Killers of the Flower Moon (AppleTV – 216 mins)

With a runtime like that, I understand why you may have been loathe to see it in the cinema. But you’ve really got no excuse now. And, with awards season fully upon us now, it’s about time you get invested by watching this and joining in the bewilderment as to why Lily Gladstone hasn’t been nominated for all the awards.

The Creator (Disney+ – 133 mins)

Few films in 2023 were in possession of world-building as good as this, something made even more impressive when you consider it’s $80 million budget (for reference, Fast X had a budget of $340 million and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania had $200 million). Set in 2070, 15 years after the denotations of a nuclear weapon win Los Angeles started a war against artificial intelligence, an ex-special forces agent is recruited to hunt down and kill the “Creator,” who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war.

The Kitchen (Netflix – 107 mins)

Speaking of science fiction, but through a much smaller, almost social realist lens, comes a story of fatherhood and love for the community – in a dystopian London the divide between rich and poor becomes explosive. Directed by Daniel Kaluuya (who also co-wrote it) and Kibwe Tavares, this all feels terrifyingly plausible.

American Nightmare (Netflix – 3 x 60 mins)

Gone Girl is many things. It’s an example of a film that is as good as, if not better than the movie. It features a monologue of Rosamund Pike that is up there with one of the most iconic film monologues of the 21st Century. It’s Anne Hathaway’s favourite romcom. And, seemingly, for one woman it served as a manual for staging her own disappearance. Or did it…? By the team behind the Tinder Swindler, this 3-part true crime doc will snare you in for a dramatic ride.

Champion (Netflix/BBC – 8 x 45 mins)

Having just arrived on Netflix, maybe this gem will finally get some of the attention it deserves. Created and written by Candice Carty-Williams (whose wonderful novel Queenie has been adapted and will be out later this year), Champion follows British Rapper Bosco Champion as he attempts a comeback, just as his younger sister, Vita, decides it’s finally time to step out from under his shadow. Courtesy of it’s original soundtrack, sibling rivalry never sounded this good.
