At the movies this weekend

Guardians of the galaxy

A brisk and breezy superhero movie that provides plenty of visual spectacle and humour, but is sometimes undermined by its own facetiousness. It feels a little half-hearted compared with other Marvel blockbusters.

Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent

Mr Pip

This highly personal effort from 'Shrek' director Andrew Adamson mixes magical realism with hard-hitting historical drama about a young woman's 'Great Expectations' obsession. The filmmakers have their hearts in the right place. Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Review

Wish I was here

Until you partly surrender to its goodwill, watching the turmoil of a middle-class Los Angeles family is like observing an experiment in a cinematic test kitchen.

Stephen Holden, New York Times
