Movie reviews: Ricki and the Flash, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, No Escape

Ricki and the Flash (12A) opens with rock ‘n’ roll singer Ricki (Meryl Streep) addressing her adoring audience from the stage, 

a moment that takes on a poignant aspect when the camera pulls back and we realise that Ricki — her hair side-braided, and dressed in mid-’80s hippy-chick chic — is playing a dive bar in Tarzana, California.
