What do you make of Maniac? Did The Paperboy deliver? Tell us about the films you've seen this week

See any films over the weekend that left an impression on you (even for all the wrong reasons)? Maybe like Philip French, you also found the subjective camera angle in Maniac more of a gimmick than impressively grisly. Did the drama in The Paperboy leave you wanting in light of its acclaimed cast?

You can read what our critics had to say about these films below. As for you, we'd love to hear any views on the latest releases in the comment thread below, whatever your stance. Over to you.

Maniac

Peter Bradshaw said: The movie is shot from Frank's point of view, and it does have some ingenious and effective moments of horror. I found it intestine-squishingly horrible, but also dreary.

The Paperboy

Philip French said: The highlight is a beach-party scene in which trailer-trash Nicole Kidman resourcefully pees on college dropout Zac Efron's livid burns after he's been stung by jellyfish.
