The Kitchen Brigade

This French comedy film centres on sous-chef Cathy who wants to open her own restaurant. However, financial struggles get in the way and instead, she takes up a job at a shelter for young migrants. Here, her passion for cooking is taken to the next level when she begins enriching the lives of the young people.

Lightyear

Time to revisit the Toy Story world with this animated film based on Buzz Lightyear’s adventures “to infinity and beyond”. This one is perfect for the kids, and for the big kids who still love the old movies.

Elvis

This biopic spans 20 years of Elvis Presley’s life, from his rise to fame in the 50s and the complicated relationship he had with his manager through to his love life with Priscilla. Austin Butler, who plays Elvis, was reportedly coached well in advance to shooting so that his voice could sound as similar to Presley’s as possible. This included watching plenty of Elvis’ past concerts.

Minions: The Rise of Gru

Based in the 1970s, the newest Minion edition follows a 12-year-old boy (Gru) hatching a plan to become a supervillain. Alongside the Minions, they cause some mayhem, but it doesn’t all go to plan.

Nude Tuesday

In an attempt to save their marriage, a suburban couple visits a new-age retreat. Though, their path to rekindling their spark will involve a lot of amusement and humiliation. If you’re after an outrageously comedic watch, this could be it.

Lost Illusions

Winning 7 Cesar Awards including Best Film, this French movie follows a young man in Paris in the 1800s, who aspires to be a writer and later becomes a journalist.

The Black Phone

One for the horror lovers, this unsettling movie follows a child abduction, where the 13-year-old who was taken starts getting calls from the killer’s previous victims whilst locked in a basement. Sounds terrifying, and if it’s anything like Sinister, it absolutely will be!
