Directed by Dani Girdwood and Charlotte Fassler, Prime Video’s romantic thriller film, My Fault: London is the remake of the Spanish drama, Culpa Mía, which is based on the novel series. The idea of the romantic drama germinated as a Wattpad story. With complicated characters populating the tight plot, My Fault: London is expected to grab enough attention over 2025 Valentine’s week.

Asha Banks as Noah

Young, impulsive, and unpredictable—these three words accurately capture Noah’s energy in My Fault: London. Noah’s character is brought to life by the 21-year-old English actress, Asha Alice Banks. After a successful tryst with the English stage since her early childhood, Asha’s foray into films occurred with the German musical film The Magic Flute, directed by Florian Sigl.

As they try to survive an onslaught of dangerous new foes and familiar faces alike, including the murderous clown Sweet Tooth, things get complicated for John when he reunites with his long-lost sister, the vigilante Dollface.

“The stakes couldn’t be higher as John Doe (Anthony Mackie) and Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz) risk their lives to compete in a dangerous demolition derby tournament,...

Do you feel like crying big baby tears at any point in the near future? If the answer to that question is "yes," you should probably queue up "We Live in Time," the weepy new film from director John Crowley that stars Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield.

Crowley — known for another critically beloved tearjerker, 2015's "Brooklyn" — brought two of the Internet's favorite celebrities on board for this touching non-linear love story, which casts Pugh as figure skater turned professional chef Almut Brühl and Garfield as cereal representative Tobias Durand. After Almut accidentally hits Tobias with her car just as he prepares to sign divorce papers for his first marriage, the two strike up an unexpected connection, despite Almut's initial resistance to enter into a relationship and unwillingness to discuss the possibility of having children. Ultimately, Almut reveals that she suffers from ovarian cancer, which could impact her ability to have children; after she receives surgery,...

A catch-all phrase popularized over a decade ago by Meta (formerly Facebook), “It’s complicated,” meant to describe romantic relationships that didn’t fall into one particular category or another, finds its clearest, nearest, and obviously it’s most recent application in director Rachael Abigail Holder’s sweetly optimistic, sharply insightful, emotionally resonant feature-length debut, Love, Brooklyn. Love, Brooklyn centers on a trio of 30-something Black Brooklynites, Roger (André Holland), a perpetually procrastinating magazine writer; Casey (Nicole Beharie), an art gallery owner and Roger’s ex; and Nicole (DeWanda Wise), the new woman and possibly long-term partner in Roger’s life. Roger faces an all-important deadline on a major essay on Brooklyn, past, present, and future. Despite the financial success of her art gallery, Casey...

The U.K. and Ireland box office kicked off 2025 with a robust £94.1 million ($116.6 million) in January, marking a 10% increase from January 2024’s £85.2 million ($105.6 million) and a 12% rise from January 2023, according to numbers from Comscore.

Robert Eggers’ “Nosferatu” led the month’s releases, haunting its way to $15.6 million, establishing itself as the sixth-highest-grossing horror film of all time in the region. The reimagining of the classic vampire tale surpassed “A Quiet Place” ($15.1 million) and is closing in on “The Final Destination” ($15.9 million).

Disney maintained its market dominance with a 30.8% share in January, claiming the next two spots on the chart. “Mufasa: The Lion King” roared to second place with $15 million for the month, bringing its total to $36.7 million, surpassing “The Little Mermaid’s” lifetime gross of $34 million.

James Mangold’s Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown” struck a chord at No. 3 with $11.3 million, becoming the director’s sixth-highest-grossing film in the territory,...

Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield star in this sweeping romance about love, time, and the moments that define us.

I’m more of a rom-com guy, but I can always get on board for a straight romance – and that’s what A24 is delivering in their new feature, “We Live in Time.” The film brings together Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield in a romance that unfolds across the years, capturing the highs, the heartbreak, and the fleeting nature of time. Directed by John Crowley (“Brooklyn”), the film follows Almut (Pugh) and Tobias (Garfield) as a chance encounter sparks a love story filled with unexpected turns. As they build a life together - falling in love, creating a home, and facing life’s ups and downs - forces beyond their control shape their journey. “We Live in Time” makes its streaming debut on Max on Friday, Feb. 7, before premiering on HBO on Saturday,...

