SKEMERDANS
Standard Bank Young Artist Award winner for theatre Amy Jephta takes a solid dive into the world of television drama with this noirish, skillfully executed family drama set in the underbelly of Cape Town.

AMMONITE
Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan star in this elegantly crafted, evocative forbidden romance drama set on the coast of England in the 1840s. A well-known, if under-recognised coastal fossil hunter is faced with the unwelcome intrusion of a young woman sent to convalesce at the sea. She soon finds herself inextricably drawn to the newcomer as an intense, all-enveloping and ultimately dangerously illicit bond begins to develop between them.

WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS?
A group of cynical, proudly conscious Australian Millennials are the focus of this short, sharp, effective and funny comedy. It's a smart dissection of the contradictions at the heart of wokeness that's mostly on the side of its core trio, but doesn't shy away from cutting them down to size when they need to be.

SHADOW AND BONE
Based on the bestselling series of Grishaverse novels by Leigh Bardugo, this YA fantasy series delivers satisfying levels of unique world-building, fight sequences and just enough interesting characters and dedicated performances to make it worth sticking with even if it's a little slow to get going.
