Downton Abbey

The TV sensation that was Downton Abbey is back – this time as a feature-length film – to continue the story of the Crawley family and the servants who work at their sprawling country estate.

Hustlers

The 2008 financial crisis had a wide reaching effect on many industries, not least the sex industry. Hustlers tracks the story of a group of strippers, led by veteran Ramona (played by Jennifer Lopez)and single mother Destiny (Constance Wu), as they flip the tables on their clients on Wall Street who “stole from everybody” and got away with it. Based on a 2015 New York magazine article, Hustlers is proving to be a much-anticipated watch.
In cinemas October 10.

New Zealanders trend of punching above our weight continues with Jojo Rabbit, with our fave Kiwi talent, Taika Waititi, both directing and starring in this WWII-set black comedy-drama. After discovering that his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl in their attic, a German boy has to confront his own worldview with the help of his imaginary friend, a half-witted Hitler (played by Waititi). With a series of hit movies already under to his name, we can only assume this latest release from the Kiwi director will be another must-see.
