Ka Whawhai Tonu (2024): Dir. Mike Jonathan
Feat. Paku Fernandez, Hinerangi Harawira-Nicholas, Temuera Morrison…; A deeply felt and impressively rendered action-drama centred on two rangitahi caught in a crucial conflict between Maori and colonial soldiers in 1864. Beautifully scripted in Te Reo Maori, and brought to life by a universally excellent cast and sensuous cinematography that doesn’t simply focus on the…
Queer (2025): Dir. Luca Guadagnino
Feat. Daniel Craig; Daniel Craig is drop dead brilliant as the alter ego of William S. Burroughs in this drama based on the author’s 1985 novella about an American émigré looking for meaningful romantic connection in 1950’s Mexico City. Billed as “a Luca Guadagnino love story”, the Italian director of Call Me By…
Last Showgirl, The (2025): Dir. Gia Coppola
Feat. Pamela Anderson, Kiernan Shipka, Jamie Lee Curtis…; A middle-aged Pamela Anderson glitters in more ways than one in this moving portrait of seasoned Las Vegas showgirl in career crisis, directed by Gia Coppola.

Room Next Door, The (2024): Dir. Pedro Almodovar
Feat. Julianne Moore, Tilda Swinton, John Turturro…; A chamber drama starring Swinton and Moore as Close friends who are reunited after of being out of touch for years.

Anora, a sex worker from Brooklyn, gets her chance at a Cinderella story when she meets and marries the…
Sing Sing (2024): Dir. Greg Kwedar
Feat. Colman Domingo, Clarence Maclin, Paul Raci; There’s little song but plenty of creative expression in Sing Sing, a unique, sensitive drama set in an actual correctional facility in New York state that bears that unusual name. Colman Domingo gives a deserved Oscar-nominated performance alongside many real-life ex-prisoners who were once themselves…
Better Man (2024): Dir. Michael Gracey
Feat. Robbie Williams, Steve Pemberton, Alison Steadman; An outlandish musical biopic about Robbie Williams who enjoyed early success with ‘Take That’ and greater heights as a solo performer (Angels, Rock DJ, etc.), only with the inspired twist of having the British popstar being played as a chimpanzee. With this wild novelty, the film freshens a whole…
