The star of Full Metal Jacket and Stranger Things takes your questions on working with Stanley Kubrick and Christopher Nolan, channelling his war hero uncle – and saving Michelle Pfeiffer’s life

A Traveler’s Needs review – Isabelle Huppert hypnotises in cool Korean comedy of manners

Huppert plays Iris, a modestly dressed French woman living in Korea who gives French lessons according to a strange procedure of her own that does not seem to involve speaking French

From his era-defining work with Art Garfunkel to the sometimes problematic legacy of 80s hit Graceland, Alex Gibney’s documentary strikes a pure and personal note

Terrifier 3 review – killer clown is tooled up for third helping of gleeful gorefest

Not everyone will have the stomach for this much gore, but for genre aficionados this Christmas killing spree is a cut above

Timestalker review – Alice Lowe’s anti-romcom is a darkly hilarious spin through history

The actor and film-maker’s ingenious comedy sees her play a gamut of characters who meet gory ends chasing a not-worth-it love interest

What I Ate in One Year (and Related Thoughts) by Stanley Tucci review – starry friends and tasty morsels

Slop with Ralph Fiennes and champagne with Jilly Cooper – a gastronomical actor’s escapades

Buffalo Kids review – CGI old west adventure with a big, warm heart

Three children and a puppy traverse 19th-century America in this wholesome family film – which is especially admirable for its representation of disability

Tilda Swinton facing life and death, Saoirse Ronan searching wartime London and Pablo Larraín retelling a grand diva’s last days are just a few of this year’s must-sees

La Máquina review – Gael García Bernal’s boxing drama feels like it was written by bashing random keys

This comedy thriller unites Bernal and Diego Luna in a riotous first episode – only to run out of steam. It becomes a groan-inducingly obvious mess of storylines that are just tiring

Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person review – ethical kills for teen bloodsucker

This offbeat coming-of-age horror comedy about a vampire with qualms about killing humans is stylishly shot by first-time feature director Ariane Louis-Seize
