Lucy Punch's middle-class antihero returns in the much-loved Motherland spin-off, Amandaland, which focuses on the delusional, narcissistic mum Amanda. Reviewer Rachel Aroesti praised Punch's portrayal as 'mesmerisingly convincing', with Joanna Lumley also magnetic as Amanda's mother, Felicity.
Olof Dreijer, one half of the Knife, presents an album of dazzlingly inventive psychedelia. The week's culture picks, taken from the Guardian's best-rated reviews, also include a retrospective on David Attenborough's greatest TV moments, packed with brilliant anecdotes.
Other highlights include a gasp-inducing documentary about a man's love for bumblebees that changed his life, and a period comedy starring Mandy Patinkin as a Rhode Island robber baron, described as a singular work of art with 'cold steel hidden in the folds of its grubby velvet gown'.
Carla Simón's distinctive drama follows a young woman arriving in a Spanish coastal city to meet her dead father's family, who hide information about his life and death. Reviewer Peter Bradshaw noted Simón's 'instinctive and almost miraculous way of immersing herself within extended freewheeling family scenes'.
Documentaries include Orban Wallace's film on right-to-roam campaigners, offering bacchanalian antics and a heartfelt message, and Lee Sang-il's heartfelt kabuki drama spanning 50 years of bond and rivalry between two men playing female roles in traditional art.
Family-friendly fare includes Hugh Jackman as a farmer in a Babe-style film about plucky sheep solving a murder, and Chadian writer-director Mahamat Saleh Haroun's beautifully gentle film about two boys' forlorn attempt to find their father. A landmark new account of the 1979 revolution provides context for current events.
