The cine files: everything you need to see at the cinema in June

The first Spider-Verse movie won the animated feature Oscar, so best stick with a victorious, tried and tested team, right? Nope. Pretty much the whole directorial and writing crew has changed for this follow-up. Surely there must be a reason; is this even better? The potty-mouthed arrival of Daniel Kaluuya as (a Camden) Spider-Punk is enough to get me to the cinema. Here’s the bare bones of what you’re in for: Miles Morales (Spider-Man) whooshes across the multiverse, bumps into Spider-Man (it’s multiple worlds, keep up!) and more Spider-folk; everything needs defending, but how?! Cue some Spidey soul-searching… It’s 140 minutes long, which will be heaven for Marvel nerds, but prepare to see some restless 10-year-olds at your local multiplex. Out 2 June

Reality

In the desert of the real, here’s something rather thirst-quenching, and my film of the month too. On 3 June 2017, the FBI rolled up to Reality Winner’s house to question the National Security Agency translator about a classified intelligence report that had been leaked to the media. Less than two hours later, she was in handcuffs. All the words spoken in Tina Satter’s strangely gripping directorial debut are taken verbatim from the transcript of the interrogation; nothing more, nothing less, right down to the verbal ticks, repetitions and incidental chit-chat (’Is the cat still under the bed?’). The result, which could have been so dry and clinical, is uncannily brilliant. Bafflingly so. The likely answer is Sydney Sweeney’s quietly, utterly mesmerising performance as Winner. It is near impossible to pull your attention away from her. In an era when fakery and misinformation is king, cinema can’t get much more vérité than this. Out 2 June
