The Business of Film: Mank, Uncle Frank & Babyteeth
James Cameron-Wilson looks at the UK box office, shooting up 1,586%, but to a still-pitiful level. He reviews the new Netflix David Fincher film Mank about the making of Citizen Kane, which is already tipped for awards glory. His favourite of the week though is a more modest piece starring Paul Bettany called Uncle Frank. And he looks at the much-admired Australian teen drama Babyteeth, just out on DVD and Blu-Ray.

The Business of Film: Yes, God, Yes, Possessor & Happiest Season
James Cameron-Wilson looks at the sad UK box office chart with fewer than 30 cinemas open (Home Alone is #1). He looks at new Netflix offering, Yes, God, Yes about a religious, naive young woman in the early days of online chatting. Brandon Cronenberg's Possessor, starring Andrea Riseborough, he found stomach-turning. But he was very taken with gay-themed romcom Happiest Season, starring Kristen Stewart and Mackenzie Davis, which he recommends strongly.

The Business of Film: Unhinged, Hillbilly Elegy & Arkansas
With Welsh cinemas open again, as well as some in Scotland, James Cameron-Wilson looks at the latest dismal box office chart for the UK.

He also looks at the Oscar-tipped Netflix premiere of Hillbilly Elegy, starring Glenn Close and Amy Adams and directed by Ron Howard, as well as black comedy Arkansas, starring Liam Hemsworth.

And on various platforms, there is the documentary Totally Under Control, about the US response to the Covid pandemic.

The Business of Film: I Am Greta, The Trail of the Chicago Seven & Lynn + Lucy
James Cameron-Wilson looks UK cinema box office, which has declined even further than the previous week's dreadful level. But new films are being released and he was hugely moved by the documentary I Am Greta, which was fortunate to film the Swedish schoolgirl at the start of her protest that was felt around the world. Available at cinemas and on Netflix is the recommended Aaron Sorkin's The Trial of the Chicago Seven, with the main roles all taken by Brits. And James also reviews favourably the British film Lynn + Lucy.

The Business of Film: Saint Maud, Pinocchio & Yield to the Night
James Cameron-Wilson looks at the effect on the UK box office of Cineworld shutting its doors, with Tenet's take down 53%. He reviews the new #2 film, Saint Maud as well as the Italian 2020 success Pinocchio, though lamenting the fact that it was dubbed rather than subtitled. For home viewing, he recommends the restored version of the 1956 British Cannes entry, Yield to the Night, starring Diana Dors and Yvonne Mitchell.

The Business of Film: James Bond, Cineworld & the future of cinema, Enola Holmes & Eternal Beauty
James Cameron-Wilson discusses the future of cinema-going in the UK in the light of the postponement of the new James Bond film and the decision by Cineworld to close its cinemas around the world. With no new films released in those cinemas that ARE open, he turned to Netflix for a young female take on Sherlock Holmes, Enola Holmes (with a 16-year-old star and producer) and to Curzon Home Cinema for British black comedy Eternal Beauty starring Sally Hawkins.
