She said: ''Steph has a different view of social media at the end of it and I hope viewers might think twice about taking pictures like this after watching what she goes through. ''You see the stress, the paranoia, the fear of everybody finding out.

The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug (12A)
(Peter Jackson, 2013, Us/Nz) Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage, Benedict Cumberbatch. 161 mins

(Rama Burshtein, 2012, Isr) Hadas Yaron, Yiftach Klein, Irit Sheleg. 91 mins
The strictures of ultra-orthodox Judaism give this modern-day story a curiously archaic feel,...
