Read on to find out what’s new on Sky Cinema this coming month.

 

Sometimes I Think About Dying

Available now in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 12

Star Wars actor Daisy Ridley shows off the breadth of her talents with a subtle yet showstopping performance in this melancholic romcom. Ridley stars as Fran, a painfully introverted and solitary office worker who daydreams about her own death. But when she captures the attention of new co-worker Robert (comedian Dave Merheje), Fran reaches a crossroads and must choose between self-imposed isolation or genuine human connection.

 

The Shamrock Spitfire

Available now in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 12

Climb aboard and buckle up for the epic story of wartime hero Brendan “Paddy” Finucane, one of the most celebrated fighter pilots of the Second World War. As the Battle of Britain rages, Finucane’s gutsy fighting style captures the attention of senior ranking officers. The result? He’s made the RAF’s youngest ever Wing Commander, leading the now legendary 452 Australian Squadron in aerial combat. The rest is history.

 

A Sacrifice

Available from Friday 28 June in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

In Berlin, American psychologist Ben Monroe (Eric Bana, The Dry) is investigating how a disturbing local cult prompted a catastrophic event. He’s joined, reluctantly, by his teenage daughter Mazzy (Sadie Sink, Stranger Things), who is soon distracted by the temptations of the city’s underground party scene. But Mazzy is playing with fire – and her exploits, as well as unearthing connections to Ben’s work, put her in danger. Can Ben save his daughter in time? An intriguing and occasionally delirious thriller, produced by legendary film-maker Ridley Scott and directed by his daughter Jordan Scott.

 

Drift

Available from Saturday 29 June in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

As we impatiently await the cinematic release of Wicked later this year, here’s a chance to see Cynthia Erivo – who will star as Elphaba – in action. She gives a captivating performance as Jacqueline, a Liberian refugee who has fled her war-torn country in search of a new life in Greece. When she meets a tour operator (Alia Shawkat, Arrested Development) they form a steady friendship that helps them find their resilience to forge ahead.

 

LaRoy, Texas

Available from Sunday 30 June in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

John Magaro (Past Lives) and Steve Zahn (The White Lotus) are at the centre of this hilarious modern Western where a case of mistaken identity could be fatal. The film sees down-on-his-luck Ray (Magaro) confused with a hitman and offered an envelope of cash for his services. But when the real hitman sets out to find him, Ray must enlist the help of his PI friend Skip (Zahn) to make it out of LaRoy alive. Dylan Baker (Dream Scenario) also stars.

 

Anyone But You

Available from Friday 5 July in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

What’s worse than a steamy first date that quickly fizzles out? Bumping into the person who definitely wasn’t The One at a romantic destination wedding with no escape. It’s a scenario that sounds like the stuff of nightmares for most, but singletons Bea (Sydney Sweeney, Madame Web) and Ben (Glen Powell, Hit Man) join forces to become a fake perfect couple for their own gains. What could possibly go wrong?

 

Eileen

Available from Saturday 6 July in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Oscar winner Anne Hathaway (Les Misérables) is a glamorous prison counsellor hiding a dark secret in the twisty screen adaption of Ottessa Moshfegh’s novel, set in the 1960s at an American correction facility for teenage boys. Young ecretary Eileen (Thomasin McKenzie, Jojo Rabbit) becomes increasingly infatuated with the new psychologist Rebecca (Hathaway) – but when Rebecca enlists Eileen to cover up a crime she’s committed, it puts the strength of their newfound relationship to the test.

 

Manodrome

Available from Sunday 7 July in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

This disturbing thriller resembles Fight Club updated for the 2020s. Ralphie (Jesse Eisenberg, Zombieland) has lost his job and, lacking direction, finds himself drawn to a mysterious group of men who welcome him as one of their own. This is the Manodrome, a tight-knit family which promises to help Ralphie improve himself – but will he lose his soul, and his girlfriend Sal (Odessa Young, Mothering Sunday), in the process? Provocative and violent, it’s an exploration of modern masculinity that offers plenty of food for thought.

  

The Nun II

Available from Friday 12 July in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

Forgive us Father, for Valak has sinned again. The demon nun returns in this sequel to worldwide smash hit The Nun, and this time Valak (Bonnie Aarons, who originated the role in The Conjuring 2) is wreaking more horrifying havoc than ever before. When a priest is found brutally murdered at a boarding school, Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) is once again summoned to investigate the evil that is spreading at the scene of the crime. Expect plenty of jump scares, diabolical possessions and spine-chilling special effects.

 

Mean Girls

Available in July in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 12

New student Cady Heron (Angourie Rice, Spider-Man: Far From Home) gets a baptism of fire into the cruel rules of high school when she encounters the Plastics clique and their conniving leader Regina George. She’s played by Reneé Rapp, who also starred in the Broadway musical Mean Girls on which this new film version is based. Familiar faces from the original movie including Lindsay Lohan, Tina Fey and Tim Meadows are joined by Auli’i Cravalho, Christopher Briney, Busy Philipps, Megan Thee Stallion and more in this mean musical extravaganza... Just don’t take part in the #ReginaChallenge.

 

Robin And The Hoods

Available in July in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert TBC

Get lost in the imaginative world of 11-year-old Robin (Darcey Ewart, To Olivia) and her loyal band of friends The Hoods. When a property developer (Naomie Harris, No Time To Die) dazzles the neighbourhood with promises of turning the local scrubland into community facilities, it’s up to Robin and her friends to defend what has become their magical kingdom. Gwendoline Christie (Game Of Thrones), Mark Williams (Harry Potter), Morgana Robinson (Everyone Else Burns) and Christine Bottomley (Back To Life) co-star in this charming family flick.

 

Aporia

Available in July in Sky Cinema on demand. Cert 15

What would you do if you had the power to change the past? Play the winning lottery numbers or resit an exam that you flunked? For grieving mother and widower Sophie (Judy Greer, Ant-Man), she chooses to save her husband from the man that was responsible for his untimely death. But soon she begins to alter more events, ostensibly for the greater good, and her actions cause unforeseen consequences that leave the fate of her family hanging in the balance.
