AT THE MOVIES #791 WORLD WAR 2 SAFDIES
Dan Slevin is sitting in for Simon Morris for one more week and he reviews three films that could be comments on different aspects of masculinity.
Terrence Malick’s latest film, A Hidden Life, is based on the true story of an Austrian farmer was named as a martyr by the Catholic Church after refusing to swear allegiance to Adolf Hitler.
Midway is an epic - and supposedly historically accurate - recreation of the greatest underdog victory in the history of naval warfare.
Uncut Gems is the acclaimed new drama by the Safdie Brothers which stars Adam Sandler as a New York jeweller and gambling addict hoping to make one more big score (screening on Netflix).
