Bottoms

In cinemas 3 November 2023

Bottoms buzz from critics and audiences across the Atlantic has been floating across to the UK, but we’ve been cursed for months by a lack of a UK release date. At last, the curse has ended: Bottoms will arrive in British cinemas on 3 November, bringing Rachel Sennott, Ayo Edebiri, Kaia Gerber and Nicholas Galitzine with it. The teen sex comedy follows two high school girls who set up a fight club as a way to hook up with cheerleaders.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Song Birds and Snakes

In cinemas 17 November 2023

Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games trilogy was a massive success, which ushered in a new era of young adult action films (think Divergent, The Maze Runner, The Mortal Instruments), especially those led by women. Collins’ 2020 prequel The Ballad of Song Birds and Snakes will transport us to the Capitol, where we follow a young Cornelius Snow (later President Snow). With a killer ensemble cast (Peter Dinklage, Viola Davis, Hunter Schafer), it’s sure to be one of the year’s hottest movie releases.

Emereld Fennell’s sophomore feature film, Saltburn, will open the BFI Film Festival in London this October, giving a first look into the scandalous flick starring Barry Keoghan and Jacob Elordi. Here’s everything we know so far.

Eileen

Based on Ottessa Moshfegh’s debut 2015 novel of the same name (though the author is perhaps best known for her 2018 follow up, My Year of Rest and Relaxation), Eileen debuted at Sundance in January, starring Thomasin McKenzie and Anne Hathaway. Transporting us back to 1960s New England, the film follows Eileen (McKenzie) working in a prison when a captivating counsellor arrives and helps her access new facets of her personality.

Scrutinising our modern world and centred on a trip to an Airbnb, the film follows a couple on holiday who are joined by another couple seeking refuge from a cyber attack.

Anyone But You

In cinemas 15 December 2023

Twitter is abuzz with chatter about Anyone But You, the upcoming rom-com starring Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney. Supposedly a modernization of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, the film is slated to follow college archnemeses who reunite years after graduation for a destination wedding and pretend to be a couple for their own personal reasons. But through pretending, they actually fall in love. With so many classic rom com tropes, could Anyone But You signal a much-anticipated rom com renaissance? Here’s hoping. Meanwhile, here are our favourite romantic films.
