There are also thrillers such as Taron Egerton's Carry-On, as well as horror films including Ti West's Pearl and family-friendly animations like Shrek.</p><p>There's also a lot to look forward to this year, with Netflix set to release some big new originals ranging from <a href=\"https://www.radiotimes.com/movies/happy-gilmore-2-first-official-look-adam-sandler-newsupdate/\">Happy Gilmore 2</a> to <a href=\"https://www.radiotimes.com/movies/guillermo-del-toro-frankenstein-release-date/\">Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein</a>, with <a href=\"https://www.radiotimes.com/movies/the-thursday-murder-club-netflix-cast/\">The Thursday Murder Club</a> and <a href=\"https://www.radiotimes.com/movies/wake-up-dead-man-image-newsupdate/\">Wake Up Dead Man</a> also on the schedule for 2025.</p><p>With so much to sift through, it can be difficult to make that all-important choice of what to watch next.

There, he and wife Em (Cleopatra Coleman) are instructed not to leave their luxury resort under any circumstances. When the alluring Gabi (Mia Goth in sensationally unrestrained form) convinces them to flout this rule, though, major repercussions follow.</p><p>With kaleidoscopic visual sequences and the use of extreme close-ups, Cronenberg crafts an uneasy and offbeat atmosphere that ensures this is not always an easy watch, especially when combined with the frequent bursts of violence.

However, that's not to say Peter is left out in the cold – in fact, the film explores multiversal storytelling before it became the norm for superhero films, and does so with the greatest effect of any so far.</p><p>The heartfelt, funny storytelling is matched by the beautiful, unique animation style, which managed to break through the standard Disney-style template which had ruled in Hollywood for so long.

Directed by Kelly Fremon Craig, it stars young actress Abby Ryder Fortson as an 11-year-old girl muddling her way through her stressful pre-teen years following a move from New York City to suburban New Jersey in the early 1970s.</p><div class="ad-placement" data-count="13140" data-paragraphs-left="105"></div><p>Among the quandaries she has to deal with is a decision regarding which religion to follow – she is part Jewish, part Christian and has been left to make up her own mind. This dilemma serves as an interesting backdrop to a film that is populated with warm, likeable characters and portrays the everyday anxieties of growing up with generous portions of empathy and wit. Meanwhile Rachel McAdams, Benny Safdie and Kathy Bates all turn in delightful supporting performances as Margaret's parents and grandmother, respectively.</p><div class="ad-placement" data-count="13664" data-paragraphs-left="104"></div><h2 id="tar-2022-6c877c71"><strong>Tár (2022)</strong></h2><figure class="image chromatic-ignore"><div class="image__container" style="max-width:700px"><picture class="image__picture" width="700" height="466.66666666666663"><source type="image/webp" sizes="(min-width: 992px) 940px,(min-width: 768px) 728px,(min-width: 544px) 556px,calc(100vw - 20px)" srcSet="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2023/01/TARFP00001R-f2f4390.jpg?quality=90&webp=true&fit=325,217 325w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2023/01/TARFP00001R-f2f4390.jpg?quality=90&webp=true&fit=375,250 375w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2023/01/TARFP00001R-f2f4390.jpg?quality=90&webp=true&fit=650,433 650w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2023/01/TARFP00001R-f2f4390.jpg?quality=90&webp=true&fit=750,500 750w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2023/01/TARFP00001R-f2f4390.jpg?quality=90&webp=true&fit=975,650 975w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2023/01/TARFP00001R-f2f4390.jpg?quality=90&webp=true&fit=1100,733 1100w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2023/01/TARFP00001R-f2f4390.jpg?quality=90&webp=true&fit=1300,867 1300w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2023/01/TARFP00001R-f2f4390.jpg?quality=90&webp=true&fit=1620,1080 1620w"/><source sizes="(min-width: 992px) 940px,(min-width: 768px) 728px,(min-width: 544px) 556px,calc(100vw - 20px)" srcSet="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2023/01/TARFP00001R-f2f4390.jpg?quality=90&fit=325,217 325w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2023/01/TARFP00001R-f2f4390.jpg?quality=90&fit=375,250 375w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2023/01/TARFP00001R-f2f4390.jpg?quality=90&fit=650,433 650w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2023/01/TARFP00001R-f2f4390.jpg?quality=90&fit=750,500 750w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2023/01/TARFP00001R-f2f4390.jpg?quality=90&fit=975,650 975w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2023/01/TARFP00001R-f2f4390.jpg?quality=90&fit=1100,733 1100w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2023/01/TARFP00001R-f2f4390.jpg?quality=90&fit=1300,867 1300w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2023/01/TARFP00001R-f2f4390.jpg?quality=90&fit=1620,1080 1620w"/><img class="image__img" src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2023/01/TARFP00001R-f2f4390.jpg?quality=90&fit=700,467" alt="Cate Blanchett in Tár" data-item-name="Cate Blanchett in Tár" title="TÁR_FP_00001_R" style="aspect-ratio:1 / 0.6666666666666666;object-fit:contain" loading="lazy" width="700" height="466.66666666666663"/></picture></div><div class="editor-content" data-placement="Body"><figcaption>Cate Blanchett in Tár <span class="fs-italic">Universal</span></figcaption></div></figure><p>Without doubt one of the finest films of the 2020s so far, Todd Field's endlessly compelling drama features an exceptional performance from Cate Blanchett as Lydia Tár – a fictional composer, conductor and all-round maestro who instantly exists as a classic cinematic creation.</p><div class="ad-placement" data-count="13941" data-paragraphs-left="103"></div><p>The film explores both her genius and her failings, highlighting her monstrous ego and the anguish she causes others, particularly her put-upon assistant (Noémie Merlant) and violinist partner (Nina Hoss).

