SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY
Director: Ron Howard
Cert: 12A, 135 mins

The Han Solo prequel, by contrast to the more epic, visually stylish Star Wars films, is more of a film noir, with a muted colour palette and morally ambiguous characters.

The film is concerned with questions of what constitutes freedom, and how to achieve it.
