Eternity <\/strong>
Out now
<\/em>Miles Teller and Elizabeth Olsen star, along with Callum Turner, in a\u00a0quirky metaphysical romantic drama from A24, in which, upon arriving in the afterlife, everyone must decide where, and with whom, they would like to spend eternity. Should Olsen\u2019s character pick the man she settled down with (Teller) or her first love (Turner)?<\/p>\n

It Was Just an Accident
<\/strong>Out now<\/em>
This Palme d\u2019Or-winning feature from Iranian director Jafar Panahi blends social realism with political commentary, as a man (Ebrahim Azizi) and his pregnant wife (Afsaneh Najmabadi), travelling with their young daughter (Delmaz Najafi), are involved in a minor car crash.<\/p>\n

Folktales <\/strong>
Out now<\/em>
Documentary-makers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady (Jesus Camp) follow\u00a0a group of teens as they take a\u00a0gap year at a traditional folk high school in Arctic Norway, where the emphasis is less on a traditional curriculum and more on dog sledding and survival skills.<\/p>\n

Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s 2
<\/strong>Out now<\/em>
Based on the second video game in the popular series, this sequel sees Josh Hutcherson reprising his role as night guard Mike Schmidt, and Jim Henson\u2019s Creature Shop back on puppet duty, for this horror about animatronic critters possessed from within by unquiet souls.

The Charlatans
<\/strong>O2 Academy Leeds, 6 December; touring to\u00a012 December
<\/em>Released in October, the Charlatans\u2019 14th album We Are Love found the indie perennials continuing to push their sound via production help from Dev Hynes. Songs such as its psych-tinged title track should sit neatly alongside their best work when played live. Michael Cragg<\/em><\/p>\n

Georgia Mancio Trio
<\/strong>The Verdict, Brighton, 6 December; Peterborough Jazz Club, 14 December
<\/em>This quietly evocative singer has long been a lot more than a standards specialist: she can reinvent Ant\u00f4nio Carlos Jobim classics; skip through fast bebop swingers; and captivate audiences with the storytelling of her originals. She\u2019s accompanied by fine keyboardist Pete Whittaker and drummer Dave Ohm here. John Fordham<\/em><\/p>\n

Barbara Hannigan and Bertrand Chamayou
<\/strong>Wigmore Hall, London, 6 December
<\/em>The fearless Canadian soprano joins forces with the ever-adventurous French pianist for 20th- and 21st-century works. Hannigan sings Messiaen\u2019s song cycle Chants de Terre et de Ciel and Chamayou plays Scriabin, including the late, obsessive Vers la Flamme, before they tackle John Zorn\u2019s Jumalatteret, celebrating the goddesses of Sami Shamanism and described by Hannigan as the hardest thing she\u2019s ever sung. Andrew Clements<\/em><\/p>\n

Jamiroquai
<\/strong>Co-op Live, Manchester, 6 December; touring to 14 December
<\/em>Jay Kay and his jazz-funk band arrive in arenas this week. With work under way on a new album there\u2019s a lot for the diehards, while Virtual Insanity and Canned Heat should soothe the glory hunters. MC<\/em><\/p>\n

Wes Anderson
<\/strong>Design Museum, London, to 26 July
<\/em>The scene in Wes Anderson\u2019s Grand Budapest Hotel when a villain punches a hole in an Egon Schiele painting is one of the funniest art moments in cinema. This and other Anderson films\u00a0are layered confections of design\u00a0and aestheticism. Here he gets\u00a0a retrospective of his exquisite comic sensibility.<\/p>\n

Performing Trees
<\/strong>Whitworth Art<\/a> Gallery, Manchester, to 4 April
<\/em>Do trees actually perform? They do in art, according to this exhibition, and have been doing so for centuries, from orange trees in Renaissance paintings to Romantic firs and impressionist poplars. Trees by C\u00e9zanne, Carracci, Sutherland and George Shaw feature in\u00a0this forest of delights from the Whitworth collection.<\/p>\n

William Nicholson
<\/strong>Pallant House Gallery, Chichester, to\u00a010 May
<\/em>This respected British painter\u2019s life straddled the Victorian and modern ages: he was born in 1872 and lived until 1949. But his most memorable art takes you to the blithely unseeing years of the early 1900s with tender, tranquil, colourful scenes of a world about to be lost to war.<\/p>\n

Monument to the Unimportant
<\/strong>Pace Gallery, London, to 14 February
<\/em>Modern art\u2019s shift from grand narratives to everyday objects \u2013 Coke\u00a0cans, flowers in a vase \u2013 finds expression here. Artists featured include Claes Oldenburg, Rachel Whiteread and Sylvie Fleury, in a survey from pop to now. Jonathan Jones<\/em><\/p>\n

Rob Brydon
<\/strong>Royal Concert Hall, Glasgow, 7 December; touring to 16 December
<\/em>We may not be getting Gavin and Stacey this Christmas, but Uncle Bryn is still spreading the seasonal spirit. Alongside his \u201cfabulous band\u201d, Brydon will combine songs, jokes and his incredible impersonations (sadly Steve Coogan won\u2019t be on hand to critique them). Rachel Aroesti<\/em><\/p>\n

Into the Woods
<\/strong>Bridge theatre, London, to 18 April
<\/em>Director Jordan Fein has a knack for reigniting musicals (see also Fiddler on the Roof). Here he tackles Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine\u2019s entrancing work, which puts a twist on four Grimm tales. With design from the brilliant Tom Scutt. Miriam Gillinson<\/em><\/p>\n

Beauty and the Beast
<\/strong>Northern Stage, Newcastle upon Tyne, to 3 January
<\/em>An all-female creative team helm this year\u2019s panto, directed by Bryony Shanahan and devised by Katie Mitchell and Lucy Kirkwood. Unexpected twists include mischievous fairies, a Thoughtsnatcher machine and a live Insect Orchestra of fleas\u00a0and flies. MG<\/em><\/p>\n

Wee Nutcracker<\/strong>
Tramway, Glasgow, 12 December to Christmas Eve<\/em>
A trip to see the Nutcracker may be Christmas tradition, but the full ballet can be a lot to sit through for small children waiting for their interval ice cream. Step forward Scottish Ballet\u2019s Wee Nutcracker, adapted for kids age 5+, it\u2019s a smaller-scale version of the story, capped at 45 minutes. Lyndsey Winship<\/em><\/p>\n
