Film Releases This Week – 12-02-20
This week we get to see what Sonic the Hedgehog is actually like! The reviews are embargoed so we’ll have to wait and see what the critic world thought, but at least it has Jim Carey in it? Is that enough?
Otherwise, there’s Emma. (which as you probably guessed is an adaptation of Ms. Austen’s novel) and a few IFI releases in Jihad Jane and Talking about Trees. And that’s your lot!
First Love doesn’t seem to be getting a cinema release but by all accounts it’s very good!
