Kristen Wiig drama Palm Royale and animation Robot Dreams reviewed, Michael Ondaatje on his new poetry collection

The Independent\u2019s chief film critic Clarisse Loughrey and the Telegraph\u2019s film critic Tim Robey review the Oscar-nominated animation Robot Dreams which follows the friendship of a dog and a robot - can their bond survive Robot being locked up on Coney Island beach, after his joints rust over following a paddle in the sea? They also give their verdict on Apple TV\u2019s drama Palm Royale, in which a former beauty queen longs to join the super-rich ladies who lunch in 1960s Florida.

And on World Poetry Day the author of The English Patient Michael Ondaatje returns to verse in his new collection A Year of Last Things.
