It is the misfortune of this waterlogged British indie to be a true-life drama about a female endurance swimmer, coming out when people are still talking about Annette Bening in the Hollywood underdog heartwarmer Nyad, also about a female endurance swimmer. Nyad cuts powerfully and confidently through the water. This film, sadly, seems as if it’s got cramp after picking up a dozen verrucas in the footbaths.Kirsten Callaghan plays Mercedes Gleitze, the young Brighton swimmer of German parentage in the 1920s on a mission to…

Sasha Nathwani is a UK-based director of award-winning short films, of Iranian and Indian heritage, stepping up here to his feature debut. It opens the Generation strandin Berlin and is a sweet-natured, heartfelt and earnestly acted film; a little precious maybe, but saved from emo-sentimentalism by irreverent humour and a wittily self-aware final image of his leading actor’s face.Last Swim is the story of Ziba, played by Deba Hakmat, an Iranian-British teen who has just stormed her A-levels and landed a place at…

When B.C. marine scientist Anna Hall encountered a very lost loggerhead turtle in waters near Victoria over the weekend, she knew it faced a grim fate at sea."The turtle would not have survived," said Hall, principal scientist at consulting group Sea View Marine Sciences."Had the turtle stayed in the ocean, either it would have died due to hypothermia, or it would have been hit by a boat.

The dust has settled on Hollywood's first popcorn feast of 2024, and January's box office has taken a slower start. Timothée Chalamet's whimsical Wonka waltzed across the box office, while Blumhouse is swimming towards a highly profitable margin. And in a twist worthy of Aquaman himself, the under-hyped sequel after enduring loads of side eyes, managed to swim its way toward financial redemption. Not a good start for Warner Bros as The Color Purple slides down to lower ranks. Timothée Chalamet's whimsical Wonka…

In early January, it can feel natural to view everything as a portent of what's to come in the next 12 months... but that's thankfully not the case with the box office. Annually, this is a time for the industry when blockbuster holdovers from the previous year do battle with low potential studio releases that are dumped into theaters.
