Like the warmth of a familiar melody, there’s a quiet electricity humming beneath its surface, guiding every beat of this tender tale.

Based on a true story, the film follows Lightning & Thunder, two tribute performers whose devotion to the songs of Neil Diamond becomes both their anchor and their compass. As they navigate late-blooming romance, unexpected reinvention, and the awkward grace of second chances, the music grows into a shared language that steadies them when words fall short.

What unfolds is a gently glowing celebration of connection, artistry, and the brave delight of stepping into the spotlight long after life has tried to dim it. With humour, heart, and a whisper of stage-lights-at-dusk magic, the film reminds us that it’s never too late to chase the tune your heart insists on playing.

Martin Clunes balances his side turn in Wuthering Heights this month with another, very different rural English drama: an amiable West Country story of family brought together by real-ale-making.

After years away, young Cal returns to his Somerset village and struggles to reconnect with his family, as their small pub threatens to disappear without large and immediate funds. To survive, they decide to try brewing their own beer, and entering it into the national competition – while, hopefully, finding recovery from the past and new life together. The makers of Finding Your Feet and the Fisherman’s Friends films provide another unambitious but charming regional comedy, one that balances broad laughs, family drama, and a stirring underdog story. The story is buoyed no end by a great cast including Clunes, Mark Addy, and The Inbetweeners’ James Buckley.

Timothée Chalamet is the one to beat as he goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness in this gripping, adrenaline-riddled solo debut from writer/director Josh Safdie.

Playing ambitious table tennis prodigy Marty Mauser, he barrels through a world of eccentric rivals, high‑stakes matches and personal turmoil, grounded only by childhood friend Rachel (Odessa A'zion). The supporting cast, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin O'Leary and Tyler, The Creator, adds depth and energy, making every encounter feel vivid and alive.

Already generating significant awards-season buzz for Best Actor and Best Picture, Marty Supreme is a thrilling, emotionally charged ride that fuses sport, determination and humanity with unrelenting momentum.

Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi front a bold, vivid new take on Emily Brontë’s timelessly stormy romance.

In the late 18th century, Catherine Earnshaw finds warmth growing up on the Yorkshire moors through her friend, the mysterious outcast Heathcliff, but they are soon torn apart when a well-heeled family takes her in. Heathcliff’s attachment, however, will not die easily – and as time and class keep pushing them away, it grows more dangerous than anyone can handle. Writer-director Emerald Fennell combines her bravura cinematic style (Saltburn, Promising Young Woman) and experience with famous romances (Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cinderella) for a new version of the classic novel: one as fierce, uncomfortable, and mesmerising as its own central romance. Yorkshire, astoundingly filmed by La La Land cinematographer Linus Sandgren, adds to its force and beauty more than ever.

Sam Raimi is back and out for blood!

Forty-five years after The Evil Dead hit the silver screen, Sam Raimi returns to his roots with a (relatively) low-budget, high-octane, blood-and-guts-galore dark comedy horror film - Send Help.

It stars Rachel McAdams as you’ve never seen her before, as a disgruntled corporate strategist stranded on a desert island with her appalling boss (Dylan O’Brien) following a plane crash. What starts as LOST-level intrigue soon takes a turn towards the surreal, as Raimi’s signature frenetic filmmaking style kicks in, and gearshifts the narrative in an increasingly gruesome direction.

But, it’s not just violence for violence’s sake. Not only does the film highlight how far we will go to survive in a literal sense, but how carnal and self-destructive corporate work culture has become.

If you were trapped on an island with a terrible boss who just wouldn’t give you a promotion, how long would it take before you cracked?

Claire Foy stars alongside Brendan Gleeson in Philippa Lowthorpe’s beautifully realised and emotionally charged adaptation of Helen MacDonald’s award-winning memoir.

When Cambridge academic Helen’s father dies, the grief sends her spiralling into an abyss. In an effort to process her loss, she retreats from the human world to train a fearsome Northern goshawk. Foy gives an exceptional, career-best performance as Helen, while Charlotte Bruus Christensen’s cinematography and Sarah Finlay’s production design help Lowthorpe access the gravity and emotion of this story.

We are very pleased to bring you a special advanced preview screening on Sun 11 Jan ahead of its UK release.

Paul Thomas Anderson and Leonardo DiCaprio spearhead a raw, timely, and masterfully made thriller, about an ex-radical fighting to save his family.

