Main Genre
Comedy

Kelly Fremon Craig's directorial debut (a film which she also wrote), The Edge of Seventeen, is a coming-of-age story that stars Hailee Steinfeld and Woody Harrelson, with Kyra Sedgwick, Blake Jenner, and Haley Lu Richardson excellent in their supporting roles. Edge of Seventeen is a raw exploration of a cringe-filled experience as Nadine (Steinfeld) navigates high school with a seemingly perfect older brother (Jenner), an image-obsessed mother (Sedgwick), and her best friend (Richardson).

The quippy interactions between Nadine and her teacher (Harrelson) are the true highlight of The Edge of Seventeen, as their reluctant mentor-mentee relationship feels authentic through the witty dialogue and earnest performances. Steinfeld and Harrelson are the best part of this movie, introducing humor in taxing situations and when confronting heartbreaking realities such as grief and loss. - Yael Tygiel

The film was popular with audiences when it premiered, with critics liking its satirical nature and the way in which it flipped teen tropes on their heads. It was nominated for two Independent Spirit Awards, including Best Screenplay, as well as a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Film. - Emily Cappello

Written and directed by Kenneth Branagh (Murder on the Orient Express), Belfast is a coming-of-age story about a boy’s childhood experiences in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The film takes place in 1969 at the beginning of The Troubles, which was an ethnonationalism conflict fueled by religious discrimination between Protestants and Catholics. While the film’s focus is mainly on nine-year-old Buddy (Jude Hill), it also includes his family life with Me (Caitríona Balfe), Pa (Jamie Dornan), and his older brother, Will (Lewis McAskie).

The film was widely praised by audiences and critics alike, winning Branaugh an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay at the 2022 Academy Awards, in addition to its six other nominations, including Best Picture. At the Golden Globes, Belfast won Best Screenplay in addition to its six other nominations. - Emily Cappello

Directed and written for the screen by Sarah Polley, the film is an intense ride with many difficult scenes and visuals. It’s best to watch the film if you know you’re in the right headspace and won’t be personally affected by any of the material.

Written, directed, and co-produced by Promising Young Woman’s Emerald Fennell, Saltburn reunites her with Carey Mulligan, who appears alongside an incredible cast including Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike, and Richard E. Grant. Saltburn focuses on Oliver (Keoghan), a young man struggling through the social side of Oxford University when he’s invited to join the family of charismatic and classy Felix Catton (Elordi) on summer holiday. Wickedly exciting events ensue as the family’s eccentricities are revealed, forcing young Oliver to sink or swim.

Known for her clever storytelling and catchy visuals, Fennell pours her feverish style all over Saltburn. Like Promising Young Woman, Saltburn weaves a thrilling tale exploring the intersection of sex, violence, and class while slathering on a colorful veneer of secrets. Peppered with stellar acting, the talent within the ensemble cast is undeniable, yet it’s Fennell’s ability to maneuver through harshness and humor that sets Saltburn apart. - Yael Tygiel

Tár revolves around the titular character Lydia Tár (Cate Blanchett), a pioneering conductor of a renowned German Orchestra. At the peak of her career, she's gearing up for a book launch and a highly anticipated live performance of Mahler's Fifth Symphony. However, as the following weeks unfold, her life takes a uniquely modern turn, resulting in a compelling exploration of power, its consequences, and its relevance in contemporary society.

Tár is a brilliantly crafted depiction of a complex woman and her various relationships — with her family, her industry, and time itself. The film is also a nuanced work that naturally prompts challenging and uncomfortable conversations about women in positions of power and the potential for power abuse. Furthermore, Tár stands out as an atypical #MeToo movement story in which the perpetrator is a woman. It underscores the important message that danger and threats can emerge from unexpected sources, even within what is traditionally considered a victim pool. Tár also refrains from making overt, accusatory statements about the state of our society and individuals in positions of authority. Instead, it invites the audience to examine Lydia, encouraging them to perceive her in her entirety and to form their own conclusions. - Jessie Nguyen

Earning eight Academy Award nominations, Funny Girl is the iconic musical comedy film that was not only Barbra Streisand’s film debut but also gave her her first Oscar. Directed by William Wyler, Funny Girl is based on the true story of comedienne Fanny Brice (Streisand), her romance with Nick Arnstein (Omar Sharif), and her rise to stardom around World War I. Supported by Kay Medford and Anne Francis, Funny Girl was adapted by Isobel Lennart from her book for the semi-biographical Broadway show.

