2 h. ago Diamond Sky review – fairytale heist thriller has its head in the clouds

Mesmerising leads Hassan Najib and Elena Rivers play a pair of young hotel workers who carry out high-end robberies in this oddly unconvincing storyIt’s not fair to critics who want to avoid spoilers but there’s a twist at the end of this romance-focused crime thriller that partly explains why everything that has come before has been so oddly stilted, unconvincing and thinly sketched out. Presumably, writer-director Felix Mackenzie was hoping to create a fairytale-like atmosphere but with a present-day London setting.We’re supposed to feel enchanted by the tale of Lucan (Hassan Najib) and Alice (Elena Rivers), two crazy young kids pulling off heists while working day jobs as a bell boy and chambermaid, respectively, in a small hotel. But most viewers will just wonder why their high jinks are so incredibly unconvincing, why they trust their criminal mastermind handlers to show up with escape cars at exactly the moment needed, and why they live in a flat that looks as if it was hired ...

Most games want you to save the world. This stop-motion adventure wants you to hold someone’s handStop-motion adventure Out of Words was one of the most striking reveals at this year’s Summer Game Fest. While most games are built from code, Out of Words is made from clay, fabric, and glue: a love story literally crafted by hand that even caught the attention of Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima (“The biggest praise we could imagine,” game director Johan Oettinger says.)Oettinger dreamed of making a stop-motion video game since he was 12, when he first played 90s point-and-click claymation game The Neverhood. After years working across films, commercials and installation art, Out of Words became the project to merge these two lifelong passions. Continue reading...

3 h. ago ‘Stole my heart’: why My Best Friend’s Wedding is my feelgood movie

The next in our series of writers sharing their all-time favourite comfort films is a trip back to 1997 with Julia Roberts’s charmingly chaotic anti-heroIf When Harry Met Sally questioned whether men and women can be friends without sex getting in the way, My Best Friend’s Wedding is unequivocal. If your fiance has a female BFF – especially if she has the megawatt smile and mile-long legs of Julia Roberts at her ravishing best – prepare for drama. Even if you’re Cameron Diaz. Which is the precise scenario we’re confronted with at the start of my favourite chaotic caper, which made just under $300m at the global box office when it debuted in 1997, and also stole my heart as a melodramatic 11-year-old.We were truly spoiled for romcoms in the 90s – believe me, I watched them all – but My Best Friend’s Wedding is something special.
