1. Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery

A surprisingly serious exploration of faith, guilt and grace, this funny yet thoughtful trilogy finale is the best Knives Out film yet.

2. F1: The Movie

This unsurprising but undeniably polished F1-endorsed blockbuster is gripping Dad Cinema at its most entertaining.

3. Play Dirty

Mark Wahlberg and LaKeith Stanfield are a fun double-act in Shane Black’s enjoyable, intricate heist comedy.

4. The Roses

Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch are hilarious in this darkly funny farce dissecting a marital breakdown.

5. Jay Kelly

Disarmingly vulnerable turns from George Clooney and Adam Sandler make Noah Baumbach’s conventional love letter to Hollywood a charming slice of old-fashioned class.
