CAST: Ruth Madeley, Mark Ruffalo, Dylan O’Brien, Madeline Delp, Rob Delaney, Ray Fisher, Michael Patrick Thornton, Antwan Tolliver, Daniel Durant, Jon Beavers, Roberta Colindrez, Russell Harvard, Charlie Rush-Reese, Joe Cobden, Andrew Pilkington, Siena Rafter, Matthew Jeffers, Rein Barcel, D’Arcee Charington Neal, Will Brill, Rio Finnegan

CREW: Sian Heder (director, writer, producer), Rebekah Taussig (writer), John W. Beach, Kevin Cleary, David Permut and Kevin J. Walsh (producers), Francesco Le Metre (composer), Jamie Ramsay (cinematographer), Geraud Brisson (editor)

PLOT: In 1977, disability activist Judy Heumann (Madeley) leads a demonstration that sees her and numerous other disabled people occupy a federal building in order to push government official Joseph A. Califano Jr. (Ruffalo) into signing Section 504, a piece of legislation granting those with disabilities human rights…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• For her first film since her Best Picture winning crowd-pleaser CODA, director and co-writer Sian Heder tackles an important and hugely inspirational piece of history
• It tells the remarkable true story of disability activist Judy Heumann and how she led a 28-day sit-in that sought to pass legislation giving disabled people basic human rights
• Ruth Madeley, of Doctor Who and Years and Years fame, is fantastic as Heumann herself, and has formidable support from a cast that largely includes actual disabled actors (as well as able-bodied allies like Mark Ruffalo, Dylan O’Brien and Rob Delaney)
• You’ll find yourself won over by these characters not just because of their disability, but how Heder and co-writer Rebekah Taussig frame them as complex, morally ambiguous people
• There’s a real winning energy felt throughout the film that could well propel Heder back to the Oscars for the second consecutive time!

Being Heumann is showing in cinemas and streaming exclusively on Apple TV from Friday 13 November 2026

CAST: Johnny Depp, Rupert Grint, Andrea Riseborough, Tramell Tillman, Daisy Ridley, Ian McKellen, Sam Claflin, Ellie Bamber, Nicholas Day, Charlie Murphy, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Arthur Conti

CREW: Ti West (director, editor), Nathaniel Halpern (writer), Emma Watts (producer), Tyler Bates (composer), Checco Varese (cinematographer), David Kashevaroff (editor)

PLOT: In Victorian England, cynical old miser Ebenezer Scrooge (Depp) is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve who attempt to show him the error of his ways…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• After some time away from the screen due to the fallout from public legal trials, Johnny Depp returns with a characteristically eccentric new take on a classic Dickensian character
• X and Pearl filmmaker Ti West directs this fresh new adaptation of A Christmas Carol, which tells the timeless story with some fun new add-ons that make the material feel fresh once again
• Joining Depp in the cast are various heavy-hitters like Ian McKellen, Severance breakout Tramell Tillman, Oscar-nominee Andrea Riseborough, and respective Harry Potter and Star Wars veterans Rupert Grint and Daisy Ridley
• There’s plenty of laughs, scares and tears that often come with any adaptation of A Christmas Carol, which are brought to life by some playful filmmaking and, of course, some fun performances
• Whether or not you’re still a fan of Depp after everything that’s transpired, it’ll be cool to see him back in his element for the first time in a while

Ebenezer is showing in cinemas from Friday 13 November 2026

CAST: Nicholas Hoult, Zoë Kravitz, Anna Sawai, Rhenzy Feliz, Pete Davidson, John C. Reilly, Christian Slater, Tati Gabrielle

CREW: David Leitch (director, producer), Mark Bianculli (writer, producer), Jeb Brody, Brian Grazer, Allan Mandelbaum and Kelly McCormick (producers), Dominic Lewis (composer), Jonathan Sela (cinematographer), Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir (editor)

