1. Sentimental Value (Hulu)
A true actors showcase, Joachim Trier’s Oscar-nominated family drama features several of 2025’s best performances, including Stellan Skarsgård as an absentee filmmaker father, Renate Reinsve and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas as his neglected daughters and Elle Fanning as the movie star he tries to mold into their surrogate. It deals with heavy stuff, but it’s not without humour: make sure you’re up on Gaspar Noé’s Irreversible so you can get one of the year’s funniest blink-and-miss-it gags. Read Time Out’s review.

2. Resurrection (Criterion Channel)
Chinese director Bi Gan established himself as one of international arthouse cinema’s true visionaries with 2015’s Kaili Blues. His third feature is a psychedelic journey into a cinema-ravaged mind. In a future where humanity has gained immortality but lost the ability to dream, a man who still has his subconscious intact is captured and installed with a projector so that others may witness the movies that play in his sleep. What it lacks in narrative coherence it more than makes up for in some of the most awe-inspiring images conjured onscreen in recent years. Read Time Out’s review.

3. Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (Hulu)
No, it’s not an update of Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, though it does involve a love triangle of sorts. In this time-travelling action-comedy, Vince Vaughan is a hitman who travels back in time to right a few major wrongs involving his girlfriend (Eiza González) and partner (James Marsden). Early buzz has deemed it an extremely fun romp. Also, Stephen Root apparently shows up as a cannibal assassin. We’re in.

4. Primate (Paramount+)
A pet monkey contracts rabies and proceeds to go ape on its owners. That’s literally the entire plot, but director Johannes Roberts executes the B-movie premise with panache – and buckets of gore. It’s perfect brain-shutoff horror for a do-nothing, drink-a-lot Friday night. Read Time Out’s review.

5. Pretty Lethal (Prime)
The John Wick spinoff Ballerina may have disappointed, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t still an appetite in the zeitgeist for tutu-infused violence. In this tongue-in-cheek action-thriller, a ballet troupe ends up trapped in a gangster’s house, see something they shouldn’t, and have to aggressively pirouette their way through the night in order to survive. Uma Thurman employs a hilarious Hungarian accent as the apparent big bad.
