THE WEEKEND IS coming up, and that means new movies for you to see.

But which is a must-watch, and are there any you should avoid?

We take a look.

Carol

What we know

Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara play two women who fall in love in the 1950s, but being together is not easy.

What the critics say

• “The writing and performances are superb, the production design and costumes by Judy Becker and Sandy Powell tremendous. And the effect is intoxicating.” - The Guardian
• “…this is Cate and Rooney’s show, and they are fantastic, doling out gripping feelings without ever teetering into melodrama and telling a timeless love story.” - USA Today

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 8.6/10
• IMDB: 7.4/10

Bridge of Spies

What we know

Tom Hanks plays an American lawyer sent to negotiate the release of a US pilot during the Cold War.

What the critics say

• “It’s not as grisly as either SPECTRE or Mockingjay Part 2, two other 12A movies in cinemas right now, but Bridge Of Spies lands more thoughtful and effective blows within the same BBFC bracket by doing what he does best and putting the viewer in the action.” - Den of Geek
• “There is a curious sense of well-being in settling down to “Bridge of Spies.” To place yourself in the hands of Spielberg and Hanks is to be assured of a tale solidly told, however bitter the anxieties of the historical setting.” - The New Yorker

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 7.8/10
• IMDB: 8/10

The Good Dinosaur

What we know

A film for kids who love dinosaurs, starring an Apatosauraus named Arlo.

What the critics say

• “The exact details of this world are new, but the story beats and even specific characters feel like they were imported from The Lion King, The Incredible Journey, The Land Before Time, The Jungle Book, and other familiar features.” - The Verge
• “Visually, “The Good Dinosaur” is a stunner throughout, with one breathtaking composition after another that combines gorgeously rendered photorealistic backgrounds with the more overtly cartoony characters in an unexpectedly lovely manner. “ - RogerEbert.com

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 6.6/10
• IMDB: 7.7/10
