This breezy Irish crime caper is directed by Chris Addison and stars the excellent Ella Lily Hyland as Bridget, a kindly nurse with a secret drug habit, a taste for folk horror stories and a willingness to dispatch suffering patients.

\n
Syrian film-makers Hasan Kattan and Fadi Al-Halabi\u2019s friendship was forged while documenting civil war. But in 2023, holed up in a UK hotel housing asylum seekers, they turned the camera on themselves, capturing a different, internal battle.

Opposites may attract but, Chokri\u2019s romantic drama asks, can love overcome the differences in the long term? Canadian philosophy lecturer Sophia (Magalie L\u00e9pine Blondeau) falls in lust at first sight with lumberjack-shirted builder Sylvain (Pierre-Yves Cardinal), to the extent of breaking up her marriage. As she socialises with his working-class family and he attends a dinner party with her intellectual friends, there\u2019s plenty of fish-out-of-water comedy to be had, but Chokri is careful not to condescend or satirise either side of the social divide.
