Movie choices

The Wedding Feast, 9.25am, 6.10pm, premieres on Sky Cinema

This remake of Ang Lee’s 1993 comedy-drama covers the same theme of hiding one’s sexuality in exchange for a green card, but in these more open times its premise needs to be doubled down. So we have Angela and Lee (Kelly Marie Tran and Lily Gladstone), a gay couple in Seattle, in the midst of expensive IVF, and their friends Chris (Boen Yang) and Min (Han Ji-chan), who doesn’t recognize his wealthy Korean grandmother. Partner Swapping is a bit comical if it lacks real danger, but it’s an interesting LGBTQ film about marriage and motherhood. Simon Wardle

She plays Iris, who briefly leaves snowy England for Los Angeles, where Cameron Diaz’s Amanda swaps houses with her after a breakup. The love interest comes from Iris’s brother, Graham (Jude Law), and, less swooningly, from Jack Black’s composer, Miles. Southwest