PLOT: A group of bank robbers, led by Ryan (Hoult), begin broadcasting their criminal heists on social media, prompting them to be targeted by law enforcement while also gaining an unexpected following…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• The classic heist movie popularised by Heat and Ocean’s Eleven is brought into the 21st century with a timely exploration of how far people will go to achieve online notoriety
• Director David Leitch brings his usual high-energy, stunt-heavy style to an action-packed thriller filled with twists and turns that nobody will see coming
• The ensemble cast includes Nicholas Hoult, Zoë Kravitz, SNL veteran Pete Davidson and respected character actor John C. Reilly
• It features some heavy commentary on the powerful presence of social media in our lives, and how modern-day criminals can become just as famous as other, more vacuous influencers thanks to their knowledge of the online system
• Audiences can expect a fun, high-octane thrill ride that reinvents the heist formula for an all-new generation

How to Rob a Bank is showing in cinemas from Friday 13 November 2026

CAST: Sebastian Stan, Renate Reinsve, Lisa Carlehed, Henrikke Lund-Olsen, Vanessa Ceban, Jonathan Ciprian Breazu, Ellen Dorrit Petersen, Lisa Loven Kongsli, Markus Tønseth

CREW: Cristian Mungiu (director, writer, producer), Kristina Börjeson, Pascal Caucheteux, Adela Vrânceanu Celibidache, Dyveke Bjørkly Graver, Emilia Haukka, Mikkel Jersin, Vincent Maraval, Andrea Berentsen Ottmar, Marco Perego, Katrin Pors, Jussi Rantamäki, Grégoire Sorlat, Mimmi Spång and Sean Wheelan (producers), Kaspar Kaae (composer), Tudor Vladimir Panduru (cinematographer), Mircea Olteanu (editor)

PLOT: Mihai (Stan), a Romanian engineer, and Lisbet (Reinsve), his Norwegian wife, are a deeply devout couple who have recently moved to a village in Norway with their children whom they raise under their conservative views, but an accusation of abuse puts them in the crosshairs of their progressive community…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• This year’s Palme D’Or winner is a thoughtful and quietly devastating study of conservatism vs liberalism that neither condemns nor condones either side
• It’s a mesmerising piece by Romanian filmmaker Cristian Mungiu who crafts a powerful study of family values and community in a world where few are willing to listen or communicate due to their contrasting beliefs
• Oscar nominees Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve are nothing short of fantastic as the beleaguered conservative parents thrust into the spotlight after some heartbreaking accusations
• In addition to winning the top prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, the film automatically qualifies for contention in this year’s International Feature Film Oscar, which has just tweaked its rules to allow recipients of certain festival awards to enter without needing to be submitted by a country
• There’ll be some healthy debate that audiences will want to engage in after they’ve seen the heavily complex scenario unfold in front of their very eyes

Fjord is showing in cinemas from Friday 13 November 2026

CAST: Cynthia Erivo, Daniel Ings, Toheeb Jimoh, Elizabeth Dulau, Harry Treadaway, Khalid Abdalla, Elliot Levey, Noma Dumezweni, Simon Russell Beale, Sarah Junillon

CREW: Susanna White (director), Suzie Miller (writer), David Jowsey, Kevin Loader and Greer Simpkin (producers), Mike Eley (cinematographer), Justine Wright (editor)

PLOT: Tessa Ensler (Erivo) is an ambitious and successful defence barrister who suddenly finds herself on the opposite side of the legal system after she is brutally assaulted…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• The acclaimed play by Suzie Miller, previously brought to the stage as a Jodie Comer one-woman show, is adapted into an equally compelling feature film
• Oscar-nominee Cynthia Erivo fills in for Comer as the lawyer at the centre of a devastatingly personal case, and she commands the screen with a fiercely emotional lead turn
• It’s directed by Susanna White, who previously directed Our Kind of Traitor and Woman Walks Ahead, as well as various episodes of acclaimed shows like Andor, Boardwalk Empire and The Deuce
• The film tackles some heavy themes which will no doubt make some viewers uncomfortable, but are handled with admirable grace that make you see the stark reality surrounding them
• Anyone who saw the theatre production will definitely want to check this movie out, if only to see how it compares to the stage version

Prima Facie is showing in cinemas from Friday 13 November 2026

CAST: David Wilkinson

CREW: David Wilkinson (director, writer, producer), Emlyn Price (writer), Christopher Barnett (composer), Nick Blair and Don McVey (cinematographers), Laura Calzada and Jon Walker (editors)

