Summary
The Road (15) The future isn't bright, not in the slightest, in John Hillcoat's Oscar-tipped, post-apocalyptic thriller, adapted by Joe Penhall from the novel by Cormac McCarthy. A heavily bearded Viggo Mortensen and Australian child star Kodi Smit-McPhee are cast as father and son in a desolate landscape littered with dangers. The Road is unremittingly downbeat, bolstered by terrific performances. It's not a road movie you'll forget in a hurry.
It's Complicated (15) Meryl Streep stars as a divorcee who embarks on a passionate affair with her ex-husband (Alec Baldwin) in writer-director Nancy Meyers's romantic comedy. The sparkling on- screen chemistry between the characters, including a star turn from Steve Martin as a lovelorn architect, adds polish to the familiar material. It's Complicated is a delightful two hours of laughter and self-reflection, and Streep affirms her credentials as one of the best comic actresses working today.See the full content of this document
