For film fans, January and February are the best time of the year. And the worst. The awards season means that there’s a glut of good films released over those two months to make sure they’re in contention. And it also means trying to squeeze in as many cinema visits as possible over just a couple of months.
Except that 2016 might be slightly different. Some of the titles tipped as contenders were released months ago: Inside Out in July and Carol more recently in November. Which means that the start of the year could be a little less fraught than usual. As for the films themselves, London Mums’ resident film critic, Freda Cooper, takes a look ahead and picks the must-sees.

When The Hunger Games first appeared on screens in 2012, it set the bar and it set it high. There’s been other post-dystopian young adult adventure stories, but none of them have quite measured up to the series, with its strong but vulnerable heroine, Katniss Everdeen.

Introducing the romantic leading man for this spring. Matthias Schoenaerts. If the name doesn’t jangle any bells, you may have seen the Belgian actor last month as a musical German officer in World War II romance, Suite Francaise. He’s back again next month as one of Carey Mulligan’s suitors in the re-make of Hardy’s Far From The Madding Crowd. As of this week, however, he’s a royal gardener at the court of Louis XIV and the woman in his sights is Kate Winslet. The film is Alan Rickman’s A Little Chaos, which opens on Friday, certificate 12A.
It’s a film, and a role, miles away from his usual territory – a drug addict in Bullhead (2011), ex-boxer in Rust And Bone (2012) and the manipulative local thug in The Drop (2014). So does he have what it takes to be a heart throb? And is there more to A Little Chaos than just beautiful flowers? London Mums’ film critic, Freda Cooper, puts on her gardening gloves …..
