Ridley Scott presents Life in a Day, an extraordinary and ambitious insight into a day in the life of the human race. Compiling and consolidating over 4,500 hours of amateur footage, from 80,000 submissions and 140 nations, director Kevin MacDonald has created a coherent, compelling and delightfully accomplished snapshot in time.

DISCLAIMER: This film is A Film About Animals on Farms. If you’re a young girl, and you still think being a vet involves magically making animals better all the time, you’ll love it (and I hope your parents are strictly monitoring your internet use). Everyone else: avoid All Roads Lead Home. Avoid it like it’s a sow coughing loudly circa 2009.

James D’Arcy owns his role as ex-soldier turned prison officer in this gritty insight into life in one of England’s most dangerous prisons. This semi-autobiographical story is based on the memoirs of Ronnie Thompson – a prison officer for seven years in some of the country’s most dangerous prisons – unearths the inherent corruption and violence that is common place in this environment.

Ghosted is another reliable, by-the-numbers and relatively unmemorable British prison drama. Why do we keep making them? Presumably because people lap them up – and if prison-drama-up-lapping is your bag, this’ll do you just fine.

Despite being the one person on a football pitch we love to hate, Yves Hinant’s documentary goes some way to having the audience empathise with referees. Death threats, controversy, swearing, who’d thought referees could be this interesting, eh?

A straight-to-DVD prize, where perinatal horror and unnaturally large nipples eclipse murder, paranoia and preternatural possession into insignificant mundanity. There’s little else to say, really, except to ask if we really needed another reason to fear the gory joys of pregnancy?

Gérard Depardieu excels as a hulking giant of a man in the weirdly hypnotic French melodrama Mammuth. It’s an ultra surreal tale of man, machine and the journey that lies beyond retirement.

Whatever Happened to Pete Blaggit? is a sci-fi comedy about weddings, zombies and rape – and, should another film ever slot into that very specific sub-sub-subgenre, we guarantee it will be better than this incoherent and nonsensical tripe.

Red Canyon is a sombre and engrossing reflection on mortality and the life events that make us who we are. Actually – no. It’s completely awful.

In 1968, Welsh Wizard Howard Winstone – a professional boxer who had overcome a teenage tragedy to achieve 61 wins from 67 bouts – fought Mitsunori Seki for the world featherweight title. This is his story.
