THE WEEKEND IS coming up, and that means new movies for you to see. But which is a must-watch, and are there any you should avoid?

We take a look.

The Falling

What we know

Drama starring Game of Throne’s Maisie Williams, about an outbreak of fainting fits at a girls’ school.

What the critics say

• “This is testy, tangy dramatic material, allowing for a range of interpretations — the most obvious positing the mass fainting as the involuntary outward expression of long-suppressed female sexuality” - Variety 
• “There are so many acute insights, striking images and impressive performances in it, not least from lead Maisie Williams, it’s a tragic shame that elsewhere inexperience shows and the last 15 minutes devolve into a morass of melodramatic incident” - Hollywood Reporter

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 6.7/10
• IMDB: 6.1/10

Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron

What we know

Avengers assemble again, under the eye of Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). Boom. Minus the Black Widow though, how come?

What the critics say

• “What’s shocking is how so many things that were strengths in the first film fall flat here” - The Verge 
• “Now [The Avengers] are more like a G7 summit of world-saving and crime-fighting with every constituent member becoming a veritable Angela Merkel of demurely offbeat virility.” – The Guardian

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 7.3/10
• IMDB: 9.3/10

The Good Lie

What we know

Reese Witherspoon stars as a woman who looks after adult Sudanese orphans when they move to America. Based on a true story.

What the critics say

• “[I]f any movie deserves two potentially get-out-your-hanky endings, it is this one.” - RogerEbert.com
• “It’s often earnest to a fault and fearful of its deeper, darker implications.” - Rolling Stone

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 6.8/10
• IMDB: 7.4/10