On the fringes of a small Californian town, Bob Ferguson struggles to stay upright for his teenaged daughter Willa, and the hole left by her mother and his failed revolutionary comrades. When she disappears as a wealthy white-supremacist army threatens their home, Bob must rebuild his team, reckon with the past, and prepare for battle, as what really matters becomes clear.

Working with a much larger-than-usual budget (reportedly $130-175 million) from bits of cult Pynchon novel Vineland, Anderson applies his usual cinematic mastery to new ground. Inventive action set-pieces punctuate a funny, tragic and very relevant story of a literal culture war, and one man (a fearless and moving DiCaprio) trying to survive it.

The second installation of Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings comes to our big screen this month (the extended edition of course)!

The Two Towers follows the continuing quest of Frodo (Elijah Wood) and the Fellowship to destroy the One Ring. Touched by that rare type of movie magic that strikes once a generation, the blockbuster-trilogy-hit is packed with extraordinary special effects, New Zealand scenery that beautifully evokes another world, and an exceptional cast.

Often labelled as the best of the trilogy, with hauntingly beautiful moments and moving scenes; the extended edition adds flesh to more of the characters, a cinematic dream for all fans of Middle Earth. An incomparable cinematic achievement, the world Peter Jackson and his team place us in, is rich with imagination and the fantastical.

Rose Byrne gives a mesmerising performance – earning her first-ever Golden Globe’s win – in Mary Bronstein’s high intensity exploration of the complexities of motherhood.

Therapist Linda feels overwhelmed with the pressures of everyday life, particularly as she struggles to navigate her child’s mysterious illness with a singular lack of support from her absent husband. On the edge of exhaustion, she tries to stay afloat with the help of her hostile therapist (Conan O'Brien) and her new neighbour (A$AP Rocky), in this unflinching and claustrophobic, yet deeply affecting and darkly funny drama.

Nominated for Best Actress in both the Baftas and Oscars this year, this is an awards-worthy performance not to be missed.

Renate Reinsve and Stellan Skarsgård star in this Cannes Grand Prix winner, which reunites Joachim Trier with Reinsve, his lead from The Worst Person in the World.

Two adult sisters navigate their emotional wounds and futures when their absentee father returns following the death of their mother. Trier tackles the journey of his characters with the gentle humour and a lived-in reality we’ve come to expect from his cinema.

Featuring sumptuous technical credits and sharp scripting, Trier once again excels in conveying the profound with the lightest of touch.

With a row of awards and a Best Picture Oscar nomination, Kleber Mendonça Filho’s fascinating historical thriller wins him a still bigger audience.

In 1977 Recife, ex-professor Armando reunites with his son and in-laws under the pall of Brazil’s military dictatorship. A new job lets him search for traces of his censored past, while finding connection with fellow dissidents – but simultaneously, hitmen are tasked with hunting him, leaving him precious little time and fewer exits. Well-established as one of Brazil’s leading filmmakers, Mendonça (Aquarius, Bacurau) spreads his wings further, seamlessly balancing 70s action and intrigue with an absorbing and beautiful study of the past’s vulnerability under totalitarianism. Wagner Moura (Pablo Escobar from Narcos) delivers a similarly masterful performance as the stoic lead, and Udo Kier stands out in the last role before his death.

A flashy, tongue-in-cheek hyper-pop mockumentary, The Moment is Charli xcx’s creative reflection on her own meteoric success with brat.

Directed and co-written by “360” music video director Aidan Zamiri in his feature debut, the film has a stylishly effortless rhythm and a uniquely self-aware, ironic sense of humour. Charli xcx plays an exaggeratedly manic version of herself, surrounded by a cast of characters that mirror both the friends and foes of the era. Hailey Gates and Alexander Skarsgård personify near-diametrically opposed influences in Charli xcx’s dynamic career; pieces in the grand scheme of brat’s enduring cultural power.

Behind the satire and Charli xcx’s celebrity is an earnest and heartfelt expression of the weight of success, the price of legacy, and the fight to preserve artistic integrity.

This film contains strobe effects.

Academy Award-winning director Chloé Zhao’s adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s bestselling novel features mesmerising performances by Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal.

Their romantic affair begins in the woods, and their journey is characterised by the connection they have to the forest. Even when William strays off to the city to pursue his dreams, they always have a reason to come back to that same place.

