What to see and do this weekend: From an ace new film to the 15th album from the 'archbishops of arch', the Mail's critics pick the very best of movies, music and theatre
A host of fantastic films, awesome new albums and spectacular stage performances - they are all featured in our critics' picks of the best of film, music and theatre.
Singer Lily Fontaine is quietly charismatic, her conversational lyrics addressing intolerance on the powerful Albert Road and her own chronic indecision on Mastermind Specialism, where she likens herself to a hesitant bride and a child who jumps off a playground slide halfway down the chute.
