CAST: Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, Benny Safdie, Brie Larson, Donald Glover, Glen Powell, Kevin Michael Richardson, Luis Guzmán, Issa Rae, Juliet Jelenic, Ed Skudder

CREW: Aaron Hovarth and Michael Jelenic (directors), Matthew Fogel (writer), Christopher Meledandri and Shigeru Miyamoto (producers), Brian Tyler (composer), TBA (editor)

PLOT: When the Mushroom Kingdom comes under threat with the arrival of Bowser Jr. (Safdie), who seeks to reclaim his imprisoned father Bowser (Black), the plumber brothers Mario (Pratt) and Luigi (Day), along with familiar faces Princess Peach (Taylor-Joy) and Toad (Key), take to the stars for a cosmic adventure, where they meet new friends including Princess Rosalina (Larson) and a creature known as Yoshi (Glover)…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• Return to Illumination’s glorious big-screen version of the beloved Mario video game franchise with a truly out-of-this-world sequel that expands this delightful universe
• Once again taking heavy inspiration from the games, specifically Super Mario Galaxy, the film lovingly recreates everything fans know and love about Mario and the magical worlds he visits
• Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy and Jack Black are just some of the returning voice cast, while new additions include Oscar-winner Brie Larson and filmmaker/actor Benny Safdie
• It sees the big-screen debut of the beloved character Yoshi in all his glory – and no, whatever that thing in the infamous 1993 Super Mario Bros Movie was doesn’t count – but there may also be some extra surprises in store for die-hard fans of the Nintendo brand
• If you’ve ever played a Mario game in your life, you’ll feel as energised and playful as you did when you experienced the previous movie!

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is showing in cinemas from Wednesday 1 April 2026

CAST: Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, Hailey Benton Gates, Zoë Winters, Anna Baryshnikov

CREW: Kristoffer Borgli (director, writer), Ari Aster, Tyler Campellone and Lars Knudsen (producers), Daniel Pemberton (composer), Arseni Khachaturan (cinematographer), Joshua Raymond Lee (editor)

PLOT: In the days leading up to their wedding, the relationship between Emma (Zendaya) and Charlie (Pattinson) is rocked by startling revelations that one discovers about the other…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• You’re cordially invited to the most uncomfortable cinematic wedding of the year in a pitch-black comedy that tests the moral complexities of our bride and groom
• Zendaya and Robert Pattinson form easy but slowly disintegrating chemistry as a couple with vicious and rather shocking skeletons in their respective closets
• It’s the third overall film by Kristoffer Borgli, a fast-growing master of dark comedy after his previous satires Sick of Myself and Dream Scenario
• There’s no guessing where things will go as the situation begins to erupt around not just the soon-to-be newlyweds but their friends, family and overbearing wedding officials
• Like Borgli’s previous work, you’ll certainly walk away with a great deal of discomfort, but the strong appeal of its two stars will (hopefully) make it all go down much smoother

The Drama is showing in cinemas from Friday 3 April 2026

CAST: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Theo James, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sam Worthington, Saffron Hocking, Elham Ehsas, Honor Swinton Byrne

CREW: David Mackenzie (director, producer), Ben Hopkins (writer), Gillian Berrie and Sébastien Raybaud (producers), Tony Doogan (composer), Giles Nuttgens (cinematographer), Matt Mayer (editor)

PLOT: Major Will Tranter (Taylor-Johnson), a bomb disposal expert, is called in to investigate an unexploded bomb from the Second World War after it’s discovered on a busy construction site, unaware that a group of thieves led by Karalis (James) are using the chaos to commit a daring jewel heist…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• This nail-biting British thriller is a literal ticking time bomb that will leave you sweating more and more as it counts further down to an inevitable explosion
• David Mackenzie, best known for the Oscar-nominated Hell or High Water, directs an intense script by Ben Hopkins who previously wrote the Willem Dafoe vehicle Inside
• There are some impressive names among the cast, including Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Theo James as two very different protagonists approaching the situation with competing purposes
• It easily fluctuates between Hurt Locker-style bomb thriller and a heist movie to rival the likes of Heat and Ocean’s Eleven, giving plenty for audiences everywhere to chew on
• As everything comes down to the wire, you’ll find yourself lost in a well-executed environment that could go off at any moment

