Remember the Oscars? Two of these films made the final round and one of them most definitely should have. CGI fans have been on our case for A Monster Calls, while Call Me by Your Name arrives on a wave of justified hype after debuting in Sundance and Berlin.

20th Century Women

Annette Bening captivates as a single mother enlisting Greta Gerwig and Elle Fanning to help raise her 15-year-old son in this funny, nuanced memoir of late 70s lifestyles from director Mike Mills (Beginners).

Call Me By Your Name

This gorgeous and moving adaptation of André Aciman’s acclaimed novel, directed by Luca Guadagnino (I Am Love), stars Armie Hammer and Timothée Chalamet as lovers in sun-kissed northern Italy.

I Am Not Your Negro

This Oscar-nominated documentary draws an astonishing, challenging and utterly contemporary examination of race in the United States entirely from the writings and interview footage of civil rights icon James Baldwin.

A Monster Calls

A story-telling monster (voiced by Liam Neeson) helps a sleeping boy with his waking-life nightmares in this adaptation of Patrick Ness’ novel, spectacularly realised with lavish CGI and painterly animations.

My Life as a Courgette

This soulful and subversive Oscar-nominated feature uses stop-motion animation to tell the unconventional story of an orphan named Courgette. From the key animator on Fantastic Mr Fox, and adapted for the screen by Girlhood’s Céline Sciamma.
