It’s either a feast of a famine and it looks like the Hollywood studios think you’ll all be off thinking about your April Fools pranks or something. We’ve only 2 releases this week. One about some German chick (sexist?) and some bloke (sexist?) that likes to ski. As usual we have info and trailers for both.

Victoria (15)

Director: Sebastian Schipper
Starring: Laia Costa, Frederick Lau, Franz Rogowski, Burak Yigit, Max Mauff

Four local Berliners recruit a thrill-seeking Spanish woman (Laia Costa) to be their getaway driver for a bank robbery.

Eddie The Eagle (PG)

Director: Dexter Fletcher
Starring: Taron Egerton, Hugh Jackman, Christopher Walken, Tim McInnerny, Jo Hartley

Cut from the Olympic ski team, British athlete Michael “Eddie” Edwards travels to Germany to test his skills at ski jumping. Fate leads him to Bronson Peary, a former ski jumper who now works as a snowplow driver. Impressed by Edwards’ spirit and determination, Peary agrees to train the young underdog. Despite an entire nation counting him out, Eddie’s never-say-die attitude takes him all the way to a historic and improbable showing at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta.
