RUN THIS TOWN
Available to rent from May 4th on Virgin Movies from €4.99
The barely-believable true story of Rob Ford’s tenure as Toronto mayor is the subject of this delicious drama. Peeling back the layers of media reporting and political posturing, it’s smartly constructed and sharply scripted – even if, in truth, the tale at its heart is so good it’s impossible to imagine getting it wrong!
JOJO RABBIT
Available to rent from May 11th on Virgin Movies from €4.99
Taika Waititi has long enjoyed a reputation as a filmmaker with a flair for the unusual; his latest effort is proof positive that it’s well earned! Telling the tale of a young boy and his imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler (yes, really), it’s a bizarre but brilliant satire that’s nothing if not unique. Miss this one at your peril!
HARLEY QUINN: BIRDS OF PREY
Available to rent from May 11th on Virgin Movies from €5.99
Margot Robbie once again takes flight as the sassiest superhero on the block – and she’s got company! Fast paced fight scenes and anarchic action are the name of the game here, in a comic-book caper that delivers the sort of feast for the senses that all good blockbusters should!
1917
Available to rent from May 18th on Virgin Movies from €4.99
Presented as two long, long shots, Sam Mendes’ gritty wartime flick is a technical masterpiece – but it’s much more than that, too. Whether the intensity of central stars George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman, the high stakes and emotion enveloping every moment, or the frank and fearless depiction of the darkness of WWI, it’s an instant classic...
BOMBSHELL
Available to rent from May 18th on Virgin Movies from €4.99
The ugly underbelly of Fox News is the subject of this barbed and biting biographical drama. Margot Robbie is back – this time with Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman alongside her – and the triple-threat of star power is just as impressive as you’d think; throw in the power of the true story, and you’ve got the recipe for a captivating watch!
LITTLE WOMEN
Available to rent from May 25th on Virgin Movies from €4.99
The source material might be more than 150 years old, but Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of the seminal novel is, finally, the big-screen treatment it always deserved. From established veterans like Laura Dern and Meryl Streep to the young starlets including Florence Pugh and our own Saoirse Ronan, it’s a blue-chip ensemble; stylishly made, and faithful to the novel, it’s little wonder it’s one of the most acclaimed films of recent times!
BAD BOYS FOR LIFE
Available to rent from May 25th on Virgin Movies from €4.99
The boys are back! It’s been a while since we saw Will Smith and Martin Lawrence team up to tackle crime, but it takes no time at all to remember why we loved them so much! Slick, smart and sparkling with star power, it’s an impressive return for our dynamic duo – make sure the popcorn is in plentiful supply, cos flicks like this are what it’s made for!