Fuze is showing in cinemas from Friday 3 April 2026

CAST: Jodhi May, Emma Matthews, Christopher Petit, Louis Petit

CREW: Christopher Petit (director, writer, cinematographer, editor), Emma Matthews (director, cinematographer, editor), Jussi Eerola (producer, editor), Mika Taanila (producer), Rio Harada-Parr (composer)

PLOT: Filmmakers Emma Matthews and Christopher Petit reflect on the experiences of their son Louis, whose epilepsy has caused him to forget his childhood memories…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• This is a heartbreaking yet hopeful visual essay that comes from a deeply personal place and has plenty to say about the world beyond our eyes
• Emma Matthews and Christopher Petit share personal footage of them and their epileptic son Louis Petit, whose condition and its unfortunate consequences are bravely laid bare here
• Accompanying the cerebral footage is narration by actor Jodhi May, who provides a warm and inviting pathway into this family’s life and the hardships they’ve been dealt
• It tackles numerous other subjects surrounding Louis’s condition, such as the bureaucracy that has engulfed the NHS and the technology that prices itself way out of reach from those who need it most
• A truly unique cinematic experience, this movie also comes with a significant amount of heart and care by filmmakers who truly love their son and want the best for him, as any parent would

D is for Distance is showing in cinemas from Friday 3 April 2026

CAST: Kim Novak

CREW: Alexandre O. Philippe (director, writer), Terri Piñon (producer), Jon Hegel (composer), Robert Muratore (cinematographer), David Lawrence (editor)

PLOT: A celebration of legendary actor Kim Novak, the star of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic thriller Vertigo…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• Filmmaker Alexandre O. Philippe’s latest cinematic video essay is a fascinating dive into the life and career of a true Hollywood legend
• Kim Novak’s story is explored via archive footage and interviews with the star herself, as she reflects on her journey to the screen
• Particular focus is placed on her most famous role in the Hitchcock classic, and how she never quite found success like that ever again
• The film made its world premiere out of competition at last year’s Venice Film Festival, where Novak was awarded an honorary Golden Lion for her services to film history
• It’s your chance to find out more about the mysterious icon than you ever may have found out before!

Kim Novak’s Vertigo is showing in cinemas from Friday 3 April 2026

CAST: Ola Henningsen, Per Henningsen, Tone Henningsen, Amalie Holtegaard, Lasse Kortegaard Kristensen, Arnkjell Ruud

CREW: Ragnhild Nøst Bergem (director, writer, cinematographer, editor), Hans Lukas Hansen, Eirin O. Høgetveit and Even Vesterhus (producers), Eivind Hannisdal (composer), Helge Billing and Stefan Sundlöf (editors)

PLOT: Ola Henningsen is a 30-year-old man with a mild intellectual disability living in the small Norwegian village of Vidaråsen, where he attempts to figure out how to live his life…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• You’ll fall in love with Ola Henningsen and his world when you see him in action during filmmaker Ragnhild Nøst Bergem’s heartfelt documentary
• We step into the community of Vidaråsen, where those with and without disabilities live harmoniously among the 150-people population
• As Ola’s journey toward independence and self-sufficiency escalates, you realise how easy it is for other places around the world to adopt such a welcoming and open-minded attitude towards disability
• Unsurprisingly, the film has become quite beloved among audiences in its native Norway, with many praising the film’s nonexploitative and compassionate portrayal of those with learning difficulties
• It offers such life-affirming messages about inclusivity and acceptance, which we desperately need so much more of in our everyday society

Being Ola is showing in cinemas from Friday 3 April 2026

CAST: Gabriel Faryas, Cirillo Luna, Henrique Barreira, Ivo Müller, Kaya Rodrigues, Larissa Sanguiné, Gabriela Greco, Antonio Czamanski

CREW: Filipe Matzembacher and Marcio Reolon (directors, writers, producers), Jéssica Luz and Paola Wink (producers), Arthur Decloedt, Thiago Pethit and Charles Tixier (composers), Luciana Baseggio (cinematographer), Germano de Oliveira (editor)

