Whether you’re looking for trending films to buy and rent or the most popular movies on streaming platforms in the UK, here’s our guide to the best new films to stream this weekend (receive this as a newsletter each weekend here):

1. Steve

Cillian Murphy is superb in this intense, agonising, moving drama about a teacher at a school for troubled kids.

2. The Naked Gun

Liam Neeson is surprisingly game in this unabashedly silly update of the Leslie Nielsen cop comedy.

3. Materialists

Celine Song’s follow-up to Past Lives is a playful, moving dissection of dating and relationships in today’s superficial world.

4. The Fantastic Four: First Steps

Marvel’s bright and breezy ensemble adventure is a heartfelt, funny and grounded delight.

5. All of You

Brett Goldstein and Imogen Poots are a moving double-act in this grounded and convincing romantic drama about two friends – one of the whom thinks they might be soulmates.
