Feat. Zar Amir Ebrahimi, Selina Zahednia, Osamah Sami
This Australian drama filmed mostly in the Persian language is made something special by two magnetic actresses. Iranian émigré Zar Amir Ebrahimi (Holy Spider) is almost upstaged by her six-year-old co-star as a mother and daughter forced to stay in a Melbourne women's refuge during the two weeks of the…

Dir. Charlotte Regan
Feat. Harris Dickinson, Lola Campbell
A cheeky charmer set in East London that refreshingly leans away from the miseries of working-class life, inspired as it was by Taika Waititi's "Boy".

Melissa Barrera (In The Heights) and Paul Mescal (Normal People, Aftersun) star as strangers who become shackled to each other's fates after a tragic incident at the Mexican border. For dance fans especially, this owes more to Baz Lurhmann's Romeo & Juliet than it does to the Bizet Opera or the original…

A potent chamber drama that re-enacts true events surrounding a government security breach related to Russian interference in the 2016 US election, based on transcripts of an actual FBI interrogation. Director Tina Satter adapts her own stage play for the screen, and the material makes for an…
Jane EyreJane Eyre (2011)
Dir. Cary Joji Fukunaga
Feat. Mia Wasikowska, Michael Fassbender, Jamie Bell
A delicate and atmospheric adaptation of the much-filmed Charlotte Bronte melodrama tragedy about a young governess who seals her tragic fate by falling deeply in love with her "unsuitable" employer. Some have found this version a little chilly but actor-of-the-moment Fassbender has the necessary charisma…
