THE ROSES
Directed by Jay Roach Starring Olivia Colman, Allison Janney, Benedict Cumberbatch, Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon, Ncuti Gatwa, Zoe Chao, Jamie Demetriou, Zoë Chao, Belinda Bromilow, Sunita Mani Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy (Olivia Colman) and Theo (Benedict Cumberbatch): successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. But beneath the façade of their supposed ideal life, a storm is brewing – as Theo’s career nosedives while Ivy’s own ambitions take off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment ignites. The Roses is a reimagining of the 1989 classic film The War of the Roses, based on the novel by Warren Adler. .

GRACE:A PRAYER FOR PEACE
Grace A Prayer for Peace brings together filmmaker Dame Gaylene Preston and artist Dame Robin White (Ngāti Awa) — in an extraordinary collaboration. What begins as conversation evolves into a cinematic path across Aotearoa, Kiribati, and Japan, drawing rich connections between people, place, and art. This is not a biopic, but a creative exchange — anchored in Robin White’s practice and worldview, it becomes a deeply felt exploration of how we live, what we value, and what we choose to protect. Through White’s art, the voices of her collaborators across the Pacific, and Preston’s astute and considered lens, the film reckons with legacies of environmental destruction, displacement, and injustice. Yet GRACE never loses sight of beauty, humour, and the enduring search for peace. Strong, tender, and quietly transformative, it offers both a warning and a space for contemplation — an invitation to see more clearly, feel more deeply, and respond with humanity.. .
