George Clooney movies used to be a dime a dozen, but these days he only pops up on screen every few years. In this satire from Noah Baumbach, Clooney plays the titular lead, a movie star who is recognised everywhere he goes. But what has that fame cost him? Probably only Clooney and his co-star Adam Sandler can really answer that question. The critics? Well, they were divided after the film’s Venice premiere. November 20 (Netflix, December 5)
Wicked: For Good
If 160 minutes of Wicked in 2024 wasn’t enough, there is a whole other movie coming. Part two – Wicked: For Good – picks up with Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) on the run, while Glinda (Ariana Grande) appears to be a patsy for the Wizard (Jeff Goldblum, doing the least). Will it be a happy ending for our witchy besties? The clue is in the title. November 20
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
This looks absolutely delicious! Our intrepid private detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) returns for a third time, this time on the case of a priest who was found dead in a sealed room (“a murder dressed as a miracle,” says our dapper hero). Despite an all-star cast, it’s Josh O’Conner, playing a young priest seeking his salvation, who has attracted all the attention. November 27 (Netflix, December 12)
