AT THE MOVIES #876    NOT ENOUGH UNIVERSE

 

Simon Morris reviews three wildly diverse movies – one exploring another trendy “multiverse”,  an old-age pensioner travelling from one tip of the UK to the other, and an old-fashioned spy thriller with an A-List cast.

 

 

Everything everywhere all at once stars former martial arts star Michele Yeoh as a middle-aged laundromat owner suddenly called on to save several universes.  Featuring Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween) and Ke Huy Quan (The Goonies)

 

The last bus sees Timothy Spall (Mr Turner) as a 90-year-old widower on a mission to travel from John O’Groats to Land’s End, entirely on his bus pass.  Features Phyllis Logan (Downton Abbey).

 

And All the old knives is a spy thriller about an investigation into a hijacking that went very wrong.  Stars Chris Pine (Star Trek), Thandiwe Newton (TV’s Line of duty), Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix) and Jonathan Price (The two Popes).
