For the last few years, Netflix has been home to the vast majority of the Studio Ghibli catalogue, and now the latest film from the hugely acclaimed and widely beloved Japanese animation studio has been added to the library. The Boy and the Heron saw the legendary Hayao Miyazaki come out of retirement, and went on to win the Academy Award for Best ...
This black comedy film from earlier this year came and went, but in many ways it's worth your time for the cast alone, which is led by Olivia Colman, Jessie Buckley, Timothy Spall and Anjana Vasan. Loosely based on a true story, it follows an investigation after a woman living in the seaside town of Littlehampton in 1920 starts receiving crude, abu...
As Edgar Wright's breakout film celebrates its 20th anniversary, there's never been a better time to return to the horror comedy classic. Starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, the film follows a zombie outbreak in 21st century London, as Shaun and his slacker friend Ed attempt to save themselves, and their loved ones, from the massing hoards. There's...
Richard Linklateris currently a couple of years into what he sees as being a 20-year intermittent shoot for his adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's musical Merrily We Roll Along – a similar filming pattern he used for this 2014 masterpiece. The extraordinary film tells the story of a young American every-boy (Ellar Coltrane), tracking him up to the ag...
Film adaptations are currently in the works of Kazuo Ishiguro's two most recent novels, The Buried Giant (with Guillermo del Toro as director) and Klara and the Sun (helmed by Taika Waititi), but as things stand this 1993 film of his Booker Prize-winning novel of the same name remains the best adaptation of his work. It stars Anthony Hopkins as the...
Rob Reiner's nostalgic drama is widely agreed to be one of the most successful adaptations of a story by horror master Stephen King - in this case, a novella called The Body from his primarily non-supernatural collection of stories, Different Seasons. It's a likeable but hard-centred picaresque set in 1950s Oregon that blends the themes of childhoo...
This crime thriller from Blue Ruin and Green Room writer/director Jeremy Saulnier is one of the best Netflix originals of the year – attracting both impressive viewership numbers and near universally positive reviews from critics. Starring Aaron Pierre as a former Marine who discovers a major cop corruption operation while attempting to post bail f...
With Tim Burton's new sequel now out in cinemas, there's never been a better time than to revisit the original Beetlejuice from 1988 – and luckily it's on Netflix. The anarchic fantasy comedy follows events in the town of Winter River after the Deetz family move in to a house whose previous occupants the Maitlands had died in a tragic car accident ...
Gary Oldman is currently starring on the small screen as the irascible Jackson Lamb in Slow Horses, but around a decade before, he played a very different spy in director Tomas Alfredson's superb Cold War drama. Adapted from the John le Carré novel of the same name, Oldman plays veteran agent George Smiley – who is called back in by his superior fo...
This subdued survival film arrived in UK cinemas earlier in 2024 after a 2023 debut in the States – and works best as an acting showcase for Jodie Comer, in her first leading role on the big screen. She plays a nameless character - referred to in the credits only as Woman - who gives birth to her first child just as London is being submerged by cat...
