Faraway Downs was always going to be a strange beast, but in teasing out the most compelling threads from the tangle that was Australia, Luhrmann has managed to turn a forgettable film into a flawed but dazzling piece of television.

Trailer

BlackBerry

An origin story about a now-defunct device doesn’t sound like a hoot a minute. But Johnson makes it bouncy and funny, balancing character-oriented comedy with, in its own modest way, authoritative drama that before you know it creeps into serious messaging, as if arriving there organically.

Trailer

Plan 75

With Soderbergh-like steeliness, this quietly captivating thought-provoker renders an uncomfortable idea into believable banality. Its grimly fascinating details are second to the film’s sobering sense of humanity, the kind we risk losing when the economy takes top priority.

Palm Trees and Power Lines

Quietly riveting and deeply upsetting, Jamie Dack’s directorial debut goes to far darker places than most would dare, with an unsparing, chillingly realistic approach. Neither sexually explicit nor graphically violent, the film depicts a banal and somehow more brutal horror.

Trailer

Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret

Judy Blume’s story of girlhood and growing up is a classic for a reason, and this heartwarming adaptation a crowdpleaser. Abby Ryder Fortson as the titular Margaret is wonderful, bringing all the agony and joy of tweendom to life with earnestness and authenticity.

Trailer

Godland

Good grief, it seems that once in a blue moon they do make them like they used to. With a touch of the Kelly Reichardt school of slow burning, gentle dread mixed with eye-popping landscape capturing, this is one we’ll be raving about annoyingly for years.

Trailer

Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis)

Heartfelt and often hilarious tribute to Hipgnosis, the British creatives behind some of the 1970s most iconic record covers. This rock-star-studded trip is perfect for fans, and anyone fascinated by the collision of art and commerce that occurs when a round record is popped into a square sleeve.

Trailer

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters - Season 1

Kurt and Wyatt Russell serve up dynamite performances as the same character decades apart in this epic Godzilla spinoff series. Looking and feeling expensive, the scope and scale are awe-inspiring - with CGI far more impressive than your average Marvel movie.

Trailer

The Curse

It’s a show dripping with talent (Nathan Fielder, Emma Stone, Benny Safdie), and is consequently rich in detail and texture. Awkward, complicated, and much, much weirder than you might imagine, it’s the sort of show you’ll want to discuss with friends as soon as it’s finished.