PLOT: In Brazil, Matias (Faryas) is an aspiring actor who begins a passionate affair with local mayoral candidate Rafael (Luna), and together they discover a fetish for being intimate in public places…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• Things get seriously racy in a Brazilian erotic thriller that is as stylish as it is provocative in all the right ways
• Actors Gabriel Faryas and Cirillo Luna share intimate chemistry as two very different lovers who share a wild and extreme sexual thrill that could cost them everything
• The film’s visual style, enforced by visionary filmmakers Filipe Matzembacher and Marcio Reolon, recalls the works of Brian De Palma and Paul Verhoeven, while still feeling unique to those auteurs
• It handles several themes such as success and pleasure in ways that are thought-provoking as well as quite daring in places
• With Brazilian cinema having a moment right now as I’m Still Here and The Secret Agent wow international audiences, this is a further reminder of how engaging and essential films from that region can be

Night Stage is showing in cinemas from Friday 3 April 2026

CAST: Karine Gonthier-Hyndman, Laurence Leboeuf, Mani Soleymanlou, Félix Moati, Sophie Nélisse, Juliette Gariépy, Isabelle Brouillette, Jean-Sébastien Girard, Patrick Abellard

CREW: Chloé Robichaud (director), Catherine Léger (writer, producer), Martin Paul-Hus (producer), Philippe Brault (composer), Sara Mishara (cinematographer), Matthieu Bouchard (editor)

PLOT: In the suburbs of Montreal, Florence (Gonthier-Hyndman) and Violette (Leboeuf) are neighbours and mothers who feel unfulfilled with their lives, but when one of them experiences a sexual awakening after beginning an affair, they are faced with some difficult choices…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• The latest film from Canadian filmmaker Chloé Robichaud takes a careful and considerate look at modern female liberation
• It is an update of the influential 1970 comedy Two Women in Gold, which became one of the most successful films to emerge out of the province of Quebec
• Lead actors Karine Gonthier-Hyndman and Laurence Leboeuf are enthralling as two women (of course) who could not be more different yet extremely similar to one another
• The film made its world debut at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, where it won a Special Jury Award within the World Cinema (Dramatic) section
• Anyone who’s ever gone through the testing trials of suburban motherhood will find something to recognise in this vital and relatable story

Two Women is showing in cinemas from Friday 3 April 2026

CAST: Audrey Tautou, Mathieu Kassovitz, Rufus, Lorella Cravotta, Serge Merlin, Jamel Debbouze, Clotilde Mollet, Claire Maurier, Isabelle Nanty, Dominique Pinon, Artus de Penguern, Yolande Moreau, Urbain Cancelier, Maurice Bénichou, Michel Robin, Andrée Damant, Claude Perron, Armelle, Ticky Holgando, Fabienne Chaudat, Flora Guiet, Amaury Babault, Kevin Fernandes, André Dussollier

CREW: Jean-Pierre Jeunet (director, writer), Guillaume Laurant (writer), Arne Meerkamp van Embden and Claudie Ossard (producers), Yann Tiersen (composer), Bruno Delbonnel (cinematographer), Hervé Schneid (editor)

PLOT: In Paris, imaginative young waitress Amélie (Tautou) sets out on a quest to help the people around her find happiness, and in the process manages to discover what makes her happy…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• The iconically whimsical French comedy makes a quirky return to cinemas with an all-new 4K restoration for its 25th anniversary
• Director and co-writer Jean-Pierre Jeunet gained immense recognition for his eccentric vision and storytelling methods, while Audrey Tautou was catapulted to international stardom for her lively turn as the titular character
• It quickly became a breakout hit across the world, even gaining numerous Oscar and BAFTA nominations which, at the time, was rare for a film not in the English language
• Last year, The New York Times named the film one of its “100 Best Movies of the 21st Century” (thus far), while its appeal has grown to a point where even a stage musical inspired by the film was created
• All these years later, it remains a delightful romp that any cinephile can appreciate for its natural ability to put a smile on even the biggest grump’s face!

Amélie is showing in cinemas from Friday 3 April 2026
