There are a few new movies out, but which is a must-watch, and are there any you should avoid? We take a look.
Which one would you go see first?
The Killing of a Sacred Deer
What we know
Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos’s follow-up to The Lobster – again we get Colin Farrell, this time playing a surgeon who is befriended by a teenage boy who might just have something a bit sinister in store for him…
What the critics say
- “Lanthimos has excelled at bizarre violence and general off-ness before (including his English-language breakout The Lobster), but here he’s flexing his talent for genuine scares, and he turns out to be quite good at it.” – Vulture
- “Lanthimos’s new film is somehow even more macabre and unsettling than his previous efforts, and yet I also found myself laughing throughout.” – The Atlantic
What’s it rated?
- RottenTomatoes: 7.8/10
- IMDB: 8.0/10
Murder on the Orient Express
What we know
Kenneth Branagh’s take on the Agatha Christie classic stars a host of big stars (Penélope Cruz, Michelle Pfeiffer, Daisey Ridley, Willem Dafoe, Johnny Depp to name but a few), but does it do the book justice?

Conor McGregor: Notorious
What we know
He’s Conor McGregor, and he’s notorious. But will this film give us much of an insight beyond the bravado?
What the critics say
- “With so much to fit in, Notorious just feels like a montage. The distracting electronic score pulses throughout, thrusting the viewer from scene to scene with little regard for storytelling or character inspection.” – Den of Geek
- “If Notorious is to be believed, he also spends downtime telling staff, members of his family, passing officials and visiting film-makers how fantastic he is. Everyone gets to hear how fantastic he is. The film posits no great distinction between the private man and the public persona.” – The Irish Times
What’s it rated?
- RottenTomatoes: /10
- IMDB: 9.2/10
