The Latch Selections: The Best and Most Anticipated Movies of 2024

19 hours ago

In 2023, Hollywood was defined by the cultural phenomenon that was Barbenheimer, and Barbie and Oppenheimer continued to dominate the conversation through award season 2024. With the 2024 Academy Awards now behind us, and with the Cannes Film Festival right around the corner, it’s time to turn our attention to the best movies of 2024.

The beginning of the year in Australia usually means that we finally get to see the last few Oscar contenders of the year, and this year was no different. We kicked off the best movies of 2024 with hot titles like Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers and May December hitting cinemas, and we were off to a great start for the cinematic year.

After saying goodbye to summer, we’re now seeing the release of films like Dune: Part Two, Challengers, and Force of Nature: The Dry 2, which were pushed back by the writer and actor strikes in 2023. We’ve also seen the release of some great indie films, like The Iron Claw, Love Lies Bleeding and Monkey Man this year, and the release of Civil War has marked A24’s biggest cinematic release to date.

Of course, it’s still only April, and that means there are still plenty of great films on the horizon in 2024, including Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Gladiator 2, and Sundance darling A Real Pain, which will mark Kieran Culkin’s first role since Succession ended.

Without further ado, here are the best movies of 2024 so far, and the most hotly anticipated films that are still to come this year.

The Best Movies of 2024

All of Us Strangers

Directed by: Andrew Haigh
Written by: Andrew Haigh, based on the novel by Taichi Yamada
Starring: Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Carter John Grout
Synopsis: A screenwriter drawn back to his childhood home enters into a fledgling relationship with a mysterious neighbour as he then discovers his parents appear to be living just as they were on the day they died, 30 years before.
Where to watch: Streaming on Disney+

Adapted from Taichi Yamada’s Strangers, All of Us Strangers is a striking, haunting, and deeply moving film about love, grief, loneliness, and the nature of the human condition. Make sure you’ve got tissues handy — when I caught this at the Adelaide Film Festival in October last year, the whole cinema was audibly sniffling.

Anatomy of a Fall

Directed by: Justine Triet
Written by: Justine Triet and Arthur Harari
Starring: Sandra Hüller, Swann Arlaud, Milo Machado Graner
Synopsis: A woman is suspected of her husband’s murder, and their blind son faces a moral dilemma as the main witness.
Oscar wins: Best Original Screenplay
Where to watch: Rent on Prime Video

A gripping and tense courtroom drama, Anatomy of a Fall features star performances from its cast, from Best Actress nominee Sandra Hüller to the entire supporting cast — human or not. Surely if there was an Oscar for best animal performance, there’s no question it would go to Messi, the border collie who plays Snoop in the film.

Challengers

Directed by: Luca Guadagnino
Written by: Justin Kuritzkes
Starring: Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, Mike Faist
Synopsis: Follows three players who knew each other when they were teenagers as they compete in a tennis tournament to be the world-famous grand slam winner, and reignite old rivalries on and off the court.
Australian release date: In cinemas now. Buy tickets here.

With a tight, smart script and star-making performances from stars Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist, Challengers is set to become one of the hottest films of 2024. It’s got an enticing love triangle, flashy tennis sequences, and plot twists that will keep you guessing, this is a film you won’t want to miss.

Civil War

Directed by: Alex Garland
Written by: Alex Garland
Starring: Kirsten Dunst, Cailee Spaeny, Jesse Plemons, Nick Offerman
Synopsis: In the near future, a team of journalists travel across the United States during a rapidly escalating civil war that has engulfed the entire nation.
Where to watch: In cinemas now. Buy tickets here.

One of the more stressful cinematic experiences I’ve had recently, I jumped out of my seat on three separate occasions while watching this. The film is gripping, gruelling, and grim to watch, but Kirsten Dunst is fantastic, and whether you like it or not, Civil War is sure to linger in your mind long after you’ve left the theatre.

