James Cameron-Wilson is delighted by #1 Wicker, an independent movie starring Olivia Colman and Peter Dinklage. A medieval romantic fantasy with a strong flavour of Chaucer, it's about a woman who asks a basket weaver to make her a man. Earthy and very witty, it is a genuine original. He is less keen on Prime Time, a true story in which Robert Pattinson plays the host of a TV show whose aim is to entrap predators. With poor storytelling and characters, James found it a missed opportunity. But, as with its cinema release, he praises French film Love Me Tender, a powerful and nuanced drama about a woman who discovers herself after a separation but gets entwined in a bitter custody battle.
