Chef

(Lionsgate, cert 15, Blu-ray/DVD/digital)

This finger-lickin’ dramedy about a celeb chef (Jon Favreau) going back to food-truck basics has the flop-in-a-chair appeal of TV’s Diners, Drive Ins and Dives.

Mystery Road

(Axiom, cert 15, Blu-ray/DVD/digital)

Film very noir, smart and intense, starring Aaron Pedersen as the updated Aussie Philip Marlowe fighting local cop indifference to a fellow aborigine’s death.

The Fault in Our Stars

(Fox, cert 12, Blu-ray/DVD)

Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort as funny, feisty teens embracing love as terminal cancer embraces them in a Love Story for the Hunger Games crowd. Weepy.

Wolf

(StudioCanal, cert 15, DVD)

A kickboxing Moroccan petty thief gets in too deep with a local Mr Big in a doom-laden and punchy Dutch drama surfing the girls-guns-gangs clichés.

God Help the Girl

(Metrodome, cert 15, DVD)

The pillowy lips of Emily Browning star in Belle and Sebastian frontman Stuart Murdoch’s directorial debut, a cute musical in debt to A Hard Day’s Night.

Tony Benn: Will and Testament

(Praslin, cert 12, DVD)

It comes to praise Benn, not bury him, this poignant, archive-heavy documentary about “the most dangerous man in Britain” who became a national treasure.

The Killing Fields

(StudioCanal)

Cambodia, not Vietnam, is the focus of this important and impressive exercise in long-form film-making, getting a Blu-ray digital restoration for its 30th birthday.

Box Sets

The Code

(Arrow, cert 15, Blu-ray)

BBC4’s latest foreign import is a sleek, tense Australian cyber-thriller, the “if not, why not” of iPlayer catch-up viewing and worth a hard-copy purchase too.

Grey’s Anatomy Season 1-10

(Disney, cert 15, DVD)

Interesting that a TV show that’s regularly the most popular in the key 18-45 demographic portrays women as smart, men as sex objects (all that McDreamy stuff).

Disney Princess Box Set

(Disney, cert PG, DVD)

For little princesses everywhere, a keenly priced box set consisting of 1937’s Snow White, 1956’s Sleeping Beauty, 1989’s The Little Mermaid and 2010’s Tangled.
