Notable titles include the world premieres of Mike Leigh’s Hard Truths and The Last Showgirl, the North American premieres of Athina Rachel Tsangari’s Harvest and Justin Kurzel’s The Order, the Canadian premiere of Joshua Oppenheimer’s The End, along with many favorites from this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

TIFF 2024 Adds Films by Mike Leigh, Joshua Oppenheimer, Gia Coppola, Justin Kurzel & More

"These girls just needed a way to invite their fathers into their lives on their own terms." This acclaimed doc will be streaming in August. Netflix has revealed the trailer for a documentary film titled Daughters, which was a big hit at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. It won both the Audience Award and the overall Festival Favorite Award at the end of the fest, meaning audiences preferred this film the most out of any other playing there. It tells the story of a very special father-daughter emotional event held inside a prison in Washington D.C. Four young girls prepare for a special Daddy Daughter Dance with their incarcerated fathers, as part of a unique fatherhood program. Sundance adds: "A moving lesson in empathy and forgiveness, Daughters is a result of an eight-year documentary journey that filmmaker Natalie Rae and Angela Patton, an activist advocating for 'at-promise' girls, embarked upon. As Aubrey, Santana, Raziah, & Ja'Ana get ready for the special event, they speak candidly about their hopes, dreams, & disappointments." We highly recommend this doc whenever it's available to watch soon - it's an especially powerful experience.

Someone at Amazon Prime Video really loves Westerns. Among the new movies on Prime Video in July are classic Westerns, including Shane, A Fistful of Dollars, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and El Dorado. But Prime Video isn’t just limited to Westerns, and it has added a very robust selection of movies from the last six decades in this month alone. Modern movie lovers may appreciate Prime Video’s more recent films like Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, Bob Marley: One Love, and Lisa Frankenstein. But for our money, the one Amazon Prime Video movie that you have to watch in July 2024 is the 1985 thriller Witness.

Limited only by budget and the creativity of the filmmakers, these movies can bring nearly anything to life and use their unique worlds to tap into human themes and emotions, helping the genre remain beloved to this day.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

2024 is giving fans of pulse-pounding spy thrillers like me a handful of new releases to enjoy, both in terms of already-released titles (like FX’s The Veil) and series that are still to come — including Season 4 of Apple TV+’s Slow Horses, Paramount’s The Agency, and a new Keira Knightley drama coming to Netflix titled Black Doves.
As a hardcore fan of the genre, I’ll be the first to admit that Netflix doesn’t exactly have the greatest track record when it comes to espionage dramas — The Recruit and Fubar are two of the misfires that come to mind. However,...
