The Apprentice
Director: Ali Abbasi
Cast: Sebastian Stan, Maria Bakalova, Jeremy Strong
After making a major splash at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, multi-award-winning, Iranian-Danish filmmaker Ali Abbasi's scandalous portrait of a young Trump brings a searing exploration of the underbelly of the American empire to the big screen. Following his 2018 Oscar nominated, Cannes award-winner, 'Border', and the 2022 critically acclaimed chilling thriller, 'Holy Spider', Abbasi delivers a sharp, timely story aided by masterful lead performances. 1970s New York. Determined to emerge from his powerful father’s shadow and make himself in Manhattan real estate, aspiring mogul Donald J. Trump (Emmy nominee Sebastian Stan) is in the earliest days of his career when he encounters the man who will become one of the most important figures in his life, political fixer Roy Cohn (Succession's Emmy-winning Jeremy Strong in an awards-worthy performance). Seeing promise in young Donald, the influential right-wing attorney—who secured espionage convictions against Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and investigated suspected Communists alongside Senator Joseph McCarthy—teaches his new acolyte how to amass wealth and power through deception, intimidation and media manipulation. The rest is history. An 'excellent' Stan 'captures the essence of [Trump]' (Hollywood Reporter) alongside Strong as an 'utterly believable Cohn' (The London Evening Standard) in the gripping examination of the mentor-protégé relationship that would ultimately change the world. The brutally arresting feature also stars Oscar nominee Maria Bakalova, Martin Donovan and Catherine McNally, with a script from Gabriel Sherman, author of the New York Times best-selling biography of Fox News founder Roger Ailes, 'The Loudest Voice in the Room'.

The Substance
Director: Coralie Fargeat
Cast: Dennis Quaid, Margaret Qualley, Demi Moore
Demi Moore delivers the performance of her career according to critics in Coralie Fargeat’s audacious Cannes Film Festival Best Screenplay award-winning body horror, THE SUBSTANCE. Moore's co-star Margaret Qualley is also ferociously formidable coming off of two similarly outlandish and bold roles in Yorgos Lanthimos' Oscar-winning ‘Poor Things’ and his twisted follow-up ‘Kinds Of Kindness’. Elisabeth Sparkle (Moore), renowned for an aerobics show, faces a devastating blow on her 50th birthday when she is unceremoniously fired. Amid her distress, a laboratory offers her a black-market substance which promises to transform her into an enhanced version of herself (Qualley). A frenzied and satirical body horror that's as clever as it is gory, THE SUBSTANCE adds a timely and viscerally confronting feminist spin on ageism and the toll of vanity.
Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story
Directors: Ian Bonhôte, Peter Ettedgui
Cast: Christopher Reeve
The story of Christopher Reeve is an astonishing rise from unknown actor to iconic movie star, and his definitive portrayal of Clark Kent/Superman set the benchmark for the superhero cinematic universes that dominate cinema today. Reeve portrayed the Man of Steel in four Superman films and played dozens of other roles that displayed his talent and range as an actor, before being injured in a near-fatal horse-riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down. After becoming a quadriplegic, he became a charismatic leader and activist in the quest to find a cure for spinal cord injuries, as well as a passionate advocate for disability rights and care - all while continuing his career in cinema in front of and behind the camera and dedicating himself to his beloved family. From the directors of McQueen, Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, this film includes never-before-seen intimate home movies and an extraordinary trove of personal archive material, as well as the first extended interviews ever filmed with Reeve’s three children about their father, and interviews with the A-list Hollywood actors who were Reeve’s colleagues and friends. The film is a moving and vivid cinematic telling of Reeve’s remarkable story.
Ghostlight
Directors: Alex Thompson, Kelly O'Sullivan
Cast: Dolly de Leon, Keith Kupferer, Katherine Mallen Kupferer
Alex Thompson and Kelly O'Sullivan’s moving, gently comic collaboration is about the power of live theater to make sense of our offstage dramas and personal narratives. Ghostlight centers on Dan (Keith Kupferer), a melancholic middle-aged construction worker grieving a family tragedy. Cut off from his devoted wife, Sharon (Tara Mallen), and talented but troubled daughter, Daisy (Katherine Mallen Kupferer), Dan finds comfort and community in a misfit company of amateur actors. While moonlighting in a low-rent production of Shakespeare’s most protean tragedy, Dan is forced to confront his buried emotions. Real-life family Mallen, Kupferer, and Mallen Kupferer bring tenderness and authenticity to this poignant portrait, while Dolly de Leon — last seen stealing the scene in Triangle of Sadness — is hilarious as Dan’s irascible, improbable co-star. After premiering at Sundance this year, Ghostlight has impressed audiences and critics alike with its touching and gently comic tale of the healing power of art. With 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and a high placing on Letterboxd's Top 10 films of the year, this is one you don't want to miss!

A Difficult Year
Directors: Olivier Nakache, Éric Toledano
Cast: Mathieu Amalric, Pio Marmaï, Grégoire Leprince-Ringuet
The wildly entertaining new comedy from irrepressible filmmaking duo Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache (The Intouchables, C'est la vie!), A DIFFICULT YEAR stars Pio Marmaï and Jonathan Cohen as two compulsive spenders who get much more than they bargained for when they try and scam their way out of trouble. Both in debt up to their necks, Albert (Marmaï) and Bruno (Cohen) have turned to a community worker (Mathieu Amalric) to try and help get a grip on their lives. However, at one of their group sessions they instead stumble into an adjoining meeting room hosting a gathering of young social activists, led by a vivacious organiser (the fabulous Noémie Merlant). Attracted more by the free beer and chips than the group's struggle against consumerism and protection of the environment (whilst acknowledging the hugs are quite nice), Albert and Bruno join the movement without any particular conviction, but soon sense an opportunity... if they don't get arrested first. Expertly poking fun at their characters while simultaneously honouring them, A DIFFICULT YEAR delivers both laughs and pathos in spades, thanks to the directors' ongoing faith in humanity's desire to change. With of-the-moment resonances to Australia’s social and ‘cozzie livs’ concerns, it's a must-see entertainment.

Inspired by a real-life experience of Margolin’s own grandmother, THELMA puts a clever spin on movies like MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, shining the spotlight on an elderly grandmother as an unlikely action hero. In the first leading film role of her 70-year career, Squibb portrays the strong-willed Thelma with grit and determination, demonstrating that she is more than capable of taking care of business – despite what her daughter Gail (Posey), son-in-law Alan (Gregg), or grandson Danny might believe.

Bonnard, Pierre & Marthe
Vincent Macaigne and Cecile de France enrapture in BONNARD, PIERRE & MARTHE, the beautiful and transporting new historical drama from multi award-winning director Martin Provost (Séraphine, The Midwife) about the turbulent love story between the renowned post-Impressionist painter and his lesser-known (but influential) wife. 1893.
