From Netflix and Amazon Prime Video to Sky Cinema and MUBI, let alone day-and-date, premium VOD and home entertainment releases, there are a lot of films out there to choose between. (See our streaming recommendations for what to watch right now.)

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. The Sheep Detectives

This fun, playful, warm and smart mystery is a baa-rilliant delight.

2. Avatar: Fire and Ash

James Cameron’s bloated sci-fi sequel is uneven but still finds thrilling spetacle in its blockbusting.

3. Office Romance

Charming turns from Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein – and a scene-stealing Betty Gilpin – make this uneven romantic comedy that can’t decide whether to be sweet or naughty a fun romp.

4. Project Hail Mary

A science teacher finds himself on a last-chance mission in this inventive, funny and surprising sci-fi gem that will have you quoting its dialogue for days.

5. Now You See Me Now You Don’t

The entertainingly absurd magic franchise’s self-aware third flourish is a fun but forgettable outing that loses some of its imaginative spark.