With recent returns to Broadway, allowing both Beanie Feldstein and Lea Michele a chance at playing Brice, Funny Girl continues to hold strong to its legacy, yet no performance is better than Streisand’s award-winning portrayal. With hilarious jokes and memorable quips, Funny Girl also shines due to the catchy, and now legendary, musical numbers, including Don’t Rain on My Parade and People. - Yael Tygiel

Heathers revolves around Veronica Sawyer, played by Winona Ryder, who is part of a popular but cruel clique of girls, all named Heather, at Westerburg High School. The Heathers, led by the domineering and ruthless Heather Chandler (Kim Walker), engage in manipulative and bullying behavior. Veronica becomes disillusioned with the Heathers and falls for a rebellious new student named Jason "J.D." Dean (Christian Slater). Together, they embark on a dark and satirical journey, inadvertently causing chaos and violence in the high school.

Even three decades later, Heathers remains an iconic movie about high school and has achieved cult classic status over the years, drawing a dedicated fan base. It satirically comments on high school social dynamics, bullying, and extremes, featuring memorable characters like the domineering Heather Chandler and rebellious J.D., who have left an enduring mark on pop culture. Additionally, Heathers is a unique blend of horror, satire, and teen drama, along with its sharp dialogue and dark high school politics, setting it apart in the high school movie genre. The film's distinctive '80s aesthetic and killer soundtrack also further enhance its visual and auditory appeal. Moreover, Ryder flawlessly embodies a character that fans can scarcely believe exists in real life, cementing it as one of her most iconic roles ever. - Jessie Nguyen

Set in the hot New York summer of 1957, Sylvie's Love tells the story of Robert (Nnamdi Asomugha), a saxophonist playing in a jazz quartet led by a less talented bandleader, and Sylvie (Tessa Thompson), a young woman dreaming of a television career while working at her father's record store as she awaits her fiancé's return from war. When Robert starts working part-time at the record store, their friendship ignites a profound passion in each of them, unlike anything they've ever experienced.

Sylvie's Love is a nostalgic throwback that envelops the audience in a lush cinematic tapestry of jazz, ambition, and starry-eyed enchantment, creating a captivating and evocative experience. Rather than following the typical "boy meets girl and falls in love" formula, the film presents a narrative that harks back to the classic storytelling of Hollywood's golden years — an approach that people of color should have had the opportunity to take on leading roles in. Furthermore, the film strikes a balance of being heartwarming without becoming overly sentimental. It also serves as a showcase for the exceptional chemistry between Thompson and Asomugha. In an era when Black love stories were rarely portrayed in this manner, it's wonderful that we've reached a point where such stories can be beautifully depicted. - Jessie Nguyen

Read Our ReviewBased on the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, this film by directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein tells the story of Chris Pine’s Edgin Darvis, a bard and former gang member who is left to bring up his daughter alone following the tragic death of his wife. After meeting Holga (Michelle Rodriguez), the two become close, with Holga even acting as a surrogate mother to Edgin’s daughter. As a team, they attempt to find a magic stone to bring the mother back to life but are frustratingly captured and imprisoned before they can succeed. With so much on the line, how will the care of a father defeat the improbable, all in the name of familial love?

Just like the game it comes from, Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is packed full of fun fantasy adventure, with many comparisons made to the Guardians of the Galaxy series. Among an all-star cast, Hugh Grant stands out in his all-new villain era, thriving thanks to his dastardly evil front with a mischievous twinkle in his eye. Despite indulging in its own lore, the plot never loses sight of the genuine depth at its heart, with this movie certainly able to be enjoyed by the entire family. - Jake Hodges

Read Our ReviewThis futuristic horror stars Allison Williams as Gemma, an engineer at a robotic toy manufacturer whose life changes after she suddenly becomes the sole caregiver to her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw). Trying to make the most of the situation, Gemma sees Cady as a chance to test out her company’s latest invention: a lifelike robot called M3GAN (Amie Donald), voiced by Jenna Davis. In an attempt to help both herself and her niece, who is struggling to make friends, the prototype robot instead causes unforeseen havoc for all parties involved.