In Love, Brooklyn, Rachael Abigail Holder explores hesitation, desire, and stagnation against Brooklyn’s changing landscape. The protagonist, Roger, played by André Holland, exists between his past with Casey and a potential future with Nicole, a single mother sharing his emotional complexity.

Through late-night encounters and bike rides across empty streets, Roger’s relationships reveal his internal conflict: the tension between remembrance and necessary transformation.

The film’s narrative explores the quiet emotional state of a city emerging from isolation, reflecting the characters’ personal challenges. The urban environment becomes a metaphor for personal transition—both challenging and inevitable.

Roger, Casey, and Nicole are connected by unresolved emotions, struggling to progress while clinging to familiar pain. Their journey represents survival in a shifting world that demands adaptation despite deep-rooted hesitations. The city emerges as a dynamic entity, continuously pulling characters toward an uncertain future they resist yet cannot escape.

The Quiet...

Max makes up for its absence of attention-grabbing original movies this month with a new, impressive assortment of bona fide film classics that will keep you entertained throughout the second month of the year. The streaming platform’s lineup of February film additions includes a handful of thrilling blockbusters, a few underrated and oft-forgotten titles and two of the best efforts from two of America’s finest directors.

Here are TheWrap’s picks for the best new movies streaming on Max in February.

“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” (Sony Pictures Classics) “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” (2000)

Director Ang Lee‘s “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” is a balletic epic of clashing swords, thrown fists and untaken roads. The Oscar-winning drama follows the prideful young daughter of a powerful governor (Zhang Ziyi) as she bucks against the prearranged structure of her life by stealing a legendary sword long held by Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun-fat...

You can feel the warm breeze filtering through Love, Brooklyn, a gentle, dream-like summer movie that often teeters on the edge of reality. Rachael Abigail Holder’s debut feature, written by Paul Zimmerman, doesn’t necessarily drift in and out of abstract fantasy, but her vision of this rapidly evolving borough sometimes looks like it belongs to an alternate dimension. The night streets, the parks, and the bars are all practically empty. The Fort Greene and Bed-Stuy neighborhoods look pristine, uncluttered, undefined. And everyone involved in this triangular romantic drama has a vague vocation that allows them an altogether luxurious lifestyle. Everything is a little too good to be true.

That starts with Roger (André Holland), a writer struggling to type out an essay he’s been assigned about the gentrification and evolution of Brooklyn. It’s a ripe subject, and Zimmerman uses the idea as a thematic backdrop for his script.

My final dispatch for Sundance 2025 is bolstered by finally having access to a large swath of films from the festival that were only made available for folks covering it remotely on Wednesday. Among those films were most of the U.S. Dramatic Competition lineup. Of that selection, the lovely anthology...

Exclusive: HanWay Films has expanded its classics library after being appointed to represent The Cohen Film Collection.

The library of Cohen Media Group’s founder, Charles S. Cohen, comprises more than one hundred restored classic titles spanning from the silent era to the present day, including The Buster Keaton Collection and The Merchant Ivory Collection.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed and Cohen Media Group is the owner of HanWay, having acquired the company in 2022.

Late last year Charles Cohen’s media group hit choppy waters when the company was forced to sell multiple assets including British arthouse exhibitor and distributor Curzon to Fortress Investment Group. The company was acquired in a foreclosure auction involving multiple Cohen assets, including the Landmark cinema chain. Fortress had lent Cohen $534M but sued him last year for default. Cohen acquired Curzon in late 2019 amid a buying spree by the U.S. real estate developer.

It's already been quite the year on Netflix, and we're barely one full month into 2025. The streaming service has enjoyed new hits like American Primeval and Missing You, returning favorites like The Night Agent, and hot acquisitions like Younger. If you haven't found something to binge-watch on Netflix so far in 2025, you haven't been looking in the right places!

