·      The highly anticipated Bollywood epic Ramayana opens across the globe this weekend, just in time for Diwali. An ancient epic follows a young prince and princess whose marriage and subsequent exile mark the beginning of a legendary journey. Their story of love, duty and destiny sets the stage for greater challenges ahead. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash. Most theatres will have two versions of the film – in Hindi with English subtitles, as well as an English-dubbed (and shorter) version. Go for the subtitles.

·      Another IMAX foreign flick to check out this weekend is Godzilla Minus Zero, the follow-up to 2023’s Godzilla Minus One. Set in 1949, the Shikishima family confronts a fresh catastrophe two years after surviving their previous ordeal with the legendary monster. Stars Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, and Min Tanaka.

·      Netflix’s Black Doves finally returns for season two. As spy Helen (Keira Knightley) navigates life as the prime minister’s wife and Sam (Ben Whishaw) faces a deadly ultimatum, an attack on Reed (Sarah Lancashire) pulls them into a desperate hunt for answers. The six-episode second season premiered on Thursday, Nov. 6.

·      Hitting Mubi this weekend is Making Marie Antoinette, which follows filmmaker Eleanor Coppola’s behind-the-scenes documentation of her daughter Sofia Coppola directing the 2006 film Marie Antoinette (also streaming on Mubi), capturing the craftsmanship and challenges of being a young female director.
