### Robin Robin, *Netflix*

We’re big fans of Aardman – the makers of *Wallace &amp; Gromit* and *Chicken Run* – and this new film will entertain children and adults alike. When her egg fortuitously rolls into a rubbish dump, Robin is raised by a loving family of mice. As she grows up, her differences become more apparent. So, Robin sets off on the heist to end all heists to prove to her family that she can be a really good mouse – but ends up discovering who she really is.

### Being The Ricardos, *Amazon Prime*

A revealing glimpse of the couple’s complex romantic and professional relationship, the film takes audiences into the writers’ room, onto the soundstage and behind closed doors with Ball and Arnaz during one critical production week of the ground-breaking sitcom *I Love Lucy*.

### Encanto, *Disney+*

Got children to entertain over the holidays? If you didn’t catch this in the cinema earlier this year, *Encanto* is available to stream on Disney+ on Christmas Eve. The Madrigals are an extraordinary family who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia in a charmed place called the Encanto. The magic of the region has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift – every child except Mirabel.

### Stories Of A Generation – With Pope Francis, *Netflix*

Filmed across the globe over the course of a year, this documentary tells 18 stories of people over 70. Why? Because their lives can inspire our own.

### Stay Close, *Netflix*

Harlan Coben’s novels have been the basis of many Netflix thrillers over the last few years – think *Safe, The Stranger* and *The Woods*. S*tay Close* follows four people who are hiding dark secrets from those closest to them. Megan (Cush Jumbo) is a working mother of three; Ray (Richard Armitage) is a once-promising documentary photographer; Broome (James Nesbitt) is a detective unable to let go of a missing person’s cold case; and Lorraine (Sarah Parish) is an old friend of Megan's. As the past comes back to haunt them, it threatens to ruin their lives and the lives of those around them, so they must plan their next moves carefully.

### The Lost Daughter, *Netflix*

Maggie Gyllenhaal makes her directorial debut from a script she adapted from the novel by Elena Ferrante. Alone on a seaside vacation, Leda (Olivia Colman) becomes consumed with a young mother and daughter as she watches them on the beach. Unnerved by their compelling relationship, Leda is overwhelmed by her own memories of the terror, confusion and intensity of early motherhood. An impulsive act shocks Leda into the strange and ominous world of her own mind, where she is forced to face the unconventional choices she made as a young mother and their consequences. Also stars Dakota Johnson, Jessie Buckley, Ed Harris, Peter Sarsgaard, Paul Mescal and Dagmara Dominczyk.
