Nights' resident screen critic joins Emile Donovan. Tonight, he reviews:
In Cinemas: F1 (Kosinski, 2025). New blockbuster starring Brad Pitt as a washed-up former star racing driver brought back into Formula 1 to school a talented rookie (Damson Idris) driving for Javier Bardem's struggling team.
Paid Streaming: (Prime Video) Étoile (Palladino/Sherman-Palladino, 2025). Comedy from the creators of The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel about struggling elite ballet companies in Paris and New York that hatch a plan to swap some of their stars for creative and publicity reasons. The result is cross-cultural conflicts and misunderstandings but also shows a great love and affection for ballet itself. Stars Luke Kirby (Lenny Bruce in The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel) and Charlotte Gainsbourg (Melancholia) as the leaders of the two companies.
