Find out our HELLO! film critic's top film and TV picks for the week

February 14, 2020 - 10:32 GMT James King Having spent several days talking about this year's male-heavy Oscars and then working on a couple of shows I'm making about James Bond , it made a pleasant change to escape all that testosterone for a few hours and enjoy the three female-led movies I've chosen for you this week. With their wit and wiliness, their brains and brawn, this trio could easily give 007 a run for his money.

ON THE BIG SCREEN Anya Taylor-Joy has shown us she can do dark and twisted in movies such as Split and Thoroughbreds but in EMMA - the latest adaptation of Jane Austen's classic comedy of manners - she proves she’s equally adept at fresh and frothy too. Plus, she looks great in a bonnet. So whilst it's true that there have been other adaptations of this story , none are quite so delicious to wallow in as this. Director Autumn de Wilde has gone big on pastels and pretty faces...

Emma Woodhouse is a young, privileged woman who - without much else to do - decides to help her protégé Harriet find a husband. There are plenty of available men around, from the dashing Mr Churchill to the sly Mr Elton but sure enough, the course of true love doesn’t run smoothly. Even confident Emma finds herself flustered when she realises her neighbour Mr Knightly might know her better than she knows herself.

Former 'Home & Away' actor Samara Weaving stars as Grace Le Domas, a newlywed who discovers her husband's wealthy family have a bizarre initiation rite that she’s forced to go through with on her wedding night. To them it might seem like a game but to Grace it’s terrifying and the result is a film that says a lot about tradition and privilege in between the creepy scares.
