Theron, who kicks ass in the desert and makes common cause with Max. Now we’re
given her backstory in this glitzy prequel starring Anya Taylor-Joy as the young Furiosa.
How did she lose her arm? Is Furiosa a nickname or an actual name she lived up to? All
will hopefully be revealed. Peter Bradshaw

Inside Out 2
Out 14 June
Pixar has lost its golden touch in recent years: might this sequel to one of the studio’s
most celebrated films help it correct course? Inside Out’s original team of emotions
(voiced again by the likes of Amy Poehler and Lewis Black) are joined by a slew of
newcomers, notably Anxiety (Maya Hawke), as their host Riley enters her fraught
teenage years. Gwilym Mumford

Sasquatch Sunset
Out 14 June
A gripping piece of absurdist futurism on the subject of climate catastrophe, with hints
of Planet of the Apes and Watership Down. In a vast North American wilderness of the
near future, four Sasquatch (AKA Bigfoot), played in old-school analogue hairy
costumes by stars including Riley Keough and Jesse Eisenberg, are wandering. There is
no human dialogue, just whoops and grunts. Their encounter with humanity is
heartstopping. PB

Bye Bye Tiberias
Out 28 June
Palestinian star Hiam Abbass is perhaps best known as the reluctant matriarch on Jesse
Armstrong’s TV drama Succession. Now this documentary from her daughter Lina
Soualem, with intimate interviews and personal videos and photos, tells the story of her
leaving her Palestinian home village of Deir Hanna in lower Galilee to pursue her acting
dream in France. PB

Kinds of Kindness
Out 28 June
We had only just recovered from Yorgos Lanthimos’s steampunk freakout Poor Things,
starring Emma Stone as a fallen woman raised from the dead using sinister surgery.
Now Lanthimos and Stone are reunited for a new film, an all-star anthology featuring
Stone with Willem Dafoe, Jesse Plemons and Margaret Qualley. PB

Twisters
Out 19 July
A sequel few have been clamouring for, this followup to the 90s weather-disaster film
nevertheless looks one of the summer’s more promising blockbusters, thanks to a
dynamite cast. Normal People’s Daisy Edgar Jones and Glen Powell are the duo trailing
a rather angry looking tornado, with Minari’s Lee Isaac Chung in the director’s seat. GM
