At the Movies for 13 March 2024

From At The Movies, 7:06 pm on 13 March 2024

Simon Morris enjoys the best Academy Awards show in ages, then checks out three films for very different audiences - old, young and American faith-based. The great escaper is the last film by two Oscar-winning greats - Sir Michael Caine who's officially retired, and Dame Glenda Jackson who died shortly after making it. The true story of a Second World War veteran who takes off for the Normandy Beach 70th anniversary, sees both actors enjoying themselves - and each other. How to have sex is a comedy-drama of three teenager best friends, off to have "the best holiday ever" in Crete. Sun, sea, booze and multiple hook-ups - that's the plan. What could go wrong? Stars Bafta Rising Star 2024 Mia McKenna-Bruce. Finally, Cabrini - the inspiring story of a Catholic nun who built an astonishing number of orphanages in New York, and later around the world. Mother Cabrini later became the first US citizen to be made a saint by the Pope. Directed by Alejandro Monteverde (The sound of freedom).
