Demi Moore delivers the performance of her career in Coralie Fargeat’s audacious body horror, THE SUBSTANCE.

“Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself? You, only better in every way. You should try this new product called THE SUBSTANCE. It changed my life. With The Substance, you can generate another you: younger, more beautiful, more perfect. You just have to share time – one week for one, one week for the other. A perfect balance of seven days each… Easy right? If you respect the balance… What could possibly go wrong?”

Demi Moore delivers the comeback performance of the year in Coralie Fargeat’s skin-crawling body-horror THE SUBSTANCE. A fading celebrity (Moore) decides to use a black-market drug: a cell-replicating substance that temporarily creates a younger, better version of herself (Margaret Qualley).

Nominated for multiple major awards, Oscar winner Kate Winslet stars in this fascinating portrait of the great American war correspondent Lee Miller, whose singular talent and ferocious tenacity gave us some of the 20th century’s most indelible images.

A former model, Lee is now tired of being viewed through a lens and by men, and focusses on her own work as a photographer. As the threat of war looms, everything about their daily lives changes completely, almost overnight. Frustrated by the restrictions placed on female photographers at the time, who are limited to documenting life on the home front, Miller urges her female boss at British Vogue, to request permission for Lee to go to the frontline. With a profound understanding and empathy for women and for the voiceless victims of atrocious crimes, her images feature both the fragility and ferocity of the human ability to survive, exist, fight, defend and live.

Directed by award winning cinematographer Ellen Kuras, and featuring superb supporting performances from Marion Cotillard, Andrea Riseborough, Andy Samberg and Alex Skarsgard, the film is a vivid reminder of the bold women who fought to penetrate male-dominated spaces — making great sacrifices and ultimately changing the way we see the world.

Better Man is based on the true story of the meteoric rise, dramatic fall, and remarkable resurgence of British pop superstar Robbie Williams, one of the greatest entertainers of all time.

Under the visionary direction of Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman), the film is uniquely told from Williams’ perspective, capturing his signature wit and indomitable spirit. It follows Robbie’s journey from childhood, to being the youngest member of chart-topping boyband Take That, through to his unparalleled achievements as a record-breaking solo artist – all the while confronting the challenges that stratospheric fame and success can bring.

With stunningly nuanced performances from Oscar nominees Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield, this cleverly structured romance, directed by John Crowley and penned by screenwriter Nick Payne, delves into the profound question of how to make the most of the time we have in this world.

From their very first encounter, Almut (Pugh) and Tobias (Garfield) have experienced anything but an ordinary relationship. When Almut faces a life-altering medical diagnosis, with treatment options that may or may not be effective. Should she risk spending precious time on treatments, or embrace what remains of her life to the fullest? WE LIVE IN TIME unfolds across three distinct timelines, offering a layered experience of their relationship that deepens our understanding of how memories intersect with the present and how life’s meaning builds through shared moments. Bringing this intricately crafted story to life, Pugh captivates as a young woman striving to balance her personal connections with her ambitious career, while Garfield delivers a career-defining performance, using Tobias’ quiet demeanour to reveal an underlying depth of emotion.

Featuring a commanding central performance from famed British actor Ralph Fiennes comes the star-studded dramatic thriller CONCLAVE, which delves into one of the world’s most secretive and ancient rituals—the selection of a new Pope. The story centers on Cardinal Lawrence (Fiennes), who is entrusted with overseeing this clandestine, centuries-old process following the sudden death of the beloved Pope. As the Catholic Church’s most powerful leaders gather from across the globe and are sequestered within the Vatican, Lawrence becomes entangled in a web of conspiracy and uncovers a secret that could threaten the very foundation of the Church. Based on UK author Robert Harris’ internationally bestselling novel, with a screenplay by Peter Straughan (TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY) and a score by composer Volker Bertelmann (ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT), this gripping film, set over a few tense days in Vatican City, is filled with suspense and intrigue.

PIECE BY PIECE is an unparalleled motion picture experience that captures the magic and brilliance of Pharrell Williams’ creative genius, one LEGO brick at a time.

Developed from his singular vision, PIECE BY PIECE defies genres and expectations to transport audiences into a LEGO world where anything is possible. From Focus Features, PIECE BY PIECE was directed by Academy Award winner Morgan Neville (20 feet from stardom, Roadrunner) and the end result is nothing short of magical.

Legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott embarks on an journey of the most epic proportions with the long-awaited sequel to his iconic, blood-pumping revenge tale, Gladiator, 24 years after its release. 

Oscar nominee Paul Mescal – looking gloriously toned and reminiscent of a Gladiator-era Russell Crowe – triumphs in the lead role of Lucius, the young son of Lucilla, Connie Nielsen’s noblewoman from the original movie.

Years after witnessing the death of Maximus at the hands of his uncle, Lucius must enter the Colosseum after the powerful emperors of Rome conquer his home. With rage in his heart and the future of the empire at stake, he looks to the past to find the strength and honor needed to return the glory of Rome to its people.

Oscar nominated Mescal stars alongside a mighty ensemble cast that includes two-time Oscar winner Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, Connie Nielsen, and Derek Jacobi. With this fighting-fit talent and pulse-pounding, sword-clashing action sequences, Scott delivers another superb instant classic of the genre.
