Bad Neighbours (15)
★★☆☆☆
Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne are the newbie parents at war with the frat-house next door (led by Zac Efron’s chest). A great comedy about thirtysomethings facing up to adulthood in suburbia remains unmade; this one settles instead for sub-Animal House gags on the juvenile side of the fence.
(DVD/Blu-ray, out Mon)
Blue Ruin (15)
★★★★☆
An intense young hobo gets caught in a violent vigilante mess after his parents’ redneck killer is released from prison. A low-budget, low-key indie thriller that simmers slowly in its Blood Simple juices.
(DVD/Blu-ray, out Mon)
When I Saw You (15)
★★★☆☆
World pick of the week is an engaging Palestinian coming-of-age drama set in a 1967 refugee camp, where a bright, fatherless 11-year-old boy runs away to join local freedom fighters. Warmly poignant and timely.
(DVD, out now)
