Barbie (Apple TV - rent from £4.99)

Greta Gerwig's feminist take on the world's most famous doll has been an equally big hit with both critics and audiences - it's the highest grossing film of 2023 and has bagged an amazing 10 Golden Globe nominations. It sees Barbie and Ken's visit to the real world have unexpected consequences for Barbieland.

Oppenheimer (Amazon - rent from £15.99)

Cillian Murphy puts in a career-best performance as the scientist who invented the atomic bomb in Christopher Nolan's bleak biopic. Released on the same day as Barbie, it led to the Barbieheimer phenomenon, where film fans would watch both wildly different films on the same day.

Air (Prime Video)

The true story of how Nike transformed the trainers industry through a deal with basketball star Michael Jordan is the unlikely subject of this surprisingly fun film starring Matt Damon as pioneering market executive Sonny Vaccaro. Damon's longtime collaborator Ben Affleck directs, as well as playing the company's founder Phil Knight.

Past Lives (Amazon - rent from £3.49)

An incredibly assured debut from South Korean-Canadian director Celine Song, Past Lives tracks the relationship of childhood sweethearts who are forced apart by a family move, before being reunited in New York 12 years later. It's a beautiful film that investigates what happens when there can't be a fairytale ending - in this life anyway.

May December (Now Cinema)

Perhaps not one for the whole family, Julianne Moore plays a woman who has married and raised a family with the man she was found guilty of seducing at the age of just 13. Natalie Portman is the actress who is trying to get to the heart of her motivations for a television role in Todd Haynes' thorny, funny, and occasionally upsetting drama.
