10 best films this year (and where to watch them)
10) Twisters
A huge, jaw-slackening spectacle of a summer blockbuster. Though the plot is a little predictable, it has a stellar cast and some touching moments. It’s even found itself nominated for two Oscars. Prime Video, Apple TV and other platforms
9) Queer
By far Daniel Craig’s best performance of his career (to date) he plays an American expat in Mexico City in the 1950s. The period romantic drama sees Craig become infatuated with a younger man. In cinemas.
8) Challengers
Zendaya stars in a tennis movie involving a love triangle, friendship and competition. The thriller showcases the feelings of desire on the big screen set in the world of professional sport. Prime Video
7) A Different Man
A dark and hilarious satire about what it means to be attractive, inside and out. The black comedy follows a disfigured wannabe actor coming to terms with his new medically obtained heartthrob visage. Apple TV and other platforms
6) Hard Truths
The story follows grumpy Londoner Pansy Deacon while she cuts a miserable swath through every family member and stranger who crosses her path. A black comedy that eventually reveals what underpins Pansy’s behaviour – family trauma, and mental illness. In cinemas
5) Kneecap
The members of the Irish band Kneecap star in this dramatised version of their rise to fame in Belfast as they fight to preserve their native Irish language in between raving, women and dealings with the police. Fun and emotional. Amazon Prime and other platforms
4) Love Lies Bleeding
Kristen Steward and Katy O’Brian star in this pulpy, queer crime thriller. Lou falls in love with Jackie when she rolls into town for a bodybuilding competition. Sex, drugs and violence coupled with twists, turns and shocks along the way. Amazon Prime and other platforms
3) Poor Things
Emma Stone stars in this adaptation of Alasdair Gray’s cult classic novel. A strangely beautiful coming-of-age tale and a feminist reframing of the Frankenstein myth. Stone shines as a young woman who undertakes a journey of self-discovery after being resurrected by a mad scientist. Disney and other platforms
2) The Zone Of Interest
The film takes the viewers inside the home of Auschwitz camp commandant Rudolf Höss and his family, who lived a charmed life as a horrifying genocide took place next door. The film is chilling, immersive and upsetting. It won the Oscar for Best International Feature Film. Amazon Prime and other platforms
1) All Of Us Strangers

A romantic table of queer longing ad self-discovery whilst also a searing exploration of the blood-deep ties that bind parents and their children. Disney and other platforms
