First up, the new all-female-made Aussie Netflix series everyone's about to binge: an adaptation of a beloved 125-year-old novel about a heroine who wants far more than marriage. One for the literary girlies.

Next, the rom-com with the wildest premise going: one everyday act, outlawed across the country, legal for just one night a year. From the director behind a recent smash, with a rising leading lady, a very British love interest, and a scene-stealing 80s icon. We reveal exactly what it does (and doesn't) deliver.

Finally, the big-screen adventure the whole cinema is screaming through. The premise? A suburban 80s street lands somewhere it very much shouldn't. Think Jurassic Park meets E.T., stakes through the roof, and dark comedy that'll have you crying laughing.
