In this Brexit and Trump era, it feels as though our political and moral views are laid out to bare. We have split down the middle: Two different sides battling for supremacy. People are now more confident to turn around and spout their racist, homophobic, and abhorrent views and even attack others.

This is the subject of dramedy Beatriz at Dinner which pits Salma Hayek and John Lithgow against one another. As the title suggest, the film revolves around a dinner party where holistic medicine practitioner Beatriz is invited alongside rich, wealthy, and white neighbours.

With Connie Britton, Jay Duplass, Chloe Sevigny, and more, this looks to be a riveting conversational; based thriller which, let me remind you, pits Salma Hayek and John Lithgow against one another in a tete a tete of political discussion.
What do you think?
Beatriz at Dinner is out 9 June!