Originally envisioned as a direct-to-streaming release, Smile ultimately got the theatrical treatment instead and wowed audiences with its creepy premise (to the tune of more than $200 million in box office earnings).</p><div class="ad-placement" data-count="17398" data-paragraphs-left="91"></div><p>Sosie Bacon leads the cast as Dr Rose Cotter, a psychiatrist who encounters a hysterical patient claiming to be stalked by a supernatural entity, who appears as people she knows and reveals itself with a chilling smile. Alas, its only when this curse is passed onto her by the patient – in a most gruesome manner – that she realises this story is not paranoid delusion, but a nightmarish reality.</p><div class="ad-placement" data-count="17794" data-paragraphs-left="90"></div><p>Writer-director Parker Finn establishes a creeping dread that only grows as the movie continues and Rose's terrifying visions become increasingly extreme. Unnerving camera movements, clever use of background and a visceral score keep the film from leaning too heavily on jumpscares (although they do feature), while Rose's traumatic backstory gives Bacon plenty to sink her teeth into. A must-watch for horror fans!</p><div class="ad-placement" data-count="18209" data-paragraphs-left="89"></div><h2 id="john-wick-chapter-4-2023-a589836a"><strong>John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)</strong></h2><figure class="image chromatic-ignore"><div class="image__container" style="max-width:700px"><picture class="image__picture" width="700" height="393.85299503008105"><source type="image/webp" sizes="(min-width: 992px) 940px,(min-width: 768px) 728px,(min-width: 544px) 556px,calc(100vw -

Little did his prospective clients know, he was working undercover for the police, and their arrests were secured soon after they had handed over cash.</p><div class="ad-placement" data-count="31488" data-paragraphs-left="47"></div><p>A version of Johnson is played by Glen Powell – who also co-wrote the script with Linklater – with the film using the real tale as a jumping off point to tell a fictional love story that ponders what might have happened if he had become romantically involved with one of the clients. The result is a romcom that sees Gary continue to adopt the fake hitman guise he had used on his first encounter with love interest Maddy (Adria Arjona) – which, unsurprisingly, leads to a couple of issues later down the line.</p><div class="ad-placement" data-count="31998" data-paragraphs-left="46"></div><p>Equal parts farcical screwball comedy and philosophical musing on the nature of identity, the film asks fascinating questions about the capacity of a person to change while never being anything less than brilliantly entertaining. The chemistry between Powell and Arjona is palpable and there are some superbly executed set pieces, leading up to an enjoyably twisted conclusion.</p><div class="ad-placement" data-count="32375" data-paragraphs-left="45"></div><h2 id="godzilla-minus-one-2023-29a8a454"><strong>Godzilla Minus One (2023)</strong></h2><figure class="image chromatic-ignore"><div class="image__container" style="max-width:700px"><picture class="image__picture" width="700" height="466.2903225806452"><source type="image/webp" sizes="(min-width: 992px) 940px,(min-width: 768px) 728px,(min-width: 544px) 556px,calc(100vw - 20px)" srcSet="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2024/06/Godzilla-Minus-One-b9b6eea.jpg?quality=90&webp=true&fit=325,216 325w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2024/06/Godzilla-Minus-One-b9b6eea.jpg?quality=90&webp=true&fit=375,250 375w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2024/06/Godzilla-Minus-One-b9b6eea.jpg?quality=90&webp=true&fit=650,433 650w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2024/06/Godzilla-Minus-One-b9b6eea.jpg?quality=90&webp=true&fit=750,500 750w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2024/06/Godzilla-Minus-One-b9b6eea.jpg?quality=90&webp=true&fit=975,649 975w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2024/06/Godzilla-Minus-One-b9b6eea.jpg?quality=90&webp=true&fit=1100,733 1100w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2024/06/Godzilla-Minus-One-b9b6eea.jpg?quality=90&webp=true&fit=1300,866 1300w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2024/06/Godzilla-Minus-One-b9b6eea.jpg?quality=90&webp=true&fit=1349,899 1349w"/><source sizes="(min-width: 992px) 940px,(min-width: 768px) 728px,(min-width: 544px) 556px,calc(100vw - 20px)" srcSet="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2024/06/Godzilla-Minus-One-b9b6eea.jpg?quality=90&fit=325,216 325w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2024/06/Godzilla-Minus-One-b9b6eea.jpg?quality=90&fit=375,250 375w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2024/06/Godzilla-Minus-One-b9b6eea.jpg?quality=90&fit=650,433 650w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2024/06/Godzilla-Minus-One-b9b6eea.jpg?quality=90&fit=750,500 750w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2024/06/Godzilla-Minus-One-b9b6eea.jpg?quality=90&fit=975,649 975w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2024/06/Godzilla-Minus-One-b9b6eea.jpg?quality=90&fit=1100,733 1100w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2024/06/Godzilla-Minus-One-b9b6eea.jpg?quality=90&fit=1300,866 1300w,https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2024/06/Godzilla-Minus-One-b9b6eea.jpg?quality=90&fit=1349,899 1349w"/><img class="image__img" src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2024/06/Godzilla-Minus-One-b9b6eea.jpg?quality=90&fit=700,466" alt="Godzilla Minus One" data-item-name="Godzilla Minus One" title="Godzilla Minus One" style="aspect-ratio:1 / 0.6661290322580645;object-fit:contain" loading="lazy" width="700" height="466.2903225806452"/></picture></div><div class="editor-content" data-placement="Body"><figcaption>Godzilla Minus One.</figcaption></div></figure><p>If the increasingly silly tone of Hollywood's monster franchise isn't your cup of tea, then consider trying out this distinct and unrelated Japanese version, which earned acclaim upon release last year.