Netflix continues to give the goods in February 2025 with plenty more TV shows being added throughout the month — and we're not even talking about the streamer's original series. From throwbacks to recent fan-favorites, there are so much binge-worthy titles coming to Netflix in February. But there's also a couple that are leaving. Find out what should be on your watch list.

In director Rachael Holder’s feature debut, she uses the evolving streets of Brooklyn as the backdrop for a tender love letter to the borough about letting go.

Written by Paul Zimmerman, Love, Brooklyn stars André Holland as Roger, a writer struggling to find the words to describe the city he once knew so well. As he juggles his friendship with ex Casey (Nicole Beharie) and his blossoming situationship with single mother Nicole (DeWanda Wise), Roger is faced with multiple paths at a trying time in his life.

While the film moves at a gradual pace, building the characters’ relationships and motivations, it’s quickly apparent that each of these three Brooklynites are struggling to move on from something in their life. During a museum visit, art curator Casey references the Greek myth of Lot turning into a pillar of salt after looking back at her husband. Meanwhile, she references...

Hollywood is heading up the mountain for what’s possibly one of the final Sundance Film Festivals to be held in the posh ski-resort town of Park City. It’s a place that’s hosted its fair share of all-night bidding wars, where films ranging from “Reservoir Dogs” and “Napoleon Dynamite” to “Brooklyn” and “The Big Sick” landed massive deals before going on to box office, and in some cases, Oscar glory. But it’s also been the setting of some frenzied sales that didn’t always pay off, like “Happy, Texas”or “Blinded by the Light.”

Sundance has already announced the festival is considering decamping Utah for Ohio or Colorado in 2027. Even if it does stay in the state, the focus of the festival will shift to Salt Lake City, which is better positioned than Park City to host the crowds that the celebration of movies attracts. So will...

Moving a week later in the calendar this year, the Sundance Film Festival kicks off this Thursday and runs through February 2, offering a first glimpse at the year in cinema with (once again) a mix of in-person and virtual offerings. While the annual festival has its fair share of returning filmmakers, it is certainly most renowned as a beacon of discovery, and we look forward to providing extensive coverage that one can follow via our daily newsletter.

Before the festival begins and our reviews arrive, we’re highlighting the premieres that should be on your radar––a few of which we’ve already had the opportunity to see. If you’re interested in experiencing Sundance in person or from afar, one can see available tickets here ahead of Thursday’s in-person opening and an online viewing window that kicks off January 30.

The BAFTA 2025 nominations have left fans and critics baffled as several amazing performances were snubbed.

The official Oscar nominees for the Best Actress award will be announced on January 17, 2025.

Veteran drama actresses like Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman will be up against youngsters like Mikey Madison and Zendaya in the voting process for nominations.

Dublin-based post-production house Windmill Lane Pictures is to close with immediate effect, citing the impact of the 2023 writers’ and actors’ strike in the US and the “erosion of competitiveness” of Ireland’s VFX tax credit.

Windmill Lane was founded as a recording studio and TV commercial post-production facility in 1978, with James Morris, who later set up Irish TV channel TV3, among its founders. In 1990, the recording studio and post-production house was divided and the recording studios, used by artists including U2, remains in operation.

It’s that time of year again. While some directors annually share their favorite films of the year, Steven Soderbergh lists everything he consumed, media-wise. For 2024––another year in which he not only premiered a new film, but shot another and is prepping another to begin production shortly––he still got plenty of watching in.

Along with catching up on 2024’s new releases, he took in plenty of classics, including Opening Night, Jaws, Casablanca, All About Eve, The Conversation, Alien, and nine viewings of various Star Wars films. He also got an early look at Andrew Patterson’s The Rivals of Amziah King and after beginning production on Black Bag on May 7, he had a first cut on June 23.

Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan may both have two films each vying for awards contention this year in Chalamet’s “A Complete Unknown” and “Dune: Part Two” and Ronan’s “The Outrun” and “Blitz,” but the pair took the time to reunite in London to discuss two films they appeared in together at the earlier stages of their careers.

