Directed by Kelly Reichardt, Meek's Cutoff stars Bruce Greenwood, Michelle Williams and Paul Dano in a tale of pioneers on the famous Oregon Trail. Set in 1845 - in the earliest days of the trail - Greenwood plays a local guide who may or may not know as much as he claims - a real problem for the families who hired him to get them over the Cascade Mountains. Before long they're all lost in a dangerous and desolate landscape.

Now on at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera: Masterpieces of the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection is a much anticipated exhibition of work by two of the best known, and most mythologised, artists of the 20th Century. The show includes six of Kahlo's self-portraits, including Self-Portrait with Monkeys, and on the Diego side, there's the famous Calla Lily Vendors. All this plus lithographs, drawings and collages - and prints by Kahlo's father Guillermo. The Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera exhibition is at IMMA until June 26th and admission is free on Fridays.

Toploader is the new novel from Ed O'Loughlin, author of the Booker-nominated Not Untrue Not Unkind. Agent Cobra - a crooked and incompetent spy - is chasing a dangerous secret from inside The Easy, The Embargoed Zone, the world's first walled-off area exclusively for terrorists and their families. Spying is an expensive business and while Agent Cobra's spymaster, who also has to pay for his daughter's wedding, can only offer payment in kind, Agent Cobra wants to be paid in full - a top-loading American washing machine is not what he has in mind. Toploader is published by Quercus.

Directed by Guillaume Canet, Little White Lies is the story of a group of friends from Paris who go, as usual, on their annual beach holiday. What is different this year is that they are leaving behind one of the group who has been very seriously injured in a road accident. Francois Cluzet plays the holiday host and Oscar winner Marion Cotillard plays the former lover of the injured man and while he may be alone in a Paris hospital, they are determined to have their usual good time.
