The Swedish drama about film director David and actor Marianne reflecting on their decades-old affair continues. In the present, the pair reconnect with regrets, and flashbacks to 1978 show a sizzling bond as they shoot an erotic movie together. But Marianne\u2019s young daughter has her own crush on David, while her husband perhaps finds the performance a little too convincing. Hollie Richardson<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the final part of a chilling, messy investigation into the murder of eight members of the Rhoden family in rural Ohio in 2016.

Allegiance<\/p>\n
9pm, U&Alibi
Another edition of the excellent Canadian police procedural, led by Supinder Wraich as Sabrina Sohal, an idealistic rookie in British Columbia\u2019s Serious Crimes Unit. What seems like a fairly routine murder leads, once again, to a deeper story, which points the cops towards considering the plight of citizens who are disenfranchised or discriminated against.

Danger and sexual tension \u2026 Catherine Frot as Martine in Misericordia. Photograph: CG Cinema<\/p>\n
Alain Guiraudie\u2019s latest film starts out as a slice of French rural social realism, but gets more twisted as it goes along. J\u00e9r\u00e9mie (F\u00e9lix Kysyl) attends the funeral of a village baker he worked for in his youth. He is put up for the night by the widow, Martine (Catherine Frot), then decides to hang around \u2013 to the fury of her son, Vincent (Jean-Baptiste Durand). An atmosphere of danger and sexual tension lingers around J\u00e9r\u00e9mie, which ultimately drags in the mother, the son and even the local priest. Simon Wardell<\/p>\n