PLOT: After being diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer, filmmaker David Wilkinson sets out to investigate the disease and why it is affecting more and more people…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• This passionate documentary could very well save more than a few lives, as it dives deep into the devastating symptoms and causes of a specific type of cancer
• It’s fronted by filmmaker David Wilkinson, himself a cancer patient, who brings a personal and honest lens to the issue at hand
• His investigation into bowel cancer produces some unlikely results, and includes input from various medical professionals and academics, as well as high-profile sufferers like Chadwick Boseman and James Van Der Beek (both appearing via archive footage)
• It really is a thorough examination, as it clocks in at a lengthy two-and-a-half hours, almost as long as The Odyssey!
• Anyone who has experience with cancer or may be concerned about their own health will definitely find this to be a useful and potentially life-saving film to watch

1 in 2 is showing in cinemas from Friday 13 November 2026

CAST: Vincent Munier, Michel Munier, Simon Munier

CREW: Vincent Munier (director, producer, cinematographer, editor), Laurent Baujard and Pierre-Emmanuel Fleurantin (producers), Warren Ellis, Dom La Nena and Rosemary Standley (composers), Laurent Joffrion (cinematographer, editor), Antoine Lavorel (cinematographer)

PLOT: Wildlife photographer Vincent Munier embarks on a cinematic journey through the Vosges forests…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• Award-winning photographer turned filmmaker Vincent Munier has created a stunning work of art that is on par with some of his most exquisite wildlife imagery
• Now on his second feature after The Velvet Queen, Munier not only undertakes a much more ambitious ordeal through nature, but also incorporates several generations of his own family into the narrative
• Throughout, we see some truly astonishing footage of various and sometimes quite rare wild animals, including the Western Capercaille, the Eurasian Lynx, and many others
• Legendary musician Warren Ellis has also been brought on board to contribute an atmospheric and soothing score that highlights the raw beauty of the wilderness
• It’s a must-watch for any wildlife enthusiasts who have been eager to get up close to some of the most striking parts of our fascinating natural world

Whispers in the Woods is showing in cinemas from Friday 13 November 2026

CAST: Soraya Akhalaghi

CREW: Mehrdad Oskouei (director, writer, producer), Soraya Akhalaghi (director, cinematographer), Siavesh Jami (writer), Afshin Azizi (composer), Amir Adibparvar (editor)

PLOT: Soraya Akhalaghi, a teenage Afghan artist, documents her efforts to flee her abusive marriage in Iran for the sanctuary of Austria…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• Afghan creative Soraya Akhalaghi is the central figure of a compelling self-portrait that shows her vulnerabilities as well as her strengths
• The artist also co-directs with award-winning filmmaker Mehrdad Oskouei, who remotely compiled hours’ worth of Soraya’s self-recorded footage into a nerve-wracking and distressing cinematic narrative
• While it shows the harsh details of her tumultuous Iranian marriage, the film also serves as a celebration of her art, with surreal animations bringing to life some of her more imaginative works
• It creates a distinctive blend of documentary, prison escape thriller, and vivid creativity that audiences will find endlessly fascinating
• You’ll definitely be rooting for Soraya to take control of her own destiny, especially in a part of the world where women like her are not even given a chance to experience that luxury

A Fox Under a Pink Moon is showing in cinemas from Friday 13 November 2026

CAST: Tenzin Kunsel, Sonam Choekyi, Tsering Bawa, Tsering Gyatso, Lobsang Tenzin, Tsering Dolma, Kelsang Dolma, Sherab Sangpo

CREW: Kunsang Kyirong (director, writer, producer), Joaquin Cardoner and Kristina Wong (producers), Tashi Dorji (composer), Nikolay Michaylov (cinematographer), Brendan Mills (editor)

