She's known to most as Lady Sybil from Downton Abbey, but Jessica Brown-Findlay also puts in a fine lead performance in Albatross, director Niall MacCormick's debut. This week on Film Weekly, Jason Solomons meets the rising star to discuss her role as the sulky teenage temptress in this coming-of-age romance, which is set on the Isle of Man and also stars Sebastian Koch and Julia Ormond.
Jason is also joined by Guardian film critics Peter Bradshaw and Xan Brooks, who drop into the pod to preview this year's BFI London film festival. There's no better guide to the films worth braving Leicester Square for …
Xan and Jason also review some of this week's other big releases including Retreat, starring Thandie Newton, Cillian Murphy and Jamie Bell as a group of isolated travellers who may or may not be witnessing an apocalyptic event, Morgan Spurlock's sell-out spectacular The Greatest Movie Ever Sold and Australian novelist Julia Leigh's sinister directorial debut, Sleeping Beauty.
