Autumn might be on its way but September still brings a few rays of sunshine. September is not generally amonth that has blockbusters but with Covid rife over the last 18 months it has thrown most releases out of whack. We might only get to see No Time To Die in October this year which is one we should have watched months ago.
Here’s our top five for September 2021!
5. Cinderella (2021)
A new, musical version of Cinderella, starring Minnie Driver, Billy Porter, Idina Menzel, and Pierce Brosnan.
This version of Cinderella will be interpreted much differently to the norm and will be going straight to Amazon Prime.
4. Dear Evan Hansen (2021)
A high school student becomes entangled in such a large web of lies after the suicide of his friend. This musical should be a hit given its cast that includes Amy Adams, Ben Platt and Julianne Moore, however question marks remain on how close it is to the Broadway version.
3. Malignant (2021)
A woman who suffers from repetitive nightmares about violent murders, only to discover her dreams are actually happening in real life. This does sound like something that has been done numerous times before however with James Wan at the helm (Creator of The Conjuring) this one makes our list as one to watch.
2. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
It’s hard to create a list of releases these days without a Marvel film being released. With the next Phase in the MCU upon us Shang-Chi should hopefully be slightly different to what we’re used to and is likely to be a box office hit. Keep an eye out for Bruce Banner in the end credit by the way 😉
1. The Card Counter (2020)
A drama from writer-director Paul Schrader, whose film, First Reformed, gained excellent responses, is back with another in The Card Counter.
The film revolves around a former prisoner who knows how to play cards and bumps into a youngster ex soldier with a dark past. It premiered some time ago to glowing reviews however it’s only available to the general public this month.
