This week's new films

Winter's Bone (15) (Debra Granik, 2010, US) Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawkes, Kevin Breznahan. 100 mins What No Country For Old Men did for west Texas, this striking landscape thriller does for Missouri's Ozark mountains. This is no country for poor women: an insular rural community clouded by drugs and patriarchy where they do things their way. So when Ree learns her father's skipped bail, and the family home was his security, she must ask difficult questions in dangerous places – chiefly among her extended outlaw family. Tough suspense, documentary-like observation and character drama are perfectly balanced. I'm Still Here (15) (Casey Affleck, 2010, US) Joaquin Phoenix, Sean Combs, Anthony Langdon. 107 mins What was Joaquin thinking? This film won't clear that up, but it at least shows you what he was doing: taking drugs, falling out with friends and the movie biz, rapping badly and descending into mumbling incoherence – apparently. The Other Guys (12A) (Adam McKay, 2010, US) Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Samuel L Jackson. 107 mins Just when it looked like the words "buddy" and "cop" needed to spend some time apart, this finds new, surreal things to do with the well-worn formula. Devil (15) (John Erick Dowdle, 2010, US) Chris Messina, Bojana Novakovic. 80 mins Strangers are trapped in an elevator with the devil in this supernatural gimmick horror. Be warned: it's from the mind of M Night Shyamalan. F (18) (Johannes Roberts, 2010, UK) David Schofield, Eliza Bennett. 79 mins Survival becomes the after-school activity in this gloomy London horror, as faceless hoodies teach the teaching staff a lesson – in terror! Night Of The Demons (18) (Adam Gierasch, 2009, US) Edward Furlong, Shannon Elizabeth, Monica Keena. 93 mins A student Halloween party turns into a salacious Scooby-Doo episode in this haunted-house horror, as demons possess and punish hedonistic youth. The Kid (15) (Nick Moran, 2010, UK) Rupert Friend, Natascha McElhone, Ioan Gruffudd. 111 mins The true journey of an abuse survivor turning his life around becomes an earnest misery memoir in Moran's inexperienced hands. Release (TBC) (Darren Flaxstone, Christian Martin, 2010, UK) Daniel Brocklebank Ambitious gay drama following an imprisoned priest who falls for a guard. Limited screenings only. The Horde (18) (Yannick Dahan, Benjamin Rocher, 2009, Fra) Claude Perron, Jean-Pierre Martins. 97 mins Cops v robbers turns into living v undead in this blood-spattered horror. Just Wright (PG) (Sanaa Hamri, 2010, US) Queen Latifah, Common, Paula Patton. 100 mins Sports and romance collide predictably when Latifah's therapist nurses a handsome hoop-shooter. Grease Sing-A-Long (PG) (Randal Kleiser, 1978, US) John Travolta, Olivia Newton John, Stockard Channing. 111 mins Karaoke version of the rock'n'roll-era high school musical.