Beyond nature, their children tether William and Agnes together despite their diverging paths. Bringing warmth, innocence and touching family-dynamics to the Shakespeare household are the young actors Jacobi Jupe as the titular Hamnet, Olivia Lynes as his twin sister Judith, and Bodhi Rae Breathnach as their older sister Susanna.

All this works cohesively with Zhao’s direction, creating a lethal tragedy that can almost rival Shakespeare’s work.

By order of the Peaky Blinders: the self-exiled king (Cillian Murphy) shall face his most explosive reckoning yet in this epic feature, from series creator Steven Knight.

Four years after we said goodbye to the Shelby clan in the series finale of Peaky Blinders, Tommy Shelby and his crew of Birmingham mobsters are returning in a new feature film. Joining the line up of familiar faces are Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth and Barry Keoghan.

During World War II, Shelby returns to a bombed-out Birmingham and becomes involved in secret wartime missions – based on true events – facing new threats, as he reckons with his past and rising national stakes.

The Coen Brothers’ hallowed comedy returns to The Odyssey!

The serene, work-free life of “The Dude” is upended when thugs defile his beloved rug, just as an identically named millionaire’s wife goes missing. With this, he is thrown into an unbelievably bizarre criminal underworld, all while fighting to win the local bowling championship with his trigger-happy friend Walter. Chiefly beloved for its ever-shaggy protagonist - whom Jeff Bridges reportedly based on and directed himself - the film is also a prime example of its writer-directors’ distinctive style, combining poker-faced surrealism, sharp written comedy, and vivid, sinister landscapes into rich, self-contained worlds that bears repeated visits.

In the end, the tricky plot, impeccable acting, and spectacular interludes all give way to The Dude’s seductive lifestyle, where only the simple joys of bowling, alcohol, and needless arguments matter. Come and release your inner dude - bathrobe optional!

The Mediator Between the Head and the Hands Must Be the Heart.

In an urban dystopia stylised with Art Deco futurist aesthetics, Freder and Maria seek to deconstruct the vast class divides in their city.  Perhaps the most well-remembered of the Weimar period, the film was produced during a period of vast social change, hyperinflation, and the emergence of new ideologies in present-day Germany.

Directed by pioneering Austrian filmmaker Fritz Lang, Metropolis is an irreplicable science-fiction epic. Perhaps the cornerstone of German expressionism, this silent film is undoubtedly one of the most influential science fiction films ever made.

Join us at Britain’s best Art Deco cinema for a post-screening discussion about this landmark film, with a free cup of tea or coffee!

Lights out. Silence. Detention begins - Odyssey style. Five teens. One Saturday. Zero chance it goes as planned. Join us at The Odyssey for a big-screen celebration of John Hughes’ definitive ’80s high-school classic, The Breakfast Club.

Starring Anthony Michael Hall, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy, Molly Ringwald, and Judd Nelson, the film drops five wildly different students into an all-day detention in their school library. At 7:00am, they arrive as stereotypes with nothing in common and even less to say.

But as the hours crawl by, walls come down. Secrets spill. Labels crack. Unexpected bonds form in the unlikeliest places.

To the outside world, they’re the Jock, the Brain, the Criminal, the Princess, and the Kook.

By the final bell, they’re something more—something real.

They were, are, and always will be… The Breakfast Club.

In a new cinematic concert experience from visionary filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, Elvis tells his story – in his own words – like never before.

Baz Luhrmann’s bombastic technicolour and sound showcase of Elvis Presley is the second film from the Australian director, following 2022’s Elvis, to explore the man and his music. This time Luhrmann presents the results of his extensive research conducted before he made his award-winning biopic, remixing archival material with never-before-seen footage from the singer's legendary residency in Las Vegas.

Part documentary where the only storyteller is Elvis himself, using his own words, and part concert film, the larger than life spectacle of his performances, behind the scenes moments and off guard comments tempered by Elvis's easy-going, tenderly flippant charm are a joy to experience.

Tim Key and Tom Basden write and lead a small, warm-hearted comedy about a tired musician brought to life by his millionaire fan.

Herb McGwyer is a folk singer far from his ex-bandmate, partner, and glory days, and obliged to play a concert just for Charles, a double lottery winner, on a remote private island. Awkwardness mounts when said partner is invited, just as a storm traps them all there – but Charles’s adoration, their beautiful surroundings, and an old spark might inspire one of Herb’s best performances yet. Based on their award-winning short, Key, Basden, and director James Griffiths tell a stirring story of renewal, backed by a lovely soundtrack and beautiful Welsh settings. They also balance first-rate English sitcom humour with surprising emotional depth, enhanced by Carey Mulligan’s performance as the ex.