The Color Purple

Directed by: Blitz Bazawule
Written by: Marcus Gardley, based on the novel by Alice Walker and the musical stage play by Marsha Norman
Starring: Fantasia Barrino, Taraji P. Henson, Danielle Brooks
Synopsis: A decades-spanning tale of love and resilience and of one woman’s journey to independence. Celie faces many hardships in her life, but ultimately finds extraordinary strength and hope in the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood.
Oscar nominations: Best Supporting Actress (Danielle Brooks)
Where to watch: Rent on Prime Video

One of the year’s secret musicals, The Color Purple is the film adaptation of the Broadway production of Alice Walker’s novel. While the film itself has been met with mixed reviews, critics have been unanimous in their praise for Best Supporting Actress nominee Danielle Brooks’ performance

Dream Scenario

Directed by: Kristoffer Borgli
Written by: Kristoffer Borgli
Starring: Lily Bird, Nicolas Cage, Julianne Nicholson
Synopsis: A hapless family man finds his life turned upside down when millions of strangers suddenly start seeing him in their dreams. When his nighttime appearances take a nightmarish turn, Paul is forced to navigate his newfound stardom.
Where to watch: Rent on Prime Video

If you enjoyed Nicolas Cage in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, you’ll likely enjoy Dream Scenario as well. Cage is on point once again in this absurdist horror/satire that takes on cancel culture and celebrity worship — without becoming exhausting.

Dune: Part Two

Directed by: Denis Villeneuve
Written by: Denis Villeneuve and Jon Spaihts, based on the novel by Frank Herbert
Starring: Florence Pugh, Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson
Synopsis: Paul Atreides unites with Chani and the Fremen while seeking revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family.
Where to watch: In cinemas now. Buy tickets here, or rent on Prime Video

After being delayed for release by last year’s Hollywood strikes, Dune: Part Two has proven itself to be well worth the wait. A visually stunning, technical masterpiece, Dune is the kind of film that deserves to be seen on the big screen, where it can be fully appreciated for all its accomplishments.

The Fall Guy

Directed by: David Leitch
Written by: Drew Pearce, based on the television series created by Glen A. Larson
Starring: Ryan Gosling, Hannah Waddingham, Emily Blunt
Synopsis: Colt Seavers is a stuntman who left the business a year earlier to focus on both his physical and mental health. He’s drafted back into service when the star of a mega-budget studio movie, which is being directed by his ex, goes missing.
Australian release date: In cinemas now. Buy tickets here.

A high octane, high quality action comedy starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt? Sign us up! The Fall Guy is smart, funny, and a whole lot of fun. Beyond that, it will also leave you with a new level of respect for the stunt people who pull off the death-defying action sequences we love to see on the big screen.

Ferrari

Directed by: Michael Mann
Written by: Troy Kennedy Martin, based on the book Enzo Ferrari: The Man, the Cars, the Races, the Machine by Brock Yates
Starring: Adam Driver, Shailene Woodley, Giuseppe Festinese
Synopsis: Set in the summer of 1957, with Enzo Ferrari’s auto empire in crisis, the ex-racer turned entrepreneur pushes himself and his drivers to the edge as they launch into the Mille Miglia, a treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy.
Where to watch: Streaming on Paramount+

Michael Mann is an acclaimed director, and for good reason. Now, he’s back with Ferrari, an exploration of the man behind one of the most iconic car manufacturers of all time. Anchored by excellent performances from Adam Driver and Shailene Woodley, Ferrari is able to switch lanes with ease, as it explores elements of sports, business and family dramas.

The Holdovers

Directed by: Alexander Payne
Written by: David Hemingson
Starring: Paul Giamatti, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Dominic Sessa
Synopsis: A cranky history teacher at a remote prep school is forced to remain on campus over the holidays with a troubled student who has no place to go.
Where to watch: Rent on Prime Video

It’s been two decades since Paul Giamatti was snubbed for an Oscar nomination for his work in Sideways, Alexander Payne’s 2004 comedy that single-handedly tanked the entire merlot industry. Now, Payne and Giamatti are back with The Holdovers, and the Academy took the opportunity to (somewhat) atone for its sins by giving Giamatti the nomination he deserved.

While Giamatti didn’t take home the Oscar in the end, his co-star Da’Vine Joy Randolph won Best Supporting Actress for her work as Mary Lamb. Beyond that, The Holdovers is just a great, feel-good dramedy, and it’s worth your time.

How to Have Sex

Directed by: Molly Manning Walker
Written by: Molly Manning Walker
Starring: Anna Antoniades, Mia McKenna-Bruce, Lara Peake
Synopsis: Three British teenage girls go on a rites-of-passage holiday – drinking, clubbing and hooking up, in what should be the best summer of their lives.
Where to watch: Rent on Prime Video

Molly Manning Walker’s directorial debut, How to Have Sex, is a coming of age story that grapples with the issue of consent in a world of clubbing and hook up culture. With a powerhouse performance from newcomer Mia McKenna-Bruce at its centre, How to Have Sex is one of 2024’s unmissable films.

