- Lovers Rock. Steve McQueen, UK. ► Trailer. A house party thrown by young Black Britons in London in the early 1980s becomes a haven in the rapturous, sublime second film in Steve McQueen’s landmark five-film Small Axe collection.
- Time. Garrett Bradley, US. ► Trailer. Bradley’s diary film follows Sibil Fox Richardson, who for nearly two decades has been campaigning for the release of her husband, Rob, after he was sentenced in 1999 to 60 years in prison for a robbery.
- First Cow. Kelly Reichardt, US. ► Trailer. Reichardt gives us a deliciously laconic vision of the pioneer American melting pot with this playful, poignant fable of a couple of furtive cakebakers in 1820s Oregon.
- I’m Thinking of Ending Things. Charlie Kaufman, US. ► Trailer. Kaufman’s claustrophobic chamber theatre piece-cum-road movie-cum-psychological horror – made for Netflix and released straight to the streaming platform, bypassing cinemas – stars Jessie Buckley as a young woman who travels with her boyfriend (Jesse Plemons) to meet his parents, played by Toni Collette and David Thewlis.
- Parasite. ‘Have you seen Parasite?’ became the new greeting in our office back in January. I hadn’t, and regularly had to vacate the area to avoid spoilers.
- Rocks. I can’t stop thinking about Rocks. The cast, the script, the way it’s shot: everything about it is so authentic there are moments when you feel you’re watching a documentary rather than a coming-of-age drama.
- Saint Maud. I was very taken by Rose Glass’s astonishing directorial debut. ‘ British seaside horror’ was always going to appeal to me, but I was not expecting to come away from this uncanny masterpiece quite so affected.
- Portrait of a Lady on Fire. This French romance scratched a very specific itch for me by being a period piece where people repeatedly and dramatically run up to the edges of cliffs (Black Narcissus is another high point in this subgenre).
