Ian McKellan gives a delicious performance as a catty gay theatre critic in 1930s London.

Based on Anthony Quinn’s novel Curtain Call, Jimmy Erskine (McKellen) is the most feared theatre critic of the age. He lives as flamboyantly as he writes and takes pleasure in savagely taking down any actor who fails to meet his standards. His newspaper’s new owner, David Brooke (Mark Strong), stands for patriotism and family values. It’s not long before Brooke fires Erskine for his outrageous behaviour and opinions, in particular a fierce review of actress Nina Land (Gemma Arterton). Erskine picks up on this cue and exploits the opportunity to get his job back. He writes a glowing review for Nina, promises her a glittering career, but in return she must do him a favour which has devastating consequences.

Kate Winslet brings typical depth and gravitas to the life of war photographer Lee Miller, a passion project for her, realised after almost a decade in the making.

After glamorous careers in New York as a model and Paris as a photographer, Lee is suddenly confronted with the ravages of WWII in Blitz-torn London, and abandons her refined life to show them to America. In this, she finds new strength and connections even as she faces greater danger and horrors – but these will continue to haunt her long after the war. Directed by feted cinematographer and documentarian Ellen Kuras, the film vividly evokes the contrasting chapters of Miller’s amazing life, and more crucially tracks the incredible emotional journey of the fearless, talented, and clear-eyed woman who crossed them, inhabited by Winslet in another gripping turn.

Wednesday 23 Oct 202412:30 Book Now

The heated 1976 trial of French left-wing intellectual and activist Pierre Goldman, accused of murdering two pharmacists in a bungled robbery, is reconstructed in Cédric Kahn’s riveting courtroom drama.

Kahn’s portrait of a trial that gripped France is a stripped back masterpiece. Unfurling within the claustrophobic environs of a tense, heavy courtroom, in style it draws heavily on the cinematographic style of certain 1970s documentaries, an aesthetic that transports us to the very heart of the drama.

Arieh Worthalter’s award-winning turn as the volatile Goldman is explosive – his indignation at the injustice he feels he has been subject to manifests itself as a stream of barely contained rage, as he seeks to clear his name. If you enjoyed Anatomy of a Fall – this one’s for you.

Following success at Cannes including a Best Screenplay win, Coralie Fargeat’s spectacularly grotesque horror satire on female body standards arrives in the UK, with Demi Moore in her most incredible role yet.

At 50, former Hollywood icon Elisabeth Sparkle has been reduced to fitness TV, and constant critiques of her looks by executives, the media, and herself, and jumps at a mysterious drug that resurrects her perfect younger form. However, this only alienates her from herself further – and not sticking to its program has unmentionably awful side effects. Drawing on the nightmarish visual traditions of Lynch and Cronenberg, writer-director Fargeat (Revenge) combats the grotesque ways older women are evaluated with brilliant, obscene cinematic invention. Throughout, Moore shines in a moving and astonishingly fearless display, showing levels of physical and emotional vulnerability few younger actors manage.

Saoirse Ronan seamlessly inhabits an atmospheric, rough-edged recovery narrative set in the magnificent landscapes of Orkney.

Months after disrupting her biology studies with near-lethal amounts of alcohol and clubbing, Rona retreats from Hackney’s nightlife to her broken family’s home in the far-north Scottish islands, hoping to restart on firmer ground. Its stark beauty and isolation, along with RSPB volunteering and new connections, offer this – but the strong pull of addiction and trauma will not make it easy.

Adapting a memoir with its author Amy Liptrot, director Nora Fingscheidt (System Crasher) brings out all the pain, confusion, and unsoftened feeling of a deeply personal

story and makes it sing cinematically, lifted by an otherworldly yet believably lived-in setting. Ronan shines in a rare present-day role, dropping polish and melodrama in an awkward, vulnerable struggle to self-improvement.

After decades of false starts, Francis Ford Coppola’s fearless, byzantine, and breathtaking passion-project finally strides into cinemas.

