1. Wicked: For Good

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande lose none of their magic in this uneven but moving conclusion to the lavish musical adaptation.

Robert Aramayo is exceptional in this heartfelt, funny and moving drama about John Davidson, a Tourette Syndrome campaigner from Scotland.

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