continue to tout for business outside their homes. When London Road resident


Steve Wright is arrested by Suffolk police, battle lines are drawn between locals, inva- sive media and the working girls, represented on screen by Vicky (Kate Fleetwood). Rating: Three stars
