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.

Mattress Men

What we know

Documentary about the legendary mattress salesman Mattress Mick – aka Michael Flynn – and Paul Kelly, who helped to create the character.

What the critics say

• “Documentary filmmaker Quinn tells the story without interfering or using any of the manufactured dramatic effect of reality soaps. This is a cleverly made documentary with a threadbare budget.” - RTÉ
• “For all the madcap story line, this is a serious look at the difficulties caused to one decent Dub by the contracting of debt.  There is loads to smile about in this quirky movie but the underlying facts are worth pondering also.” - No More Workhorse

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: None
• IMDB: 9.4/10

War on Everyone

What we know

John Michael McDonagh writes and directs this tale of two corrupt cops who try to intimidate a dangerous gangster.

What the critics say

• “Not a bad mix of influences for the wicked-dark Irish satirist to recombine for his virgin foray abroad, a talky, sexy, irreverent and ultimately somewhat surreal buddy-cop movie” - Variety
• “It’s the same problem that McDonagh’s brother, Martin, tussled with in his similarly unsatisfying comedy thriller Seven Psychopaths: how do you make your American crime story big and exciting, when you made your reputation distilling the tropes to their essence?” - The Guardian

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 5.8/10
• IMDB: 6.5/10

Girl on the Train

What we know

The smash-hit book gets a movie remake, starring the fab Emily Blunt.

What the critics say

• “It’s appetizing and potentially subversive: an unraveling missing person case in which the only motivators are the suburban standbys of childbearing, real estate, and the wandering eye, and the heroine is a baby-snatching stalker ex who sucks vodka out of a water bottle.” - AV Club
• “As a big-screen thriller, “The Girl on a Train” is just so-so, but taken as 112 minutes of upscale psychodramatic confessional bad-behavior porn, it generates a voyeuristic zing that’s sure to carry audiences along.” - Variety

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 5.7/10
• IMDB: 6.7/10
