The Many Saints of Newark (12A)

AJ is an awkward 17-year-old who reluctantly joins her family for a seaside holiday. When she discovers the campsite doesn’t even have Wi-Fi, it promises to be the worst week of her life.

On the spectacular Tibetan plateau we meet Darje and Drolkar, who live in a remote shepherding community.

With China’s one child policy and Buddhist ideals of reincarnation, they face both a ruinous fine and community scorn.

Dune (12A)

There have been many attempts to bring Frank Herbert’s monumental Sci-Fi novel to the screen, but all pale into insignificance against this dazzling new adaptation from Denis Villeneuve, the virtuoso director of Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival. A mythic and emotionally charged hero's journey, it tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny, who must travel to a dangerous planet to protect supplies of a precious commodity.

Boss Baby 2: Family Business (Cert TBC)

In the sequel to the 2017 hit, the Templeton brothers have become adults and drifted away from each other, but are reunited when they take a magical formula that transforms them into babies for 48 hours. Joining forces with Tim's secret-agent daughter, they must go undercover to prevent an evil genius from turning fellow toddlers into monstrous brats.

Last Night In Soho (CTBC) Edgar Wright’s latest film combines a wonderfully vivid depiction of swinging sixties London, a compelling cold case whodunnit and eerie (and be warned, bloody) psychological horror to great effect. The starry cast includes several veteran British actors who were in their heyday in the 60s, including the late Diana Rigg as the mysterious landlady to Eloise, who has moved to London to pursue her fashion career.
