Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys spearhead a tight, clever, and unsettling thriller as parents forced into an ominous night-time drive.
At 2am, executive Frank and paramedic Maddie suddenly get a call from their daughter, who has caused a hit- and-run accident in the woods. Worried, they begin driving towards the accident while trying to help and comfort her by phone – but deeper threats, both in their family and at the accident, threaten to engulf them. Working from a debut script by NFTS graduate William Gillies, Under the Shadow director Babak Anvari creates another small, but original horror: a gripping, unpredictable world of menace emerges from what is largely an 80-minute, three-way conversation in a car. Pike and Rhys are reliably outstanding as the leads, giving it considerable dramatic depth and pathos beyond the genre’s typical offerings.

Her close-knit friends – Shazzer (Sally Phillips), Jude (Shirley Henderson), and Tom (James Callis) – provide their usual mix of support and humour. The unexpected return of her former lover, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant), adds further complexity to her journey. With its signature blend of romance, comedy, and heart, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is set to charm audiences.
Danny Boyle and Alex Garland revisit their iconic British zombie apocalypse, kept as raw, relentless, and unpredictable as ever.
Decades after a virus reduced Britain to an unliveable, closed-off wasteland, a small band of survivors persevere on a small coastal island. A father and son venture inland in the hopes of finding others – but the new world order holds more infected, and human, horror than they are prepared for. Reviving the series after years of rights issues, director Boyle, writer Garland, and cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle keep its brilliantly grounded horror and
action intact, on a chillingly larger scale than ever. With an outstanding new cast led by Jodie Comer and soundtrack by Hildur Guðnadóttir and Young Fathers, it shows yards more promise than most revived franchises: indeed, two sequels are already in the works.
For its 50th anniversary, the Odyssey hosts Kubrick’s masterful reimagining of the 18th century, and a self-serving Irishman’s struggle to thrive in it.
As Britain and Ireland are convulsed by the Seven Years War, Redmond Barry’s life collapses through duels and deceit, and he winds up fighting in it on the enemy side. Luck and further deception in Europe wins him an aristocratic marriage – but climbing English high society is more than his pride and temper can handle. After A Clockwork Orange and a failed Napoleon biopic, Kubrick transformed Thackeray’s rambling novel into a world of unprecedented detail and beauty, reviving the light, compositions, and cruelty of the setting to a flawlessly immersive degree. His impeccably atmospheric and incisive vision also boasts a once-in-a-lifetime cast: from Love Story’s Ryan O’Neal to Reggie Perrin’s Leonard Rossiter.

A fun, feisty, anti-romantic comedy from Madrid, that Hollywood could learn from.
After 15 years together, Ale and Álex have come up with the crazy idea of throwing a party to celebrate their break-up – like a wedding but the other way around. While their friends and family are sceptical, they seem to be sure of their decision. Or are they really?
It’s the celebration aspect that will prove their undoing. If the good breakup is rare, the joyous breakup is completely mythical.
It premiered in the Directors' Fortnight section at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Europa Cinemas Label for Best European Film.
A funny little valentine, shot through by a bright, sharp arrow of feeling.
In Spanish with English subtitles.
On the isle of Berk, Vikings and dragons are bitter enemies. Defying this centuries-old tradition, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III befriends Toothless, a dreaded (and adorable!) Night Fury dragon.
As Hiccup discovers that his society’s preconceptions about dragons may have been misguided, he must seek to disrupt this never-ending conflict and help to bring peace to Berk once and for all.
Having written and directed DreamWorks’ animated How To Train Your Dragon trilogy, Dean DeBlois reinvents Hiccup’s story in this live-action adaptation. Having only elected to direct the film after securing full creative control from the studio, the film is set to be just as charming and heartfelt as its animated predecessors. Committed to making an emotionally-charged adaptation, puppets were used on set to drive authentic performances from the cast. Newcomers Mason Thames and Nico Parker star alongside franchise regular Gerard Butler and a scene-stealing Nick Frost.

A decorated celebration of Latvian culture and a testament to survival even in the worst circumstances, Flow finally arrives at The Odyssey!
Having won Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards, Flow is the first Latvian film to win an Oscar (now displayed at the Latvian National Museum of Art). Yet, its resonance is universal. Featuring no dialogue, the film follows a cat trying to survive a post-apocalyptic world devastated by flooding. A testament to the importance and potential of independent filmmaking, its production lasted five-and-a-half years, and was animated entirely using the free, open-source software Blender.
Filmmaker Gints Zilbalodis directed, wrote, produced and edited the film on a budget of €3.5 million, whilst the average Hollywood animated film can cost anywhere between $50-$250million. The film is important not only as a cultural artefact; it’s a truly powerful reflection on our environmental impact and its consequences for future generations.

Miloš Forman’s masterly drama of the passions, conspiracies, and messes behind classical music gets a new restoration for its 40th anniversary.
In late 18th century Vienna, Antonio Salieri devotes his life and soul to becoming a great composer – only to see an obnoxious young man called Mozart outperform him. Devastated, he plots to destroy his career and spite God for denying him greatness, leading to ruin for everyone. Already a major director for his Czech comedies and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Forman turned Peter Shaffer’s play into a grand epic of artistic rivalry that still feels modern and funny (Tom Hulce was cast from Animal House, and based his performance on John McEnroe). Besides sound-and-visual improvements, this release brings back the long-unavailable 1985 cut that originally won Best Picture, making it essential viewing.
Oscar-nominated Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl, Saltburn) is Jessica in the much-anticipated next play from the team behind Prima Facie.