In a special event hosted by the British Film Institute and Vanity Fair at the BFI Southbank on Wednesday evening, Chalamet and Ronan reflected on making 2017’s “Lady Bird” and 2019’s “Little Women,” both from a pre-“Barbie” writer/director Greta Gerwig.

While the two hadn’t me prior to “Lady Bird,” Chalamet recalled being told about Ronan by Emery Cohen, who had worked with her on the 2016 hit “Brooklyn.”

“I kept hearing this name ‘Saoirse, Saoirse’ and didn’t put two and two together when I saw the name spelled out,...

Brooklyn, Lost in Translation, East is East, My Beautiful Laundrette, and House of Sand and Fog are some of the films that discuss the struggle that comes from migrating to a new country and adjusting to that lifestyle. Maple Leaf Dreams is a story of a couple that moves to Canada but faces many hardships in their pursuit of a good lifestyle.

How did Molly and Macky meet?

Molly had been dreaming of moving to Canada for a while. Initially she wanted to do a caregiver’s course in the hope it would land her a job in Canada and she could pursue her life from then on. Molly met Macky at a favorite restaurant of hers, Manang Dinakdakan, and they shared a meal together and introduced themselves to each other. A year later, Macky was working in the same city as Molly.

The last time Jesse Malin performed in New York, in March 2023, he jumped off the stage at Webster Hall, waded through the crowd, and ended up singing atop the bar at the rear of the venue in a punk-rock display of sweaty artist-fan communion. Malin’s sold-out performance Sunday night at the Beacon Theatre — his first public concert since suffering a paralyzing spinal stroke last year — looked a little different than past gigs but bristled with that same punk spirit and sense of community.

Bad Apples is an upcoming comedy-thriller directed by Jonathan Etzler in his English-language debut. Written by Jess O’Kane, the film is adapted from Rasmus Andersson’s debut novel De Oönskade. The cast features Saoirse Ronan and Jacob Anderson.

The film tells the story of Maria, a dedicated primary school teacher striving to inspire her class of 10-year-olds. However, her efforts are derailed by one particularly unruly and disruptive student. As the child’s behavior escalates and her career hangs in the balance, Maria makes a string of poor choices that culminate in her accidentally taking the troublesome student and locking them in her home.

Maria scrambles to undo her actions, but when the class begins to thrive and both the staff and parents express their delight at the remarkable improvement, she finds herself caught in an increasingly tricky predicament.

Ronan gained widespread recognition with her breakout role as a sharp-witted...

Strength comes in different forms, and two new films with Irish actress Saoirse Ronan tell the tale. In Steve McQueen’s high-octane World War II drama “Blitz,” set in an embattled London, Ronan is Rita, a single mother searching for her young son who’s disappeared from a train ostensibly taking children to safety in the British countryside. As bombs fall and subway stations flood, Rita is just about the fiercest thing in London, abandoning the bomb factory where she works to find her boy at all costs.

In Nora Fingscheidt’s “The Outrun,” on the other hand, her character of Rona is an alcoholic who summons up the power to fight her demons by turning to the solitude of a remote island off the coast of Scotland.

“I’m delighted that they’ve come out when they have, especially because I have been away for a while,” said Ronan,...

Apple's historical war drama film Blitz has an impressive cast led by 4-time Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan. Blitz follows the story of a mother and son searching for each other in war-torn London. Written and directed by Steve McQueen, Blitz has received mostly positive reviews after it had its world premiere as the opening film at the BFI London Film Festival on October 9, 2024. The film was released in select theaters on November 1, 2024 and received an exclusive streaming release on Apple TV+ on November 22, 2024. Blitz currently has a Certified Fresh Rotten Tomatoes critic score of 81%.

Blitz is already considered one of Saoirse Ronan's best movies.

Blitz marks the feature film debut of rising British actor Elliott Heffernan, who was discovered in a...