Jessie Buckley follows her dramatic triumph in Hamnet in a bold new direction: a singing, dancing Bride of Frankenstein in the gangster age.

Forced to hide from a hostile public in 1930s Chicago, artificial human “Frank” asks his creator for a companion, finding one in a recently-murdered young woman. On waking up, she decides to turn the city upside down in search of justice: for both herself, and everyone in Chicago forced to hide in the shadows. Building on her own prestige breakout hit with The Lost Daughter, Maggie Gyllenhaal takes a familiar horror icon and builds a wildly imaginative, action-stacked, and unpredictable story around her. A top-drawer cast including Jake Gyllenhaal, Penélope Cruz, and Christian Bale keep the action believable, and Buckley relishes her new star power as the vampy, gun-toting, and irreverent immortal.

In Disney and Pixar’s all-new animated comedy adventure Hoppers, animal lover and Beaverton University student Mabel (voice of Piper Curda) seizes an opportunity to use a new technology to ‘hop’ her consciousness into a life-like robotic beaver and communicate directly with animals.

As she uncovers mysteries in the animal world beyond anything she could have imagined, Mabel befriends charismatic beaver, King George (voice of Bobby Moynihan), and must rally the entire animal kingdom to face a major, imminent human-threat: smooth-talking local mayor Jerry Generazzo (voice of Jon Hamm).

Hoppin’ to the Odyssey, this Easter!

This brilliantly unconventional comedy remains one of Britain’s most beloved and controversial films.

Written and performed by the legendary Monty Python troupe – Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin – the film is packed with sharp wit, absurdity, and unforgettable characters.

Following Brian Cohen (Chapman), an ordinary man mistaken for the Messiah, the film hilariously skewers religious dogma, political fanaticism, and human gullibility. Along the way, Brian encounters a host of eccentric figures, including the pompous Pontius Pilate (Palin), the revolutionary Reg (Cleese), the lisping Biggus Dickus (Idle), and his overbearing mother (Jones), who delivers the iconic line, “He’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy!”

Its biting humour and fearless irreverence cemented it as a national icon, despite initial bans. Decades later, Life of Brian remains an endlessly quotable, riotously funny watch, proving that its satire is as sharp and relevant as ever.

Now a highly successful Broadway show soon to be revived on the West End, experience the magic of Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra’s Golden Age classic musical on the big screen!

Jazz musician C.K. Dexter Haven (Crosby) is still hung up on his ex-wife, socialite Tracy Samantha Lord (Kelly). Now, Tracy is engaged to another man (John Lund), but when reporter Mike Connor (Sinatra) shows up to cover the wedding for his magazine, he can’t help but fall in love with the beautiful bride-to-be. A classic love triangle (love square!?) unfolds, as Tracy must choose the most suitable suitor before she walks down the aisle.

Featuring unforgettable show tunes such as “True Love” and “You’re Sensational”, the film is a gorgeous celebration of jazz and love, featuring three titans of cinema history at the top of their game. The film also notably marks Grace Kelly’s final professional appearance before she married Prince Rainier III of Monaco.

A quietly powerful reflection on faith, love, and the endurance of long partnership, Midwinter Break follows a retired couple as they embark on a transformative trip to Amsterdam.

Directed with remarkable control by theatre stalwart Polly Findlay in her film debut, and adapted by Bernard MacLaverty and Nick Payne from MacLaverty’s own acclaimed novel.

The film unites Lesley Manville and Ciarán Hinds in a deeply affecting portrayal of connection and distance. MacLaverty calls it “a story of two young people who got old and they have fallen out of step.”

What begins as a simple weekend away becomes a profound study of love’s durability, compromise, and the ache of time passing.

He’s on a mission to save the Earth with no idea how he got there.

Astronaut Dr. Ryland Grace finds himself aboard the Hail Mary, a spacecraft dispatched on a last-chance mission to save Earth from interstellar catastrophe. Based on the bestselling novel by Andy Weir, the film shares a similar edutainment-meets-space-adventure tone to his previous work, The Martian. But here, the stakes are far higher - Grace isn’t just on a mission to save himself, but all of humanity as well. And deep in the cosmos, he discovers some unexpected company…

From visionaries Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse), the film is built to be seen on the big screen, with Ryan Gosling continuing to prove himself as the perfect leading man. A testament to scientific knowledge and human endurance, it’s an inspirational, heartfelt story in a truly thrilling sci-fi package.