PLOT: In the Tibetan neighbourhood of Parkdale, Toronto, Kunsel (Kunsel) is a young thief who meets and befriends new immigrant Passang (Choekyi), and together they attempt to break free from the cultural expectations of their community…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• This soulful debut feature from Tibetan-Canadian filmmaker Kunsang Kyirong is a quiet and studious look at community and culture that has rarely been depicted on screen
• Various unknown local actors play characters who confront or embrace their cultural roots with staggering humanity
• Kyirong announces herself as an atmospheric filmmaker through her experimental and gently surreal direction, while telling a story that connects with outsiders of all types
• The film received an honourable mention in the Best Canadian Discovery award at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival
• Discover a world hidden in plain sight that offers plenty of rich cinematic storytelling as well as fascinating cultural strands

100 Sunset is showing in cinemas from Friday 13 November 2026

CAST: Jessica Chastain, John Hawkes, Carter Faith, Garrett Hedlund, Jennifer Nettles, Ross Lynch, Ben Dickey, Isabelle Kusman, Wynn Everett

CREW: Shana Feste (director, writer), Peter Chernin, Mark Anthony Little, Jason Owen, Randall Poster and Jenno Topping (producers), Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans (composers), Khalid Mohtaseb (cinematographer), Dominic LaPerriere (editor)

PLOT: Misty Jones (Chastain), a former country music superstar, reemerges in Nashville, Tennessee to investigate the sudden disappearance of her niece, rising musician Charlie Heart (Faith)…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• The seedy underbelly of American’s home to country music is on full display in a twisty thriller that will make you never look at Nashville in the same way
• Oscar-winner Jessica Chastain fronts a cast that also includes character actors like John Hawkes, Garrett Hedlund, Jennifer Nettles, and real-life country singer Carter Faith
• It’s written and directed by Shana Feste, whose previous film Run Sweetheart Run was a fascinating (if not always for the intended reasons) thriller that twisted certain everyday concepts, as this movie also hopes to do
• Mixing cheery country ballads in the middle of intense, often violent scenes of corruption and criminality is a risky venture, but under Feste’s fierce direction it more than pays off
• With the recent passing of Nashville icon Dolly Parton, the Tennessee city has never been more prominent in the public consciousness, which this film will surely expand even further

Heartland is streaming exclusively on Netflix from Friday 13 November 2026

CAST: Richard Avedon

CREW: Ron Howard (director, producer), Sara Bernstein, Brian Grazer, Dallas Brennan Rexer, Christopher St. John and Justin Wilkes (producers), David Fleming (composer), Robert Chappell (cinematographer), Andrew Morreale (editor)

PLOT: The life and career of celebrated American photographer Richard Avedon…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• Oscar-winner Ron Howard’s latest biographical documentary takes a snapshot look at a titan figure within the world of visual culture
• The filmmaker gathers never-before-seen archive footage of photographer Richard Avedon and compiles it into a seamlessly edited collection of wonder for audiences to engross themselves in
• Some of the various interviewees and high-profile background fodder include model Twiggy, actor Isabella Rossellini, fashion designer Calvin Klein and many others, all of whom share their own experiences with Avedon
• The film pays close attention to Avedon’s heavy contributions to 20th century culture, as well as aspects of his deeply private personal life
• It’s a fascinating celebration of an artist who gave it his all in the short amount of time he was alive, enough to inspire countless other creatives who have come in his wake

Avedon is streaming exclusively on Netflix from Wednesday 11 November 2026

CAST: Durrell “Tank” Babbs, Fantasia Barrino, Fred Hammond, Ann Nesby, Shirley Caesar, Hezekiah Walker, Jacky Clark Chisholm, Twinkie Clark, Dorinda Clark, Karen Clark Sheard, Ricco Ross, Chanté Moore, Yolanda Adams, CeCe Winans, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, John Gray, Daniel “Dax” Nwosu Jr., Carl Lentz, Lauren Chanel, Mason Douglas, Eric Wiltz

CREW: Tyler Perry (director, writer, producer), Angi Bones and Tony L. Strickland (producers), TBA (composer), TBA (cinematographer), TBA (editor)

