It was a little wetter and windier than usual when the Sydney Film Festival (SFF) embarked on its 72nd edition, but the inclement weather didn’t dampen my excitement. Determined to see as many movies as possible across the 12-day festival, these are my top picks likely heading to a cinema (or streamer) near you.

| 8 episodes With season two, Apple TV+’s The Buccaneers has nicely consolidated its brand. This is Bridgerton for the Sofia Coppola girlies, a lipstick-stained soap opera about hot young people with a chronic inability to commit, splashed with pop-punk feminism, pastel silks, and the occasional social insight.

Nothing stays the same in the zeitgeist: change, as they say, is the only constant. Unless we’re talking about Nicolas Cage going crazy, which never drops out of fashion—an extraordinary human spectacle, as enduring as the pyramids.

| 8 episodes Everyone talks about the one-of-a-kindness of Twin Peaks. Oft imitated, never replicated. Mother to all of television’s prestige dramas, each of them craning their necks up, trying to taste some of that same greatness. And many have, to some degree. But not in the same way. And not, I’d argue, with the same intensity of feeling.

A new film just landed on Netflix with the hopes of kickstarting a UFC fighter’s acting career. And it might just work, not only because he turns out to be a watchable actor, but because the film itself is yet another punchy French action flick currently populating the streaming platform.
