I Saw the TV Glow (Netflix, May 13)<\/p>\n
I Saw the TV Glow writer-director Jane Schoenbrun brings together themes of \u201cfandom, pop culture obsession and trans identity<\/a>\u201d in this soon-to-be cult classic. Starring Justice Smith and Jack Haven as isolated teenagers Owen and Maddy, the two bond and obsess over The Pink Opaque, a Buffy the Vampire Slayer-esque TV show that leads them to question their reality and identities. This dream-like horror-fantasy, described as a \u201cgnawing search for belonging in the static spaces between analog pixels<\/a>,\u201d is one-of-a-kind.<\/p>\n The Audacity (Neon, May 13)<\/p>\n Created by Better Call Saul and Succession producer Jonathan Glatzer this dark-comedy follows Billy Magnussen as Duncan Park, a Muskian tech bro in Silicon Valley who is on the verge of a mental breakdown. With his data-mining firm Hypergnosis about to collapse, he blackmails his performance psychologist (Sarah Goldberg) into participating in a chaotic flurry of white-collar crime. Labelled as \u201ca stinging portrait of an industry under siege by its own pioneers\u2019 grand visions of who they are<\/a>,\u201d The Audacity is sure to be excruciatingly relevant.<\/p>\n No Other Choice (AroVision, May 13)<\/p>\n In this latest outing from Park Chan-wook, one of contemporary cinema\u2019s most influential directors, Squid Game star Lee Byung-hun plays a family man abruptly dismissed from his job at a paper company after twenty-five years of loyal service. Premiering at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival to critical acclaim, the film follows the unemployed Man-su as he kills off those competing for the new job he\u2019s applying for in a\u00a0\u201cpitch-black comedy that sometimes plays like a vicious episode of Looney Tunes<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0Despite being snubbed by the Oscars, this \u201cbrilliant, bloody, and bleakly hilarious<\/a>\u201d film is a must-watch.<\/p>\n Off Campus (Prime Video, May 13)<\/p>\n Based on the hit book series by Elle Kennedy, Off-Campus explores the love story between a shy student songwriter Ella Bright (Hannah Wells) and a university\u2019s star hockey player Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli). \u201cDrawing inspiration from John Hughes\u2019 1980s coming-of-age classics and the sharp wit of \u201990s teen rom-coms like 10 Things I Hate About You<\/a>,\u201d Off Campus is tailor-made for lovers of binge-worthy soaps and hockey-based romance.<\/p>\n The Testament of Ann Lee (Disney+, May 13)<\/p>\n From Mona Fastvold, the Oscar-nominated co-writer of The Brutalist, comes The Testament of Ann Lee, a \u201cone-of-a-kind cinematic experience<\/a>.\u201d Shot on glorious 70mm and featuring Amanda Seyfried in \u201cthe best performance of her career<\/a>,\u201d the\u00a0 musical-biopic depicts Seyfried the founding leader of the Shakers. Also starring Lewis Pullman, Christopher Abbott, and New Zealander Thomasin McKenzie,<\/a> the \u201cfull-blown song-and-dance affair<\/a>\u201d takes lyrics from traditional Shaker hymns and reimagines them as rapturous\u202fmovements. The Testament of Ann Lee isn\u2019t for everyone, but take a chance and you\u2019ll be richly rewarded.<\/p>\n Pick of the Flicks: Corsage (M\u0100ORI+, May 15)<\/p>\n Corsage features Phantom Thread\u2019s Vicky Krieps as Empress Elisabeth of Austria, a woman \u201ccaught between the expectations of her culture and her own desires<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0Directed by Marie Kreutzer, the \u201cstately psychodrama<\/a>\u201d is set in the 1870s and has been hailed as \u201ca masterful and melancholy meditation on loneliness with a sucker punch of an ending<\/a>.\u201d Lavish and transfixing, Corsage is\u00a0sure to be a royal flush.<\/p>\n The rest<\/p>\n TVNZ+<\/p>\n You, Me & Aussie (May 11)<\/p>\n BNZ Business Breakfast (May 11)<\/p>\n Ride Along (May 11)<\/p>\n Ride Along 2 (May 11)<\/p>\n Atomic Blonde (May 12)\u00a0<\/p>\n School Spirits S3 (May 13)\u00a0<\/p>\n Ready Gamer Mum (May 14)<\/p>\n Meet the Parents (May 14)\u00a0<\/p>\n Impossible Builds S2 (May 15)<\/p>\n The Matrix (May 15)<\/p>\n The Matrix Reloaded (May 15)\u00a0<\/p>\n 400 Weddings and a Funeral (May 16)<\/p>\n One Hundred and Thirteen (May 16)<\/p>\n Battle Los Angeles (May 16)<\/p>\n Shrek Forever After (May 17)<\/p>\n Central Intelligence (May 17)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Natural Born Killer (May 17)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Spin City S1-S6 (May 17)\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n M\u0100ORI+<\/p>\n Hillary: From Ocean to Sky (May 11)<\/p>\n Monster (May 15)<\/p>\n Corsage (May 15)<\/p>\n Manou the Swift (May 16)<\/p>\n Sliding Doors (May 16)<\/p>\n Lucky Grandma (May 17)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Netflix<\/p>\n Pop Culture Jeopardy!
