5 - 11 September
- Eddington
Oscar-winners Joaquin Phoenix (Joker) and Emma Stone (Poor Things) star alongside Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us) in Hereditary and Midsommar director Ari Aster's "sniper-accurate vision of America".
In May 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic spirals across the world, a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and mayor (Pedro Pascal) sparks a powder keg in (fictional) Eddington, New Mexico.
A neo-Western with darkly comic elements, Eddington follows the political and social fallout of an unprecedented time in contemporary America.
"Brilliant" ★★★★★ The Independent
- Sorry, Baby
Co-produced by Barry Jenkins (director of the Oscar-winning Moonlight), A24's Sorry, Baby is the quietly remarkable debut of actor and writer-director Eva Victor - who initially rose to fame for her satirical social media skits - and announces her as a formidable new filmmaking talent.
Something bad happened to Agnes (Victor). Though a brilliant English professor at a New England college, she suffers from crippling anxiety and her life has only inched forward while that of her best friend Lydie (Naomie Ackie) has bloomed. Following their reunion, the film revisits both the sexual assault that originally derailed Agnes and her staggered, imperfect recovery.
A wildly impressive debut investigating how trauma is processed privately and publicly, and a tremendous calling card for Victor, Sorry, Baby is a deft #MeToo story of uncommon complexity, curiosity and humour.
- The Rocky Horror Picture Show (50th Anniversary)
Celebrate The Rocky Horror Picture Show - back on cinema screens for its 50th anniversary!
Probably the best-known 'midnight movie', Jim Sharman's 1975 musical sci-fi comedy The Rocky Horror Picture Show's anarchic, camp energy and eminently singable songs have ensured its enduring cult status.
During a storm, sweethearts Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Sarandon) happen upon the eerie mansion of scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry). Meeting a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker (Meatloaf) and a creepy butler (Richard O'Brien), Brad and Janet's innocence is thoroughly compromised as, through elaborate dance sequences and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named "Rocky."
- The Ballad of Wallis Island
Carey Mulligan stars alongside comedian collaborators Tim Key and Tom Basden in this whimsical, big-hearted comedy.
He's getting the band back together! Oddball lottery winner Charles (Key) lives alone on a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he dreams of bringing his favorite musicians, McGwyer Mortimer (Mulligan and Basden) together again. His fantasy becomes reality when the bandmates and former lovers accept his invitation to play a private show on the island, but they're trapped there when a storm sets in. Old tensions resurface as Charles desperately - and hilariously - tries to salvage his dream gig. Funny, soulful and disarming, The Ballad of Wallis Island is soundtracked with folk music written by Basden and beautifully performed by him and Mulligan.
"A big-hearted, consoling hug of a movie" ★★★★ Empire

Part dog, part man... all hero.
From DreamWorks Animation - creators of beloved blockbuster franchises Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon - Dog Man is the canine-crime-fighting film adaptation of Dav Pilkey's New York Times bestselling literary phenomenon and a spin-off of Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie.
When a police officer and his faithful police dog get injured in the line of duty, a harebrained but life-saving surgery fuses the two of them together, and Dog Man is born. As Dog Man learns to embrace his new identity, he must stop feline supervillain Petey the Cat from cloning himself and going on a crime spree.
- Late Shift
A nurse's work is never done in Petra Volpe's pacy, tightly wound medical drama.
A devoted surgical nurse, Floria (Leonie Benesch) works through a demanding night shift in her ward. Despite the pressure, she meticulously tends to a critically ill mother, an elderly patient awaiting a diagnosis, and a high-maintenance private patient - but a grievous error brings her to the brink of collapse.
Volpe captures all the chaos and pressure of an understaffed hospital in a tribute to nurses that's elevated by the understated performance of Leonie Benesch.
12 - 18 September
- The Roses
Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman headline an all-star cast in Meet the Parents director Jay Roach's The War of the Roses update.

But a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentments soon emerge when Theo's career nosedives - and Ivy's own ambitions take off. With Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon, Allison Janney, Jamie Demetriou and Ncuti Gatwa (Dr Who).
- Caught Stealing
Austin Butler (Elvis), Zoë Kravitz (Blink Twice) and Matt Smith (Dr Who, The Crown) lead an all-star cast in Darren Aronofsky's (Black Swan, The Whale) fast-paced, entertaining action crime thriller set in 1990s New York.
When bartender and former high school baseball star Hank (Butler) is tasked with watching his punk-rock neighbour's (Smith) cat for a few days, he finds himself in the sights of a motley crew of threatening gangsters. They all want a piece of him, but he doesn't know why - and he'll have to use all his hustle to stay alive long enough to find out.
Adapted by writer Charlie Huston from his own acclaimed debut novel, Caught Stealing also features Regina King, Liev Schreiber and Benito Martínez Ocasio (better known as rapper and singer Bad Bunny).
- This Is Spinal Tap
"Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It's just not reported."
Alongside the release of the sequel, revisit Rob Reiner's hilariously inventive film, the ultimate mockumentary and an all-time comedy classic. Parodying hagiographic rock documentaries, This is Spinal Tap stars Reiner as Marti, a director filming fictional British rock group Spinal Tap - David (McKean), Nigel (Guest) and Derek (Harry) - over their 1982 tour as they fight for a contested album cover, recount the esoteric deaths of their past drummers and struggle to get back on the charts.
Deftly, wickedly satirising the pretensions of the documentary format and the vapid excesses of rock star life, it's one of the funniest films ever made.
- Honey Don't!
Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans star in the second film in Ethan Coen (with his brother Joel, co-director of Fargo, No Country For Old Men and more) and Tricia Cooke's "lesbian detective B-movie trilogy" after Drive-Away Dolls (2024) - a neo-noir detective story with moments of laugh-out-loud screwball comedy.
In Bakersfield, California, small-town private detective Honey O'Donahue (Qualley, who gives a terrific turn as the quippy anti-heroine) delves into a series of strange deaths tied to a mysterious church led by charismatic Reverend Drew Devlin (Evans). Gory, sexy, witty and dark, Honey Don't is an engaging good time.
