Belfast
Screen greats Judi Dench and Ciarán Hinds star alongside Jamie Dornan (50 Shades of Grey) and Caitriona Balfe (Outlander) for filmmaker Kenneth Branagh’s semi-autobiographical drama set in the Northern Ireland capital during the late 1960s. Winner of Best Screenplay at the 2022 Oscars, Matt Glasby considered the film a sweet (perhaps syrupy) love letter to childhood.
Available from August 20
The Rehearsal
Nathan Fielder (Nathan for You) brings together a construction crew, a legion of actors, and seemingly unlimited resources to help ordinary people “rehearse” big upcoming moments in their lives through carefully constructed simulations of the events.
Available from August 27
Scream
The directors of Ready or Not helm this new entry in Wes Craven’s satirical slasher series. With some of the most graphic deaths of the franchise to date, Steve Newall reckon Craven would lively be proud of how this fifth film moves from horror commentary comedy to carnage.
Available from August 5
Industry: Season 2
Set in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis, this HBO series continues to see the ambitious twentysomethings of high finance making their way through this cutthroat world.
Available from August 2
Venom: Let There Be Carnage
Tom Hardy and Michelle Williams return for the Andy Serkis-directed sequel to the 2018 Marvel superhero actioner, alongside new cast members Woody Harrelson and Naomie Harris. It’s a sly, sharp and wickedly funny sequel, Luke Buckmaster writes.
