A drama about the growing relationship between two Camden dancers is at its strongest when it ditches the dialogue and concentrates on their footwork

Accomplished dancers (rather than screen actors) Cindy Jourdain and Arionel Vargas play star-crossed couple Eva and Oriel, who meet on the streets of Camden, and whose (non) relationship develops in a manner that has something in common with the gentle flow of Before Sunrise.
Despite gesturing toward more serious subject matter (commitment, illness, death, betrayal) this is at its best when treading with light feet. On a couple of occasions the performers break into dance, and I rather wish they had done so more; few of the dialogue scenes match the expressiveness of Vargas's night-time street shuffle, or Jourdain's closing-credit solo.
Rating: 2/5

Gravity (12A)
(Alfonso Cuarón, 2013, Us) Sandra Bullock, George Clooney. 91 mins
A movie to restore your faith in special effects, 3D and cinema in general, Cuarón's space movie arrives here already heaped with well-earned adulation. Like, say, Avatar or Toy Story, it really does expand the frontiers of what cinema can do; unlike them, Gravity is set in, or at least around, the real world. The story is admirably minimalist: two astronauts get stranded in space and try to get home. The visuals are out of this world but there's much more: riveting tension, sympathetic performances, and a spiritual undertone that only adds to the movie's transcendent nature.
How To Survive A Plague (15)
(David France, 2012, Us) 110 mins
A true story with all the elements of a mythic struggle, this bracing documentary recounts how Aids activists – many potential...

Members of the BalletBoyz dance company provide the choreography in this uneven film about dance
Here is a lo-fi indie about dance that won the best UK feature award at last year's Raindance festival. Chris Payne directs, and Michael Nunn and Billy Trevitt of the BalletBoyz dance company provide the choreography. There are some unusual ideas and a self-conscious sort of potential, but it fails to come together. Oriel is a charismatic Cuban dancer who catches the eye of Maya, an elegant young woman, one day on the tube: driven by a sense that he knows her from somewhere, Oriel strikes up a conversation and the two begin a spontaneous, complex relationship. They are played by professional dancers, Arionel Vargas and Cindy Jourdain. I spent this movie wishing I could have watched it in another form, telling the same story as a stage ballet, with Vargas and Jourdain expressing everything through dance.
