From Twisters to Latitude: a complete guide to this week’s entertainment

Going out: Cinema

Twisters
Out now
A sequel to the fondly remembered 1996 action film Twister, this new film also focuses on people who chase storms for kicks, and why not? Actually, the “why not” becomes clear pretty quickly, but you can’t make an action omelette without at least a few characters boldly going where they probably shouldn’t have gone.

Thelma
Out now
Films starring characters over the age of 90 are few and far between, but step forward Thelma Post (June Squibb), the 93-year-old protagonist of writer-director Josh Margolin’s indie comic caper, in which one woman sets out to retrieve $10,000 she’s been scammed into handing over to fraudsters.

Blur: To the End
Out now
Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree formed one of the more successful acts to emerge from the UK’s 1990s Cool Britannia music scene, and have endured in a way that only a very small number of their contemporaries have managed. A new documentary explores why.

Janet Planet
Out now
This 1990s-set mother-daughter drama wowed critics at festivals with its subtle take on a parent and child’s relationship in rural western Massachusetts, and announces debut director Annie Baker as a new voice to watch. Starring Julianne Nicholson and Zoe Ziegler. Catherine Bray

Going out: Gigs

Madeleine Peyroux
Barbican Hall, London, 21 July
A great interpreter of poetic lyrics, whether her own or those of Leonard Cohen or Bob Dylan, singer-songwriter Peyroux displays a rare mix of haunting vulnerability and quiet power. This gig highlights her latest album, Let’s Walk. John Fordham

Latitude
Henham Park, Suffolk, 25 to 28 July
Famed for its multicoloured sheep, beautiful lakes and woods-based singsongs, Latitude festival regularly offers a stellar musical lineup. This year the headliners include Duran Duran, London Grammar and Kasabian. Michael Cragg

Bicep
SWG3, Glasgow, 25 July
Belfast’s Matt McBriar and Andy Ferguson, AKA Bicep, started the year by launching Chroma – a label, event series and hybrid live-DJ audiovisual show. The latter visual spectacular arrives in Glasgow. Expect a sensory overload unlike anything else. MC

BBC National Orchestra of Wales
Royal Albert Hall, London, 22 July
In their first Prom of the summer, the Welsh orchestra and conductor Ryan Bancroft reunite Schoenberg’s early tone poem Pelleas und Melisande with Die Seejungfrau (The Mermaid), Alexander von Zemlinsky’s orchestral fantasy based on Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale. Andrew Clements

Going out: Art

Liaqat Rasul
Tŷ Pawb, Wrexham, to 2 November
There’s more to Welsh town Wrexham than a Hollywood-tinged soccer team. Locally born Liaqat Rasul started out working on the market here when he was still at school, before becoming a fashion designer and artist. He looks back in this homecoming exhibition at the town’s innovative cultural space.

Paris 1924
The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, to 3 November
The last time the Olympics were in Paris, the French capital was the centre of modern art. That year, André Breton published the Surrealist Manifesto and Left Bank cafes were full of wild new ideas and artists. This exhibition includes Robert Delaunay’s kaleidoscopic celebrations of light and modernity.

Phantom Hymn
Modern Art, London, to 14 September
Eerie and troubling images of the human figure haunt this group exhibition by four American and European artists. Michelle Uckotter’s paintings depict women alone in mysterious and sinister settings. Joseph Yaeger specialises in implicitly violent hyperrealist canvases. Michael Ho and Michael E Smith add to the subtle sense of danger.

Lina Iris Viktor
Sir John Soane’s Museum, London, to 19 January
If you’ve never visited this small yet mind-expanding museum then make it a summer treat, for no one leaves without being inspired. Viktor’s exhibition of glistening new works responds to the collection amassed by Soane that spans and summarises world myth. Her global treasures mirror his compendium of sculpture suspended over a crypt. Jonathan Jones

Going out: Stage

Jessie Cave
Dance City, Newcastle upon Tyne, 25 July
Cave’s work epitomises the unboundaried, prolific, staunchly DIY art of the oversharing era. Her new show, An Ecstatic Display, sees her mine her private life in bracingly frank style yet again; topics include monogamy, anxiety and her addiction to giving birth. Rachel Aroesti

Hotbed festival
Cambridge Junction, 20 & 21 July
This small but mighty festival of new writing offers a number of shows about to head on tour, exploring topics from homelessness to the politics of toys. One not to miss is Albatross, Martha Loader’s striking new play about motherhood in the age of climate catastrophe. Kate Wyver

The Daughters of Róisín
Lyric theatre, Belfast, 23 to 26 July
A fallen woman. An archaic attitude. A rallying cry. Inspired by her great-grandmother, Aoibh Johnson’s one-woman play explores state-sanctioned abuse against Irish women who get pregnant out of wedlock. KW

Northern Rascals
Square Chapel Arts Centre, Halifax, 25 to 28 July
An exciting young dance-theatre company based in Yorkshire, Northern Rascals’ new show, Reviving Her, uses the real voices of young women to reflect on the journeys women today make through their lives. Lyndsey Winship