PLOT: After inheriting his family’s failing church in a rundown New York City neighbourhood, struggling pastor Isaac (Babbs) moves his family to the area where he is tasked with restoring the church to its former glory in time for the holiday season…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• Tyler Perry is back with a faith-based festive movie that will stir your soul and understand the true meaning of Christmas
• He’s assembled a fine ensemble of musicians-turned-actors, including Grammy-nominated singer Tank and The Colour Purple star (and former American Idol winner) Fantasia Barrino
• There are also appearances from some of the most well-known voices in gospel music, all of whom come together for a tender and heartfelt story of community and faith
• It is that collection of gospel singers and their songs that reportedly inspired Perry to make this movie, which appropriately features a vast number of them on the soundtrack
• Those looking for a Christmas movie with a bit more of the good old-fashioned Christian values will find this to be a holy viewing experience

The Gospel of Christmas is streaming exclusively on Netflix from Wednesday 11 November 2026

CAST: David Bowie, Rip Torn, Candy Clark, Buck Henry, Bernie Casey, Jackson D. Kane, Rick Riccardo, Tony Mascia, Adrienne La Russa, Albert Nelson, Claudia Jennings, Jim Lovell

CREW: Nicolas Roeg (director), Paul Mayersberg (writer), Michael Deeley and Barry Spikings (producers), John Phillips and Stomu Yamashta (composers), Anthony Richmond (cinematographer), Graeme Clifford (editor)

PLOT: A humanoid alien named Thomas Jerome Newton (Bowie) travels to Earth on a mission to bring its water back to his home planet, but soon he becomes consumed by humanity’s vices and corruption…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• The mind-bending sci-fi classic from director Nicolas Roeg is being beamed back into cinemas for its landmark 50th anniversary
• It became most notable for being the first starring role of music icon David Bowie, who is perfectly cast as an alien finding himself succumbing to the worst of humanity
• Despite mixed reviews at the time, it has become a cult favourite by many who see it as being one of the most defining sci-fi movies of the 20th century
• Its legacy even inspired a recent sequel miniseries, starring Oscar nominees Chiwetel Ejiofor, Naomie Harris and Bill Nighy (the latter taking on Bowie’s role)
• The movie remains a timeless study of human nature through the eyes of someone from beyond our planet’s atmosphere, and will no doubt win over plenty of new fans with this re-release!

The Man Who Fell to Earth is showing in cinemas from Friday 13 November 2026

CAST: Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, Jusy Davis, Steve Coogan, Rip Torn, Rose Byrne, Asia Argento, Molly Shannon, Shirley Henderson, Danny Huston, Marianne Faithfull, Mary Nighy, Jamie Dornan, Al Weaver, Sarah Adler, Sebastian Armesto, Clémentine Poidatz, Céline Sallette, Aurore Clément, Guillaume Gallienne, Jean-Christophe Bouvet, Tom Hardy, James Lance, Mathieu Amalric, Joseph Malerba, André Oumansky

CREW: Sofia Coppola (director, writer, producer), Ross Katz (producer), Dustin O’Halloran (composer), Lance Acord (cinematographer), Sarah Flack (editor)

PLOT: In 18th century France, teenage Austrian archduchess Marie Antoinette (Dunst) travels to Paris where she is wed to Louis-Auguste (Schwartzman), the Dauphin and later King of France, where she experiences a life of extravagant wealth and luxury until the French Revolution brings it crumbling down…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• Let them eat more than just cake, as Sofia Coppola’s lively and stylish historical epic returns to cinemas for its 20th anniversary
• The filmmaker’s follow-up to her Oscar-winning drama Lost in Translation was an ambitious retelling of the French monarch’s short but memorable life with lavish costumes and an anachronistic soundtrack giving it oodles of personality
• Kirsten Dunst, who previously starred in Coppola’s breakout feature The Virgin Suicides, gives a magnetic lead turn in a cast that also includes Jason Schwartzman, Steve Coogan, as well as early roles for later Oscar nominees Rose Byrne and Tom Hardy
• It was met with a polarising response at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, but appreciation for it grew over time and is regarded as one of the more unique costume dramas of the 21st century (to where it even won the Oscar for Costume Design that year!)
• Make sure you indulge yourself in the uncompromising world that Coppola presents in a film that will stand the test of time across another twenty years!

Marie Antoinette is showing in cinemas from Friday 13 November 2026