A stylish new Hollywood-set thriller from director Bart Layton (American Animals, The Imposter), who adapts Don Winslow’s acclaimed novella.

Set against the sun-bleached grit of Los Angeles, Crime 101 weaves the tale of an elusive jewel thief (Chris Hemsworth) whose string of heists along the 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime, his path crosses that of a disillusioned insurance broker (Halle Berry) who is facing her own crossroads. Convinced he has found a pattern, a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) is closing in, raising the stakes even higher. As the heist approaches, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, and all three are faced with life-defining choices – and the realisation that there can be no turning back.

With gorgeous photography and sound, this is an ode to Hollywood’s greatest heist movies of the glory days and the legend of Steve McQueen's Bullitt and The Thomas Crown Affair.

This Sundance award-winning film is a charming and uplifting coming-of-age tale about a young boy who finds escape in dance music.

Ahmet is a 15-year-old boy from a remote Yörük village in North Macedonia, where he struggles to navigate the pressure of traditional values and his father’s expectations since his mother’s passing. Although his passion for music brings him closer to his love interest, they have already been promised to someone else.

Featuring a talented young cast, Georgi M Unkovski’s debut delivers a heartwarming and frequently hilarious portrait of youth and artistic liberation.

“Combining charming performances, arresting imagery and, naturally, a great soundtrack, this heartfelt debut is an against-the odds triumph” Radio Times

Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried bring a smash-hit thriller novel to life, about a young domestic servant whose employers hold a horrible secret.

Stymied by her criminal record and reduced to living out of her car, Millie (Sweeney) jumps at the chance to work for a wealthy young family on Long Island. Living on site at their big, isolated home, she quickly bonds with her employers and the gardener despite odd behaviour from the mother, Nina (Seyfried) – but as she discovers more about the household’s difficult past, she becomes tied to it in ways that could be fatal. Working from an eBook that became a viral phenomenon, director Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, A Simple Favour) preserves its simple, irresistible narrative drive on film, while Sweeney and Seyfried give it human substance as the sharp, troubled protagonist and smooth, even-more-troubled trophy wife.

Glenn Powell continues to charm as an exterminator of the rich, in a sharp modern-day update of Kind Hearts and Coronets.

Struggling suit salesman Becket Redfellow lives in the shadow of a family worth $28 billion, which cut off his mother for having him as a teenager. To avenge her and impress his wealthy childhood friend, he decides to murder seven relatives in line for the money – something not easily done without drawing attention.

Building on his small-scale thriller Emily the Criminal, writer-director John Patton Ford channels the satiric bite, farcical plotting, and deadpan charm of the 1940s British classic, seamlessly grafted onto modern-day America. Powell’s charisma and talent hold the outlandish story together, with a strong supporting cast (disappointingly, none of them play all eight relatives like in the original – not even Topher Grace).

High school seniors Sonny and Duane live in Anarene, a dead-end Texas town. Eyeing uncertain futures, they must each find a way to escape Anarene and build a new life elsewhere.

Peter Bogdanovich was one of the most influential filmmakers of the New Hollywood movement. Starting his career as a film programmer and critic, he soon gained significant influence in the 1960s New York film scene, and decided to become a director. Following the success of his debut Targets, Bogdanovich co-wrote and directed The Last Picture Show, a genre-defining coming of age drama.

Acclaimed for its performances and tackling of nostalgia and small-town stagnation, the film was nominated for eight Academy Awards, winning Best Supporting Actor (Ben Johnson) and Best Supporting Actress (Ellen Burstyn).

Join us for a post-film discussion about this lesser-known American classic, and meet fellow local film fans at The Odyssey Film Club!

Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) and Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths) feature in a five-star, triumphantly acclaimed new production of Arthur Miller’s classic play, from visionary director Ivo Van Hove (A View from the Bridge).

One family, the heart of the American dream. When wartime delivers profits for Joe, it comes at a price when his partner is charged with criminal manufacturing deals, and his eldest son

goes missing in action. Will peacetime bring peace of mind, or will he be confronted by the consequence of his actions?

