AT THE MOVIES #898 MOVIE HEROES

Mrs Harris goes to Paris tells the story of a working woman determined to reward herself with a Christian Dior dress. Stars Lesley Manville (The Crown) and Isabelle Huppert (Elle).
Dame Valerie Adams: More than Gold tells the story of one of our most acclaimed sporting figures, and her dream to make it to her fifth Olympics, in Tokyo. Produced by Leanne Pooley (Beyond the edge) and directed by Briar March (Mothers of the revolution)
And Black Adam sees Dwayne Johnson produce and star in his first comic-book franchise. Where does this character fit in the DC Extended Universe? Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (Jungle Cruise).