A horror movie with a finger on the pulse of modern attitudes to technology, M3GAN is a disturbing adventure that will make you want to switch off your smart devices. Although the story follows many of the beats a normal horror narrative would, a perfect formula need not be tampered with as director Gerard Johnstone delivers everything a fan of the genre could ask for. Fun, thrilling, and intense, M3GAN is a shining example of why creative horror movies like this are impossible to miss. - Jake Hodges

Read Our ReviewSet 36 years after the release of the original, Top Gun: Maverick catches up with the titular high-flyer (Tom Cruise) after he rejoins the United States Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program. No longer the budding young talent he once was, Maverick is charged with training up the heroes of tomorrow to face the toughest of missions. With his past also ready to be battled, that particular challenge manifests itself in the form of one of his trainees: the son of his deceased best friend Goose, played by Miles Teller.

Jam-packed full of action stunts and eye-popping set pieces, it could have been easy for director Joseph Kosinski and the rest of the Top Gun team to simply make an ode to the classic it is a sequel of, but Top Gun: Maverick instead uses the pedestal created by the original as a springboard to make one of the most exciting films of the 2020s so far. Put simply, there were many cries for this sequel to not be made, with plenty citing Top Gun’s satisfying ending as more than enough for this particular story… how wrong they were. - Jake Hodges

Starring the timeless pairing of Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn, Charade follows Hepburn’s Regina Lampert, who, after admitting her plan to leave her husband, returns to Paris to find her belongings stolen and is informed her husband is dead. Despite initial blame pinned on the now deceased spouse, Regina is unsure of what to believe and, with the help of new friend Peter (Cary Grant), goes on a mission to track down the truth. However, it is Regina and Peter themselves who are also being tracked down as this mystery unravels with twists and turns aplenty.

A classic in many ways, Charade represents the best of a golden period of cinema, with a swelling score, charming comedic dialogue, and a central pair with more chemistry than a science lab. Widely cited as one of Hepburn’s best films, Charade excels as a narrative that, on its surface, feels superficially hilarious but, when digging deeper, actually contains a gripping tale of deceit and betrayal. Colorful, vibrant, and wild, Charade is the definition of fun, with it holding up today just as well as it did in 1963. - Jake Hodges

Read Our ReviewA film that found enormous success on the festival circuit before making its way to Prime, Nanny follows Aisha (Anna Diop), a woman who, whilst leaving her son behind, traveled from Senegal to New York City on the hunt for the American Dream. After becoming a nanny for a middle-class career-driven white couple, she ends up connecting with their 6-year-old daughter Rose (Rose Decker) as her life slowly becomes attached to this family’s. However, as the family unit begins to unravel, so does Aisha’s mental state, with her disconnection from her son causing much more harm than she had once thought.

A horror movie with a deeply personal central message, Nanny is a mature story that comes surprisingly as writer/director Nikyatu Jusu’s debut feature. Rather than simply molding to the generic expectations of horror, Jusu instead adds horror flourishings to a touching dramatic script with all the sadness and depth of a tragedy. The final twist is brilliantly crafted, with each beat of the story unexpectedly serving the film’s triumphant ending. Riddled with tension, Nanny must be added to your watch list with haste. - Jake Hodges

Read Our ReviewWidely regarded as the greatest Christmas movie of all time, It’s A Wonderful Life follows James Stewart’s businessman George who, after generously donating much of his life to those less fortunate than him, finds himself stuck in a rut on Christmas Eve after financial trouble. Fearing for his own safety after he is sure to be accused of a crime he didn’t commit, George makes the decision that the lives of his loved ones would be better off without him. That is until he is visited by an angel (Henry Travers). By showing George how much poorer life would have been if he had never been born, will the guardian angel finally restore George’s faith?

A story with the true spirit of Christmas at its heart, It’s A Wonderful Life is both heartwarming and heartbreaking, managing to blend tear-jerking drama with genuinely hope-filled fantasy. Considered legendary for a reason, James Stewart’s performance as George is quite possibly the iconic actor’s best, with the rest of the ensemble also in top form.

After finding the resurrected body of her brother-in-law Frank (Sean Chapman), the man who first opened the puzzle box, Julia (Clare Higgins) is convinced to seek blood sacrifices in an attempt to save Frank from the clutches of the demonic creatures led by the iconic Pinhead.

Spawning a total of nine sequels, Hellraiser has found itself a huge fanbase thanks to its unique story and legendary villain. Certainly the best in the series, the original Hellraiser is a masterpiece in building tension and creating visual horror, with cinematographer Robin Vidgeon crafting a beautifully gruesome set of scenes that make it impossible to look away.