The Iron Claw

Directed by: Sean Durkin
Written by: Sean Durkin
Starring: Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson
Synopsis: The true story of the inseparable Von Erich brothers, who made history in the intensely competitive world of professional wrestling in the early 1980s.
Where to watch: Rent on Prime Video

A powerful film with Zac Efron’s powerhouse performance at its centre, The Iron Claw is a gripping, tragic drama that examines how masculinity and family dynamics impact both father and sons.

Love Lies Bleeding

Directed by: Rose Glass
Written by: Rose Glass and Weronika Tofilska
Starring: Anna Baryshnikov, Kristen Stewart, Dave Franco
Synopsis: Gym manager Lou falls for Jackie, a bodybuilder who is passing through town en route to a competition in Las Vegas.
Australian release date: In Australian cinemas now. Buy tickets here, or rent on Prime Video

A wild ride from start to finish, Love Lies Bleeding is an unhinged neo-noir that will make you laugh, gasp and cry, often in quick succession. It’s a campy crime drama that will hook you in quickly and refuse to let you go until the end.

May December

Directed by: Todd Haynes
Written by: Alex Mechanik and Samy Burch
Starring: Natalie Portman, Julianne Moore, Charles Melton
Synopsis: Twenty years after their notorious tabloid romance gripped the nation, a married couple buckles under pressure when an actress arrives to do research for a film about their past.
Where to watch: Rent on Prime Video

Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore are firing on all cylinders in this film that’s so high-camp it’s close to diabolical. Where the topic is serious and often deeply unsettling, Haynes keeps the crowd hooked with expertly placed jokes, and the result is a multi-layered film that will be on your mind for days.

Monkey Man

Directed by: Dev Patel
Written by: Story by Dev Patel, with screenplay by Dev Patel, Paul Angunawela and
John Collee
Starring: Dev Patel, Sharlto Copley, Pitobash
Synopsis: An anonymous young man unleashes a campaign of vengeance against the corrupt leaders who murdered his mother and continue to systemically victimize the poor and powerless.
Where to watch: In cinemas now. Buy tickets here.

A chaotic and often stressful watch, Dev Patel’s directing debut is a mile-a-minute action thriller that delivers. It’s heavy on the violence and features some killer fights as Patel takes you on a guided tour of India’s crime underworld.

Perfect Days

Written by: Takuma Takasaki, Wim Wenders
Starring: Kôji Yakusho, Tokio Emoto, Arisa Nakano
Synopsis: A janitor in Japan drives between jobs listening to rock music.
Australian release date: In cinemas now. Buy tickets here, or rent on Apple TV

A beautiful film about seeing the beauty in life’s smallest moments, Perfect Days is the kind of film that will remind you to slow down, breathe, and live in the moment.

Priscilla

Directed by: Sofia Coppola
Written by: Sofia Coppola, based on the book Elvis and Me by Priscilla Presley and Sandra Harmon
Starring: Cailee Spaeny, Jacob Elordi, Ari Cohen
Synopsis: When teenage Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley, the man who is already a meteoric rock-and-roll superstar becomes someone entirely unexpected in private moments: a thrilling crush, an ally in loneliness, a vulnerable best friend.
Where to watch: Rent on Prime Video

Sofia Coppola steps back into her zone with Priscilla, showing us the flipside to Baz Luhrmann’s frenzied Elvis extravaganza. Priscilla is a small, quiet, melancholic look at Priscilla’s life, with the pitch-perfect combination of glamour and loneliness we’ve come to expect from a Coppola film.

The Zone of Interest

Directed by: Jonathan Glazer
Written by: Jonathan Glazer, based on the novel by Martin Amis
Starring: Sandra Hüller, Christian Friedel, Freya Kreutzkam
Synopsis: The commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, and his wife Hedwig, strive to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden next to the camp.

An absolutely harrowing experience, The Zone of Interest is a film that will haunt you. Your ears are constantly drawn to the horrific sounds in the background, in stark contrast to the intentionally mundane affairs playing out in front of you, as director Jonathan Glazer pushes you to confront the mundanity of evil.