Filmed live from the West End, Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Tom Glynn-Carney (House of the Dragon), and Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake) also feature in this disturbingly

prescient play.

Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, this French-Spanish coproduction is set across techno raves in the Moroccan desert.

Luis, his son Esteban, and a group of ravers search the deserts of southern Morocco for his missing daughter Mar. Last seen at a dance festival, she’s been missing for five months. As reality bends around them, their search soon becomes a tightrope between heaven and hell.

Developed over fifteen years by co-writer/director Óliver Laxe, the film was nominated for two Academy Awards - Best Sound and Best International Feature. Undoubtedly one of the most unique films of 2025, it’s got to be seen to be believed.

A classic farce with very modern relationship dynamics, Splitsville spreads the comedic wealth across its well-balanced ensemble.

After The Climb (2020), a both funny and cruel portrait of male friendship, Michael Angelo Covino presents a new take on human relationships, this time confronting viewers with the fragility of modern romantic relationships.

Splitsville picks up with Ashley (Adria Arjona) asking for a divorce, watching as the good-natured Carey (Kyle Marvin) runs to his friends, Julie (Dakota Johnson) and Paul (Covino), for support. He’s shocked to discover that the secret to their happiness is an open marriage; that is, until Carey crosses the line and throws all of their relationships into chaos.

Splitsville feels both ruthlessly timely and wonderfully old-fashioned – it has the buoyancy of 1930s screwball and the sting of post-Instagram intimacy.

Mount Doom looms over Sauron’s legions in Mordor. The epic conclusion to Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy is here.

In bringing J.R.R. Tolkien's nearly unfilmable work to the screen, Jackson benefited from extraordinary special effects, otherworldly Kiwi settings, and an exceptionally well-chosen cast. Perhaps the greatest achievement of all was his screenplay adaptation. Alongside co-writers Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, preserving Tolkien's vision and often his very words,  whilst making logical changes to accommodate the medium of film.

Winning big at the Oscars (including Best Picture!) and the box office, Return of the King is beloved across the board, and for good reason: it’s utterly epic! Whilst the film doesn’t (and couldn’t have) replicated Tolkien’s vision word-for-word, the sheer scale that Jackson achieves on screen throughout this final entry in the trilogy makes it a landmark cinematic achievement.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson headlines a gripping, intricate British thriller with surprising depths of character.

One busy morning in the centre of London, construction workers find a large unexploded bomb from WWII, threatening hundreds and triggering panic. As police race to evacuate the area and a crack defusal team sets to work on the bomb, a mysterious third group sneaks into the area with its sights on a bank vault below – plunging the others into an impossible dilemma.

Though small in scale, seasoned thriller director David Mackenzie (Hell or High Water, Relay) and writer Ben Hopkins (Inside) lift the film above standard action fare, balancing a riveting, carefully composed set-up with a layered and equally unpredictable wider mystery, all compressed into 96 minutes. A strong supporting cast including Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Theo James keep every step believable.

Robert Macfarlane’s seminal ode to subterranean landscapes gets adapted into an equally vivid and revelatory documentary.

Seeking to reveal the diverse worlds beneath the ground, the film concentrates on three people charting them around the globe: “urban explorer” Bradley Garrett in the inhabited rain tunnels of Las Vegas, while archaeologist Fátima Tec Pool traces her roots in the Mayan caves of Yucatán.

From an underground Canadian laboratory, physicist Mariangela Lisanti unravels the dark matter that underpins the visible universe; all demonstrate how great depths of the universe remain undiscovered, even with a wider focus than the book. With Macfarlane’s collaboration and Darren Aronofsky producing, director Rob Petit creates an extraordinary array of imagery (both shot and animated) to bring these depths to life, while Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall, Toni Erdmann) narrates the text’s sonorous words alongside it.

Amanda Seyfried and The Brutalist’s creators resurrect an unlikely figure for a tour-de-force musical biopic: the messianic, Manchester-born founder of the Shaker church.

In 18th century Lancashire, young Ann finds relief from growing industry and her children’s early deaths in a shouting, dancing Christian Quaker movement. Possessed by visions of how to guide humanity, she rises to lead the group and seek a home in the New World – but keeping her family together proves even more difficult there.

Co-writing with her partner Brady Corbet, director Mona Fastvold (The World to Come) creates an astonishing yet feasible world of violence, energy, and religious mystery around its obscure subject, helped by Daniel Blumberg’s similarly mercurial soundtrack. She, however, always dominates thanks to Seyfried’s lead performance, which shows unprecedented charisma, tenderness, and vulnerability alongside her proven musical talent.

