Inspiring and often hilarious, the premise of Brittany Runs a Marathon can seem overdone – after all, it follows someone who is struggling to overcome the odds and achieve success.

Timothée Chalamet and Steve Carell both deliver mesmerising performances in this inspiring tale of addiction, survival, recovery and relapse.

Thirteen Lives is suspenseful even if you already know the outcome of the story, managing to grip you throughout. It's also quite inspiring.

While there might be nostalgia vibes for its throwback 90s legal drama feel, The Burial is crowd-pleasing and funny. Plus, the epic performances of Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones are a sight to behold.

Goodnight Mommy is a dark psychological thriller rich in atmosphere, one that might give you the creeps. If you're looking for an unsettling watch, you're in the right place.