In the decadent city of New Rome, a visionary architect with mysterious powers and a tragic past sets out to build a newer, better world on top of it. Its mayor wants to stick to a more profitable and practical one, and a titanic clash of wills ensues that threatens to swallow their dreams, loved ones, and world. Conceived in the late 1970s, rooted in histories of Ancient

Rome, and revived in the belief that it was more relevant than ever, writer-director Coppola tells a spectacular, unpredictable story of creative will hurtling against every obstacle, and the epic fall of the old order. Mad, fearless, and constantly entertaining, it must be seen – in cinemas – to be believed.

Friday 25 Oct 202412:30 Book Now

When 93-year-old Thelma Post gets duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson, she sets out on a treacherous quest across the city to reclaim what was taken from her.

Inspired by a real-life experience of writer-director Josh Margolin’s own centenarian grandmother, Thelma puts a clever spin on movies like Mission: Impossible, shining the spotlight on an elderly grandmother as an unlikely action hero. With affectionate humour, Margolin employs the familiar tropes of the action genre in hilarious, age-appropriate ways to tackle themes of ageing, mortality, and human frailty. In the first leading film role of her over 70-year career, Oscar-nominated veteran character actor June Squibb portrays the strong-willed Thelma with grit and determination, demonstrating that she is more than capable of taking care of business — despite what her daughter Gail (Parker Posey), son-in-law Alan (Clark Gregg), or loving grandson Danny (Fred Hechinger) might believe.

Do you dare say his name three times? The film brings back cinema's most iconic bio-exorcist (granted, there aren't many) to stir up more hilariously chaotic mischief, reviving the iconic ghost with a twist, bringing fresh chaos and humour to the afterlife.

Prepare yourself for a Bad Romance as Joaquin Phoenix reprises his Oscar-winning role as the titular deranged villain the Joker opposite Lady Gaga as the queen of chaos Harley Quinn.

The inevitable sequel picks up with Arthur in jail, heavily medicated and jovially bullied by the chief prison guard, played with whistling nonchalance by Brendan Gleeson. A patient in a neighbouring psychiatric ward, Harleen Quinzel (Lady Gaga), is obsessed with Joker. But Arthur’s lawyer (Catherine Keener) argues that Joker is a part of his split personality, basing his defence on this.

The first film channelled Martin Scorsese and the cinema of the ’70s. Here, Todd Phillips is inspired more by Band Wagon, with numbers performed by Gaga and Phoenix to express their unhinged flights of fancy. It’s like Dennis Potter’s Pennies from Heaven but written by Alan Moore.

Clint Eastwood’s icon-making turn as the laconic, tweed-wearing, and ruthlessly committed police officer arrives at the Odyssey.

San Francisco’s authorities are left helpless when a mysterious, unpredictable serial killer charges them hundreds of thousands of dollars to make him stop – unless misanthropic Inspector Harry Callahan can find him first. Before long, the killer’s machinations and the city’s bureaucracy dovetail to make the case unsolvable, forcing Harry to step even further

out of line to keep up. Directed by B-movie master Don Siegel (Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Escape from Alcatraz) and inspired by the then-current Zodiac killings, the film still thrills for its taut, practical action and tightly controlled plot. Eastwood’s performance gave him stardom beyond Westerns and inspired four sequels, which are less curious about just how heroic this bigoted, frequently violent character is.

Sebastian Stan delivers his best performance yet in Aaron Schimberg’s surreal, layered tragicomedy, about an actor freed from a “deformed” face but trapped by his own character.

While reliving his former self, he struggles to connect and succeed as much as ever – especially when a charismatic man with his old condition appears and does just that. Written and directed by Schimberg (Chained for Life), the film creates a riveting Kafkaesque fantasy of fractured identity, shot through with fearless humour, brilliant plotting, and insight into how appearances and difference affect it. Stan stands out as the anxious lead, as does TV personality Adam Pearson as his rival.
