How do you find lasting love in today’s world?

For documentary filmmaker Zoe (Lily James), swiping right to find Mr Right has only delivered bad dates and funny anecdotes, much to her opinionated mother Cath’s (Emma Thompson) dismay. For her childhood friend and neighbour Kazim (Shazad Latif), the answer is to follow his parents’ example and opt for an assisted marriage with a bright and beautiful bride from Pakistan. As Zoe films his hopeful journey from London to Lahore to marry a stranger, chosen by his parents, she begins to wonder if she might have something to learn from a different approach to finding love.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (PG)

This year, everyone’s favourite swashbuckling, fear-defying feline returns as daring outlaw Puss in Boots discovers that his passion for peril and disregard for safety have taken their toll.

Antonio Banderas is back as the voice of the notorious Puss as he embarks on an epic journey to find the mythical Wishing Star and restore his lost lives. But with only one life left, Puss will have to ask for help from his former partner and nemesis: the captivating Kitty Soft Paws (Salma Hayek). In their quest, Puss and Kitty will be aided by relentlessly cheerful mutt, Perro (Harvey Guillén, What We Do in the Shadows). Together, our trio of heroes will have to stay one step ahead of Goldilocks (Florence Pugh).

The story is still a Marvel story. The good guys still battle the bad guys. There is conflict and resolution, and the CGI is the focal point, not the acting.

However, if you like films that stretch actors, that keep you in suspense, or that have a complex and engaging story, steer clear.

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania is showing at multiple times at the Odeon Tunbridge Wells. Certificate 12A.