Award-winning actor Brian Cox makes his feature directorial debut with this touching story of estranged family and the power of forgiveness.

After thirty five years living abroad in the United States, Donal (Alan Cumming) returns home to the Scottish Highlands to reunite with his brother Sandy (Brian Cox). A story brimming with understanding and healing, set against the backdrop of the brothers’two hundred year-old family whiskey business.

Filmed across Scotland - in locations such as in Glasgow and the village of Gartmore - the film is described “love letter to Scotland”

31 years after an atomic bomb is dropped on Tokyo, a bike gang emerges in the newly built city to battle the corrupt government and its experiments.

This classic Japanese post-apocalyptic anime redefined the cyberpunk genre and aesthetics. A landmark piece of 80s pop culture, it paved the way for Japanese animation’s rapid impact across global entertainment. Comparable to the influence of Blade Runner on the science-fiction genre, Akira has inspired generations of artists, animators and filmmakers to continue its hyper-stylised, politically nuanced vision.

Don’t miss this gorgeously animated film on the big screen, featuring several of the most iconic scenes and shots in world cinema. It’s ranked by The Daily Telegraph as the fifth greatest action film ever made, and included amongst Letterboxd’s top 250 films of all time.

James McAvoy makes his directorial debut with this outrageously funny biographical film filled with ambition and identity-theft, set against the high-pressure world of hip hop.

Silibil N’ Brains are a rap pairing from Dundee, who masquerade as an American duo in order to be taken seriously by the music industry. But as their plan explodes into buzzy success, record deals and media attention, how long can they keep up the deception before cracks start to show?

The film is based off an audacious true story, adapted from the memoir California Schemin’: How Two Lads from Scotland Conned the Music Industry.

François Ozon’s sterling adaptation of Albert Camus’ landmark novel is a gripping account of human absurdity in 1930s French-colonised Algeria.

It is a hot summer day when Meursault learns about his mother’s passing. What follows is a series of events leading to a tragedy that questions the intentions and moral standing of the protagonist. Shot with a muted palette and featuring understated performances, Ozon superbly captures Meursault’s stillness, passivity and lack of compassion, making us witnesses to his sociopathy.

More than 80 years after it was published, The Stranger transfers to film for a third time in mostly compelling fashion, and the small adjustments to Camus’ plot afford a little modernity without a more obvious update.

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of their births, this unmissable new documentary explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives and legacies alongside the groundbreaking Tate exhibition.

Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them. Now, these two greats are reuniting. Tate Britain is bringing these two greats together for a groundbreaking exhibition, in London from November 2025 to April 2026, and Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen in March so that you can enjoy both film and exhibition together. Discover unexpected sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks and personal items and insights from leading experts.

Turner’s blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels and Constable’s idealised depictions of beloved places from home whipped the public of the time into a frenzy of enthusiasm. Constable represents the very best of the old school of realism and pastoral nostalgia; Turner, an exciting new way of depicting emotion and dreamlike impressions. Critics compared their starkly different styles to a clash of ‘fire and water’. Don’t miss this opportunity to see these greats side-by-side, as they so often were in life, on the big screen for the first time.

Funny Girl arrives on the big screen as part of a growing celebration of stage musicals captured for cinema audiences.

Frida Kahlo is a phenomenon.

She is arguably the world’s favourite female artist – beloved by young and old.

Exhibition on Screen’s award-winning film – first released during Covid to a restricted audience – is back by popular demand with an exciting new addition from the blockbuster transatlantic exhibition from Tate Britain and The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston ‘Frida Kahlo: the Making of an Icon’. Returning to cinemas in May 2026, one month before the Tate exhibition opens, it allows audiences to watch the film and see the show

Don’t worry, it’s not the Nicholas Cage version!

May Day approaches on Summerisle, and its citizens are perturbed by the arrival of Sergeant Neil Howie, a devout Christian who doesn’t take kindly to their paganist traditions. As he searches for a missing child, he uncovers a dark history clouding the seemingly peaceful island.

Christopher Lee delivers an unforgettably sinister performance as Lord Summerisle in this folk horror classic. Considering it to be one of his greatest roles, he was so dedicated to the film that he paid for his own press tour, and hit every stop in the USA willing to interview him about the film.
