Fancy immersing yourself in a bit of cinema? With a number of great releases scheduled, there’s no better time.
From The Son, featuring Hugh Jackman as a top New York lawyer who’s thrown into his own personal battle, to YouTube’s very own Marcel The Shell With Shoes On, there’s something for everyone – whatever genre it is that tickles your fancy.
Read on to find out what other films are available to watch this week.
Sharper
Sharper stars Julianne Moore (Picture: Apple TV+)
Cons get complicated in this intriguing but implausible New York thriller. We meet various characters (including a great Julianne Moore) in episodic chapters. All their fates intertwine in Manhattan penthouses.
15. Out Friday on Apple TV+
The Son
Hugh Jackman and Zen McGrath play father and son in errr… The Son (Picture: LMKMEDIA)
Hugh Jackman excels as a top Manhattan lawyer, whose new baby bliss with his younger, second wife (Vanessa Kirby, excellent) is interrupted when his troubled teen son Nicholas (Zen McGrath) moves in. The borderline sadistic ending is emotionally pulverising.
