One Night Only
We’ve seen other movies – like The Purge – tackle the premise of one ruleless night. But far from its body-horror predecessors, One Night Only’s 12-hour period of ungoverned promise is funny and romantic. A comedy from director Will Gluck, set in a heightened version of New York, the film follows two unlucky-in-love strangers, played by Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner, whose paths keep crossing as they search for something deeper than a fleeting connection. Charming, chaotic and packed with downtown cool, it might just be the romcom of the summer. In cinemas from August 7 (US) and August 28 (UK)

I Want Your Sex
Cult American filmmaker Gregg Araki (the man behind the ’90s Teen Apocalypse Trilogy) returns with one of the year’s most talked-about erotic thrillers. Starring Olivia Wilde as a provocative artist who recruits a much younger man (Cooper Hoffman) as her sexual muse, this feverish tale spirals from desire into obsession, power games and betrayal. Bold, kinky and gleefully transgressive. In cinemas from July 31 (US) and August 28 (UK)

The Death of Robin Hood
The well-worn legend of Robin Hood gets the A24 treatment in this exhilarating tale, helmed by Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer. Based on the17th-century ballad Robin Hood’s Death, the film charts Robin Hood’s personal reckoning as he grapples with his early transgressions on his death bed, all the while being nursed by a mysterious stranger (Comer).

The Odyssey
Christopher Nolan takes on what is perhaps the greatest of all Greek myths in this retelling of Homer’s Odyssey. The ensemble cast is almost as legendary as the players in the original story: Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Mia Goth and more… Expect sweeping seascapes, time-bending threads and a hero’s journey told through Nolan’s epic gaze. In cinemas from July 17

The Invite
Olivia Wilde’s The Invite breathes fresh life into the genre of marital chamber dramas, delivering something at once raw, revealing and unexpectedly tender. Plus, it’s also laugh-out-loud funny. Written by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, the film follows two couples (Wilde and Seth Rogen; Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton) over the course of a seemingly benign dinner that quickly unravels into a forensic dissection of long-buried resentments, emotional dependencies, thwarted ambitions and sexual anxieties.
