Film reviews of new releases Ad Astra, The Kitchen and The Farewell, plus Jodie Prenger on her role in A Taste of Honey and Konnie Huq on her new children's book.

It’s film review day and we’ll be weighing up all the new releases, including space thriller Ad Astra, starring Brad Pitt, The Kitchen, where Melissa McCarthy leads a group of wives in 1970's Hell’s Kitchen in running their own mafia operation, and the Chinese-American family drama that was a big hit at Sundance, The Farewell.

Jodie Prenger discusses her role in the National Theatre’s touring production of Shelagh Delaney's play A Taste of Honey.

Konnie Huq talks about her new children’s book Cookie and the Most Annoying Boy in the World

And director Shola Amoo talks about his new film The Last Tree, which was inspired by his own childhood, about a Nigerian-British boy, raised in a white rural community, whose sense of self changes drastically when he moves to a diverse, deprived area of London.