The Mubi production, Bring Them Down, starring Oscar nominee Barry Keoghan and Christopher Abbott, is hitting theaters on Feb. 7, 2025.

Pic directed by Christopher Andrews, who is making his feature directing debut, follows Michael (Abbott) who is the last son of a farming family, and lives an isolated existence with his ailing, cantankerous father Ray. Burdened by a terrible secret from his past, Michael has isolated himself from the world and dedicates himself to his prized flock. When the ongoing conflict with rival farmer Gary and his wayward and unpredictable son Jack (Barry Keoghan) stirs old tensions and grievances, it triggers a chain of events that take increasingly violent and devastating turns, leaving both families permanently altered.

The movie also stars Colm Meaney (The Problem with People, Layer Cake), Nora-Jane Noone (The Magdalene Sisters, Brooklyn) Paul Ready and Susan Lynch (Enduring Love, Waking Ned Davine).

Bring Them Down...

Saoirse Ronan is having a moment. Which is not necessarily a new experience, given she has four Oscar nominations to her credit. Now 30, the Irish-born actress first made the Academy cut at 14 for her supporting role in Atonement, which she followed with leading roles in Brooklyn, Ladybird and Little Women. But this year, playing a single mother in Steve McQueen’s London wartime drama Blitz, and a woman fighting her demons in Nora Fingscheidt’s addiction story The Outrun — Ronan’s first project as a producer — the goalposts for what she can achieve have been widened.

Deadline: At this stage of your career, when you’re thinking about what you want to do next, do you choose in terms of personal challenge or people you want to work with?

Saoirese Ronan: I would say it’s both of those things. It’s become more about the type of filmmakers I want to work with,...

Kenya Moore has been doing the press rounds lately, but instead of promoting her hair care line or The Real Housewives of Atlanta, a reality show she has been a major part of for 12 seasons, most of these recent appearances have included her adorable mini-me, Brooklyn Daly, Kenya's six-year-old daughter. Kenya and Brooklyn were "twinning" in identical outfits when they stopped by Tamron Hall's popular daytime show to promote Brooklyn's new children's book, Brooklyn Bound: Paris. Kenya and Brooklyn have started a series of books celebrating their mother/daughter's travels around the world. Before the family friendly segment with Brooklyn, Kenya gave Tamron an exclusive, as she spoke for the first time about the chain of events that led to her suspension from Rhoa, and where she stands with Bravo.

The Irish author on how the sequel to his bestselling novel Brooklyn was inspired by the film, life in LA, and his thoughts on Trump’s victory

Born in 1955, Colm Tóibín has written short stories, poetry, plays, essays and even opera libretti. He remains best known as a novelist, garnering laurels including the International Dublin literary award and the David Cohen prize for literature, and being praised for his sheer range as well as a near-magical ability to capture all that goes unsaid in life. His greatest commercial success to date is Brooklyn (2009), which follows Eilis Lacey as she leaves her home town – and Tóibín’s own – of Enniscorthy, County Wexford, for greater opportunities in the US. It later became a film starring Saoirse Ronan. His 11th novel, Long Island, is the sequel he swore he’d never write, catching up with Eilis two decades on. Tóibín divides his time...

Saoirse Ronan has spent much of her youth racking up Oscar nominations, scoring her first bid when she was 13 and her fourth when she was 25. Take a look back at 12 of her greatest films, ranked worst to best.

The Irish actress’ career has been packed with angsty yet relatable roles for young women in films like Lady Bird, Little Women and Brooklyn. Before turning 30, she received four Oscar nominations. Ronan recently spoke with Elle and revealed what it was like to play Rona, a complex character, who’s struggling to get sober in The Outrun.

“I was so ready for it. I felt confident enough in my ability, but also confident enough in who I was,” she said. “I didn’t feel like I was being held down by a need to only play likable people.”

Ronan recalled seeing traits in other characters onscreen that helped her draw inspiration. “I really responded to Lena Dunham’s characters in Girls, who are arseholes sometimes, but we’ve all got the capability for that.
