And in this week's film reviews, Anna Smith and Chris Fyvie share their thoughts on: The Courier, a Cold War spy drama starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Jessie Buckley; plus Free Guy, featuring Ryan Reynolds as a bank teller who realises he's a minor character in a video game; and I'm Your Man, a German romantic comedy in which Dan Stevens plays an android programmed to be the perfect partner.
