Nope

Oscar-winning filmmaker Jordan Peele reimagines the summer movie with Nope, an expansive pop epic of uncanny science fiction. Following their father’s shocking death, Hollywood animal wrangler OJ (Daniel Kaluuya) and his sister Emerald (Keke Palmer) begin observing unexplained phenomena on their vast Southern California ranch that leads them down an obsessive rabbit hole as they plot attempts to capture the mystery on camera.

Along with a former child star turned family theme park ringmaster (Steven Yeun) who neighbors the siblings, the pair’s efforts to chase the spectacle soon bring terrifying consequences and unimaginable horror. The result is a complex social thriller that unpacks the seeds of violence, risk and opportunism that are inseparable from the romanticised history of the American West and from show business itself.

Nope is streaming on Sky Cinema with Now.

Based on the best-selling book, Blueback follows Abby (Ariel Donoghue), a child who befriends a magnificent wild blue groper while diving. When Abby realises that the fish is under threat, she takes inspiration from her activist Mum, Dora (Radha Mitchell), and takes on poachers to save her friend.

My Neighbour Adolf

In South America, 1960, a lonely and grumpy Holocaust survivor (David Hayman) convinces himself that his new neighbor (Udo Kier) is none other than Adolf Hitler.
